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

What did Nivea do?

Thrive to spite them

They had an ad running in the Middle East with the line "White is Purity"

Ugh. Why do people have to suck?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"White is Purity"

That has to be the most inexcusable tone-deaf ad ever. There is just no excuse for that getting in print. It should've been shot down without mercy as soon as it was suggested. How can there be anyone (in the Western world at least) who can't immediately understand what the problem is there? Baffling.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just got back from the second seder, hosted by friends of Gary's dad.(It was a family seder, so there were many people I didn't know. Mr. S charmed them all, I think. People complimented me on my parenting skills. If they only could see a typical afternoon/evening here with me yelling "No!" all the time...)

Our wings are not tired.

with me yelling "No!" all the time...

I remember all the discussion of trying to avoid using that word, but it usually ends up being a favorite, both for parent and child.

So it looks like the Impostor in the White House is throwing Bannon under the bus. I'll take it as a good thing because I don't think Ivanka and Jared are nearly as dangerous.
