Best part of my birthday thus far was frosting these vegan cupcakes with my teen.
I'm thrilled the polar vortex left in time for me to enjoy the warm weather!

With Discord threatening to require ID, is there an existing blog post comparing various competitor services and how they might serve a community of normies?
My own incomplete version:

We are at the stage of winter in #annarbor #michigan where the snow next to the sidewalk has been piled so high that my dog can't get onto it to poop. She knows not to poop on the sidewalk but the best she can do is poop in someone's driveway on the street side of the sidewalk. At least it's […]

I played "Dragostea tin dei" (the Numa Numa song) for my teen. She said wait, i know this tune from both David Guetta ("I don't want to wait") *and* Rihanna ("Live your life")??
Good observation considering that (I think) they are sampling different parts of the original.

My beginner rec league hockey team shared birth years in the locker room tonight after the game. The oldest was born in 1981. The youngest is half as young, born in 2003.

Had a nice talk with friends who are parents of a teen & tween the same ages as mine. Got new ideas for chores to assign, our most recent shuffling hasn't worked out.
