Went to check out the new, independent bookstore in Worthington, OH and found the perfect sticker to say “I’m sorry I accidentally ripped your heart out by sending your family a copy of Mira Grant’s Feed when you were only 13.” (Hallmark does not make a card for that.)

For the last 12 years, I commuted 42 miles to work (each way) and got my medical care at a nearby town, so every appointment didn’t eat 4 hrs of PTO.
Today I spent 2 hours reviewing the list of “in-network” specialists to arrange a colonoscopy and gynecologist appointment closer to home…

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

If you are a GenX American who still misses Diet Apple Slice (RIP), I recently stumbled across a close match. Polar Pink Apple & Lemon Seltzer + 25 mL of SodaStream Diet Ginger Ale syrup. A bit more lemon and ginger than the original but the smell is nostalgic.

Today I am marking the 250th anniversary of an idea, and reminding people that the United States was born on 6/21/1788 when the 13th colony ratified the Constitution. We have almost 12 years to plan a 250th birthday party for the Constitution.

Just got a required update on my work laptop this morning and the shades in my Outlook calendar have changed. The new orange is horrendous.
Fortunately, I used it for “must be FTF/using lab equipment/ onsite”
Since we’ve returned to office…i can just not use that anymore…

If you suddenly found yourself in control of say…10 Billion dollars, what good would you try to do?
Personally, i’d like to know how much it would cost to have kitchens and lunch ladies preparing the meals I got in public school in the 70’s…

The neighbor walked around to ring our front doorbell to let us know that there was a dead raccoon curled against the chain link fence between our yards and they would appreciate it if we could remove/bury it.
In retrospect, the possum who lives under the shed tried to tell us. 1/2

The only way to get whole milk Greek yogurt was in a multi-serving tub. So, i mixed the rest with berry jam.
All-the-sugar + all-the-fat fruit yogurt is absolutely decadent compared to the single serve tubs….

After a decade of increasingly wavy, thinning hair, I leaned in, cut it short, and bought curl cream.
And…over the next 2 years the curl weakened and weakend, and I’m back to a straight bob. (Stuck together with curl cream because it’s a straight dandelion fluff without it…)
