Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I don't think I interviewed this girl for long enough. I was done in a half hour. Does that seem right? It's basically an entry-level job, so I figure there's not that much to ask.

not your mom's socks.

I was thrilled to find a can of aerosole cheese

aerosoles makes cheese? You're eating shoe cheese?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Advice:

I want to change this sentence

This course is designed to teach ....

to something other than "this course is intended to teach...."

It's the first sentence of the syllabus and I can't get it quite right.

I hate doing interviews, and I don't think I necessarily do them very well, so I couldn't say.

Am I the only one who thought msbelle was pledging to call her lawyer an ass once a week? (Which I happen to think is a great plan.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm starting to get scared about the whole fertility thing. But finding a partner? Unpossible.

Damn. I'm so shoe happy that I fucked that one up... aerosol obviously!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Half an hour for an entry level position? Plenty long enough. The only things you need to know are: Can I get along with you? Are they smart enough to pick things up quickly?

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In adopting-but-not-a-child news, our new standard poodle arrives tomorrow. He is 2 and has lived with a crazy dog hoarder all his life. She is 86 and had a mild stroke and the animal rescue people are working with her daughter to place all her dogs while she is in the hospital, so when she gets home she will just have one or two. We met him at the dog adoption fair (where we went just to "look" Ha!) and he has been over and met our dog and cats and all seemed pretty cool. I am excited and worried and hope all goes well. I am trying to get in touch with my inner Cesar Milan, in case she needs a lot of training.
