My nutritionist told me that even if I missed by 100 steps, it still counted.

For what it's worth.

I received 2 vaccines in the past month, so just made a donation to the Henrietta Lacks foundation.

Hahahaha! THat's so funny!

Mine would be:
a woman is looking at herself in a mirror and the words that 's too bad are above her
Alt: "Kristy" and "Bonnie" are looking into a mirror and the words "that 's too bad" captioned. From the tv show "Mom".

With the exception of AZM, would any one of them want to voluntarily submit themselves to the level of state DOI regulation that this would require? (I suspect no.)

If so, they could do that NOW. They don't need to wait for the govt to ask them to do it.

I'm scheduled for my singles shot today.

I am more interested in the data about how people who get this shot are not developing dementia at the same rates as those who don't get the shot.

I'm in the age gap where what I think looks dated is now back in fashion, and it is more than just mom-jeans.

Aaaaand, of course I have already spotted what I forgot to toss in the basket to get cleaned.

A pleasantly buzzed family is an easier family, but the tipping point from pleasantly buzzed to aggro drunk is widely variable and situational. If you have a talent for mixing drinks, declare yourself the bartender and mix/pour lightly. You’re not charging money, so it’s okay to water it down.

It’s TOTALLY okay to have a gallon zip top bag in your pocket at the kids’ table, and anything a kid doesn’t want to eat goes in the bag to be discarded.

We WANT kids to know that you, their grown-up, is their ally & accomplice, because if they trust you with food, they’ll trust you with worse.
