But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

one was The Ham Yard

That is a goddamn fantastic name.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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

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

I think I know what this is, but I don't know how to describe it. My friend Maria does it. It is almost like she removes herself from her surroundings and is in another place, where she is not having this conversation. It is like the eyes that are the window of the soul become opaque.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think narrowed eyes are more like they see you, they recognize what you're saying and they do NOT approve. The flat eyes strike me as having removed themselves from the whole situation. Either you're going on and on and you've passed your attention span or you're having (or trying to have) an out of body experience.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just saw a MAGA dreidel (shin, hay, gimel, hay)

I'm trying to understand the letter change and what is supposed to mean in Hebrew now and failing. There's no meaning there. Maybe because I'm tired after a somewhat difficult day, but I have no idea what happened there or why.
