I mean, any vigorous activity directly after eating can cause a stomachache. I don’t know why swimming was the sole focus but a general caution to digest a bit before activity isn’t bad advice.

Shoes off. Except I do have a pair of shoes I wear only indoors, because I have flat feet and want to wear my orthotics.

Holy shit, Peter David wrote some of my favorite Star Trek novelizations. In 1997, I moved to a new area just before my junior year of high school. My new school was massive and I was an introvert who wasn’t great at making friends. But somehow I ended up hanging out with a few fellow Star Trek fans, who introduced me to his new series, Star Trek: New Frontier (thank you Regina!). It got me through the rest of high school!

I’m sorry to hear what happened to him. :(

I actually do call it the elbowpit

Hey don’t misunderestimate them!

Right on! I think it’s awesome when someone confidently knows themself.

They say thank you ;)

I’m 43 and I had to retire my favorite stuffed animal because his arm was getting threadbare and I was afraid it would fall off, so now he sits on my makeup desk. His name is Rufus and he was Avon’s Christmas 1982 Plush Puppy.

My current stuffed animal is a lion cub I bought in the mid-2000s to take with me on my study abroad in Paris. His name is Ruffles (like the potato chip).

“People don’t have pensions anymore?”

No, Mom, we don’t.

No gut?

Aw I’m sorry for your loss :'(

Both are very cute!

Those pink beans and that pink nose!! 😍

I guess things like dicing = 1/4" cubes

Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.

Sleep on belly then?

Yuuuup lol

Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown. I think halfway I wanted her and halfway I wanted to be her.

This belongs on a t-shirt in Spencer’s.

The source material isn’t great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I’d never want to read them again.

I’ve watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they’re doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.
