I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If I did work from home I would roast some pork belly for lunch. Or make an omelet.

I don't think I can spin "I couldn't figure out what to make for lunch" into a legitimate reason to work from home tomorrow though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

To be fair, I had roasted figs with goat cheese one day for lunch last week.

Today it was cottage cheese with blueberries and...maybe turkey rolled up with swiss cheese?

t edit Man, pork belly sounds good. Why am I so hungry at midnight?

Well, I finally got a good reason to stop following a particularly New Agey whoo-whoo person on Facebook. In addition to perky and sharing of inspirational quotes, she thinks comparisons of Hilary Clinton and Hitler are hysterical. Buh-bye!

It opens the kimono.

Oh jeez please don't. I know you were just kidding, but HTG just seeing it makes me tense up. I don't call senior people on their language but this is one I don't let pass.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Freakish discovery of the day: my sister told me last night that when she met her now-husband, she was then dating a guy whose father was Philip Michael Thomas, from Miami Vice. My sister dated the son of Tubbs. (I never met him, but my brothers did, and mocked him mercilessly.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I now have my father's power of attorney. (Thanks to some shenanigans with one of my mother's retirement accounts.) I'm guessing there's nothing too terribly nefarious I can get up to with it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does your dad own a chain of supermarkets?

You know, I didn't want to tell anyone this, but.... All these years I've been masquerading as Jesse H, when ACTUALLY I am Jesse H. Demoulas!

People who don't follow New England news are totally mystified. The rest of us are dying of laughter.

You guys, is there anything less fun than filling out a mortgage application? Dental work, I guess.

Jesse H Christ? (Sorry, been watching too much Outlander)

The new neighbors (house in front of me has a basement apartment) have a dog, who barks most of the day. Not constantly, but in spurts--bark bark bark, pause, hear something else new, bark bark bark, pause, hear other dog barking back, bark some more..is there anything they cando to help this or should I not even bother to say anything?
