I gave my daughter a snack of goldfish crackers, the regular cheddar flavor ones, and chocolate milk.
She poured the chocolate milk over the crackers and is eating them like cereal, with evident relish
My child is WEIRD.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Is Matt around? Sounds like he's in worse shape than we are - tornadoes hitting that area.

I'm watching a Frontline story (and backstory on the fuckedupness- let's just say safety was number elevehundred) on foundries. They are McWane owned ones. My brother regularly takes his kids to a science museum/exploratorium in Birmingham called the McWane Center. Same family. Yeash. It appears they've cleaned up. I wonder if the Center is a part of that (it's pretty new-looking- and awesome.)

I just heard the dumbest commentary ever. The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.' That would be awesome in electionese -- a pollster says, "98% of Californians believe someone will win this election."

Especially when for the first time in memory Super Tuesday very well may not decide anything, on either side.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.'
That's just awesome -- I think it might even beat the previous winner, "increasingly, this primary season is coming down to who has the most delegates" (which a dear friend of mine pointed out is an awful lot like saying that the super bowl came down to who got the most points.)

I love that today is Super Fat Tuesday! It makes me feel like I fit right in.

But I think it was done completely unironically. Like I might say, "It's too close to call. I predict someone will win." But they didn't do that.
People make me laugh.
We had pancakes for dinner.
I need to get a copy of a credit report to send to my potential new landlord. Any ideas on how I do that?

My parents have certainly got less patient with each other on the phone over time. But then, that's also just time talking to kids long distance, time to build up intolerance to the quirks (hi dad, you make SO MUCH NOISE.) That article doesn't really argue with my experience.
OTOH, they've also grown much more protective of the other. They bitch but they worry and try to mitigate in ways I haven't been witness to earlier.
Crap, my parents are inching towards old and I don't like it.
