That’s disappointing

0 for 5… who needs happiness anyway, when my bitterness keeps me warm at night?

I’ve been out of the game for a few years. What do people use now instead with simple html sites?

I forgo my vegetables, the bat shaped Reese’s are hands down the best ones!

I feel this in the depths of my soul

I’ve really enjoyed your drawings so far! How do you like those prompt cards?

There was something about the way “shattered” was said that reminded me of the band at Chuck E Cheese’s. There must have been a song, or one of the animatronics must have had a similar voice… I have no idea, but that was always my strong association

Stepson might involve some kind of adoption, or, I don’t know… My dad remarried when I was in my late teens, but I didn’t see him much. His wife has never been referred to as my stepmom, etc, but my situation might be different due to a lack of closeness. The OP clearly has some kind of relationship with the kid since they are going to pick them up, but I can see how they might not have that kind of label.

Well it’s been 24 months since I’ve last heard that kind of complaint…

It looks like an English Springer Spaniel to me. And what do you mean about the eyes? What looks wrong to you?

Why is the changing her life part (losing weight and getting a divorce after seeing Bigfoot) relevant? Did she leave her husband to try to get with Bigfoot and is suing the state because they claim her new beau doesn’t exist? Wild!

I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!

I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.

Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.

Euphorbia is a highly diverse plant genus, comprising some 5,000 currently accepted taxa.

Give it a couple years… and then a few more.

In that case, does it become a weed box? Is a bread box still a “bread box” if it doesn’t contain bread?

Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:

There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.

In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.

Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!
