I like raisins in things, but only if I know they’re raisins to start. Not if I think they’re chocolate and then am disappointed.

I know a number of therapists who are working remotely who’ve gotten vaccinated. Some of them were like “should I???” And one said her boss encouraged them to. At this point I don’t much care who is getting it, just get it to people already!! There was some thing about mass vaccination centers being set up here by the state and they were aiming to do 500 vaccinations a day. I was like are you kidding? That’s barely “mass” at all!

Puppy was up all night long. Tried taking him out a few times, no dice. He wanted food at 3am. Now he’s sleeping. Got overnight delivery of a donut neck pillow cone which he seems ok with. I’m exhausted but awake. Getting sedative from the vet later. The woman I got him from brought me some last night (so kind!) but it didn’t seem to help a ton.

I was 17 when I arrived at college and turned 18 soon after, but it def would’ve been NBD if I had waited a year (I wanted OUT of the house but in my life a gap year would’ve just meant working for a year and living at home, so no). The biggest suck was those even younger than me, who didn’t turn 21 until even later

Y'all can have my share of all the oatmeal, AND all the raisins.

No vaccinations for me until I am done with chemo and my immune system has had some time to recover. Probably not until early April, at best.

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

Yes, this. Oatmeal raisin is a delicious and valid flavor combo, but NOT when I have put a cookie into my mouth thinking it was chocolate chip.

Anyone else caught up in the massive Verizon internet outage on the East Coast? It's making my work day SO MUCH FUN.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I like raisins fine in bread and cereal, but not in cookies. I guess the chewiness doesn't work for me in the cookie format.

Our wings are not tired.

I heard about the massive East Coast outage, but apparently we are not included here. No fun for those included.

Poor puppo. Skinner has the donut collar and it works pretty well, except his nose is so long that he is still able to lick/chew places he shouldn't. I just give him Benadryl when I want to calm him down.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have chocolate chip cookies for later. It was very easy to tell which was which so I knew I was starting with the oatmeal raisin.

Oh no on the internet outage!

Poor pupper

I started college at 17 and waiting would probably have been better for me but another year at home would not have been, so, yeah, dunno.

Similar to Emmett and Matilda who are both September babies. So he arrived on campus at age 17 and that was (in retrospect) too early for him.

SAME

I like raisins in many things but yes, you need to know they're there.

Raisin bran = good
raisins in tajine = great
raisins in what appear to be chocolate chip cookies = work of the Devil

Damn you all, now I want oatmeal cookies.


JenP - Jan 26, 2021 12:06:55 pm PST #2763 of 30000

I want oatmeal cookies, funnel cake, chocolate chip cookies, and... kind of Raisin Bran, too.
