You too.

I'm refusing it, aren't I? You lumped everyone who doesn't want one into the same group.

I'll kindly ask to please respect the people who aren't getting a vaccine because they shouldn't. I'm one of them.

That is beneath his dignity.

How many people here are now contemplating paying a visit outside with a meat thermometer in hand? And maybe a small shovel?

Speaking of pizza: I've made this recipe before using delivery pizza, made sure there were crust pieces along the edges of the baking dish, sauteed the onion in only 1 tbsp of butter before throwing it into the mix, got the garlic on the pizza itself, and didn't bother with the red pepper flakes since I'm not a huge fan. It's even better the next day. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/229489/leftover-pizza-breakfast-casserole/

His grandfather won 4 Stanley Cups. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/anthony-mantha-red-wings-1st-nhl-goal-1.3507124

JMO, but I think part of the reason he hasn't lived up to the potential people thought he had is because of way too many years of playing with lousy teams, including the team that drafted him and whose fans thought he was going to be the savior. He couldn't handle the pressure (trust me when I say that if you're playing for an NHL team that's based in Canada, no matter how good or bad they are, you're playing in a pressure cooker), and by the time the Oilers traded him his best years were behind him.

I said this last year, but when it's possible go to Ottawa. The Netherlands gifts them lots of tulip bulbs every year in recognition of Canada's effort in WWII, both in liberating the country and also taking in the Dutch royal family. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/princess-margriet-of-the-netherlands

That is the most of Minions I have ever seen. Better to have watched it than to have texted my now-teenage nephew, who loved them when he was younger, to ask for an explanation and have him question my sanity.

Honest to goodness, it may be the same truck.

The ice cream truck is back. The song playing right now is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Earlier this morning I got a sausage and egg McMuffin (hold the cheese; I hate that processed stuff). As I was leaving the drive-through I looked in the bag and my first thought was, "I forgot to ask for ketchup." If it's the standard egg McMuffin with Canadian bacon, though, ketchup is necessary to give it some flavor.

In lieu of a barfing emoji, this one would work for that concoction:

I see someone in the 2nd photo may be longing for outside...

First ice cream truck of the year (more like since the fall of 2019) in the neighborhood.

RE: Baseball parks. I've been to a few (certainly not as many as some of you) and I have to say one of the places at top of my best experience list is Isotopes Park in Albuquerque (they are a AAA affiliate of the Rockies). And yes, when I attended a bunch of years back a rather familiar "D'oh!" would come from the loudspeakers after a foul ball. The team owners actually did an end-around to build it: The original plan was to take the old stadium and renovate it, so the city put it to a public referendum along with the owners' proposal to demolish the stadium and rebuild it from scratch. The former won, so the owners just demolished most of the stadium instead and built it how they wanted.

When a post by @Mrs.J shames you into indoor plant watering... Pardon me for a moment.

If the look on puppy's face was directed at me, I'd be, "Here, have all the treats."

I'm not joking when I say International Delight made a Peeps-flavored coffee creamer for last Easter. It was yellow.

As someone on twitter said about this, the pineapple on pizza combination can take a back seat for now: https://nypost.com/2021/03/25/peeps-flavored-soda-from-pepsi-has-the-internet-confused/

I moved here from a place where the drinking age is 18. The first time I held a freshly-minted 21-year-old's head over the toilet my thoughts ran along the lines that my previous run-ins with the aftermath of the First Official Drunk were with college freshmen, not with college seniors. I found it a bit bizarre, in all honesty. BTW, @NorthArlington101, besides this date being the anniversaries of our respective world debuts, in 1839 "O.K" made its first appearance in print and the world has never been the same since.

Small world! Another person who uses the same month and day on the birth date section of forms! What is it with so many late March birthdays? I obviously include my own in that, but I and the wombmate should have showed up in April.
