    In the state of Maryland it is specifically illegal to take a lion to the cinema.

    It’s illegal to have a pet squirrel in Indiana

    Indiana never lets you have any fun

    I’m just guessing but it looks like someone is on a revenge bender.
    Not a great idea on MFP. 😂

    Walked into Trader Joe's.
    Walked right back out saying, "I don't need my bananas THAT much."

    I haven’t consumed a glass of tap water in decades.

    I know you probably mean that you drink bottled water but it’s so funny to me because it reminded me of something Patsy from absolutely fabulous would say.

    People always think I work in stores and ask me for things. Like the guy at Ulta who wanted me to get cologne out of the case for him.😂

    Right now it’s maybe because I hate coats and rarely wear one so I don’t look like a customer. But it happens year round so idk.

    Perhaps it’s because you’re a beautiful woman that puts off a vibe of friendliness and compassion. ☺️

    I’m so tired and sleepy but I have no explanation for it other than I’m just lazy.
    All my cooking is getting done tomorrow.
    All the presents are wrapped.
    I have done very little today yet I’m going to shut my eyes for just a minute…..

    Here’s my hot take and unpopular opinion.

    Jumanji is an abysmal film and if it wasn’t for the great Robin Williams it would have utterly flopped.

    *Runs away*

    I remember liking it but, yeah, Robin Williams. :)

    I really liked the reboot/sequel/whatever they called it, tho.

    I bet you are a lovely person and I don't think you would. Never lower yourself to their low ideals anyway and you will always be a winner!

    I wonder what the origin of naming American football 🏈 is? Maybe because the game begins with a kick? Kicking is maybe 10% of the game, and is anything else that isn't round called a ball?

    I am here for alternative names. Tackle Turf? Touchdown Match? Concussion Combat?

    I usually go for the tried and true sportsball even though it takes a good stretch of the imagination to call that a ball

    I remember when I was a little girl,
    seeing the body count on the evening news.
    That’s normally when my parents told me to leave the room.
    That was Vietnam.
    It was horrifying to see that number every night on the news.

    These days, people act like it’s all a game and the numbers are just game lives.

    Sad 😔

    I feel like the news is so constant our empathy just can’t keep up. It is exhausting and heartbreaking at best and numbing at worst

    In our day we only saw the news at 6 and 10 pm right - now it’s in our pocket whenever we want - and media is a business so “if it bleeds it leads” As that gets more eyeballs which means more money for them which unfortunately - we can’t help but look at the wreck when we go by - human nature I guess - also on an unrelated topic - you ever realize how most junk food is marketed to children - with the goofy commercials and what not - you think that’s because as children we don’t have the critical thinking to realize that they push the junk to keep you sick so they can sell you the meds for the cure - and by the time most figure it out it too late or they don’t care - hell I’m just figuring it out at 44 - ok rant over 😂

    And as if the real news weren’t bad enough, media outlets, purposely make everything sound worse and more polarizing than it has to be. Rage farming.

    I don’t see a lot of commercials so I’m not sure what goes on anymore or why I’m not so exposed to it. When I was a kid we were on the poor side for a while because my mom was a single parent and in nursing school etc. so we ate a lot of oatmeal and a lot of powdered milk and didn’t really have boxed cereals or things like that.

    for some reason, those commercials never really spoke to me. Probably because I knew we couldn’t afford to eat like that. Now if you want to talk about those Barbie fashion plates, and those cosmetic heads made for kids… Those I lusted after.
