It's gotta be the new pope, right??? Because I don't recognize these Bears, but hell, I'll take 'em. The icing on the cake: Watching Aaron Rodgers pacing the sidelines of Soldier Field in frustration.

Snagged some delicious new flavors in today's adventure in Asian snacks: hot & sour lemon braised chicken feet (a very specific flavor profile for Lay's to be nailing down), scallops, fried crab and grilled squid. I'd be proud to receive a red envelope full of cash in any of these!

Nowadays, I'm unfriending and blocking people not because of their heinous views (already cleaned house several years ago on that front), but because they can't practice proper digital hygiene. They ALWAYS click on that fake party invitation link and respond when it asks for their email passwords.

Online retailers would save everyone a lot of time and expense on returns and exchanges if they would just post ACTUAL garment dimensions instead of meaningless size charts that force me to parse a bunch reviews to figure out what to order based on "runs small, "runs large" or "true to size."

The drought for American women at the World Figure Skating Championships is over after 19 years. Alysa Liu won!!! Talk about a comeback: "Retired" at the age of 16 to live a life, returned to skating this past season, put no pressure on herself and is now world champ. She's not even 20 years old.

Just when you think the Target shopping experience couldn't possibly get any worse: They took away all the call buttons at my local store, so you can't even summon someone to come unlock the item you need.
