It takes a lot to make a stew...

So labia, then? Or vulva, maybe. Unless that camera is an internal one, they're likely not seeing any vaginas.

Large one-topping pizzas are only $7.99 if you order on the Domino's website with their coupon, which is usually located on the home page. Make sure you click "see all coupons" if prompted, because they bury some of them.

I once had a problem picking up an order I'd made online that never went through. They tried to resubmit the order themselves in-store so they could make the pizza on the spot, but the total was almost twice as much without the online coupons. I had to place my online order in the store since they couldn't access those deals themselves.

Bonus, though, is that you can get the extra large "Brooklyn style" for only $10 (instead of $15+ regular price) by up-sizing that $7.99 large pizza for $2 more when you check out.

Source: am kinda poor in a rural area where Domino's is about the best you can get, and buying in bulk is the cheapest way to go.

My vote is on past trauma involving men. I know a cat dad whose 3 feline kids adore him, and I've had my cats be friendly to anyone who respects their space, regardless of gender. I've never seen them have a common predisposition to fear men.

Shout out to all my Generation X peeps--the first generation to spend our teenage/young adult years on the Internet. We still laugh at our Boomer parents who don't know anything about technology. Now we kinda roll our eyes and say "whatever" to all the younger folks who think that we don't either.

Thanks for the info! I'm really enjoying the channel so far.

Very true! I viewed a solar eclipse under an arbor/pergola that was covered with leaves, and the entire length of the sidewalk inside was nothing but tiny crescent suns.

Ditto. I vetoed Starlink at home for the exact same reason.

Any colander/pasta strainer with round holes works wonders for this. One hundred little eclipses cast on the ground--it's like a free pinhole camera!

The ground is so rocky that digging to that extent is prohibitively expensive, unfortunately.

This right here. More poignantly perhaps since the Boomers (not everyone in that age group, obviously) ruined Gen X lives first, before they destroyed the futures of subsequent generations, so we've been watching this dumpster fire for decades and warning about how bad it could become.

What might be unique to X-ers is that we witnessed the social fabric in the U.S. falling apart in the 80's under Reagan--when the likelihood of a blue-collar worker having a solid career at a good company for life, supporting a family on one income, and being able to retire without living in poverty went from being a common thing to more of a lost dream.

So yes, to be lumped in with the same generation that pulled the rug out from under us is adding insult to injury.

Generation X forgotten once again. Whatever.

(It was kind of expected at the time that the Millennials would be named Generation Y because they followed us, but that name never took hold. So they skipped Y and went straight on to Z, then continued with A.)

Or as we call it in the Southern U.S., "Summer Lite," where the daily high temps are finally at or below 90°F a good bit of the time. We keep getting teasers of autumn, but it'll be a week or two depending on where you live. The heat index in Houston looks to be 105°F today, so autumn is still a little ways off. Ouch.

One of the greatest!

Beat me to it. I complain loudly and frequently to anyone who will listen.

Septic's unfortunately not an option in that location. It would definitely be much more convenient in the long run.

My (limited) understanding is that they release only a small amount of CO2, using only solar electricity--no propane in my situation. What's left is a tiny bit of sterile ash that can be emptied outside or sprinkled in the trash. And composting toilets sounded promising until I really started researching them. Ultimately, dumping out solids all the time was too much of a gross-out factor for me, and dedicating a space for dumping them out was a big issue. I was really set on the Envirolet or SunMar central composting systems for a while, but even they were a much bigger hassle to clean and maintain, and the outdoor tank takes up too much space to be practical for my setting.

Such beautiful eyes. Great photo.

From the sound of it, his family bent over backwards in order to be the assholes themselves, gleefully thumbing their noses at your every specific request, while going out of their way to blatantly violate each one individually. Then, just to cement the deal, they snuck back in after being kicked out, in order to disrespect you and your every wish even more. They did this to themselves. They knew what they were doing at your wedding, knew how upset it would/did make you, knew they were disrespecting your rules while insisting that you respect theirs. If they didn't expect the consequences that resulted, it was only because they expected you to just roll over and accept their complete, blatant disrespect. Which tells you all you need to know about them, and hopefully validates your belief that you did the right thing. NTA.
