You can call me Babs. Chances are: I will drag you to karaoke so I can sing Sade. Poorly.
Also and I know this opens a whole can of worms about all the things, but if folks can afford weekly housekeeping services, my advice is: do it.

Married nearly 22 years: be cool about the bowl? Put the bowl in the dishwasher but if the person forgets and puts in sink sometimes, don’t be a dick about it.

Might I recommend jigsaw puzzle advent calendars? Gifted one this year to my puzzle-loving hubs. And it’s been so lovely every evening.

Count me as a militant Calibri is bad, but totally out of the loo, here. genuinely didn’t know calibri groupies existed? I am an old who still tries to slip in Georgia whenever a court will let me, hoping to convince the font dictators to adopt it.

Not sure if this is a consequence of what I wd describe as very frank sex ed starting in 4th grade in our school system with open discussions about feelings, the physicality of puberty, & internet safety the teens I interact w/ seem to have reasonably well adjusted ideas about sex & porn?

I don’t pretend that I’m not a mom to teen that is happy not think about kiddo, peers , & porn, but have a general observation: while the mid-age teens I’m around are into raciness, porn comes off as really weird & uncomfortable to them & I believe them when they talk about it that way???

My former chief was still writing her briefs by hand on legal pads until she retired in 2016. She is not yet 70. I’m well-trained in holding out against tech.

I am not kidding when I say that I genuinely didn’t know you could really cook rice without a rice cooker until I went to college.
Everyone I knew growing up had at least 3 rice cookers and I guess I assumed moros/congri was magic.

Cuban, here. For all holidays falling on a day ending in “y” (except Good Friday when it’s frituras de bacalao) it’s lechon. Tho on Thanksgiving at least two turkeys get added to the mix— American-style and fricassee.

Angela Davis = high profile? Abolition doesn’t presume no need for restorative justice b/w victims & offenders or ever restricting freedom. But what policy work results in a society where we don’t commit mass violence against ourselves. We don’t have to live with thousands of women raped every day.

I have it on authority that there was a large increase in requesting telework this week because folks can’t afford to fuel up their cars.

Me and the hubs are the little old couple (in our 40’s) who drink their coffee to the local morning news. Hubs is obsessed with sending photos of pup to get him on tv every week for the “show us your cute dogs” segments.

I.e. Digesting transcripts with page citations wd be a huge time reducer. But I just sought a paid service for this & it can only handle single witness depositions. I need trial transcripts, motions hearings, etc. without citations, summaries are unhelpful.

My biggest frustration is that the tasks that would make it very useful to me it cannot do for even an extra cost. And it seems that the development is all of tasks that aren’t helpful (at least for my needs) Summaries cannot replace my need to read the source material myself. 1/2

Never a day goes by we aren’t forced to witness how boring these dorks are. All the money in the world and just so mind-numbingly boring. It’s my pettiest beef with super wealth.
