As I was getting gas at 6:00 this morning I thought how yesterday Nicki was not very nice. At 10:00 I am still kind of annoyed at her.

Been avoiding taking tree down because... I just didn't want to.
I got everything packed up, bins put away, vacuumed, in 24 minutes.Honestly that's kind of annoying. Still have to get tree bag into crawlspace, but that's not a solo task.

I'm in this drive-thru line like I have crunchwrap money. I do not have crunchwrap money, I have bean burrito money.

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?
How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

It is not a seasonal food.

I try to make sure to talk to my parents every week and I see proof of life of my mom on FB regularly. I have not talked to them at all in January and then last night had a vivid dream about them dying weeks apart. Called my mom and they have been in bed sick since Saturday. Whoops. Bad daughter.

Both my older kids have googled something for a school project recently and said "what, that's not right" when the AI summary popped up. That's correct. The AI summary is not right. Never trust it.
The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

We're doing Christmas with J's side today. I have a ton of "minute to win it" style games and one very ornery eldest niece who is quite put out to not win every time.

Flu is escalating across the hospital. I was feeling pretty yucky last night and mom asked me if I was getting sick. No, I think I just can't subsist on beer and cookies indefinitely in my 40s.

We've declined 3 different offered plans for tonight. I want to do all the things but I am spent. J and I are going to make fish tacos and snuggle our dog. I'm excited he went to the stupid cable store to get a new xumo box (probably so I stop whining about the ancient roku that keeps going offline)

Oh this is a great thread.
My babysitter loved that we had cable so The Cars You Might Think and George Michael Faith come to mind instantly. I'd say November Rain, No Rain, and Blackhole Sun were on constant repeat for my own viewing. Also pour one out for quality programming like Unplugged.

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.
In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

After all the frustrating family interactions and household bickering leading up to hosting events, it is good to remember it takes all kinds to make the world go around. Too many order muppets means no cookies for anyone.

Every Last One of Us Is a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet
Every once in a while, an idea comes along that changes the way we all look at ourselves forever. Before Descartes, nobody knew they were thinking....

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Had to leave work to take Kelsey in for a sample to see if latest round of drugs is working. My boss kicked me out and said not to come back. So I'm snuggling her with my new blankie and a smoothie. Relaxation at last.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?
