We've searched our show notes and can't find a match.

Thinking about how, well into adulthood, I thought that "Baba O'Riley" was called "Teenage Wasteland," and someone made fun of me for not knowing the actual title of the song, but like, have you HEARD it? Does it SOUND like it should be called "Baba O'Riley?????"

My favorite hair cream was discontinued WHY DOES THE LORT LET BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PPL?
(I have major skin allergies, so it's not like I can just go out and try something new without researching the ingredients first.)

Last night's non-Thanksgiving, where we had no guests and I only made a turkey breast for the four of us, was such a success that the youngest wants to do it again next year.

Been a while since I drunk posted 🥃, so here you go. You are all perfect, beautiful people who are worthy of love. If anyone gives you a hard time at Thanksgiving tomorrow, just say, “I bet you’d be prettier if you smiled.”

Now that I've got it into my head, I think we really need to convince Ozgood Perkins to make the film version of @sarahgailey.bsky.social 's "Just Like Home."

Ozgood Perkins directing a film adaptation of anything by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social or Sarah Gailey’s “Just Like Home.”
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I survived my Worst Day of the Year yesterday, which is the day after we all get our Covid vaxes. Body aches, chills, mild fever, fatigue. But this year was less horrible than previous years, and 17YO even came out of his gaming hole to watch Star Wars with me on the couch. It's a post-vax miracle!

I just unloaded a HUGE burden from my life: I canceled Thanksgiving.
I've hosted for 27 years now and I'm tired. 2025 has been rough (for all of us) and I can't summon the energy for all that prep, cooking, hosting, and cleaning.
