  1. 1. Email offers usually get ignored, whereas the physical content is meant to grab your attention more directly. 2. It isn't really a catalog in the traditional sense; it's not intended to "close the sale". It's meant to stoke curiosity, like, "Ooh, that looks neat. I think I'll scan the QR code and check it out online!" 3. A cordless jump rope has two handles with a weighted ball on the end of each string. (About six inches long.) It’s supposed to be more practical than a standard jump rope, as it doesn't require as much room to swing, and there's no tripping hazard.
  2. Given what I know about everyone here, yeah, that's probably true.
  3. We'll be having a Max request for dinner: steamed pork buns. We're rounding the meal with smashed cucumber salad, garlic sautéed broccolini, and Hot and Sour soup. And for dessert: mandarin orange panna cotta. 😋
  4. Devilish, mischievous, provocative, and Drama Queen come to mind when I think of you, buddy.
  5. The Fortingall Yew, a 5,000-year-old tree in Perthshire, UK, has always been recorded as male. However, experts at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh have spotted berries on several branches---something which only female trees can do. This tree, the oldest known arbor in the British Isles, is naturally undergoing a sex-change.
  6. When has that ever stopped you?
  7. When you say your only recent boyfriend has a battery, what else could it possibly mean?
  8. We had cream of chestnut soup for dinner.
  9. It's been rather quiet on the chat today. @Drew Espinosa What mischief are you getting up to now?
  10. Of course not. You're the perfect height for hugging.
  11. @Albert1434 Happy Birthday, Bertie!
  12. A request from Colton: Baked Carbonara Pasta.
  13. I'm so sorry for everyone in France right now. Those jewels are priceless cultural artifacts. Whomever is responsible, I hope they're swiftly captured and made to face the consequences of their actions.
  14. I didn't know twelve-year-olds could drive a lift truck.
  15. Good night, B. Sweet dreams of tea!
  16. Ask Cinnabun to call you Phi. The odds are better.
  17. My son, Max, and his boyfriend had a "dinner and a movie" date night. First movie: Love, Simon. Intermission for dinner, movie discussion. Dinner: Oklahoma onion smash burgers with curly fries. Dessert: Oreo cheesecake bites. (A riff on Simon's favorite cookie.) Second movie: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Snack: cinnamon churros (tieing into the film's Southwestern setting.) Continuing the tradition of handwritten notes: "Relationship status: Still crushing. Hard." "I like you more than curly fries. And I really like curly fries." "I was gonna write you a love poem, but I got distracted by the smell of burgers. So just... pretend this is romantic." "Spoiler: I still like you after two movies. That's impressive."
  18. In 1858, a brawl exploded on the floor of the US House of Representatives. Fifty men were involved. The fight ended after one man's powdered wig was knocked from his head. When he retrieved the wig, he placed it backwards on his head. The two sides stopped fighting, overcome with laughter.
