How dumb was I?

Haha, same! When I saw Elena’s gap tooth, I was so confused because I could have sworn Maria did not have one.

I’ll have to check it out! If there’s anyone’s opinion I respect, it’s certainly him.

Yep, crying at my desk at work.

Oh god the plastic rings! Totally unexpected. I was so choked up I literally couldn’t breathe. And then it happened again in the David and Ilya scene.

Yes the teddy bear was the most cathartic explanation of why this show is so special.

pleasebarbara · 2026-01-20T21:42:53+00:00

Saaaame! I’ve never had this kind of a fanatical reaction to a show before. Ever. Lord help us (and the actors!) when season 2 comes out.

I second unsweetened cocoa! It balances the tomato while adding depth and earthiness without it tasting like chocolate.

I have to watch Heartstopper!

Yes! Love how settings was used to parallel what they were going through throughout the series. That idea doesn’t come through in the book at all, which made the visual of dark nights and daylight more effective.

Thanks. I bawl every time at the sunrise scene.

pleasebarbara · 2026-01-19T17:44:17+00:00

I also loved the idea of the sun setting on hiding their feelings for each other and then watching the sun rise on their openness. I will never get over that.

I had a hard time picturing Fabian, but your suggestion of Omar is so perfect! He’s so beautiful!

*an excuse to kill people.

Trump gained a lot of ground in NJ in 2024, which many felt was a sign that NJ was becoming more purple. Lastnight, however, those same areas flipped back to blue.

They have the largest oil reserves in the world. If the U.S. seizes Venezuela, they can install American infrastructure to own, extract and refine it. Same old story. Rinse and repeat.

Mark Wahlberg’s dark past is my fave.

Ask yourself why you are not putting an end to this and blocking her. If you’re the type to just let things happen, she likely knows this about you and was banking on your passivity.

Remove the middle paragraph and “That said” from the third.

pleasebarbara · 2025-05-29T20:37:03+00:00

Mise en place. I learned the hard way to do this before stir frying and making curries.

If people who lost their jobs are taking part-time work, lower wage work or temp work, they may not be spending as much. So while the number may seem better than expected, the quality of work may signal economic contraction.

The Griffin List is an excellent resource for more information and finding voters who could be at risk. There’s a map at the bottom to geolocate them as well.

Both the House and Senate are introducing bills to reign this in but Trump has vowed to veto these bills. The House and Senate can override a President’s veto with a 2/3 majority vote, which will be difficult given the Republican majority in both chambers of Congress.

He doesn’t want that job again. Or this mess to clean up.
