Be careful what you wish for when you decide to build that great big wall at the border!

Phoebe

It's because he just isn't into her, obviously. This isn't much of a romance novel, despite the promises of "love inspired suspense" and "inspirational romance". I wonder how the Amish would feel about this: "pray to the Lord and then start murdering" Reading this is ma...

Phoebe

More than anything it's the constant use of "fight them hand to hand" that tells me this was primarily an AI effort. When we're done with this book summary, I'm going to post up for ideas and prompts for us to have Chat GPT write our own Amish Suspense and Romance novel. I think we can do...

Phoebe

I have tried to train my children to do these things but ultimately it's easy to fall back into the patterns of our own training. My parents wanted me to get the good grades and do all the extras, so that's what they expected me to spend my time on. I did have to do a metric s*** ton of yard work. O...

Phoebe

This didn't just happen so it probably doesn't belong here, but I need to shout it into the void desperately. Parenting sons and daughters is no different in many respects and should not be different in some respects, but other differences are real and there's no point pretending they don't exist. N...

Phoebe

YouTube then suggested this to me and I puzzled over it greatly because it's too early in the morning to make sense of this type of thing. They obviously love each other, I don't know. They love each other so much that he is into this not quite a lap dance but also not a good one, and then they walk...

Phoebe

The music is catchy and I like that he has a low voice, but that poor man is the victim of the same stylist who did Kiesza's hideaway video. Great song that becomes an earworm but the worst fashion ever witnessed. I say this whilst sitting here in ancient black stretchy leggings that have holes in t...

Phoebe

Getting older is weird. It's like you get wiser but pay for it directly in pain. Just laying here with one knee bent and all of a sudden it's excruciatingly painful in the knee. Why? Can't bend at 110 degrees now? Looking forward to whatever new insight was won.

Phoebe

Feeling like St. Bernards could have helped with hand to hand combat after all given their size and paw size.

I was picturing some thinner, smaller type of hound so yeah, it changes everything.

Phoebe

This is so pleasant:

Phoebe

I had not realized the extent to which Hunter Biden is the source of all the nation's problems but luckily the Maga Nation is clear about that.

Phoebe

If there's one thing we know about the Amish it's that they make furniture, and you need woods for that. Furthermore, this is Montana and they don't have any open non-wooded ground anywhere in the state. At first I couldn't understand why the dogs would run away in the middle of hand to hand combat,...

Phoebe

This is how I have learned that someone indicted Hunter Biden.

Phoebe

Maybe Jade herself will be the ransom who needs to be exchanged for her own sister! But Ethan just can't let this happen, can he? Or can he?

Phoebe

I really don't know how people are handling that level of being baked constantly. I found it nearly intolerable to be where I am and want to go to a colder place. Honestly don't know if I could make it through that much over 100° weather.

Phoebe

I'm wondering: Is it me or do other people notice that the humans around them are starting to lose their collective minds even more than usual? We saw an initial wave of distress during the quarantine phase of COVID, and then in the aftermath of rejoining society phase. Now it seems we've reached a ...

Phoebe

If something like that does start surely Montana is a likely location? You might say Idaho but Montana has more of that hot gun smuggling territory next to Canada where all the gun smuggling occurs. Not to mention the heavy armament. "...eager to murder whoever is shooting. It must be one of th...

Phoebe

https://youtu.be/9ZqqvrWCs3Q?feature=shared Okay yes I had to pull this out because damn! It's simply iconic. Including the video with her octopus arms and robot arms and the ladies in the blue and white robes whom I'm living my life to emulate now. I can't figure out the who whom in this sentence a...

Phoebe

Sorry Phoebe I'm really enjoying the new Doia songs. I have failed you I know, I get it and probably at some point I'm going to crack and find myself listening to it in the car without changing the station in a rage, but for now I stand firm in defense of the sanctity of Dionne Warwick! My kid keep...

Phoebe

I'm so pleased we're getting another Amish mystery review. I can only imagine what unexpected uses of Deus ex machina this author will be willing to throw at us, given the unwillingness to find even a cursory excuse for picking up the Amish guys at their houses instead of using the cell phone. If th...

Phoebe

Had not heard this one yet! Her vampire song is played about once every five songs on the local stations here. The announcers breathlessly wonder whether the vampire in question is Taylor Swift. Just when I was about to relent in this long campaign of distaste for Doja Cat, she decided to sully some...

Phoebe

New show: Lioness Updated version; Maybe this is on Amazon? - Yes, It's Paramount Plus obtained via Amazon prime. It's kind of a US version of Fauda as imagined by the white guy responsible for the Montana shows with Kevin Costner et al. I don't love it but it's also slick and entertaining and bette...

Phoebe

Lol yessss much better

Phoebe

It took a couple weeks for the first teacher to send me a letter about my kid, lol. The issue seems to be "Why does a thing need to be written on the special piece of paper rather than on another piece of paper that seems functionally identical except that it's not the special piece of paper?&q...

Phoebe

Trying to make a renewed commitment to fitness but really sucks because my swimming buddy is gone at the moment and nobody else will go swimming with me. :( I think swimming is so inherently pleasurable that I cannot understand why somebody wouldn't want to do it. But especially if you've got a budd...

Phoebe

I saw it most when you said Mark ruffalo, but I feel like you need somebody with even more delicate features who looks like Mark ruffalo to be the mate in this situation.

Phoebe

A miracle has happened and I found a Nicki Minaj song I like. For some reason my kid likes Nicki Minaj and we fight about this in the car because I do not want it while driving. This is not what I would call a good song but it's something I could tolerate while driving:

Phoebe

I am curious to read this - banned everywhere! Makes you wonder what you're missing! I don't want to miss out.

Phoebe

Pardon the whirring noise as I calculate how much money could have been saved over the years if kids had this option...

Phoebe

I love George Benson so much! He is older now and I believe he has a home in Lahaina on Maui - I hope everyone was safe and that it wasn't all destroyed. Regardless I imagine it has been a terrible thing for him and his family. I think he has many children and grandchildren as well. So many of the s...

Phoebe

I wish that man was a pedagogue, lollllll it was wishful thinking manifesting.

Phoebe

That's the one!

Phoebe

I have a CPAP machine by the way and hopefully am no longer suffering from any cognitive impairment beyond "being me". Names are withheld below to protect the innocent, but I was around some "Biological straight men" recently when my phone provided some urgent news about "Ri...

Phoebe

Insight: I would bet thousands that JoJo Siwa actually got her start at the terrible dance studio I was mentioning above. I will find out!

Phoebe

Assorted TV: Finished Homeland. It was excellent in the final season from a fan perspective, because they managed to make the hotness of the Russian agent relevant to the plot even as they swung the whole thing around to focus on Mandy Patinkin's character, beloved by all. I didn't love all parts of...

Phoebe

Oh wow, that seems late relative to here? Hope the year goes well!

Phoebe

I'm puzzled by this - is it a song and if so by whom? Is it a mix? Of what? is it "reggaeton" as my phone insists? I hear this on the radio, ask the phone what I am hearing, and this is what it tells me. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is being said here outside of a few keywords, so I ...

Phoebe

Very nice! I love rowing. Since it's summer I've been trying to swim more and find the movement similar to/enhanced by rowing in the winter. I'm struggling with the whole fitness category lately. I'm hoping that having better sleep will help.

Phoebe

I like, yes! My kid and I are so thoroughly saturated in Beyoncé's Renaissance that it's hard to process anything else. I was not mentally prepared, I was not on a high enough level to grasp the merits of this album until after I had listened to it for a long time. Now I feel like I'm on the right l...

Phoebe

I need to get a hold of a copy of that Dinner book.

Also:
A Knife in the Sky
Book by Marie-Célie Agnant

Phoebe

The only rational theory is that he would benefit somehow from the destruction of the entire company. Otherwise we have to assume whatever benefit he gains is not tied to the usual reasons, or he doesn't care about "benefit" in the usual way at all. Maybe this is the unpredictable art-for-...

Phoebe

In a nutshell, I stopped taking the antidepressant a little while ago at doctors advice - I am so well, why not try? Her idea. But she is solving my sleep problems and thus, I sleep. Dreams alas have been poor lately and a new low point has been achieved: I dreamed my grandpa was alive and married t...

Phoebe

The twisted logic holds together in the same way that by expressing his feelings of being aggrieved by the libs, Trump somehow champions and assuages his followers' feelings of being aggrieved by the libs. So when he fights back, It's like they're all fighting back against the collective mass of wok...

Phoebe

Three thousand years of Longing (2022) This movie I give a five out of five stars. I think most people here would enjoy it at least in some way. I'll just say this: Idris Elba plays a djinn awakened from his bottle prison by Tilda Swinton, solitary professor of narrative studies. The movie is filled...

Phoebe

Oh my, I think it would be too much scary for me but if you saved him in the end I guess that's what counts! I have this permanent headache that travels even into sleep and I'm having terrible dreams lately. Last night I dreamed that I was at work and everybody there was super unhappy with what I wa...

Phoebe

Apparently this woman has been around for a long time but I just found out about her via Spotify. So far Spotify has been pretty crappy it providing new music a person might like, which is weird because it has way more information than Pandora ever did and somehow Pandora did it way better. The &quo...

Phoebe

They did a nice job of balancing "fun for kids" with "hilarious for adults" and "thought provoking".
A lot of good discussions about it happening.

Phoebe

Flower songs! My kid and I have been discussing the whole Lizzo thing and I tell you it is not making for an easy conversation. He wants my genuine opinion and advice, and I don't want to teach him to be suspicious of the complaints of people who say that they are abused or harassed. At the same tim...

Phoebe

Oppenheimer To be honest I kind of hated it. It was way too long and suffered from the lack of smart editing. It does a terrible job of balancing the lead up to making the bomb with the aftermath and the investigation of Oppenheimer's loyalties. It contained many historical inaccuracies (summary her...
