Michigan was pop, but when I moved to Chicago in 96, I had to change to soda. No one I knew here said pop and they were confused by it. LOL

That’s great to hear!

Baby goats in PJs!

TMS, wow! Soap opera!

Hahah. That’s great.

All of these changes have caused chaos.

Bat wings are why I don’t go sleeves. I wear short or 3/4 sleeves year round.

IL, just found your post. Yes, very juicy. And I’m not done yet.

Heard about this one, but I don’t do Netflix. Sounds fun though.

Did a ton of decluttering this weekend. I’m past giving away stuff. Now it’s stuff that gets trashed. Not in any shape or worth it to give away....

That just reminded me that pretty much any grocery store will have prepared sandwiches ready to go, which may be a cheaper option that the drive thru.

OMG. Hysterical.
