Thank you

I can. I wouldn’t be so arrogant as to assume I know what everyone’s experience is, or to claim my experience is the single universal experience.

Surely you can accept that it is the case for some

It happened to me when I was 8 (not by Woody Allen). I can still remember every detail. It sticks with you

And more penguin species live outside the Antarctic region than in it

The US forests got used to not having them, so now some trees like maples need a thick layer of leaves on the ground to trap moisture around their roots so they don’t dry out. There are also native plants that need this layer to help protect them from temperature swings.

I’m sorry for your loss. That sculpture is great to have around when you’re missing her. I especially love the ears and nose.

So floofy

Don’t give them any ideas lol

There’s a store near us that almost always has some kind of sale going on. The catch is it isn’t immediate savings - you have to fill out and send in a rebate form. If you manage to do that, they send you “store credit” as a physical piece of paper you have to remember to bring to the store. I often wonder what percent of rebates never get submitted or used. Probably pretty high.

I had a laugh the other day because one of their competitors was advertising an “instant savings, no waiting for rebates” sale.
