If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Aeryn is at Vidcon this weekend with Ethan, so Dylan and I are on our own and he has decided he wants to make beef Wellington tonight. I talked him out of a full size roast and so instead we have two filet mignons (filets mignon?) ready to be wrapped in mushrooms, prosciutto, and puff pastry.

A is over the moon because her cosplay was well received by a gaggle of other teenagers who are fans of the same youtuber she is dressed up as and now they are all besties and have a group chat.

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

But I would drop off a consolation quinoa and kale pilaf if I were closer.

Very sweet offer.

Nerd tribe! What YouTuber?

Hec, insent. Just cause I thought you'd be interested sometime...you don't have to read it right now. Thanks for the tips on SPIKEVAX, Erin. I guess I'm fortunate that most of the folks I'd Emote in front of know how I feel about them, these days.

Our wings are not tired.

So yum!

I have made a cold salad similar to this one more than once to leave on the doorstep of friends

That looks yum too!

Now I'm hungry.

His name is Ranboo and his channel is incomprehensible to me because I am an Internet Old. She is cosplaying his character from Generation Loss which was this three part livestreamed choose your own adventure horror movie.

My MiL came upstairs and said, "I have a huge favor to ask..."

Me: "Uh huh."

MiL: "Can you trim my hair and take a couple inches off?

Me: "No. I can't do that now. Try Supercuts."

Wow, from you, well I'd feel fully rebuffed. But I haven't been coming back like a cold sore, either, of course. Great Clips does mine.

Boundary setting FTW.

I was really close to a flat "No" before I decided to ameliorate it.

Internally it was like, "No! Ewww! No!"
