I don't do much cooking, so this is a really amateur question, but can I use the same skillet with the meat juices left in to saute my onion after I finish browning my meat, or should I wash it out first?

You might want to wipe it if there's a lot, but otherwise yes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No, don't wash in between. I do the onion first and then just add the meat to brown, but I like my onions cooked to disintegration.

I CAN STOP watching the NeutraFace video. I know have a list of improvements that can be made to their costumes (the shorter, non-bearded dude needs his shirt fitted, and he is wearing those low-cut socks, so you can see his ankles!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sophia that is hilarious. But isn't the short pant/sock combo kind of a Thom Browne thing?

Maybe- although these look more like short sock liner sweat socks! I read this article (maybe linked here) that the Thom Browne look can work for anyone, but I am not sure....

You know what's annoying? Work is closed monday. But I don't have it off, per my company. So I have to take vacation. EXCEPT, my company gives us Presidents' Day. Except work is open, so I have to work. I can then float the holiday for later in the calendar year, but not over to next year. So it's a wash, but incredibly stupid they can't get their collective acts together.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my brother and his bf came into the city to join mac and I in the regular post-therapy dinner at Chipotle so it could feel a little like a birthday. My brother is a really good older brother (megan walker can back me up) he had gotten cupcakes and is being extremely generous for a gift in covering moving costs, and had brought in mac's gift to me also (which, of course, he had also bought).
So yay a nice ending to a pretty normal day, but no issues or problems which all I was really wanting out of this birthday. 39 is just a holding pattern year anyway, right?

If it's fatty hamburger, I might pour out a little of the fat, but otherwise I usually brown the meat, leave it in the pan, then add the onions.

I usually brown the meat, leave it in the pan, then add the onions.
I do this with almost everything, sausage, bacon, etc.
I find the quickest way to punch up the flavor of veggie chili is a jar of good salsa.
