Neither of us had been to the opera before and the dude in a trench coat with jars of eyes in it yelling buy my eyes - killed me.

The play Pete took me to was Or by Liz Duffy Adams at the Seattle Rep but the play (opera) we quote the most at each other is The Tales of Hoffman. There's a guy that sings "BUY MY EYES" at one point and we're going to reference that forever.
My husband took me to a matinee play and then we got lunch. Met online so I had evening plans with friends in case I needed an excuse to leave but I ended up taking him with me to Roller Derby with my friends.

Yeah, that's for sure one of the upgrades I'm most interested in. Good to know about the fuzzy one - was looking at it!

I bought a couple of whistles for me and my husband. Got them yesterday and my dog was so disapproving when I tested them in the house. Can confirm - very loud.
I've finally managed to do some shop restock, so I'm going to schedule a thread today that showcases some of our favorite new (and old!) items.
Starting of course with the whistles. YOU CAN GET 100 WHISTLES FOR FREE at the link in my bio. But if you want THESE ones from US:

I've been thinking about upgrading my barebones zojirushi rice cooker (mine doesn't even sing!) for one with a steam tray but now I'm looking at the bread makers .... My rice cooker is 10 years old and fine but no options other than rice.

Does it sing for you when the bread is done?

How can they treat anyone like this but especially children. I'm so angry.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasnโt for detainees โ it was for the staff.
