I like this take on it. I’ve just been calling it my “if you give a mouse a cookie” mode

In this case it is thankfully placed in an obvious spot. I was speaking more in general because they’re not always that easy to find.

My parents have one of these, and it drives me nuts when I visit. I understand that feature on something like an oven where it’s still cooking. But the microwave stopped. Nothing’s going to burn. So stop rushing me!

Sniff test then drink. Who’s got the time/patience to play iSpy with the date stamp?

  • When you open a plastic bag, such as for garbage (but if they’re left lying around he loves to sit on them) - this doesn’t apply to treat bags
  • Tall men with deep voices - roughly 6’3” (1.9m) or taller

I always think I’m so clever when I host a gathering because “I get to be in the comfort of my place.” And then when I’m ready for everyone to leave I remember why I shouldn’t host.

But then I forget all this and plan to host something again.

Great photos! I think cheeky sparrow Sundays should be a recurring thing

Does it usually come from the same number or numbers? If so, I’d block it/them and move on.

You tried your best to get them to at least contact her for updated information. Blocking the number(s) means you no longer see the confirmations and such. The only issue down the road would be you won’t get your own confirmations if you ever book with them and use that phone number.

Did you knit it for him? It’s such a great color!

 
 

My sister in law is very hard to shop for, but she knits and crochets. She also makes kimchi throughout the year, so I painted the ingredients for kimchi on some stitch markers she can use with her knitting projects.

 
 

I make these in memory of my grandma every year when my family gets together for Christmas, following this recipe. The recipe makes 16 kolache, 12 with apricot filling and 4 with poppy seed filling

 

Outside garden is asleep til spring, but I still grow a few herbs and lettuce for our pet rabbit

 

TLDR: The insurance company has a new policy, set to take effect in February 2025, where they decide how much anesthesia is needed for surgeries. They won’t pay for any anesthesia over that, with exemptions for maternity and pediatric cases and for Connecticut providers.

The article also notes the insurance company reported a $2.3 billion net income increase in June 2024.

Edit to update: Anthem now says they won’t put this policy into effect

 
 

The world's first wooden satellite, built in Japan, is being flown to the International Space Station on a SpaceX mission.

LignoSat will be released into orbit about 400km above the Earth, with researchers hoping it will prove wood is a space-grade material.

LignoSat will stay in orbit for six months, with the electronic components onboard measuring how wood endures the extreme environment of space.

Edit: added sunmary

 

Just in time to start my mystery knit along, I finished both yip yips. The knit eyes worked out really well. I’ve never laughed so much while knitting something, these were a really fun project

Remember those “Martians” from Sesame Street? A friend asked me to make a couple of these for their kid. My first one is on the left and the pattern photo is on the right. I’m going to try to knit some eye balls instead of using ping pongs, we’ll see how that goes
