BOOM! If you're a little old lady add a cardigan and nobody suspects until it's TOO LATE.

Phoebe

That really hit the spot at this particular moment.

Phoebe

You betcha! One of the great things about Sesame Street generally, like the muppets, Mr. Rogers and other such things, is that they didn't underestimate the capacities of kids. I lived for the moments this would come on. Let's be honest I still live for it:

Phoebe

That's the thing. In the realm of "cocktail mixtures" a lot of weird things turn out well, and this is in that realm. It's like some drink with Kahlua and whatnot and coke - maybe that's good, right? I prefer my coke with Jack or the Captain, and my coffee with Milk, but you never know. Po...

Phoebe

Same here - I want to drive it until chunks start falling off or the transmission collapses or something bad costs more to repair than the whole vehicle is worth! I'm just putting the banana here to see what happens because it looks DISTURBING on this computer: :cry: What, what?! That's not a banana...

Phoebe

Watching true crime type recreations narrated by police/fbi who were tangling with criminals, being shot, etc. Honestly less upsetting to watch after that other show, but still scary!

Phoebe

Oh noooooo just when the foot was treating you well!!! Hope it heals quickly. Tell the foot to have a serious discussion with that rebel. Maybe yoga can keep the pain/tightness from spreading? Does it hurt when you're not flexing it?

Phoebe

Right but what is it? Do I wish to invest?

Phoebe

My heavens, I recoil inside my very flesh. But never say never.

Phoebe

Lol does this make me a negative person? Just because it's misanthropic doesn't mean it's negative.

Phoebe

This is why I don't tweet! Reduced to aphorism, I know things won't go well. It's like putting knives in your hands and trying to dance with someone. Pete and Walter Shaub are the people I know worth following on twitter (if the rest of you are there, I remain blissfully unaware). I still have some ...

I just about fell over because I didn't realize it was them!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love these women and have seen them live in concert. That is all.

Phoebe

My child (9) says: "Blah blah blah, you know what's going to happen here, the people say they're in love, something goes wrong, they're not in love, events happen, they're in love. It's over. There! You saved yourself hours, you're done, STOP WATCHING." OK now that I have watched other epi...

Phoebe

This is one of the unexpected blessings of adult children: They know things. I don't have to research or understand so many issues. I know how not to support Nestles, what the roi for a tesla is, which gadgets to buy. All it takes is between one and three calls I was going to make anyway. Wait what...

Phoebe

SUPERMAN WILL LITERALLY BLAST THE EVIL FROM THIS THREAD WITH HIS BAGPIPES OF STEEL

Phoebe

NAY I WILL CLEANSE THIS THREAD WITH THE PURIFYING FIRES

Phoebe

Oh Lord in all my time on this earth I had been spared actually SEEING what I was hearing here, as an innocent youth subjected to the Radio. Why, why did you inflict this upon us? I cannot remember the NAME of the person who used to do this, but I remember the FACE of this kid, smirking Butthead sty...

Phoebe

When I'm in my low rider I don't even drive that fast.

Phoebe

Oh for real back on that workout program now - I don't want to get too confident about it until a couple of weeks pass, but at least I've been doing enough to awaken all the little muscles that workouts used to require, and now the chorus of little muscles is screaming in agony in unison!

Phoebe

Sitting here wearing leggings as pants right now but I don't recall you having visited my kitchen, so, no idea what you could POSSIBLY mean.

Phoebe

Mike, Score.

Phoebe

Current musical joy:

Phoebe

This "Was It Love?" show is not as good as the Rookie Historian show - I think I lucked into the #1 all time K-drama when I picked that one based on the word "Historian", because how could a show about historians in a context where it makes sense to speak of a rookie not be great...

Phoebe

Has the subject of Bridgerton come up here? Am I spelling it wrong and that's why it does not appear in search? Anyway, I watched it. Many of my women acquaintances were in a great lather over it so I figured, let's see what that's about. This was a while ago, not sure when. Pre-Rookie Historian, ob...

Phoebe

I browsed some random K-dramas on Netflix in the aftermath of the devastating explosion of the heart and mind wrought by Rookie Historian. None were satisfying. Duh. How could they be, when they lacked Min U-Won, my beloved? Time does not heal all wounds, certainly, but after a few days and a few fa...

I feel like a monster for eating a pork roast and enjoying it this much. I do not eat pork very often if at all these days, but to make a long story short I acquired a pork roast and did not have any achiato paste or seeds. I wanted to make cochinita pibil. It was necessary to improvise. I cut up my...

Phoebe

I miss fitting into my normal jeans properly. I used to think that leggings were not pants because, obviously, they're not pants. I wondered why we would show the world the outline of our butt if we did not have to. I did not like the sensation of tightness in pants, or tights, or pantyhose, and it ...

Phoebe

I've exercised on this day. I was forced to leave the house multiple times and don my "fat pants" as if I am a competent and functional professional. These experiences are quite motivating for exercise. I do not wish to be a miserable slug.

Phoebe

Good, I am not interested in their advice! Who are these people to advise me? I should be advising them.

Phoebe

Did you play again yesterday???? I have been in and out and busy all weekend and I'm afraid I missed it.

My life is screwing up my role playing.

Phoebe

Both of my grandparents had separate bedrooms and were quite happy with that arrangement. Later in life, blessedly later, I discovered it did not impede any of their other activities much. My parents, by contrast, always shared a bedroom, and then at some magical unknown age they started having thei...

Phoebe

I keep hearing a steady drumbeat about relative normalcy by summer - maybe August? Maybe by then the combination of the virus starting to lack hosts, and other measures ramping up, will be enough. It's enough to make me wonder, what will I be happiest to have back in life when that occurs? Obviously...

Phoebe

How does living the Kyle way relate to Lifehacker? Is there any overlap? Translation: my husband is sending me links from Lifehacker again. I thought we had squelched that successfully a long time ago.

Oh yes, those horrid cheesy bridges. No to all of that. The new direction is quite pleasant by contrast.

Phoebe

Paging through Biden latest headline that reads "imperative to end suffering". I know dude is not going to be able to suddenly end suffering, nor does that mean he would choose the right policies to get the job done, but my goodness what a change in orientation. Government that isn't focus...

Phoebe

A senseless name for a tank top!

Phoebe

Sounds fancy, black stainless! I have a Samsung now that came with the house, and it does okay but they're getting old and I don't like sideload washer style - let me know if you like it relative to the top loader. I don't feel like I'm getting a good test because I inherited this machine that was a...

Every slumber party ever. I'm not sure the rest of you had that experience but if you didn't it's a shame.
Formative.

I can never get past the fact that the short one there was the law review editor on the Paper Chase. It's the funniest thing ever.

Phoebe

Aghh, this song used to be played on the radio so, sooo much! We're really into a whole period of the seventies here that was inflicted upon me when my brain was soft and malleable and had minimal ways of resisting. I used to try to find the rock station on the radio so I could hear Led Zeppelin at ...

Phoebe

Don't hate me for my hot take du jour, because I'm really trying hard to separate my personal dislike for these adults from judgment about the issue. As a human who has witnessed a number of crazy abusive people in action, I nevertheless believe Claudia Conway is also capable of taking/editing video...

Phoebe

I thought the reason you had that little 18-minute soap and rinse and spin cycle was for all the times an abandoned washed but undried load was discovered! Are you saying we're always supposed to move those into the dryer? That will be shocking news for my household. Tell me which one you got and if...

Phoebe

Oooooohhhh the massive sense of relief is palpable! Thank you. Finally. I can breathe out. Orders to find those missing children. Orders to investigate Russia's b*******. Student loan freezes during the pandemic. I can't even keep up with all the good stuff happening. It's extremely reassuring. Mayb...

Phoebe

Oh I miss concerts too! That's one of the few things I feel like I'm missing and that I would leave my house for in the future. I was puzzled by the whole bracket system for Pete's latest competition, because even though I theoretically "knew" that Taylor Swift had two albums in the same y...

One of the ways Google does its thing is by giving you more and more access to content prepared by someone else. I wondered how they d...

Arctic national refuge drilling stopped, keystone XL stopped, various bad people ejected from their positions where they were doing harm, back into the Paris agreement, back to WHO, listening to actual damn scientists for a change. It's all so much good. Press secretaries giving normal press confere...

Phoebe

I assume we are not playing tonight but this is the first opening I've had. Unfortunately next week I am 100% busy Thursday until about 11:00 p.m. Eastern.

Phoebe

If Obama hadn't picked him then he wouldn't have been president when your washer and dryer failed, so like most things it turns out to be Obama's fault. It was wild to see him at the graduation (forget it I give up on verbal communication, human communication. I'm going back down under my blanket.)

Phoebe

That's exactly what it's like. Also like situations where even positive change, if it's disruptive enough, can be experienced as a difficult stress. Like starting a new job or something, maybe it's a great thing but it still brings on all the stresses of new worries and changes. I am kind of at my m...
