Two Good yogurt. Recipe: buy one of the kinds and put some berries in it and eat it down. This is a genius product! I think they have three grams of carbs per yogurt? Or two?

Phoebe

Version 2: bad day of migraine. I need magical powers if I'm going to get everything done.

Phoebe

They have a crap sexual assault law in MN, perhaps surprisingly given other progressive moves in the state politics. My guess as nonexpert is that they really didn't have a choice due to what the law says, and this one is the fault and future duty of the legislature.

Phoebe

I have been exiting my bedroom late evenings to avoid Game of Thrones, but it's still on at various times in the background so I see parts and osmose others. This second time through I have been cautious about avoiding scenes with chopping and spearing and crucified bodies and all the screaming invo...

I finally figured this out, how many days later now? I mean he likes to listen to National Public Radio while smoking. I am now dead from the suppressed internal laughter.

Phoebe

Disturbing insight was reached: my children exist because I was sick on my birthday every year, didn't think birthdays were a big deal since I almost never got to celebrate mine, and as a result, failed to invite a "friend/frenemy" to a birthday party in 7th grade, causing all but a few fr...

Rush Limbaugh. 70. Finally. Was forced to listen to him for hours most every day as a Non-Political State Employee in my Non-Political State Office Building populated almost exclusively by White Men two-to-three times my age. Those were the days, I tell you what! Nothing like hearing about the femi...

Phoebe

I finally figured it out. 1991 and 1992 were me and Kyle and Phoebe's husband living together and jamming CDs into the stereo. Less pop music than usual was getting through by that point. Exactly. None of this music is real. They're only saying this to trick us because they know we weren't listenin...

Phoebe

My daughter did an exercise like this as part of a summer gifted student program or whatever, and they performed it on the audience at their final presentation. I don't know if it's going to be exactly the same, but that's what I assume is happening and SO COOL because Math!

Phoebe

Agreed; people aren't familiar enough with it yet and too many public examples are adults like Caitlin Jenner etc, so people may extrapolate backwards to a sense of more powerful male athletes not being able to change that basic advantage over females.

Phoebe

Being picky about terminology, I would say sexual preferences and possible sources of "arousal" aren't predetermined before birth, but sexual orientations largely are. Preferences are mostly mutable and orientations are mostly fixed. By that I mean most people are born with a gay-lesbian-b...

Phoebe

Spring is helping motivate. One wants to be loose working outdoors. Future exercise plan: shoveling mulch!

Phoebe

I would just add polling consistently supports about 75% in favor of giving legal status to DACA recipients, and more importantly, at least half of Republicans agree too. It should have been an easy fix long ago.

Yes it was part of the contract. It hurts my ears and mind. Need soothing noises.

Phoebe

This is great! What a long recovery it has been, yet seems to be holding! Powers.

Phoebe

I am not much of a recipe cook. Recipes are for inspiration and starting points to figure out proportions and sequences, but then you cook. Recipes are for baking when you need more precision. So please take this in that spirit, as a starting point, but I have achieved The Perfect Sauce for Most Pur...

Phoebe

This is so great - just so great. It distracts me from the ruin and disaster of my every effort to function successfully, though I will say I have managed to clean the floors of this house and it was like moving a mountain. Yet it is done!

Phoebe

I cannot even begin with that. Suffice to say they did not ban the Dr. Seuss Dictionary, so everyone discussing that issue can go straight to Hell without passing GO. Any mention of it in Congress should be an automatic disqualification to serve in public office.

Phoebe

What if I see no shark? Or anything except colored dots bopping around?

Hot take: they are not quite children, but not quite adults. They seem to be in a kind of transitional phase between the II.
Pete for the win!

Insert banana here!

My husband developed a pandemic habit when it was 20 below of smoking in the running car so the heater and NPR could be on. Now he continues the practice on balmy spring days. He smokes multiple HOURS per day. How that relates to the thread topic is left as a speculative exercise. There are no wrong...

Phoebe

Obviously the other solution is to organize like crazy to defeat disenfranchisement efforts, but it's very difficult and the playing field is so uneven. One concerning thing from my vantage point is that if we continue much longer with Republicans refusing to govern and people unable to accomplish b...

Phoebe

I want all these books. With a few exceptions, my book list is so boring in comparison.

This was one of those where I had no clue what it was based on artist and song title, but recognized it as soon as it started playing. I have never heard this in my life. I'm not sure I have heard any of these songs. I was on another planet in the early 90s. I was listening to ska and jazz and hard...

Phoebe

Looking forward to your review of Octavia Butler! Literally just bought that same book for myself a few weeks ago!! Look forward to reading it hopefully at least by May.

Phoebe

So many birthdays!!

Yet we are the ones who get the gift of y'alls presence!

Phoebe

Oh I was in the car today when I heard Straight up, by our girl Paula, and I started singing it and I was like Stannnnnnnn! That's a damn hard song to sing by the way, especially when you're a tenor.

Phoebe

That sums it up pretty well though. I hate it when people call fugazi emo. No. No.

Phoebe

LOL drunk Darcs is quality stuff. What is a swiss roll? Like a little Debbie? No, drunk Darcs is actually an abomination against Man and God and really shouldn't be allowed to exist. My goodness, what exactly did you do later that night?! I think abomination against man is pretty easy to accomplish...

Phoebe

Probably cannot play on Thurs.

Phoebe

Lightly refrigerated. I can dwell on it mentally; there's no little debbie here and she can't come in unless I invite her myself, so no danger.

Phoebe

I just want to make clear that I am not fat shaming myself or anyone else. No, I embrace the glorious fat of ice cream and other delicious dairy products! I embrace it fully. I'm just f****** unhealthy and sick of it. I love my body. I do not love being unhealthy.

Phoebe

You f****** make money so that you can buy the ice cream and then you eat the ice cream and then you can't eat the ice cream anymore and it wrecks your life.

Phoebe

The idea that Waiting Room would lose... That song defined an era; the importance of a single minute of that song cannot be overstated!!! Let's see which minute... Ok it's 0:27 to 1:27 of this, which is Exactly what all their live shows I went to were like. Being in that crowd, great experiences. Th...

Oddly throughout life most of my productive activity has been accompanied by or inspired by a certain type of Metal, like a plant that grows under favorable conditions of Mozart and damp sunshine. One of these useful minerals is Iron Maiden, so underrated and so unexpectedly highbrow. Trying to expl...

Ugh shut up about ice cream I have 2 sherbets and 1 mint chip in this house and can't touch either one because death may come for us all but I do NOT have the energy needed to buy bigger pants and a line had to be drawn. What is any of it for? Why was food made to be good if it can hurt you? $-$#&am...

Phoebe

Well it's good news either way!

Phoebe

Someone please do another book review of an audiobook so that I can feel like I'm reading something fascinating by proxy of a proxy. this turned out to be in fact the pandemic content we all needed but did not know we needed.

Phoebe

I want to drink just so I can congratulate Darcs on his attempt to reason with the Kafkaesque forces of pandemic governance, but I have too much work to do and too much migraine. Argh. Give em hell!

Phoebe

Please use as relevant, membership!!!

So by mask I assume you mean a normal mask and not a gas mask and hazmat suit, which will make things a little bit awkward on the work trip. But then being around people is apt to make things a little bit awkward. I am concerned that I am no longer able to fulfill my duties in the way that other peo...

I am afraid that if I focus too much of my mental attention on Tucker Carlson, I may somehow harm him through the inadvertent use of magic. It's best that I never have to think of him. The phone is strongly advised not to share any of his thoughts or images with me. Maybe his purpose on Earth, an im...

1990 #13: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI Recently had a wonderful experience where my teenager (who is wonderful when she's not arguing with me about wearing the n95 mask) was disgusted by the radio options in the car and demanded to be able to play songs off her phone. The very first ...

I hate it when I have dreams that involve fears about other people not being okay because the irrational brain is then convinced people are not okay, and the rational brain can try to talk the other part out of it, but it's a big struggle not even worth trying on some level. The trying just solidifi...

This song that I had forgotten about for a while was playing on the radio while I was driving and therefore it is now stuck in the head, and that's fine because it's actually pretty good! There is however no excuse whatsoever for human beings to have hair like this, and I mean no excuse for every si...

Ahhh I thought 1990 was the year for this classic, but apparently it came out in 1989. Pretty sure 1990 it was being played everywhere though. They had been touring through the late '80s but I can't keep track of when they actually released specific albums that got airplay. The first time I heard th...

Should the Democrats just be rid of it and then do whatever they have to do with the idiots in their caucus, to make progress? I have heard decent arguments for both sides. My inclination is that they should get rid of it, but that's because I assume the other side will always cause as much damage a...
