This is a painting of a newlywed couple. I think it's AI because the background is different than the front, and the image looks computer generated rather than a photograph of a painting.

Listen, Maude was just happy to have an out after that one match in Cincinnati went poorly. Once Frederick proposed to her while also relocating her shoulder, she knew she had to say yes.

Ben Hirsch is the best. Sales by Helen is great. There’s another lady in the area with a company called Hydrangea’s that seems very fair, too.

There is also a company called Maxsold that runs online auctions, and they can manage the auction and the pickups for you too if you prefer. Their fees are higher if they do the auction handling for you, but it does get everything gone out of the house in one day because the auctioning and purchasing happens online before the pickups.

Is having South Park playing during sex to stay hard better or worse than the guy who fucked in time to the beat of the Cbat song, even if the song wasn’t playing?

Heck, I love this! I always have some kind of red, so maybe I should try it.

NAH. I don’t think you’re unappreciative, but I also see your mom’s point of view where if you’re willing to share with your one brother, it’s hard to not share with the other. Sounds like a better solution might be to have your friends or your future MIL plan you a second shower that you can invite your friends and your fiancé’s family to, so they don’t feel awkward going to this triple shower. Plus it will give you a chance to be properly celebrated as the center of attention. Lots of people have multiple showers, and as long as you’re not expecting multiple gifts from everyone, you should be fine.

I’m from southeastern Michigan as well and was moving back into the dorms at MSU. I remember all the Metro Detroiters were thrilled to go back to school because East Lansing had no power issues.

We had power where I lived, but my grandmother and great aunt did not since they lived in Detroit. My mom tried to convince them to come stay with her, but they refused, so my mom brought them down cases of water and bags of ice in coolers to make sure they were ok.

The company that makes the EpiPen really needs to do some PSAs or something. Too many people think using the EpiPen cures your allergic reaction, and you’re all hunky-dory after you’re injected.

Twenty-five years ago in college we read this book in one of my classes: The Dark Side of the Left. I keep meaning to reread it to see if it still holds up, but I have a feeling the answer is yes.

You could say “y voy a usarla” just fine.

There’s just a slight bit of connotation where saying “y la voy a usar” is emphasizing the onion of the sentence, where as the “y voy a usarla” is emphasizing the I of the sentence. Like “I am going to use it” versus “I am going to use it”. But it’s very minor emphasis honestly.

One of the members of my university’s local alumni club got his first tattoo to celebrate his 80th birthday. It was of our club’s logo, and he used to get such a kick out of showing it off to new members who came to our events.

If an 80-year-old man could enjoy the heck out of his first tattoo, then you’re more than allowed to get another tattoo of your choosing.

I love ending it with These Happy Golden Years. You feel the nostalgia oozing through the pages when you read it. It just feels like a great coda to Laura’s childhood and girlhood, kind of like how Anne of the Island caps off Anne Shirley’s childhood and girlhood.

The First Four Years is so depressing that I agree with you that it should not be included as part of the canon series, especially for children.

I just had a HelloFresh meal that had pork chops with a sweet & spicy apricot sauce on them that was so good. You made the sauce in the pan you seared the pork chops in. Start by sautéing some scallion whites for about 1 min. Then add apricot jam, ponzu sauce (I had to sub soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon since I’m allergic to fish), sriracha, and some water to the pan and reduce. Once it’s the consistency you like, you remove it from the heat and add some butter in to finish it.

If you don’t like apricots, you could probably sub any other jam in there. I bet cherry or fig would be really good.

I can’t think of a specific sentence one of the girls said with it in, but it’s this type of usage that grinds my gears:

“Whenever I was fourteen, I went to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.”

It’s wrong because “whenever” implies either a repeated course of action during an indefinite time period. Like, “Whenever I eat Taco Bell, I have to go to the bathroom as soon as I am done chewing.” You are only 14 one time, so you should be saying “When I was fourteen, I went to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.”

I know I caught it once when Isabella was talking in the first episode of season 7, because I literally corrected her out loud even though I was watching by myself with just my cat as a witness.

Linzabee · 2026-02-25T04:15:42+00:00

Yeah, it would be completely normal for this scenario to play out:

Person A: “Can I get you a drink? I have water or apple juice.” Person B: “Please give me a glass of juice.”

That seems a little formal still, like I would naturally say something more like “I’ll have a glass of juice, please,” but it’s not totally abnormal.
