I get the car warranty and the social security ones all the time (at least, if I pick up, which I usually do because I also get work calls)

Dinner is becoming a major ordeal and a big clusterfuck. The airfryer is kind of dead.. it still works but the latch that keeps the basket and the handle together is broken and I didn't realize that until I started cooking so I'm having to very carefully juggle taking it out. And since I picked a recipe for a larger air fryer I'm having to do things in batches.. it's supposed to be boneless country ribs and I bought bone in by mistake so I'm hoping it will cook right.

And then I mentioned making stuffed peppers as a side (vegetarian ones) but decided not to since M wanted to make baked potatoes and corn and I didn't want to try and juggle something else but I ended up makign it anyway.And I was trying to flip between 2 recipes on my phone and mis read the pepper one.

First it was way to damn complicated and required using a saucepan, stock pot, and a skillet and an insert for the skillet to put the peppers on to steam. But I used half the amount of rice by accident so it's very very very cheesy. I have no idea if it will taste good. I decided the peppers were cooked enough, the rice is cooked so I just wiped out the skillet I sauted onions in and then filled the peppers, put a lid on it and let the residual heat do any more cooking.

Its supposed to be 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of grated cheese. But I accidenntlly did 1/2 cup of uncooked rice.

I have to answer my cell since calls to my work number are forwarded. On my landline (yes, I still have one) I can ignore all but my parents and the building com/buzzer system.

I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the caller, but I've been getting a lot more calls (that I don't answer).

I mean it's obviously the political season.

That's awesome.

Nice to see you, Nilly! Have a blessed holiday.

Steph, I hadn't considered it but since you said it, it seems like a good idea.

Lots of ~ma for B, Laura.

Verizon sent me a text that they were doing something about spam calls and also iPhones are doing something but I didn't really pay attention. I don't seem to be getting many, or seeing them anyway. I do theoretically still have a landline but I'm not sure the phone is plugged in...hasn't rung in a long time...

I don't think I am ready to process that xkcd

My kids know about the buffistas and have free use of the internet but also find their parents deeply boring, as is normal for teenagers.
