My sister's friend once tried to recruit me to sell a nutritional shake. She's apparently made a ton of money selling it -- like, she quit her actual job so that she could stay home with her kids and sell this stuff, and she says she's making more money than she did before -- but I am definitely not ever going to make money selling a nutritional shake. (Especially not the way she does it, posting exercise selfies and medals from running races and showing off how great her abs look after four kids.)

Let me guess - Shakeology?

My kinda-sorta SiL is really into those Thrive shakes and vitamin patches. I don't think she's gone down the path of selling them, but she certainly evangelizes about them. And she's usually good about science, so I don't get why she has this blind spot about vitamin stickers being Super Effective.

There were more than 300 people at the memorial service. I am utterly wiped. Someone wake me up around Thanksgiving?

Maria hit Dominica as a cat 5. Think flattened worse than Barbuda.

Consuela, may you get enough of the downtime you need.
