No, it’s just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that’s not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I’m just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I’m not sure why.

I’ve always loved that quote. Also this beast:

And we get a little further from perfection
Each year on the road
I think that’s called ‘character’; I think that’s
Just the way it goes
But it’s better to be dusty than polished like some
Store window mannequin
Won’t you touch me where I’m rusty
Let me stain your hands

But doesn’t the starter take like 3 weeks?

It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I’ll grant it’s messy but it’s pretty easy!

Dough recipe

Pizza sauce recipe

Pizza stone

Pizza peel

1. Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
2. While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
3. Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
5. Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky’s the limit really
6. Enjoy!

Hey fellow Philadelphian! I’m originally from New Jersey but have lived in and around Philly since the late '90s.

I like the Citizen of Earth concept too. We’re all human and borders are just lines on a map!

A continuous passive motion machine.

I had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair a cartilage tear and shave down some bone overgrowth. For 3 weeks after surgery, I had to put my leg in this machine for an hour four times a day. It slowly bends and straightens your leg, which is supposed to help stave off scar tissue formation inside the hip. And it was rough. I needed my husband’s help to get strapped into the thing, I could never find a comfortable way to position my leg, the thing was noisy as hell so I couldn’t nap while I was using it, and I was lying flat on my back so it was hard to read a book or watch a show without hurting my neck. It sucked and I was so glad when I was cleared to stop using it.

When I was a young idiot, I really thought Clonaid was gonna be a thing. I guess I thought it was plausible because I grew up reading a fuckton of scifi and Dolly the Sheep had been born a couple years prior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m so sorry for your loss :'(

I thought it was Dead Aunt Sally?

This is so cute

Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It’s awful. I never squeeze a teabag!

Or as my husband’s Southern-ass grandma called it, the “war of northern agression” 🙄

1. Eyesight is getting worse. It’s hard to read in dim light, and driving at night can be rough.
2. Takes my body longer to recuperate from anything that it doesn’t like - injuries, alcohol, upset stomach.
3. Age spots. I thought they were just freckles but my dermatologist says they’re age spots. I’m only 43!

Aging is funny, because there’s always someone who thinks you’re ancient, and there’s always someone who thinks you’re still super young. I was at a bar a couple weeks ago, and these two dudes were complaining about how old they were getting… so I asked, turns out they were the ripe old age of twenty-eight. Which made me laugh a little, because 28 is still pretty young. And when I told them I was 43 they couldn’t believe it. I guess in my twenties I didn’t have an accurate idea of what people in their forties looked like either. Conversely when I made some comment to my parents about being middle-aged, they laughed at me because “you’re in your forties, you’re not middle-aged!”. So it’s all relative. My dad said something that stuck with me: you may feel like you’re getting older, but when you’re my age (he’s 75) you’ll realize how young you still were, and how much energy you had. And that’s helped me be aware that even though there are some aspects of aging that I really hate, there are plenty of good healthy years left.

I didn’t know you could botox that!
