reminded of this running gag in our family: someone would go papapaPAAAAA ( intro to Beethoven's 5th ), take a dramatic pause
and then proudly say :

Chopin

Is it a good gag?
No.
Did it have us in stitches every single time?
Yes.
Still does.
Tell me your family running gag, would you?
2/2

They are very pretty though. I love when aesthetics and functionality don't bite eachother, as we say in The Netherlands.

See, that's what I mean. Awesome.

I dont know!!!
I've not heard back from them, so I'm guessing they're very busy trying to figure everything out. ( dealing with a child who is on the spectrum is hard at the best of times)

I remember you sending a photo from Joe and his girlfriend finishing uni (together?) .It absolutely feels like yesterday. And now...
Its so silly, I mean we never met, but I feel genuine joy witnessing these milestones. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
And you can be very proud of your sons. X

... and somehow or other, I don't know how, I've never seen this before. Said to be a silk cruciform cushion from the Sancta Sanctorum, 8th – early 9th Cent. Wow.

BUY ME SOMETHIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

Bravo.

I absolutely hate that whole ' that's what they voted for' discourse. Sure, some people are racists, but I think quite a few people are just desperate and feel betrayed by traditional politics.
Is it wise to vote extreme right? no.
But its dumber to mock people who do because it stops dialogue.

Please please pleaeaearaeaeaeaeaearrrsee buy me something. Anything. Pleaeaearrrrrseeee

What??? He graduated already??? !!
