See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hec, Scoma's is still open and does a good cioppino to go, if you decide you need it.

This is extremely useful information!

move out and draw fire

I don't know this phrase. What does it mean?

It means making a face that looks like: -.-

Unimpressed and kind of blaming the person for doing the thing.

I just saw a MAGA dreidel (shin, hay, gimel, hay) and have decided to hide under a chair for the rest of the year.

sj, one was The Ham Yard and I don't remember the other - it was a hotel restaurant in SoHo. Both were good and not the 400-pound prix fixe that most of the places open on Xmas offer.

I feel you on Kaiser docs, juliana. I feel like their whole system limits dr-patient interaction to my detriment. But they have all my records, when I had different insurance and a different doctor my PCP had trouble finding out what happened at my ER visits, so that wasn't good either.

Aw, Chris Evans and bagels, what a happy thought!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

one was The Ham Yard

That is a goddamn fantastic name.

I'd love to see Chris Evans at my local bagel place. I'd settle for being able to eat a bagel there.

Say, are there any parents or caregivers of toddlers, or otherwise toddler-adjacent people, who could recommend some books for a soon-to-be 2 year old, please? She loves music, stuffing her pockets with shiny rocks, and elephants.

Emmett was very fond of Calef Brown's books at that age: [link]

I think we had Dutch Sneakers and Polka Bats. Super fun!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Unimpressed and kind of blaming the person for doing the thing.

Hmmm. So, not a flat expression or blank face.

How similar to or different from "narrowed eyes"?

I'm trying to make feel what my expression does when I am projecting what Volans said and I don't think my eyes narrow. Maybe a little. I think if I did it at you you would know, dcp? But how it is different from my normal face I would be hard pressed to say. It's almost like blank and blanker
