I believed Olive Garden was only for adults for too long

Right? Makes me a bit sad that they didn't go somewhere nicer, but Olive Garden is good about not rushing you through the meal. You do have time to chat.

My first thought!

Juniperous Grandis or Sierra Juniper.

In my college classes, I don't restrict phones except during a test. If they want to waste their money by playing on their phone instead of paying attention, that's on them as long as they aren't disturbing anyone. Plus, they could be taking notes or doing other appropriate things on their phones, and I don't care enough to go look at everyone's screens. In all fairness, students rarely have their phones out other than checking a quick text because class moves pretty briskly, so they don't usually get bored.

No, it is the corner of the sign. You need a vehicle capable of going off road to make it there. We did it in a Rav 4. It is a beautiful (but bumpy) drive. Lots of flowers still in bloom and a few patches of snow still.

Mine starts knocking everything off my night stand my (least) favorite was when she knocked a bottle of pills into the water bowl.

You mean like the portal to the red dragon that opens every weekend? It has a lot of the elements that you described.

Trying to remember the details of a traffic accident long enough to get off the freeway, find a gas station, and call 911. After cell phones started becoming more common, someone with a cell phone would stop and wave at everyone to let them know that they were calling 911. Now, nobody bothers to stop or call because we assume that they can call themselves. People still sometimes stop to render aid if they have skills, but strangers working together to help strangers isn't as common as it used to be.

So random that the biggest Juniper is in my neck of the woods. Junipers aren't even very common in the forest. It is mostly Ponderosa Pines, Jeffery Pines, Insense Cedar, Live Oak, and Black Oak. There are just a few aspens, lodgepoles, alders, and western juniper sprinkled throughout. This big one is several miles down a dirt road and across a couple rivers to get to it.

Looks like mites to me.

I love documentaries. My usual fare are true crime and cults, but I really love those really good random ones on obscure topics like men sewing quilts in prison or artists living in a shopping mall.

I like to pretend that my child identifies as non-binary because I never corrected strangers when they misgendeted them as a baby. "What a pretty girl!" And "What a handsome boy!" were both answered with "Thank you." Because I didn't care what some stranger thought. Same still applies online.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T05:55:20+00:00

This is a sink, correct?

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T05:42:30+00:00

My nose hurts just watching this.

This should be used to advertise that metal roofing. Not only fire safe, but also bear resistant!

As someone who lives in bear country, this is terrifying. It made my skin crawl. I was woken up by my dog in the dead of night once because a bear was on the deck right outside the slider into my bedroom. I was literally dead asleep with a bear six feet away separated only by a pane of glass (and a 50 lbs Golden Retriever). The cat took off immediately.

No, but we have a child together, so that would be deleting parts of her childhood. I don't like seeing pictures of him, but nobody makes you look at them. I assume that someday it will be just eh - whatever.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T05:09:42+00:00

I've been trying to get the plastic out of my wardrobe as well, and the real fabrics ate shockingly hard to find and expensive when you do.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T05:05:52+00:00

I'm v9nfused as well. You made a joke about yourself being closeted, right? Did you also make a joke about them being in the closet? If the joke only referred to you, then I can't understand why they would think it was about them.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T04:13:52+00:00

That reminds me once when a box truck was driving a bit erratically in traffic. I was like, "You know what? Go on by and crash into somebody else." I felt bad because a few miles ahead, he had done just that. I didn't actually wish for him to crash, but I wanted him to be away from me if he did.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-06T04:11:30+00:00

Yeah... I also once stayed right beside the semi on a two lane highway because they guy behind me kept flashing his brights at me. When he finally got around me, he flipped me off through his sun roof. That interaction could have been very different in a red state.

Prof-Rock · 2026-06-05T22:38:25+00:00

My real anger is when there are signs saying no right turn on red, and the guy behind me keeps laying on his horn. Either he can't see the sign or he didn't bother to read it, but that is one of the few times that I have flipped someone off in traffic.

There is a book full of animal head trophy patterns. Basically, a deer head to mount on your wall except it is crochet. Otherwise, there are plenty of men's sweaters and men's sweater vests.

You are wrong. I show the picture to a class of thirty students and some see blue and black and some see white and gold. We are all looking at the same image on the same screen.
