Same. White meat is dry and pretty tasteless.

Today, I threw away all of my Spanx.
Clap for me, ladies!

What would happen if the entire military leadership of every branch went on strike and declared that they wouldn't return until Trump is removed from office?

Flying, yeah, but we get owl choir of call and responses all night long at the cabin. I love the sound.

My dog bosses me around. In fact, I'm on my bed now, because she whined and whined until I moved off the couch so she could be with me on the bed. Me, a bully stick, and she's happy.

We went to a sloth refuge while in Costa Rica! They are fascinating.
