'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
it might help you come to terms with the Spelling Bee if you know it's a curated set of words, not a dictionary. They keep stuff out on purpose.
Not meara, but I think I knew that. At the very least, I'm always cranky about how many medical terms are left out. And they're terms that (I think) are in more or less common use! Although the Spelling Bee hill I will die on is, always, that "yeet" should be included.
I don't have seltzer on tap but I do have a Sodastream which is basically the same idea and you could all have it in your home should you desire bubbly on tap!
I have the Penguin from Sodastream which is adorable but it's no Seltzer On Tap. It's "pretty easy seltzer as long as I've chilled the water in the bottle and think to fizz it and the machine is accessible."
Timelies all!
The weekend didn't go so well. Mr. S had a meltdown at the fireworks and walked to the local hospital, 1.5 miles away, barefoot.(Gary followed behind) Saturday was ok, though he took a while to settle down for bed. He had another meltdown on the way back to the center when he realized he didn't have the diamond art sets he wanted to take back.(He refused to go into the house and help Gary collect all his stuff,) He ended up refusing to get out of the car when they got to St. Vincent's, and Gary had to call for help from the staff.
This Sunday is Mr. S's birthday. We'll see how things go.

These are also my roadblocks to using my Sodastream Penguin.

My biggest roadblock is "Ooops! Empty CO2 cylinder!"
I abhor lemon in cold water or tea--it tastes like dishwater. I don't really favor it in hot tea. I drink black, green, herbal teas, and I want a tiny bit of Actual Sugar--preferrably Demerara rough cubes. I grew up in the land of Sweet Tea, but no. Fortunately I've always lived where the tap water was reasonably palatable, and I like plain water, especially very cold. We use a Britta filter now and that's usually what I drink unless hot tea. If I want bubbles it's club soda. Coffee and single malt have been retired, and honestly I don't miss them. But that's just me.

I had to go look. It seems "yeet" is a valid Scrabble word, so that is a point in its favor.
It is not in Wordnik (yet).
The OED has:
The only known use of the verb yeet is in the Middle English period (1150—1500).
and
This word is now obsolete. It is only recorded in the Middle English period (1150—1500).
OED is clearly out of touch with the youths.
I also have a sodastream penguin because cute but never actually use it because of all y’all’s reasons and additionally flat water is what I want most of the time I just sometimes like bubbles when I’m feeling fancy but that is not often enough to keep all the supplies reliably supplied
Surprised at the OED being behind the times. That’s not really a reasonable reaction for me to have, probably, but I’m having it
