Do you all ever think about how you can purchase rolling papers legally (for cigarettes), but if you’re found with marijuana and the rolling papers, you can get charged for not just marijuana possession but also for “drug paraphernalia”? I know it’s all context, but still, it’s an extra charge.

Has anybody else had trouble with pharmacists and pharmacy techs confusing dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) and methylphenidate (Ritalin), and no amount of saying the words clearly (or their brand names) seems to get them to understand?

What do we think the chances are that the government shutdown ends by next Wednesday? I’m supposed to fly to Phoenix to see my grandmother on her 98th birthday next week.

Perimenopause symptoms for me are putting my 14-year-old stepdaughter to bed, medicating the cats, then coming into the bedroom to change the sheets and all of a sudden my body is ON FIRE like I’ve run a marathon, and I will have to lay under a fan 15 minutes to AN ACTUAL HOUR just to cool down.

Last night I watched Hamilton at the movie theater, and there were some seniors there, and the man said he didn’t realize Hamilton had rapping, and he was surprised it was so good. He just thought he was going to a *regular* musical. It’s kind of sweet that people can still be surprised in 2025.

Why I love baseball: Yoshinobu Yamamoto was throwing a no hitter for eight innings and two outs (score 3-0), and then Jackson Holliday hit a solo home run. A double, a hit by pitch, two walks, and a single—and two Dodgers relievers—and the Orioles won, 4-3, with two outs in the 9th inning.

Please, I beg of you, MLB, please stop inviting national anthem singers who sound like my grandmother warbling at church.

EF Tours is really out here trying to get us to pay $230 per month for 21 months to send our 14-year-old on a 9-day trip to Italy in 2027. That’s $4,830. We love her, but we only paid $10k for our 2.5 week honeymoon in London, Paris, and Italy two years ago.

We have confusing tariffs, inflation that won’t come under control (thanks in part to tariffs), masked federal agents roaming the streets of DC, masked ICE agents disappearing immigrants, cancer research is unfunded, Palestinians starving, and Trump’s tweeting his opinions about MLB’s Hall of Fame.
This is the caller that sports talk radio hosts start trying to rush off the phone...
Trump is now trying to dictate who MLB inducts in the Hall of Fame

Really need the Orioles to extend Gunnar Henderson for many reasons, including the fact that I wanna know if Ben McDonald will still call him “the kid” when Gunnar is in his thirties.

Damn. There’s another pitcher in the MLB out of ULL (Arrighetti of the Astros). I’m sure I didn’t have this one as a student, but I still don’t know about Brandon Young.

Am I the only one playing whack-a-mole with scam callers over the last month? Every day they call (unknown callers are silenced but I still see them and get their VMs) and I block the number, but they call from a new number the next day.

And also can someone phone up Mike Elias and David Rubenstein and tell them to lock Trevor Rogers in ASAP? If we can flush $45 million for a talented but always-injured player, we can find allllllll the money for Trevor J’Daniel Rogers.

As awful as this season has been for the Orioles (and their fans), I almost don’t want it to end because I don’t want anything to change w/r/t Trevor Rogers. If he keeps pitching like this… 🤞🏻

I’ve been watching my mom’s soap opera with her for months, and I have some questions about just how many million-dollar or billion-dollar companies can be in Genoa City. Everybody has a company.

This is just a psa in case anyone doesn’t know that there are still 3 active meteor showers happening! Get yourself away from city lights after dark, let your eyes adjust for 30 minutes and just look up!

Now that all of this has calmed down for a moment, a quick word on Ryan O'Hearn. He was a pleasure to cover. In a room full of big prospects, he was the opposite — a real grinder.
That's nothing against anyone else in that clubhouse. But dang, it made Ryan fun to cover. And he was a cool dude too

My husband said tonight that he wanted to file a “formal marital complaint” about a “bold-faced lie.” He makes me laugh, often.

How on earth did DeJoy (or Tulino) manage to make USPS even less efficient so that now packages sit at the post office for a couple of days without moving at all, or they just don’t update for days on end?

I wonder how often baseball fans say “fucking Mason Miller” when their team is facing the A’s. I said it a couple of times myself tonight.

I find it very confusing that Angie Harmon isn’t a lesbian and none of the characters she plays are lesbians. She has Big Lesbian Energy, and I mean that as the highest compliment.

Just Dance but for middle-aged millennials, and the dances are easy like the electric slide and the music is just Usher and the Cha Cha Slide dude and OutKast, and maybe even we’ll re-learn the Macarena.

I just asked my husband if I should put “Cry over the Orioles” on my to do list. He said yes, and while I’m at it, I should put “Out think Mike Elias” on the (11-hour) drive home. I may have ranted on a long drive on Saturday.

I’m in a hotel in Lancaster, PA, and I have seen four separate women wearing bridal veils, each with their own party of women. It’s a Sunday afternoon. I don’t quite get it. Is this the end of a bachelorette weekend for all of them? Why Lancaster, PA? (Not a criticism, just a legit question.)
