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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, when I look at the post from the app, U see the photo, but when I'm in Safari and I go to my bookmark of Good Stuff, it's just the link.

Thanks -- I thought that was the case. I wonder how many people go straight to the page vs. looking on their dashboard. I guess I could try a different theme and see what happens.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, another horrible terror attack in France. Dozens dead when a truck drives purposefully into a crowd.

I feel like I'm on a Feel Bad Carousel: Terrorist attack, Police Kill Another Black Person, Rape Culture, Gross Political Bullshit, Assault rifle massacre, and back around again in a circle.

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

Me too, Hec. Very sad.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Me too, Hec. With a side of Obama was despicable at the Dallas Memorial, But GWB must have dementia for Dancing, and If Only the Protesters in Rochester Didn't Block the Roads, Black Reporters Wouldn't Have Been Handcuffed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm avoiding the news tonight because I have to be able to function this weekend, but I'm feeling the same way.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to stop the conversation here.

I got a lovely visit from my blissfully retired former boss and after a conversation with our new (4 days!) archive scientist, I've decided to go all mama bear on her and make sure she can access all the resources Baltimore has to offer. I really liked her in the interviews, and not just professionally, and so far the impression is sticking. A bit younger than me, but what new hire isn't these days? I feel like I have an opportunity to pass something on.

Lisa, I'm hitting you & Ellen up, she's moving to your hood.

More cooking adventures: I did not realize that balsamic vinegar would counter some of the acidity of tomato sauce, I just put it in hoping to add another flavor dimension. But I like this a whole lot.

Carrots will help with acidity too.

I went to trivia with a friend, so that was fun. Though still kicking ourselves we didn't do better on the musicals round (it was "list 8/10 of the longest running musicals on Broadway" we only got 4. "O Calcutta"?!? But I forgot Fantasicks was off Broadway. And we didn't realize wicked had been around that long. And utterly forgot Chorus Line and Chicago. Apparently Rent is 11th??)

And then saw my ex on Tinder. Grr. Apparently "I'm so in love with this other girl and need to be monogamous with her even though I've been insisting I don't do monogamy" lasted for two months, because she unfriended me on FB but I can still see that she's no longer "in a relationship". HAH.
