Morning is still awaited. Where are you, morning? Bathed the dog and was so exhausted by the effort that I fell asleep as soon as he laid down after, so now I'm up and wishing someone would appear with coffee and a poached egg.

Message from the Scarlet Witch kid: "That's why there's a movie called multiverse of madness that's going to come. I knew a lot of these things but not all. I think Wanda's power is very extreme. If there are other Nexus beings, would they be able to create alternate universes? I'm not sure she...

Phoebe

That's pretty much what I'm hearing from my local experts. At one time they were pretty optimistic about next fall; that has shifted to pessimism for the reasons Mike states above and others. They're desperately trying to vaccinate people enough to get protective benefit before other strains rear up...

Phoebe

Twitter is such a place of rage but the truly terrifying form of social media is that next door neighbor app. My God is that a window into the suburban life and mindset! A lot of wackadoodle angry dudes on that site, and the Karening! I'm not fond of that term because I feel like it's been co-opted ...

So I have attempted to figure out if I can reuse my pedestal. This system is not designed for people to reuse their pedestal, let me tell you that much. These f****** do not want you to reuse that pedestal; they want you to spend $300 for a new pedestal. So now the question is whether I am capable o...

Okay just CLOSE THIS THREAD DOWN I have finally come to the light that WANDA VISION and its associated thread is in fact SCARLET WITCH VISION. My god, the stupidity level is off the charts, and here Pete is like, duh, rap-ture. You guys, no. WANDA VISION. I had no idea that was why. Dum.

Phoebe

I just want to add how much I love the green forums, how nice they are, how much I would like to give money to the cause of them (how do we support their upkeep? Check to you? PayPal?), and how much this is the superior social media site for all time. I wish I could bring like 24 middle aged ladies ...

Phoebe

We went The Kyle Way(TM) with our new washer and dryer, not the cheapest, not the top of the line, but moderate. The one bauble we got (that my wife wanted) is that they are WiFi-enabled, so they can send a notification when the cycle has completed. Since our laundry room is in the basement, out of...

Phoebe

I don't know - my kid is all exercised about it. Scarlet Witch is his favorite. She can open up alternate real universes. This is god-level s***, but beyond the powers of gods like Thor and Loki; it's actual creator god level s***. But apparently the true nature of the Infinity Stone has something t...

Phoebe

Why is Scarlet Witch sooooooo ridiculously powerful? And why would it be connected to Doctor Strange? I am concerned about this revisionist history plan for her.

Phoebe

This type of thing happens to me weekly. It's a sign of your flourishing.

Phoebe

Why theeeeee %$%(* is this "music" constantly still played on the radio? It's 2021 and at times I have had THREE DIFFERENT STATIONS playing this crap at the same time. What on earth. Why. I am not a fan. If we want to pluck up such hits for constant radio re-airing, well, we have Hall and ...

Phoebe

Muahahahahaaaaa appeasement! YES WE MUST HAVE BOY WITH LUV! However, this is another of my favorite 2019 songs from radio, apparently underrated by the world despite being some sort of post-dated precursor to Coil's Are You Shivering? - but for about a year I could turn on the radio and instantly su...

Phoebe

I have been up since 6:30, yet in these hours the number of things I have accomplished that would aid my own personal to-do-list cause has been approx Zero. I did have a cup of coffee! I was very proud of myself, so proud, for getting my kid to school this morning ONLY ten minutes late, when you put...

Phoebe

That is nice of them, although it has a certain "ghost haunting you" vibe, like they are going to keep singing after the grave and I don't know that I want a zombie chorus checking in regularly. But then again, I'm not a fan and maybe their fans do want this! Now that things have taken thi...

True - and yet, occasional counterpoints:

I thought I wrote a whole review of this last night. Hmmm. Netflix was pressing upon me a particular show with great urgency, because it was the number one trending show of the US blah blah blah: Ginny and Georgia. I have doubts about whether it's really the number one show on Netflix because I am u...

Phoebe

Since the thread is called pet peeves, uh, this entire 3-month period when the yard is like a soggy sponge made of mud, with a delicate veneer of poo on top. Does anyone have a realistic solution for this? Can I put a small water trough outside the door and just dip them in bodily each time they com...

Phoebe

Continuing on the journey of low-carb food: now you can easily get 10 carb tortillas (gross carbs, I don't go by net at all in this situation until something has proven that it's fiber works like that), three carb Greek yogurt, variations, and quite decent lower carb pasta made out of edamame or bla...

Yep also accurate.

Stan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 7:54 am Do you think Medusa ever pulls her snakes back in a pony tail? Maybe sometimes she doesn't want a head that looks like a bunch of snakes and just wants them out of the way so she can get stuff done.

It's a daily struggle, I tell you.

Phoebe

Now I don't want to squelch anyone's delights or dreams but this is why we only listen to BTS! And by the way BTS on their YouTube has a series called BE-hind (full), where each member interviews another member in turn, because the album is called BE and ostensibly this is some kind of BE-hind the s...

Phoebe

I miss going to the gym and I never thought I would say something like this - this is absolute madness - but I miss having shorter hair. The last time I had hair this long I was 4 years old so I don't think it was actually this long in non-relative terms, and I also didn't care if it got messy and d...

Phoebe

I'm so uninterested in Coldplay that I never really gave that song the time of day before, but give me Jin's soaring tenor and J-Hope's baritone together and WOW. Tears did in fact stream down my face! How did they know? I like BTS so much that I literally tried to buy stock in their company. It's a...

Phoebe

My washer is broken and I feel like it could be Tahlvin's fault because he posted about it here during a time when we're all trying to avoid contagion, and see what happened? And this is Saturday. And I haven't done laundry all week. Because I was waiting for Saturday. Thank God the little kid has e...

Phoebe

I just realized the other than my girl likes to party all the time, I don't know if that song has any other lyrics. Michael!! I can't understand it! Why you want to hurt me? You're missing the best nuances of this thing - here's the supremely confident comedian, loved by everyone, good at everythin...

Phoebe

I'm too cheap to do it, seriously. It's kind of sad considering the things you would find people in this house spending money on, but since this one is just my choice and I'm the cheapskate here, I can't bring myself to do it. But I have thoroughly enjoyed the clips on YouTube, thank you. The real J...

It has been a fun journey and now I would like to listen to Fiona Apple more, but first we have our daily BTS to take care of. Daily BesTS, BeaTS, BoTS, boats, boots, beets, butts, brats, bats, bets, bits, bytes, buts, boots, bents, barts berts beloits and bafflements, today courtesy of George Cloon...

I was just watching Coming to America last night before falling asleep, and Eddie Murphy is also a national treasure. But Patti LaBelle is a much more national treasure much more treasureful a bigger treasure than Eddie Murphy. They're both treasures though.

Phoebe

Watched the trailer and I'm basically deceased. what is going on in this world that my kids don't even tell me that this type of s*** exists.

Phoebe

They've done modern "live action" versions of both Dumbo and Lady & the Tramp. You could investigate to see how they fixed these problem areas. I've never seen them, so I can't say. My goodness. I'm speechless. Imagine live action Dumbo! Like with an elephant?! I really don't want to ...

Fumiste! Do not speak of a national treasure in those tones!

So I've been watching a lot of Hall and Oates videos. Out of Touch is great for the 80s dancing. Seriously, Oates is really owning it. But there's this weird moment at the 1:34 mark of this video where Hall does a spinning motion with his hand and sings quietly, "Turn around." I don't kno...

Phoebe

Is this the one I see advertisements for where some superheroes are living a kind of Truman show sitcom life and then someone else zaps their bubble and it goes all rainbowy? This is a weird description but that's as close as I can get.

Phoebe

These people also want US History taught with less emphasis on slavery and indian removal. Isn't that censoring the bad from the kids? And all this "education" happened in the northern states so God only knows what was going on elsewhere. That's what gets me. My experience was similar but...

Phoebe

There's something wrong with the minstrel show crows in Dumbo. There's something wrong with the Siamese Cats in Lady and the Tramp. It's frustrating because the racist tropes are so bad - the musical cats in the Aristocats are another example - but in all these cases of the cats and the crows, the ...

Phoebe

These people also want US History taught with less emphasis on slavery and indian removal. Isn't that censoring the bad from the kids? Judging from the way I was taught it, they want to include some of these things, but only insofar as it is clear the American Indians were particularly terrifying a...

It's like ophthalmology. Those pesky Greek letters getting in the way. I just like to drawl it out, the name Kyyy-uhl. It's like the difference between tile and tie-uhhl. I'm not sure but I think it comes from that Missourah accent that pronounces Missourah properly and says things like warsh. I get...

Phoebe

"better choice would be t make the forgiveness taxable" Yes, done, solved! Please send your plan to Congress. At some places it does already cost more to get a science education or more to the point, a business or computer science degree, relative to other 4-year degrees. Differential tuit...

Ki rhymes with eye and then UHHL rhymes with UHHL. Two syllables or I'll throw your pellow in the crick! (Lol even autocorrect tries to force that into pillow and crock.)

My plan was to pick the thing I liked best that you could move into with a year or 18 months of training alongside practicum, if you already had a BA: nursing. There is such a shortage of nurses I'm sure you could do it, but you'd have to want to nurse people, and that is doubtless one of the most c...

LOLLLL my kid is like, "finally you're playing something I like instead of BTS! You can play this. The restrictions are, one or two BTS per day." The restrictions, lolllll he's trying. Now he offers me three BTS; he rates Only the Young as 6.75/10. All my kids love Journey which makes me f...

I don't know what was up at my school, because I was at these junior high dances and such and I never had any of this stuff all of you have been discussing as staples of the dance. Maybe they lucked into some sort of DJ with taste? It was English Beat, ska, new wave, etc? And... JOURNEY! And Hall an...

I'm glad you are reporting on this book because I totally would like to read it, but unlikely it would actually happen, so now it's happening! In a form I can digest quickly but enjoy fully!

Having nice walkies lately, nice weather! It encourages the body to move about. Also I wish for a nap.
