Lovely! Family Dollar/Dollar General regularly overcharges (in some locations, up to 76%) being the price tag on the shelf. And when the company gets caught, they just pay the fines because it’s cheaper.
I hope they do jail time for this.

I have this theory that the Q-tip company winkingly tells us not to be driving their product into our ears, and we the consumer responds with a sigh and an “Okay, Dad!” before doing the one thing Q-tips were intended for.
Which is driving them into our ears.

In 1949, the Mr. Magoo character was created.
Six years later, this album was released.
This is a terrible record.

Got my eighth or ninth jury summons this weekend, and the first thing everyone does when I tell them is try to offer advice on how to get out of it.
No thanks! It’s our civic duty to participate in our system of law!
And they always turn me away within seconds of my arrival, anyhow. 😓

Trying to cull 10% of my record collection for space considerations, but each time I play a platter “one last time,” I decide to keep it.
Looks like Paul Hardcastle gets to stay!

Answered the door, and Billy Joel’s “My Life” came on the Sirius XM on the TV.
And the last paused, looked at my partner and me, and said, “You gotta be kidding.”
We think it was a religious lady. 😂

These patterns are probably the most basic I’ve seen in amigurumi in fifteen years. All this took three hours! Tomorrow I’ll sew the parts on and make some eyes, and we’ll have a new friend!

True story — I’m making a library book display in December, and my theme is about crocheting. So I crocheted this book cover to display next to the book from which the pattern was adapted!
(I used a different color yarn and made my case larger than the pattern called!)

When I was growing up, my hometown attempted to attract tourists by adding several police cars — that were once seen on the “Robocop” TV series.
(No, not the film franchise; the syndicate television show.)
They were painted to look exactly like the rest of the squad, so you couldn’t really tell.

I’m pretty stoked about this book, too! There’s an axolotl in here that’s just too perfect! I’ve already got the materials and (hopefully!) enough of the perfect yarn!

It fits a standard-sized novel (or one hardback copy of Prince Harry’s “Spare”)!
Now I need to procure an appropriate button!

I’ve crafted a solution! I’ll continue with this black yarn I had on hand, then “stripe” it with a mottled off-white or something as a flap and a button to fasten it shut! 😊
I’ve got stray yarn fuzz stuck to my tongue, though. Or perhaps it’s cat hair. I’m gross like that.

I hate going out to eat.
I hate the seats, I hate the noise, I hate the other diners, I hate people laughing and talking with their mouths full, I hate how long everything takes, I hate the menu selection, I usually hate the food, I especially hate the expense, and I hate having to choose a place.

In the ’90s, as a teen, I worked a telemarketing job. One girl I’d worked with a few times was so kind, treating me as if she’d known me her whole life!
I’m pretty sure she was the first trans person I’d ever known.
I’m grateful to have known her, even if it was just for a few weeks 30 years ago. 💕

Remember in 1990, when we heard he’d bought something like 500,000 copies of his own (ghostwritten) book to boost sales, but he swore he didn’t, and we thought the claim was too ludicrous to have merit anyway?
Trump's Book Can't Survive at the Top in Sales
Donald Trump's new book, "Surviving at the Top," has toppled from the New York Times' best-seller list after just seven weeks.

Apparently my partner’s family is in town doing touristy stuff, and they want us to meet up for lunch so they can ask me with their mouths full about my 401K investments.
“Uhh… I think I ran a 5K once…”

There's something on tv — something I’ve never seen before.
It's been there for awhile now and I think I'm beginning to understand what it wants.
