That is truly bonkers.

Oof, falling UP stairs does suck. But that reel is delightful, thank you for sharing it here!

I just assumed they were all 2" shorter than listed and that was pretty reliable. Thinking about it now maybe I should have been more annoyed by it, but I saw the same discrepancy enough with my guy friends that it seemed less "lying" and more "deluded."

This looks great, thank you!

Thank you, this is fantastic!

I still haven't seen it! I loved the book and vaguely remember the movie coming out but it wasn't something I needed to see in a theater and then I just forgot about it I guess? I'll need to track it down now, thank you!

That suitcase is GREAT.

It's a good one!

Nice! I don't normally think of Pequod's as deep dish (I know that's how they refer to themselves but as someone raised on Bacino's and Edwardo's it seems more like a puffier Pan or a round Detroit) but it's tasty!

Gold Star Distribution Inc., Issues Recall of Certain FDA-Regulated Products in Three States Including Drugs, Devices, Cosmetics, Human Foods, and Pet Foods Gold Star Distribution, Inc. (Gold Star or “the Company”) is recalling all FDA regulated products listed in this press release due to the presence of rodent and avian contamination.

Here's the list of impacted stores serviced by that distribution company. It's linked in the article, but because the brands/products are listed first it could be easy to miss:

Thank you, this was a fascinating read!

I wonder this not infrequently but I also think it could be dangerous.

Ugggh, I'm sorry.

Now I also want donuts! Still working through some leftover pizza so I already have that covered but a donut sounds great.

Thank you! Both today and yesterday I came across your reminders when I really needed them.

Extremely timely reminder to submit my own refill request so thank you! And I am also v jealous of your restaurant/pharmacy/gift shop. What a brilliant idea.

Whew!

Yes, and the playground for recess! I know the kindergarten had a separate playground but I don't remember being split up in any way after that - although it seems like there must have been some guidelines. Or maybe recess just stopped at some point.

We didn't have lockers and we rarely changed classrooms, so that was a bit of a shock/learning curve when we moved to HS - at some point after my class they set it up so all the freshmen had their lockers and homerooms in a separate building to help ease the transition.

My grade/grammar school was K-8, but they distributed everyone pretty well by floor (K-2 on the ground floor, then 3-5, then 6-8 at the top) so it's not like 6 and 13 year olds were colliding in the hallways between classes.

Oh THAT guy! I need to go back and finish Lady Jane but I think I get it now. Thank you!

Ooh I missed that bit!

I was tempted by the actors already but "fab houses" might be the push I needed. (Also going to try to figure out the horse man reference.)

And then AF1 landed and the video feed cut out and (most of?) the press people had to switch to another plane, but no one seemed to see the president switch, and now both planes are on the way but there's some lingering suspicion that Something Is Up.

Very nice!

And I don't even sketch but I get the same way about notebooks, like "I want to jot down something brief but it doesn't seem worth polluting a page of this beautiful dot-grid paper for so little, I'll just remember it!"

And here I was about to be jealous of your proximity to a flying tiger!

Tom Ford Soleil de Feu smells like church incense mixed with coconut, which seems like a terrible idea - particularly since church incense gave me terrible headaches as a child - but somehow I love it.

I get it, sometimes nothing you have on hand quite grabs you! I have 368 unread on mine and still managed to feel that way occasionally.

Those are SO GREAT!
