A friend is leaving passive-aggressive status updates on FB about being forgotten and ignored by her friends that she thought she could trust. Look, the reason I haven't messaged you in the last three days is because I've had a cat that needed abdominal surgery, my car needs some costly repairs, and basically I've had a lot on my plate, and dealing your drama was more than I can handle right now. And I'm fucking sorry that me asking questions about your incoherent bullshit fantasy story 5 years ago - questions like, "Why does the main character do that, though? What's his motivation? Don't his actions and his persona seem kind of contradictory?" - were so fucking mean. I didn't realize that expecting a story to have some kind of logic to it was "hurting your soul".

If it weren't for some really cool photo groups where I get feedback and learn from others, I would be over Facebook. This friend of mine posts like 20+ dramas a day and I'm sure that I filtered her.

Apericubes are for sale at pretty much half of all supermarkets in Spain and France. Just nowhere else that I can find u.u I'm sure it's due to sensible market research, but blargh.

Probably those tiny bitey bits are considered a choking hazard in the US...

So, uh, which country are y'all gonna invade to secure your supply? Should I be worried?

And as such, from my reasoning above, you might be safe. For now.

It doesn't specify fictional, so I guess it's Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. With Al Roker thrown in for comedic effect.

Right? I just wish their aperi-cubes were available in the U.S. :( They're basically the cheese wedges, but in 0.5in cubes and a wide (wiiiiide) variety of flavors. Those are like heroin-crack for my wife. If we ever move to Europe, their constant availability will be high up in her Pro/Con list.

I have never seen these before.
And now I want some.

Fortunately my son was naughty and must go without any screen time until Thursday, so I will be expecting the crew of the starship Voyager...in about 23 years.

Should I be reading something into the fact that the local city government bought radio ads to notify the public of an upcoming warrant amnesty/round-up, but only bought time on our urban and hispanic stations?

The county sheriff would have to buy time on local Country stations to warn the rural tweaker crowd.

We have the top rated country station in the area. Not a peep, surprisingly. Though I'm kind of grateful, it's already oversold with all the local political ads. Ugh.

Downton Abbey. Jeez, the last I watched was S6:e5. Lord Grantham's had a medical emergency and has been rushed to the hospital. He's not coming to save me. Isobel and the Dowager are fighting, as usual, and they've dragged Cora into it so they're too busy. Mary couldn't behoove herself I'm sure, particularly if Edith wants to help. So that could leave me with Tom Branson from the family upstairs.
Carson and Mrs. Hughes (Mrs. Carson, I guess) could send the downstairs crew, but I know for damn sure that Thomas Barrow would rather smoke a cigarette and make a snide comment than do anything to save me. Anna's pregnant, so she's out too.

That leaves me with Mr. Molesly, Mrs. Patmore, possibly Daisy,Mr. Bates, and maybe Miss Baxter, plus Branson. I feel safe.

I have occasionally seen cubes like these, though only ever in the original flavor. Never in a multi-flavor pack. Last time I got them they had something printed on the inside of the foil, random facts, or something.

I know it's most likely been done before, but I'd like to do one of those "___ react to ___ from other country" where it's really something from their own country. I suspect half or more of the reaction is in the expectation for it to be different.

Ladies and gentlemen...my brother.

OK People Super Tuesday is coming, and it’s time to whittle down the pack of Republican Candidates. Like it or not, here’s my two cents worth.
I have tried my entire life to not be racist. But I certainly have to say that if everyone truly wants this country to not be racially divided, then shut your fucking mouth. I have known White people that are racist, but I know that the most racist people in this country are not white. The next statement will certainly be construed as a racist remark, and a part of it may be. But, as it was so eloquently put by a previous Presidential Candidate, “Read My Lips”. I DON’T CARE IF YOU THINK WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SAY IS RACIST, IT JUST MIGHT BE!!!!!!!
We have had many good Presidents. We have had some not so good Presidents. Now just take a look at what we have had in the past. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush, and yes I’ll even add Truman, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, and there have been many more from several parties. But what I want you to do is read those names to yourself, and then try to add the name of who you are preparing to vote for. The last one sure as hell doesn’t fit. You know that Barak Hussein Obama II. The name doesn’t fit OUR American way. Even to say it makes my skin crawl. President Barak Hussein Obama II. That title doesn’t come off as an AMERICAN President. And his actions don’t come off as an American President. So please, put some time into choosing who to get behind. President Rafael Edward Cruz, President Marco Antonio Rubio. Either one of them would make a fine candidate for the President of Mexico, or Cuba, or maybe even Spain. BUT NEITHER WILL EVER ROLL OFF OF MY TOUNGE EASILY. And after the utter destruction of the things that we hold dear in this country by the current OUTSIDER, how in the world could anyone consider putting another NON American in the White House?
Osama (yes I know) ran on the platform of “Change for America”. Well I know of the untold millions of Welfare recipients that are happy about the “new” America. And now watching the current campaigns, it is reiterated every day on the news that his change was a mammoth mistake. And it will take Decades to undo the damage caused by this outsider.
Presidential Candidate Rafael Edward Cruz’s tagline is “Trust-Ted”. How on Earth could anyone trust Ted when that is not his name? And have you finally got the fact that he is ashamed of his name, and has changed it to make himself sound like an American?
Presidential Candidate Marco Antonio Rubio wants to make a New American Century. Hey Marco, we don’t want a new American century! We just want to go back to this country operating the way it was originally designed.
I’m not on board with Presidential Candidate Donald John Trump Sr. yet, but there are too many people out there that have been allowed to voice their uninformed opinions, so we all will be limited by their choices. But at least the title of President Donald Trump sounds American.
We once had a great country, and we want it back!!!!
And that is where my problem lies, Donald Trump is actually saying what I have been saying for years.
I was fortunate enough to shake the hand of President George HW Bush in my hometown when he was running for Vice President with Ronald Reagan. A couple of years ago, I was attending a conference in Dallas, Texas of which George W Bush was our Keynote Speaker. And with what I believe to have been some of the greatest men in our history, I was fully prepared to back Jeb.
I don’t know where my vote is going yet, but I guarantee whoever it is, they will be Republican and I will not cringe when I say their name.
Thank you for allowing me to rant.
