I work with so many folks in time zones that fall on the half-hour and whose biannual time shifts happen on a different day than mine. Sometimes it's confusing.

The opening drone sequence was filmed by a childhood friend. This should be very good.

Today I received an email that signed off with "Enjoy life." Thanks? I will?

Public Works is ready to tackle this weekend’s snow storm. We expect snow to move in late Saturday morning and continue through Sunday. The total snow accumulation for this storm is expected to be 2 to 5 inches with locally higher amounts possible due to snow bands. (1/6)

Are there any holiday string lights that last 2+ seasons and aren’t awful? Why are these strings so hard to recycle? All the programs I used to use are gone.

Mom, on the phone: You bought us gluten-free Cheerios. Me: The plain ones are gluten-free, yes. That's not a specialty cereal. Plain Cheerios are just gluten-free as they've always been. You have had these before. Mom: But they weren't gluten free. Mom.

Parents, your kids' school/classroom theme days sound exhausting, especially if there's a different theme every day for a week.

That will be a welcome route! I fly into Dublin more than any other city.

It's pretty great. Miami is also the only major U.S. city founded by a woman. Her name is Julia Tuttle.

FTFA: "This is not the first time there has been a push to beef up rules on the labelling of such products in the EU." I see what you did there.

Dear charities, Please stop sending address labels as a thank you gift. I do not want them. I cannot shred them or recycle them. Use the cash to forward your mission. That's why I gave to you in the first place.

It's so blustery outside that I think I just saw a hawk flying overhead get blown out of the sky.

So it turns out they literally fell off a truck. It was a semi carrying mushrooms. The truck was towed but no one ever retrieved the 11 undamaged pallets of mushrooms. The cargo went to the tow garage owned by the nephew of my friend's boss.

I get it. The solar flares. But I could do without the tech gremlins this week. Last night, the open mic had a heap of tech issues. At work, I couldn't get PowerPoint to export in the format I've used a 1000x before. Today, my mug breakfast that I've made forever exploded in the microwave.

Absolute Units returns this Thursday! This time we're chatting to the wonderful Professor Paddy Bullard (University of Reading) and Isabel Hughes (Associate Director, The MERL) about Jane Austen, ahead of the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth next Tuesday. merl.reading.ac.uk/explore/abso...

We made these in elementary school and we charged $2.

Caramel-flavored fluoride after my dental cleaning feels so wrong. And almost immediately tastes like chemicals.

A friend recently requested her medical records and Behemoth....sent her someone else's records.

I’m disappointed in the number of solid accounts actively using the other site still. Like why are you posting to bots and hate-baiters?

I’ve read Tom & Lorenzo for what feels like forever and I am delighted that they’re sharing their content here.

I know a lot of folks don’t like the Salvation Army and that’s fine if you choose not to donate to them. But I will donate to Project Bundle Up every year. This is the 40th year of this community service.

I bought the remaining ingredients I needed for an eggplant curry only to discover that I only imagined that I had coconut milk. Mediterranean chicken was plan B.

I gave my mom one of those Freshcut pop-up cards for her birthday and I tell ya, I really like them. The Frick Museum has a few bouquet ones in their gift shop.

Friend: Do you know someone with a pig farm or a large compost bin? I have loads of mushrooms. Me: No pig farm but I have multiple compost bins. How many mushrooms? F: 5 pallets. Me: How did you get these? F: I don’t know. But they’re sliced.

The Foundation of HOPE is accepting used or new book donations for individuals in the Allegheny County Jail. December 8, from 3 pm - 7 pm 901 Pennsylvania Ave. Suite 3A, Pittsburgh, PA, 15233

Pittsburgh is excellent at turning churches into different spaces. If a theater opens up, can we make it an independent bookshop?

What are your cats' morphed names, @jooblee.bsky.social and @pghsciencenerd.bsky.social?

Poland, if you vote to leave the EU, you are bonkers.

Good King Worchester Sauce looked out on the Feast of Soy Sauce When the snow peas lay round about deep and crisp and even

Our electric bill looks like we ran our central air conditioning for a month straight. 😳

This is a surprisingly nice display and parking is easy. Plan on spending real time there--there is so much to see outside of this display, too!

These temperatures seem premature for December. These are late January/early February temperatures.

Glad to see someone challenging Reschenthaler. He's run unopposed in the last three elections. I hope to learn more about Bradstock. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

Now I have hiccups and tinnitus.

Friendly reminder to Pennsylvanians that you must completely clear snow and ice from your car before driving.

I want to see these cars navigate the Fort Pitt Bridge at rush hour.

I really regret getting that massage last night. As a result, I’ve had screaming tinnitus for 19 hours straight.

It’s really strange that the Pittsburgh holiday market isn’t in Market Square this year and that there are no musical acts performing.

Watching the neighbors' golden retrievers enjoy the snow is a real perk.

My street was first plowed around 7:30 AM and it is now spotless.

We enter the season of family birthdays. My family have 9 birthdays across the next 9 weeks.

We have no idea when the excavation crew is arriving tomorrow or how they plan to handle the incoming snow.

My neighborhood is in a strange state of skeletons and pumpkins next to Santa and poinsettias.

I hope my pro-immigrant stories on Instagram make my conservative relatives clutch their pearls. I see you on the viewed list, cuz.

Hello orthostatic hypotension

The Waterfront. Just watched a half-empty 61D blow past a guy waving his arms to flag down the bus. The guy was at the right stop. Driver did not care.

I also hung the towel for drying dishes (the tea towel) on the wrong bar and got an earful! 😆

Phew boy, dinner was like a ticker of Faux News headlines

Weeks ago, I ordered young plants for our landscaping work. They arrived today, along with snow. Can I still plant them? Protect them? Or should they overwinter indoors?
