Happy Spring from my sunroom geranium. First time overwintering one and I am so glad I did.

@vincempls ah, thanks!

@eclecticwren Great book! The photo above is Hermann Geisler, general building officer.

April 1945: In the final days of World War II, the Führer obsesses over absurdly large monuments for his reimagined Berlin, focusing on an idealized future rather than the reality of his collapsing Reich.

@lydiakauppi Or baffling body conditions. Chilly and damp but my midriff is sweating

@eclecticwren Half the fashion right now is geared toward baffling weather conditions

Shrinkflation isn’t just about food. They’ve been giving us 2/3 of a shirt for years now expecting us to pay for the whole shirt

@chadwaytweety I have 2 varieties and don't get zits but how is this used to treat them??

If you wake up with a big ol’ zit, find some cranesbill

@ronsterd89 I have an old reliable stove but live alone and use the oven maybe once a year. I just bought a new one of these which fits a 13x9 pan. The top element just went out after 6 years but I think I caused it 😩 Love this everything oven.

My oven's glass door shattered while I was eating dinner. It exploded about 5 minutes after it was turned off. I almost had a heart attack. This oven is only 2-3 years old. Why did this happen, and how can I prevent it? I could barely afford this one , I cannot buy a new oven. What do I do?

There is enough unreleased music inside Prince’s vault to release a new album every year for the next 100 years. He lived in the studio, created without limits, and left behind a universe of sound still waiting to be discovered.

@amandafortini Still have my Ocean Pacific (OP) hat in this same pink shade 💅

Lilly Pulitzer dresses, Maybelline Great Lash mascara, 80s-era Izod

@alecttrona Bring back BURGUNDY CORDOVAN

This shade of leather shoe should be illegal

@dpiercyscomics @Ravious101 He has a giant head that can't be shrunk

🚨Jay Leno at 75: Dropped from 224 lbs to 173 lbs (over 50 lbs gone!) with NO Ozempic, no pills, no gym trainer. His secret? Eating roughly a whole watermelon every day. He told Adam Carolla he ditched his morning box of buttered English muffins and heavy stuff like steak, swapped in the watermelon (it's basically water + fiber), and made conscious choices. The guy who once joked he hadn't eaten a vegetable since 1969... now slimmed down naturally. Genius hack or total melon madness? What do you think? #JayLeno #WatermelonDiet #WeightLoss

@AnciraBecky 🙋‍♀️

Not only does the Globe want to hear from you- I want to hear from you. I want to meet the unicorn. 🦄 🤩

@SeeDaneRun I can't even listen to T. impersonators; fingernails on a chalkboard torture. Luckily, I can read and stay informed, sort of.

Aaron is one of the few reasons I stay on Twitter. I can’t stand to actually listen to Fuckwork Orange so being able to read bite sized quotes curated by AARup (just coined that) is the only way I get news.

@Komrad_Iron @tatertotsconor godspeed 😩😩😩

@eclecticwren @tatertotsconor I hear you. I am in the process.

I have been battling moths (allegedly clothing moths) for over 2 years now and I thought they were gone for good. Just found a moth larva crawling on my mattress protector. How? How are they still breeding? They have to be in the carpet. I was told that was impossible.

@larryn1966 I might be TOO wide awake for these times 🤨

@eclecticwren As much as any of us these days

So now a woman can't have hobbies ?

@Biff234523 Thanks. If other cc folks have mentioned them I would take a chance.

@eclecticwren Ppeo is the only distributor for that model, I believe. I don’t have any experience with them personally, but they’re frequently used and seem to be trusted in the community. ppeo.com/goods/kn100-ma…

The only respirator that I’ve worn for the past 3 years is the 9210+ 3M Aura. I’m planning on trying something new this spring, resulting from a combination of: - All of the tech advancements made in this space by makers over the course of the past few years - Relatively low case counts this time of year (especially how we’re trending right now - with the lowest overall numbers since 2023, but YMMV locally), so it’s a good time to experiment - My increasing confidence in my layered precautions, as I’ve only continued to learn more about URTI prophylaxis and about SARS2 - I want something that looks cool Right now, I think I’m considering: - Laianzhi HYX1002 KN100 (ombré/gradient) - Trident Project 3 FFP3 - BreatheTeq KN95 headstrap model All 3 options contain head straps, nose foam, and an aluminum nose wire, just like the Aura, which are all essentials to me at this point when it comes to a quality mask. As far as I know, the WellBefore 3D Pro is the other notable mask that would fit the bill for having those quality components, but their consistent use of GenAI in advertisements takes them off of the table for me. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

@AppWoodHome I'm a small woman but if you believe I can do it, then I believe. Send me all the stuff.

YES This is why we're online. We want everyone to know they can timber frame with their own timber and build whatever they want without a hardware store.

@genuine_rp @volcaholic1 I don't eat regular salt so I need to get it somewhere.

@eclecticwren @volcaholic1 Why are you taking those? Working with plutonium?

Do we need to stock up on these yet?
