You should frame it and hang it on a wall that is easily seen from her perch on the new couch. Fair is fair. 😉🐾❤️
🐾❤️🥳👍
She the one who said, "Well, we're *all* gonna die," right?
No idea what/who that is, so no, you are not. 👍
Well, because I'm an idiot these days, my first thought was, "Wait, how did that tree get barnacles on it?" 😅👍
"Golly!"
"Don, Bubbe..."
Now's a great time to reserve your spot(s) for this wonderfully fun event. Free, open to all, and a great chance to get your astronomy "geek" on. This year's theme is "Auroras," with MANY cool hands-on activities and lots to learn! Join us, won't you? Reservations: planetarium@stcloudstate.edu
I used to make my girl carrot-peanut butter cookies every now and again. She loved 'em! 🐾💕
Oh, suuuuure. When a dog does it, it's "Epic," but when I do it, I get a lifetime ban from the Souper Salad. Soooo typical. 🙄
Ooh very similar to my recipe, though I've never thought to add in the cider vinegar...Will have to try that out! 🤩👍
One of my top 5, for sure!
getyarn.io/yarn-clip/ed... The answer, of course, is onions.
I thought we weren't supposed to trust experts any longer? 🤔
He's a good, hardworking, CLEAN BOY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXyW...
Kell, said in the most extreme Herlihy Boy voice: Please...Let me sleep on your couch. I'll already be up on your couch. Let me sleep on it. Extreme Mr. O'Malley voice: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...LET THE BOY SLEEP ON YOUR COUCH!!! THE DOG WILL LOOK ADORABLE!!! 🐾❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq7D...
The opera guy? The one that descended into Hell? 🤔 Sounds kinda dark for a Teen Titan plot, but I'm here for it...
Nowhere to go but up, then; season's not over!!! 👍
As a heads-up, there's a chance for aurorae tonight...Cloudy skies may prevent us from viewing them, however. 😞 That said, you can always find out "what's up" with aurorae and aurorae forecasts by visiting the NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center: www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/...
September 1, 2019: Hurricane Dorian makes landfall on the Abaco Islands, Bahamas. Dorian was the last Cat 5 Atlantic landfall and the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane in the modern era, tied with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Imagery: UW/CIMSS
Students:
Those arrive first; the main event arrives shortly thereafter - how exciting! 🤩
For now...Patience, patience...
Even if not magical, it's bound to be...wired. 😏
Darby's look says it all: Well, I'll hand it to ya. You certainly *attempted* to keep us off the couch. 🐾❤️
But y'know, all the love that I see in that little guy's face...Makes it worth it in the end. True story.

Can't unsee. Tried to, for sure, but can't.
Y'know, the treats get better in the Fall, too. Apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes...regular potatoes...yum! 🐾♥️
🐾♥️ This is how I'm hearin' him and his rage: youtu.be/joSS3W3rYWY?...
I kind of feel like "immediately give up and go defensive" would be my default if I was brought to that house and I'm not even a firefighter. Fastest "Nope, this person is definitely going to kill me" exit I'd ever (try to) make.
Even with the meddlin' kids?!?!
And scones? And scones? Tea goes well with scones, you know...
Rumor has it she was singing "My Way" to flag him down, too.
Something...about a bear? 🤔
Are those the people that are always trying to sell Lucky Charms?
If it makes you feel better, my profile picture is something like 20 years old. (Most of the hair in it should be grey/white - I should get around to editing it at some point, lol!)
When they were on sale, I got a Hotpoint washer and dryer. They are no-frills but work very, very well.
Not supposed to be, yet he be. And in style, too! 🤩🐾♥️
Just saw an ad for a hair care product and said, "OMG, it's @jortsthecat.bsky.social's 'honk honk HEE honk-honk' song!!!" Then the other person in the room with me looked at me like I had lost what remains of my mind. (For reference, here's the commercial: www.ispot.tv/ad/18Ly/garn...)
👍 If we wanna go Pokemon, we'll go with "Polka-polka...polkachuuuuu!"
Fun fact: That was the original line from "It's a Wonderful Life," but they went with the bell-angel thing because they had all those Christmas props lying about.
Polkae? Polki? Polkasusses?
Calling @bunsenbernerbmd.bsky.social !!!
Thiiiiis. Diff Eq offered a respite after VC. I had the same prof for Calc 1 and Calc 2; he was great, so those courses were manageable. 👍
Took Calc 3 and Diff Eq in the same summer. I don't recommend doing that, either. Survived both (even earned an A in the latter), but it was not a fun way to spend a summer. By the time Diff Eq's final exam came around, my mind was absolute mush. 😅

But is it at least cage-free? 🥺
Oof. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ViG...
My former Associate Dean has TWO Leonbergers and they are GLORIOUS!!! 🤩🐾❤️
"Rubs or potato-based treatos. Your choice, human!" 🐾❤️
Imagine totally dying but then coming back to tell this one last anecdote you just *had* to get off your chest...🙄
Yes, but instead of yards, it will be a game of inches until further notice, because of rising costs/tariffs.
Educators and students of math stuff:
🤢🤮
(This, too, was sarcasm. All animals are worthy of having notable lists of awesomeness, pawsomeness, finsomeness, legsomeness, windsomeness, scalesomeness, etc.)
I mean...😅😏😉
It "may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness," but will satisfy particular standards for pawesomeness! 🐾♥️
Should be mandatory reading for all:
Wishing you a speedy recovery! 👍
I live to serve. Or something.
LOL! I know JUST the scene you reference: youtube.com/watch?v=XzuC8B46N_w&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD
🤩 The very best day, for all involved (also, they're SO pretty!) 🐾♥️
Fun fact: Those were to the original lyrics to "Because I Got High."
She is both the master and mistress of epic side-eye. 🤩😅🐾♥️
Poor thing. I hope you gave in to her deman- er, ah, I mean, her request. 🐾♥️
(Dear reader: In case the smirking emoji did not convey it, that was sarcasm. The site works just fine on a laptop. I assume that's just a default message that everyone sees when accessing it.)
Now the WPC is screen-size shaming me for trying to visit their Probabilistic Precipitation Portal while I'm literally on my laptop? Damn, that's cold. 😏
Nice! Yeah, mine are out for the week, so that's all good. Away I go! 👍
Right on. 👍
How early in the day is too early to use an electric chainsaw when you know your nearest neighbors are out of town? 🤔
Happy birthday; thank you for all the laughs throughout the years! 🥳
And I love that, even though I knew it was coming, I *still* jumped at Ben Gardner's head!!! 😅👍
It really is! And to see it on the big screen...nothing like it!
"You never got off the runway...You were the sole survivor of a 35-minute delay!" 😅👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbpl...
Twenty years ago today, Hurricane Katrina (2005) made landfall in Louisiana. Four years ago today, Hurricane Ida (2021) made landfall in Louisiana. This animation shows Katrina on the left and Ida on the right over the same 24-hour period using NOAA Merged IR (left) and NOAA ABI Band 13 (right).
"Optimistic for a very specific future event"?
I had a pass to go see a movie again, so I went to see "Jaws" for the first time on the big screen. It did not disappoint! 🦈 It led to many not-so-great sequels, but it was a real treat to see it in a theater. 👍
Ohhhhh, @bruceshark.bsky.social...I just saw you on the big screen for the FIRST time today! While I can never forgive what you did to poor Pipit, those guys Hooper, Brody, and Quint did you dirty. You were magnificent - no one wears barrels (three!) better! 🤩👍🦈
Quite simple, really:
I am envisioning this meme with a mother and offspring kidney, with "mines" instead of "crab rangoon" and I cannot stop laughing. 😅👍 (It's been a very long day.)
Students:
Gonna write me a children's story about the unused spare kidneys, walking around. Roamin' free, undeterred in their wandering. One of them might have a hat. Dunno.
The revolution's gonna be led with a new chant: "The people, untidied, will never be defeated!"
😬
Flowery fiesta for a furry fella! 🤩🐾♥️
@gailsimone.bsky.social deserves treats, too!
The powerhouse of the cell? *That* mitochondria?
See? I KNEW it! Wedge!
Wedge.
