So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Mabel insisted on sitting with me when I got my haircut which hasn't happened since my grandma did the same thing when I was in kindergarten.

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them.

Stuffed the toes of the kids’ shoes with newspaper for a successful April Fool’s Day prank that also 1) taught them to be skeptical of authority and 2) taught them about the many uses for newspapers.

So I asked a guy where we had paid parking for tonight’s parades if it might be possible to park there Sunday even though they were sold out online, and he said I needed to see the Special Man 😹😹😹

Private schools don't have to provide a free appropriate education for special needs kids but our public school do. Kill the federal Dept of Ed and we'll go back to the time when special needs kids were discriminatorily denied an education.
Call local, state, and fed elected reps now.
No regrets

Time to finally take down the Christmas lights (and replace them with Mardi Gras lights) so I can use them to keep the bromeliads warm
