Re-upping this slightly spicy marshmallow
I would totally eat macaroni and cheese as a main/meal, and think that probably shows my Virginia roots. Of course, I'm talking about the real thing, not Kraft or whatnot. Something where you make the white sauce and stir in hand grated cheddar... Mmmm, cheese sauce.
Today I learned some of you see mac 'n cheese as a main dish rather than a side dish.
I am both confused and mildly concerned.
My experience with mac 'n cheese is feeding it to toddlers who won't eat anything else or to teens who need to be fed before they starve and dinner is 20 minutes away.

This is a long thread I posted last month about people who need to make sure they have a will, even if young and healthy. It's maybe worth revisiting in light of Renee Good's killing and discussion of her son's custody.
tl;dr: If nothing else, please specify guardians for your minor children.

1. Even if you own nothing, please specify a guardian for your child. If you don't, the court will look to parents and siblings first. If multiple people want to be guardian, they might end up in court, which is bad for your child.

But "wrote on X" is a synonym for "screamed into the Nazi bar" in my estimation...
Gov. Tim Walz called the federal response to the shooting “propaganda.”
“I’ve seen the video. Don’t believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice,” Walz wrote on X.

If you need more proof (GOD WHY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU) that ICE is pure evil, they literally murdered a woman named Good.
