@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The only sensible thing to do! Who would say that about chocolate milk?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The full glottal stop. We North Americans do it when we say Uh oh.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social actually, just looked at a map. I am on roughly the same latitude as Marseille, Nice, Florence, but almost exactly the same as Sofia. However, we don’t have the warming influence of the Mediterranean Sea. Just the Great Lakes ( including Lake ONTARIO). Not quite as warm.🥶

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I know. To compensate, I will spend the winter in Portugal. My envy knows no bounds.😄

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social This is a perfect example of Occam’s Razor. The simplest solution is usually the correct one.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I had a neighbour who put a picnic table on wheels, with a motor and a barbecue. Drove around flipping burgers. Police said he can’t drive it on the road. So he motorized a recliner chair and drove it on the shoulder.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I have always thought that no paid mat leave is barbaric. But then, this is a country that voted twice for a known predator for president. Je comprends pas.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social But are there cannibals in Mississippi? 🤔 Probably not enough to get the job done.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social In our family, we read mazageens and use “Scottish” tape to fix paper rips. At least since my son was a toddler.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Whether a woman who has just given birth gets guaranteed maternity leave! Jesus H!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Don’t blame you. Anyone who drinks antifreeze with steak is too weird to date.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social a warning from a judge is like waving a red flag at a bull.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social @bernicecbc@newsie.social Vee, I don’t know how you came through that experience with your sense of humour still intact. I bet there are lots of days that it still feels like yesterday, not 25 years ago. I can’t know how you feel, but I can tell you that I’m glad you’re here. Take good care.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social It’s not just politics anymore. It’s values, ethics, morality.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The Hollywood Access tapes were out before his first election. He told everyone how he treats half the population so why is it a leap to realize that is how he would treat everyone?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I’ve seen all of those effects just from listening to “99 bottles of beer on the wall”. People are downright cranky when it gets down to single digits.
