Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

They pay me in WOIMS

This Evercrisp is way, WAY too sweet.

Fortunately, when I combined it with some extra sharp cheddar, it fixed that problem.

It’s like being punched in the mouth by a My Little Pony.

Our wings are not tired.

If I recall correctly, peacocks are also obnoxiously noisy

True. My neighbor in Otter Lake has them and they do make a ruckus.

way, WAY too sweet.

Extra sharp cheddar is the appropriate solution here.

Today is Sumi's birthday! I do hope that all is well and that this year brings all good things for you.

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

Happy Sumi day!

Mmm, apple and cheddar sounds great! I have neither, alas. Will try to remember “evercrisp” next time I’m at the store

Happy, Happy Birthday, Sumi!

I am having folks over for another blind apple tasting party today! Sadly I woke up feeling like shit, my muscles all hurt for no reason (why am I apparently fighting myself in my sleep?) so I still need to clean my house and go to the store in the next few hours before people come over. I do have some evercrisp apples—the cosmic crisp and honey crisp were surprise losers at the last taste testing!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I dunno, I feel like this would be a good ad campaign.

In the style of a Skittles ad.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday, Sumi!
