oh ffs!
what did the Modi and Elon supporter do this time?
good thread.
Tree makes for a great scratching post
letting the air out but keeping the doggos in?
salad with kalamata olives and cranberries is not a good combination...
my coworkers seem to have a pathological aversion to wiping the sink counter after they're done using it. i mean, you've got the paper towel in your hand. how hard is it to just wipe the area around the sink??? also, some seem to not understand what is recycling and what isn't...
The whole piece is terrific but the concluding paragraphs really nail it
did you replace your batteries?
A year ago today, was running around Scotland. Wish i was there now.
Republicans: Fear of Trump > Justice for survivors

i *deserve* it. *they* don't.
it would be really nice if the app told you you had new messages in the messages tab when you're in the app. i mean i hate those red dots, but you know, it's good to know that message i've been waiting for has been sitting there for 11 days...
i made ginger, cardamom apricot and ginger, cardamom, vanilla apricot jams this year. so good!
good on ya Lucy!
Peppermint Petty nit understanding how things work
still trying to get a routine at the new barn, but i'm absolutely loving that i can get to the barn and back on a fully charged battery!
glad you're on the mend!
i could understand co-tee-ja...
ah ok. i was like why would people fly thru sacramento for burning man...
what airport are you at?
they didn't really taste all that a couple years ago. this year's isn't quite ripe yet, so no idea.
Of course the white peach tree that i don’t really like and haven’t cared for at all is producing the largest freaking peaches. The squirrels and birds are having fun knocking them off the tree, though.
yeah, i just stopped and picked up a couple powerball and mega millions tickets. i'm sure i'll have just wasted my money, but a girl can dream...
bought a used kerrits rain jacket from ebay. got delivered today. in the pockets, there's a wadded up tissue and a supplement scoop. yup. definitely a horsegirl's jacket. #eqbsky
years ago when i lived in austin and had lots of time and little money, i made dog treats to sell to my co-workers. and i didn't have a dog...
i was going to get a powerball ticket but forgot and now today's tickets are done. oh well. i probably saved myself $2.
Um-beyonce
no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird
i believe in karma. it's just very annoying that she's a slow bitch with her own timetable.
@susykaym.bsky.social this reminds me of Dana and your tree
love all these gardening hacks where they're all clipped lawn grass makes great mulch! some of us live in a place where it only rains 3 months out of the year and we don't do lawns. or have a mower for that matter...
i love the books. that's on netflix?
also because the passenger trains use the same tracks as the commercial trains, if there's a breakdown, you're stuck for hours.
Shouldn’t have fed him.
80° at 11am. Forecasted high is 91°. A/C turned on for the first time in over a year.
Yup
every day for the last few days, i walk into my bathroom and see 1 or 2 ants. they aren't walking a trail or anything, just kind of wandering around in the small space between door, toilet and sink. no idea where they came from. i should get some bait, i guess.
my ponies have become codependent nightmares. just trying to get one out to turnout is stress and screaming. they've never been this bad. no idea what the deal is. bought a portable pemf thing. supposed to help with anxiety, stress and all that. hope it works.
but what if you add 4 bottles of champers?
i still think about the steamed mussels from Jitlada in Thaitown...
made the viral trader joe's lobster bisque pasta and added frozen peas. very yum. would make again.
wha???
I somehow have an extra
i used to make this for holiday pot lucks all the time. tastes great. the only thing is i never got it to work properly at the stated 275ºF in any gas oven. 350ºF works for me. gumbopages.com/food/dessert...
Ignored the garden this week. Squash went wild again. My poor peppers.
i definitely prefer this one www.zillow.com/homedetails/...
Thats a good sized strawberry
there was post on insta about a guy who couldn't figure out why his weiner was burning after he went to pee. wife's laughing. lesson is wash your hands you filthy animal!
regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap
The interior is definitely better than I expected based on the exterior but um…
Maybe say free instead of ok?
I don’t fill up the truck often but when i do, it’s always eeeeek!

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, and the District of Columbia your state/local legislators can fix this and you should badger them until they do.
lolz
new barn and having to learn new traffic patterns. sigh. why is there at least one school campus for every level of grade school on this road that doesn't have an alternate route options???
i minored in religion and took a few philosophy courses - the things that make you able to think outside the box, as they say.
was talking with someone who was thinking of making the switch from QA eng to proj mgmt. i don't have formal pm training. i come from a finance background, but i know how to problem solve and deal with schedules. the hardest part of my job is how to speak each dev's language.
NYC/NJ with a bit of TX mixed in. meow
moved ponies to new barn. slipped on the trailer ramp while loading second horse. heard the new knee crackle. not hurting that much. it's been a day moving all the horse things. maybe the crackle is some of the scar tissue getting broken up. one can hope...
I keep checking pamf to see if they’ve opened up covid vax scheduling.
Yes, but it doesn’t matter. Even if we get a competent and trustworthy government again for some period, everyone should know that it can’t last unless structural and constitutional reforms are made. The fascists are among us and unless they are structurally disempowered, they’ll be back.
In Japanese, -chan is a suffix added to names as a term of endearment, usually little children
This thread but especially this
and I thought my saddle collection cost a lot...
woohoo! i finally found the kerrits rain jacket in a size that'll fit me to replace the same jacket that i have that's currently 3 sizes too big. the jacket was a size too big when i bought it. it was pandemic. enough said.
why am i having the hardest time remembering today is wednesday, not thursday???!!!
it's all just so stupid
Tampon-chan made me laugh
realized the glue i just started using for one of my horse's glue on shoes is from the UK. the distributor is in the US and while I'm sure they have stock on hand, I'm buying a few months worth just in case.
Yesterday’s funky clouds
obesity being useful for a change
Obesity is finally good for something
that's annoying
apparently some people think when you say hyphen, they think it's an apostrophe ('). went to get my oil changed. they couldn't fine me in their system. yeah, guy entered my last name wrong. so the hyphen is with the truck and the apostrophe is with the volvo. if changing names weren't such a pita...
do you have a chef'store (that apostrophe just grates on my nerves) near you? they carry 50lb bags of carrots
the description is gold! "The Subaru is included." probably because it doesn't start www.zillow.com/homedetails/...
grade schools started 2 or 3 weeks ago in my area. i grew up in nyc/n new jersey and school didn't start until the tues after labor day. talking w someone who has grade school kids, she said the rationale is so that the term ended at winter break. i guess that makes sense, but it still seems wrong.
with the people on his team? you'll be lucky if they show up at all.
seriously, who can retire in this economy...
ooof! someone put on waaaaay too much scent this morning.
definitely not a good day/week/month
got some serious fatty carrots at the farmers market on sunday. yes, organic and fancy smancy but $3/lb is really rough.
pasta special was supposed to be seafood fettucine. they hadn't been serving dinner for even an hour at that point. you'd think they'd get the pasta correct.
Not fettuccine
made a batch a few weeks ago that ended up being about 20oz. still have more basil in the garden that needs to be harvested.
i find it amusing that a post from the nhl is how i found out about the t&t engagement
got a package of potato knishes at costco last week. they are surprisingly not a heavy lump like the street cart knishes were/are. haven't had one of those in about 30 years. texture is definitely more yonah schimmel. flavor is pretty good. would buy again.
you know she doesn't do anything without a payout involved. same with the rest of that family.
now if my body would stop being weird but i'm guessing the riding will just make it worse...
moving my horses to a new boarding facility on Thursday and losing my trainer in the process. i guess now *i* have to start riding my horse again...
wrote return to sender on mine and put it in the mailbox. they can deal with disposing of it.
wrote return to sender and put it in the mailbox.
it's hot out and the pool looked really refreshing!
well, i guess i'll be saving money by not being able to buy horse stuff from overseas...
nobody and i mean nobody wants made from scratch ketchup
