Oh wow I hardly know any of these! Should be interesting. It won't let me look at the playlist on my phone, must be the settings on here. Will have to examine this later. Today is also mentally a day of Mozart and I cannot get anything else past it!

Phoebe

There's almost an echo of PTSD in the aftermath. I don't say that lightly - it's like only today could some portion of the brain finally uncoil itself and try to process its unhappiness through years of this.

Phoebe

I wish I could take your money, but my life is screwed up and shows little sign of improvement beyond the significant psychological benefit conferred by not having looney-tunes, hostile people running the nation.

Phoebe

Hopefully very long because filled with all the good stuff that is going to happen. Please!

Phoebe

Can't complain about these - if the others have to lose you can pick a worse person than Beyoncé to lose to! I need some kind of music for the evening, because I'm so freaked out and stressed out by everything going on. there's just so much coincidence stressful stuff happening right now it is beyon...

Phoebe

My beloved Walter Shaub sums up the evening's feelings pretty accurately: "I feel many things today. They are not all compatible with one another, which is why I'm twitching and barking. Tonight I shall howl at the 37% illuminated waxing crescent moon beside the Potomac. Do not approach unless ...

Phoebe

I like Voyager better too. Stacey Abrams staying good in every way.

Phoebe

I continued watching the Rookie Historian show until the suffering of our main couple ceased and I was certain that everything was going to be okay, which meant watching it all the way to the end. I believe it had 20 total episodes. Things were resolved well for most people, with some quite unexpect...

Phoebe

I've made it far enough into rookie historian that we have reached a sad time in the show, when pointless, stupid things are separating our people! Everyone is sad - things are not working out for anyone! However they may be working out for Grandma who may be able to accomplish everything we need to...

Phoebe

I am so sad that I missed all this awesomeness. I have to get in there and read the chat log or something. It's one of those things that is going to happen sometimes when you have kids, but I really wish it had not been this particular event.

Phoebe

When I saw the top part of your post I shuddered in horror because I thought maybe you were reporting a news story, and then I saw the second part and I was like, yes. Yes we do love them. Maybe it stems from that memory in childhood where school milk was a nickel or a dime or $0.15, and you might o...

Phoebe

Well you have managed to come up with with my two favorites assuming we discount BTS, so that this is pleasant!

Phoebe

You should assess yourself harshly for assessing yourself harshly, is that what we're saying now? That somehow did not work out properly! I know it's probably impossible to stop doing it. But I do think cognitively it is helpful to talk yourself through what is a realistic criticism and what is an e...

Phoebe

Dire wolves aren't wolves, Stan isn't really a dolphin.

Phoebe

Remote learning is sometimes very difficult for kids. I don't think you can judge much that's happening right now in mid-pandemic. So perhaps you could go back to harsh self assessments next year, but you're pretty much disqualified from making them now because everybody is in a barrel of s***.

Phoebe

That sounds about like these people: please be willing to risk your life for me at a moment's notice, but by the way don't you f****** dare use my toilet.

Phoebe

Finally have reached a place where we can sign up for a vaccine, parents are already in line for a vaccine, and now we just wait to be called. It is a very frustrating process, poorly organized here. You have to know where to call, where to sign up, and confused people start giving out misinformatio...

Phoebe

So they're upset and crying about something that they stir up against others on a regular basis? What horrid babies they are. But hey, same crew that genuinely seems personally affronted when they don't get a religious cup from a coffee maker during December. Anyway, the more we are finding out - ap...

Phoebe

The Kyle way of living is very sensible.

Phoebe

I was able to watch half of one episode of the precious RH tonight before the damn Medicis returned to my screen against my will. In old age it's no longer about petty matters like who has the remote; I avenged myself by remarking upon the striking resemblance between the woman in the show my husban...

Phoebe

Oooooh I don't even want to know why Mike is saying that, i.e. what news prompted it. So these GOP reps who worry about losing their lives... Why is that exactly? Do they think they face attempts on their lives coming from Trump's motivated but crazed right-wing followers? Or are they insinuating so...

Phoebe

On rookie historian now they are fighting corruption. Min U-Won is so wonderful and now there are hints of some kind of complications in his past... Oh dear!!

Phoebe

I had a Maytag washing machine from the late 1970s or maybe early 80s that weighed about 400,000 lb, and eventually we had to leave it behind because we didn't have enough people who could physically pick the thing up and get it up the stairs. I keep meaning to go and investigate whether it still li...

Phoebe

These people make me sick.

Phoebe

I think you made the right call on both of those, because in the first case the song is not that hot, and in the second case the competitor song IS that hot. My only objection to the Savage remix is that Tina clearly still is a savage and so they should not be using the past tense on her in that way...

Phoebe

So basically we can trust Stan and sea creatures, that's the message I've learned here so far?

Phoebe

I object to the dogma that "play that funky music" actually plays funky music! Mais non! Only if you mean funky in the way that a soiled sock might be funky! All you geriatrics here, probably members of AARP already. Do you think at some point there will be enough old people interested in ...

Phoebe

I think he just does have a genuinely caring personality and probably is capable of learning. I know people have different complaints about him but there's a lot to like. It's amazing what happens when your deliberate purpose is not to destroy the department for which you're nominating someone, and ...

Phoebe

In all the chaos occurring both in and outside the home over the past week or two, I completely missed that Merrick Garland will be our AG. Did I in fact dream this or is that real? I actually shed a small tear. Also we are going to have the most diverse administration ever in our history.

Phoebe

I bought a dishwasher a year or two ago, can't remember exactly, but I have thoughts about dishwashers. I don't know if they are in keeping with the Kyle way, that remains to be seen, but here's what I learned. I tried to purchase different types of extremely fancy European dishwashers, on the groun...

Phoebe

If they want to impeach and remove him that's the first step towards taking their own party back, and even though I'm sure the motivations are 110% selfish, I'll take what I can get at this point. If it divides the Republican party in half and prevents these crazies from being the ascendant force in...

Phoebe

I like this idea but have too little trust in garbage disposals. The less pleasant way is to put a little metal mesh thing in your drain to gather up all the bits of food and trash, and regularly dump it in the garbage can. But then other people come in and don't like having that mesh thing there, a...

Phoebe

Oh gosh I love that Frankie Lymon song - he was like the Michael Jackson before there was a Michael Jackson. I feel sad for that man; what a tragic life.

Phoebe

DID NOT KNOW! And I love the chirpy bird!

Phoebe

Hear, hear. We have to keep chipping away at this thing with whatever tools we have.

Phoebe

The more we learn about it, the more the objective and plan of this whole operation seems to be more sinister and complicated than initially suggested. While the initial news reports focused on a guy with horns, now we're finally getting the video and pictures of horrifying assaults on police, of we...

Phoebe

I haven't finished it yet but I am now several episodes in and this is one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. It's not quite on a par with the 1995 pride and prejudice but it's pretty close. I question my whole life and sanity because I continue to feel excessive sympathies - Oh s*** could this...

Phoebe

So glad to hear that you are running again and it's going well! Happy feet, Happy life.

Phoebe

Thank God they have not become like cats and developed both techniques and parasites that subject us to their wills. Otherwise we would be overrun and every home would have a koala. Note that the cat-overrun problem in Australia is so bad that they are actually trying to kill millions of cats to dea...

Phoebe

My parents are almost in the situation where they could stay home completely safe, but unfortunately my mom's health is such that they are sometimes having to risk exposure, or at the very least exposure to me to help them. I try to keep myself locked down as much as possible, but if my husband want...

Phoebe

I cannot say I feel bad that Parler has had to shut down, but it does concern me insofar as I don't understand how such platforming works. Could they simply decide to offer their service on some other platform, some other company that would sell them space, and so on? The fact that their lawyers dro...

Phoebe

Parents cannot get vaccine. Thousands of people their age have already received vaccines in their state, so they should be able to get it, but they cannot. No idea why.

Phoebe

Ah, if they want ammo they will be disappointed, because unless they have some specialty item, no ammo left in that store. Cheerful thoughts! :) But seriously, cannot even go to the practice range (which is one of the few places that might be reasonable to go despite COVID) because there is so littl...

Phoebe

I made coffee, set it down on the table, went back to make oatmeal, and by that time forgot whether I had actually made the coffee. I was going to make another cup and then found the first one sitting full on the table! What a victory! Day off to a good start already. Oops I spoke too soon. Cannot b...

Phoebe

My friend went to a store where they sell guns, to pick up something else, and discovered a huge winding line of people waiting to purchase a gun at that counter. Sobering.

Phoebe

The rank and file voter does not seem particularly persuaded by all this, but one thing it has done is given opportunity to reach people who probably would have dismissed everything you were saying before as fake news. My mission: conversion to reason at a snail's pace. I am happy to report multiple...

Phoebe

It's funny, you know, because I was having a kind of low-grade, rolling, extended panic attack, trying not to respond to it with anything more damaging than drinking a cold soda, and then I read these worrying posts and they so distracted the worry-part of my brain that it forgot about whatever was ...

This also worries me.

🚭🚬🚭 🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭🚬🚭 I remember once when I was in college, I was in a crowded restaurant lobby with a friend, waiting for a table. The lobby was clearly labeled as non-smoking, but my friend had just lit his cigarette and refused to let it go to waste, so he continued smoking it inside. The big du...

Remember when we had that cigar smoking emoji? Or was that the phone? I don't know.
