I’ve been banned from three bars for hand feeding women apple chunks (one woman was really into it but things didn’t work out).

It’s never a bad day to bring up trinitarian complexity from an outside perspective.

Cinnamon buns are a-rising. It’s truly Christmas morning.

Two people bought matching pjs for everyone to wear.

Crackers!

Lemon ricotta cookies:

Put up tree and lights but skip the rest?
Athens outlasts Sparta. The Romans conquer the various barbarians. The Vikings get cooked into good Europeans. Napoleon loses. The South loses. The Germans and Japanese lose.

Every single one of these vaunted warriors lose to nerds who like to build stuff and who care about details

In declining levels of reasonableness:
1. Paid-off homes removes most of the biggest living expense, social security/pension/other savings cover the rest.
2. Sell big home in expensive place and buy small home in cheap place. Net proceeds cover other costs.
3. HELOC/Reverse mortgage.

Tucson had so much loose in the low lying trees it was removed by the local parks people. These guys would be dumb enough to get bit.

Go woke or jaw broke.

Need a shady quartermaster? I’m also good at herding drunk people.

Your hands know what you want. Hop on the train and come to our Christmas markets.

It’s honestly lovely. I love the district in the rain.

There are a lot of suicides among grad students and a few murder suicides. This is the best known case from about a decade ago.

Interestingly almost all the hotel’s I looked at in downtown Montreal had kitchenettes. I wonder if its a Qubecque thing.

Y’all need somer Germans. Aldi, lidl, TJs, and semi-Wegmans.

The first screenshot shows tabs for girls, guys, and anime (the three genders).

The ages are still creepy and the photos looks just barely inhuman like a bad photoshop.
