Toast with cashew butter: those popovers sound like something I'd love to have, Hec. Although, really no complaints about the nut butter. Except maybe it's just slightly less good than when this company put out their own nut butter(Which is maybe a pain-- I could see that)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
(((Sheryl)))
(((Sophia))) you definitely do not need to rush to make a decision

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.
My condolences to you, Sophia.
Sheryl, here's hoping the situation can be resolved in a way that's best for you all.
Happy Birthday Vortex!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Way to go Tom!
Erika that sounds rough and exhausting.

Yeah, Go, Scola. It is hard that nothing just simply feels good, anymore. Or, at least not a lot.( I mean, I had fresh cherries today and didn't have feelings to work out with them)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Vortex!
Just kinda muddling through, waiting for more information.
In other news, our dryer stopped drying, so we have purchased a new washer/dryer set.(To be fair, we bought our current set when we moved in, in 2005.)

Our wings are not tired.
Wow, Tom! Pittsburgh isn't exactly flat for all those steps too. So many wonderful things to photograph.
Patience and calm~ma, Sheryl.

Happy birthday, Vortex!
Tom, that sounds like a great way to experience a city.
Sheryl, I hope things resolve in a manner that works for all of you.
That is a conundrum, Sophia. I guess if your mom wouldn’t want you to move to her house and your grandmother would, it sort of balances out. So doing what’s best for you seems reasonable. Of course, deciding what that is could be a whole ‘nother story.
I spent yesterday and today helping my sister and brother in law get their boat ready to go in the water. Lots of buffing and moving things hither and yon. Kinda tiring, but the weather was mostly lovely.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Happy Birthday, Vortex!
Tom, I look forward to (hopefully) some of the Pittsburgh photos showing up on Tumblr.
Jen and -t (and any other secret Midnight Burger listeners), Tim got his brother to start listening, and he's already to season 2.
And I discovered today (first-hand) that norovirus is going around the area. So that sucks. I have been drinking a lot of ginger-flavored beverages (tea, fizzy water, nonalcoholic ginger beer). Hoping it doesn't last very long.
