Indeed.

Watching BBC Ten and wondering when any media outlet will have the cojones to stop using the euphemism "forced to have sex" and use the proper legal definition for when a woman or girl doesn't consent.

Loving how many people are coming here to say "calling a black cat Snowball rocks."

The link doesn't work from this post but the pattern is still searchable using mathgrrl and the page is there. Also available on Pinterest.

Bringing together two of my passions - knitting and baseball. It's taken me a year to knit this scarf. #knit #knitsky meet #MetsSky.
For the knitters, it's called triple check stitch (credit to mathgrrl.com), made with three colours and gives the effect of stocking stitch on both sides.

An hand knitted scarf in the colours of the New York Mets - blue, white and orange.

Any comments from all those who last week swiftly jumped on the now derailed bandwagon?

Is a question that the British media have utterly failed to ask.

Yup. And (frogging aside!) at the end of it you have something that is tangible and beautiful.

Allegedly the information was in the possession of a member of the British Royal Family, who wanted the police to dig up some dirt on Virginia Guiffre. He claims to never have met her.

If you've never met someone how do know their date of birth and US social Security number?

The nervous system wasn't made for scrolling social media without image descriptions.

Adding alt text says, ‘we want you here too,’ and keeps our nervous systems in check.

It’s easy to add: Simply click "Alt" after you've uploaded your image, write a description and post.

Would love to see a cost benefit analysis of these events.
Just donate the money without shouting about how generous you are.

Panic by bookmakers under threat from the budget. "Betting shops will disappear. We're part of the local community."
Given the misery that gambling causes, would people shed any tears?

So the tumble drier isn't well. It's leaking. OH decided to have a look at it. He proudly told me that when he put it back together he only had 5 screws left over...

That is like the mother in law buying their darling grandchild a drum. Because she hates you.

Check the weather forecast first. It's usually Baltic this time of year but last week was tee shirt weather.
