That is fascinating, particularly the part about the floor made of wood over the rubber!

But also the review - It's like being at the beginning of a very pleasant journey.

Phoebe

I should be there! May have some distracting stuff happening in hours 1-2 so please bear with me, usual triple chaos here.

Phoebe

I don't know when Rihanna does her stint as a rapper on Lemon/NERD track but maybe that wasn't top twenty. She's a beauty/lingerie billionaire though so she has more important stuff to do like putting out 2x onesies and eyeshadow palettes at affordable prices and raking up $$$$.

It's lucky that I was laying down in a lounging position when I read this because I have actually died completely dead now.

Phoebe

At first I thought I hadn't seen any of these but then I realized I've seen more than I realized, and much of what I both have and haven't seen has been described in detail beyond my wildest imagination by my kid. There's nothing like watching a movie for yourself but then having your kid explain it...

Phoebe

Oh I'm going to feel deeply cheated if I don't get a play-by-play review of this much as Kyle gave us the review of the Oates book. Come on man we need details.

Phoebe

I want to take a trip and I'm terrified to take my unvaccinated child on a plane without placing him in a bubble and I don't know if I'm insane for even thinking of doing this under the circumstances. When infection rates were the low ebb, it made sense but now they're going the other way. I feel so...

Phoebe

Prescient. My predictions for upcoming vaccine news stories: 1. Pockets of lingering virus in America even after most of the vaccination is done. These will be areas with high concentrations of people who refused the vaccine. 2. Developed nations have been hoarding vaccines, and when they are near 1...

Phoebe

I too have seen them in concert! And I was afraid of heights at that time and did it anyway! Still afraid of heights but it's a lot better now. But that's not the point. The point is they started to suck and I don't know if they always sucked and I just couldn't see it before or if they had a really...

Phoebe

Excuse me this is the stupid ideas thread, not the genius insights thread.

Phoebe

The Blueberry video is so nice except for the critical scene where they Bathe in a tub of innocent blueberries. Let's hope they were fully ensconced in Saran wrap and it was a clean tub, so they could rescue the blueberries after the shoot? Anyway, yet another one from the magnificent Seven. I have ...

Phoebe

Just checking in to make sure I don't miss anything by accident - no game tonight but next week yes??

Is it an epithet like Rosy-Fingered Dawn, or more of a title like Baroness Jones? I just want to know the proper tone in which I'm uttering it.

Phoebe

You may like my friend's song about the film... https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ttVaQ-qnm98&feature=share Why isn't this on the radio? Is that the guitarist from The Darkness playing keyboards? The whole thing has a very The Darkness vibe - yet more mellow and more triumphant - kind of a The ...

My husband is obsessed with heist movies or more specifically jewel thief/cat burglar movies. Instead of Cthulhu his other genre is War.

Phoebe

This video freaks me out because she has that one weird dance and just keeps doing it and doing it.

Phoebe

I so hate that take me to church song I have no words.

Phoebe

Presumably that stair climbing is doing something different with the calf muscles, weight-bearing, etc? Just reading about moving reminds me how much moving sucks! I don't mind the physical back and forth of it, but I do mind the straining and twisting and turning with heavy objects, like pushing th...

Phoebe

I thought we had a thread like this already but maybe I'm thinking of a previous version. Anyway, I needed a place for observations of the bizarre things that go on in life so that I could post this story, for which I desperately need an outlet for reasons that will make themselves clear: The backgr...

Phoebe

Excellent use of a pen clicking. Have never seen this video before and I'm trying to watch it while making coffee cup number two and I'm too tired to figure out if they manipulated her face at the end of the video to make it twitch like that or if she was actually capable of changing her expression...

Phoebe

There are four people in the evening grocery store wearing masks: two of the younger employees, a guy who looks to be Indian or Southeast Asian, and me. I surprise myself by not actually feeling any urge to sneeze or cough upon the people who stare at me with hostility, even though examining other p...

Phoebe

Narrator: They did not know that the real Trap Queen had yet to arise.

Phoebe

In lieu of a tl;dr ill-advised airing of laundry: People get stressed out about their jobs and then take it out on others. I am a strong person who requires very little affection or maintenance, and can easily shrug off cold behavior, but every once in a while I have a moment of sadness wishing that...

Phoebe

I think of your music taste as so expansive, it surprises me that it wasn't always just this way! I'm not sure what to make of this Olivia Rodrigo yet - her songs remind me of groups like Veruca Salt, but I don't know if that's because she's writing songs like this or if that's the niche that was de...

Phoebe

It is interesting that we don't see a lot of brand new pop superstars - Even when they have one big hit it takes them a long time to go through the whole pop industry machine and become full products. If we're in 2015 this is when Cardi B first starts appearing on Love & Hip Hop, so we don't kno...

Phoebe

Hell is other people. This woman is full of s*** and you don't owe her anything, including her deposit. Let her try to sue you for this amount of money that is probably less than it would cost her to hire the attorney. That is my non-expert advice which should not be taken as expert advice. Or pay a...

Phoebe

It turns out that yes we do care! Even though the story starts to get a little slow after the main couple gets together, it remains good because a lot of interesting things are happening, and the show invites you to reflect on various aspects of the human condition that are not often reflected upon ...

Phoebe

Yes reading wants me to make watch the story of how whether you are my mother. I know this isn't right but I don't know what to do to fix it so I think you'll get the point.

Phoebe

Is this like appropriating the culture of Quentin Tarantino?

Phoebe

Oh that sounds profoundly unpleasant. For everyone concerned.

Phoebe

Do you wear a hat? If so what sort of hat and on what occasions? I am a fan of hats and especially nice gentlemen's hats, though mostly one does not see these nowadays. I wish I could wear hats more often, but in summer I go out in the yard while forgetting to put on my sun hat, and I don't dress ni...

Phoebe

You got it. My phone is such a busybody but even it has nothing on the car. You think between the two of them they could detect when I'm not doing well and offer me some kind of soothing cocktail.

Phoebe

Books my kid has to read for college keep showing up at the house so I just read them with breakfast because why not? I feel like I should not inflict my interpretive discussions of them upon her, at least not until she's read them, but I want to be ready, you know?? So this has led me to three reco...

Phoebe

I bet my teenager would like these books! I feel like I have read something else by at least one of these people before but I can't remember what it was.

Phoebe

😮 Badlands! I'm very excited! I expect to come tonight but I will need to depart for about a half an hour at some point to pick up my kid from a thing. I'm also not mentally at my finest these days yet, sorry to say, so please bear with me if I am confused. By late in the evening I'm usually at a ki...

Phoebe

The cold medicine has had no impact. I object. If we were serious about happiness we would have done so much better with developing comforting medicines and non-addictive somas. I was promised soma, I was told there would be spice. There's nothing ... nothing but painful drainage.

Phoebe

Something deeply disturbing has occurred: BTS was on Jimmy Kimmel and it was nice, and Jin looked as nutritious and delicious as ever, but I was not especially dazzled. I enjoyed their performance but was not fangirling or unable to breathe. Well, that's the very thing: I have been sick and my whole...

Phoebe

Saucy thoughts: The crunch of undercooked onion, pepper, celery, etc is an abomination in sauces or soups and such veggies must be pre-carmelized. If one must stink of garlic for three days to enjoy good sauce, it's an easy price worth paying. Maybe mosquitoes will avoid you. Ideal tomato (which I a...

Phoebe

I would consider group assisted living with those of you who would want to form a regular RPG group. Not now I mean - like give me 30 years or so at least? But at that point okay.

Phoebe

Oh my, I have never heard of either of these things before, can you believe it? I think I may have seen a mention of something called Facebook marketplace but I did not really know what it was or what it did. So far I have found approximately three sets that would work and all of them are out of sto...

Phoebe

No clues whatsoever but I wish I knew what was up with that!

Phoebe

He totally had to wipe his mouth at the end of it to stop his laughter.

Phoebe

BTS is on The Tonight show tonight and that's all we really need to know to organize our lives properly.

Phoebe

I tried so hard to drink. Instead, I moved a bunch of furniture, walked a dog, took a nap, and then found myself with a fever and sore throat. 😡 There is no rest for the wicked, truly: I was forced to wake up and have a cough drop just so I can lay here, and since I woke up this terrible song has be...

Phoebe

Um, "let her go" and sous vide springs to mind?

Phoebe

Nice! I love it! Monday has been going very much more like a Monday than usual. From dealing with teenagers having emotional breakdowns - not even my teenagers! - to having construction workers in the house, to the urgent dental care for child, to dealing with my own teenagers' inability to clean a ...

Phoebe

For what it's worth I find it helpful to know that many of us are going through the day to day BS, somehow. I really want a day free of drama, a day when nothing happens but sitting around, possibly even making mild accomplishments, but having no particularly crazy extra stress. I can even handle a ...

Phoebe

Who can say these days? I'm encouraged by the fact that all of the doctor's office and dentists and veterinarians we visit with excessive frequency still require masks and have no plan to change their policy, which means if I feel like wearing a mask in a public place, so be it. We had to take a tri...

Phoebe

I think our two oldest kids should get together and be buddies because they seem very similar. The difference in this case is that mine is already unleashed on the world with the driver's license. I think talking about eyeglasses is an excellent suggestion for dealing with other issues. There is a n...

Phoebe

Anyone here ever dealt with the difficulty of possibly having to gently encourage others to stop driving or at least go get a more thorough driving test? I mean that applies to every teenager and person from Iowa I know, but they're going the other direction with it and hopefully will improve someda...
