My son and and his wife took their daughter to see Wicked today.  She sobbed all the way home because  "that is the saddest movie EVER".  And now we are waiting for the penny to drop when she realizes that the Wicked Witch who died in the Wizard of Oz (which she has seen several times) is Elphaba!  Oh dear!

How old is she?

new med is making me nauseous plus the antibiotics made it a crappy birthday

A belated happy birthday to you.

A side effect of taking antibiotics can include nausea.

... a politician or entertainer or athlete or other public figure everyone is talking about has the exact same name as another long-ago celebrity... and no one but you have acknowledged that or has even heard of the older person.

"Caitlin Clarke is a great basketball player!"

"The actress?  Didn't she die in 2004?" 

"What's your favorite Harrison Ford movie?"

"That one he did in 1928 with Franklin Pangborn."

"Why did Kevin McCarthy get ousted as Speaker of the House?"

"Maybe they found out he was really a seed pod double."

I will no longer wish anyone a happy birthday either. I get it I'm not important so be it. I will give as much as I receive from people.

Happy belated. 💙

 

 

The thread was acting like the "submit" button wasn't working, so it posted three times.

Does anyone else still use FB?  Lately I've noticed in their "reels" a disturbing number that are starting of showing very bullying behavior and also showing parents who appear to be about to use corporal punishment on their children - most of these seem like they originate in countries like India or China.  Anyway I refuse to click on the reels under any circumstances but especially with these.  Any idea what the hell these are all about?

I don't click on the random vids FB wants to show me, just scroll on past. Are you using a phone and can't stop them playing?

So it happened, just as I thought it would. My SIL posted a photo of me and my husband on her Facebook page that if I could I'd never let anyone see. We were sitting on her huge leather couch that's made for a much bigger person and swallows me up. I look like a cross between Jabba the Hutt and the Michelin Tire man. She took better photos of us on Christmas that she sent me earlier, but of course she posted the worst one! And then I got notified of friends of mine liking it because I was tagged in it and they get notified when I'm tagged in a photo. I was mortified! It's one thing if her friends see it but another if mine do! I'm going to have to fix that!

If you want i can turn on my pan-dimensional telegraph machine and ask an old friend to send their spirit guide to visit your S-I-L and explain why it was wrong?

There are some others i could contact as their employer is often called for when all else seems lost?
