Peanut butter is a staple in my diet. I was raised on the peanut only kinds and I feel like the added sugar in the more popular brands just doesn't taste right.

Right? If a song/music is in a movie or series, include it on the soundtrack!!
I always hate that! I know it’s a rough procedure to procure them all (especially in the 80s), but still!

Hey @sluggodoug.bsky.social you just mentioned songs in movies that didn't appear on the soundtrack. Mine was "Elegia" by #NewOrder. It was in Pretty In Pink but not on the soundtrack.

Accurate, especially southern California. Born and raised in southern California, now living in southern Wisconsin. I do miss being able to ride during the winter months.

After moving here to Wisconsin 1.5 years ago, I finally got a library card from one of our great public libraries! Beyond the books, they also have Nintendo Switch games for check out. I've already got a book and a Switch game on hold!

A Robert Tanenbaum preparatory colour piece for his splendid film poster for 1978's “Battlestar Galactica”. Which remains, as I keep trying to remind the world, The Greatest Darn Movie Ever Made.

This looks promising! Might have to get one eventually. My fear is that since it will use emulation, the game manufacturers may not be happy with that feature; I know I will love it! Kind of like my old GP2X!

It is so good to be working in schools again. This week the school staff I work with are doing "Secret Santa". Today's gift from my Secret Santa was this: a box of tea and a VW Bus sticker! Two things that bring me a smile!

Same here! In the times I've seen them live, I have never heard them perform it live. I wish they would!
Same here! And it sucks that they’ve never performed it live during any of the times I’ve seen them. 😔😭💔💖💙 Xxxx
