It was the only side dish my teens requested. Has to be homemade. They don’t like turkey, mashed potatoes or stuffing.

Binging audiobooks and singing along to my walking playlist. Just finished How to Stop time by Matt Haig which would make an excellent movie.

I like self-contained with multiple extension options. I loathe the cliffhanger endings and then waiting two years for the next installment in a series. I won’t name names for the romantasy book 4 that isn’t coming out until next summer 😩

We have those at our local mall and honestly I’d rather pay the money to sit by myself with the smoothie and have my calves squeezed into pulp compared to a human that I have to talk to and tip

I just had this convo with my teen son who was making fun of me for hating the sound of the ice machine fan. Also asked them what we should eat for dinner as we were walking out of the grocery store with the soup we had just bought. To eat for dinner.

Please complain to your school board that the library is understaffed. The solution is not to put more volunteers in the library to check out books. The solution is to stop the steady decline of school library staff cuts that is plaguing our country.

I won’t name the popular YA book series sensation that does this but 100% agreed. It is also okay that teens like things that us adults don’t vibe with (and I did binge the whole series anyway and will be reading the next installment as soon as it comes out)

It probably has a lot to do with the techs who trained them, who are also likely not trained in doing deep research. And also, there are just some things that humans are likely to always do better, like thinking unique thoughts

Apple has begun autocorrecting commas with semicolons in texts recently and it’s driving me crazy! I just used three acronyms. No, I don’t want a semicolon in my text 😂
