@JohnIsner going all bulldog on the umpire before the match even started. Impressed because he was battling for his opponent. I will miss watching him
Play after this US Open.

@AwkwardCeleb @purrsandskirts And London. I always like visiting there.

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@AwkwardCeleb Same. That was a fun trip.

@JessicaVosk Etiquette. Even younger than 8. There was a reason why my husband and I drove instead of flew. Had 3 kids in 3.5 years. Flying was too much of a headache.

@BPopelish @MegStEsprit @clhubes My daughter is the allergic one. Last year was the worst. She was so miserable. I told her never again. So I put up my fake tree this year. She is so salty about it. But she is going to be able to breathe at home this year!

@JazzNScotch @DiaryofaSickGrl I am allergic to rosemary, saffron and cilantro. Non anaphylactic yet, but as I have cut them out my reactions have gotten worse. My MIL is the worst. My hubby tells me not eat her food. She often messes with my nieces peanut allergy. She wonders why her DILs don’t like her?

@zolarsonz Same with detroit.

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@zuzalicious_ Thanks. That was what I figured. Ticketmaster really dropped the ball today.

My daughter is in line for the Philly Sunday show. Is that queue moving or has everything paused again?

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

Woohoo!! I did it. I got @tswifterastour tickets!!

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@taylorswift13 @tswifterastour Philly queue just started moving again!!

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@alexdionisio16 Philly queue paused for about 20 minutes now. @Ticketmaster what is going on. Get it together.

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@AwkwardCeleb Sadly…….. This is not surprising.

[Karen mertzman @Geomomothree]

@billyeichner my husband and I just saw Bros. We laughed. I cried. Your song is great. What a fabulous movie. Everyone should go see it. It was just what I needed.

Two out of my three kids called me from college tonight. This is me.

@travelinggeolog Oregon volcanic rocks from my father’s 50 year research career. He retired this year and needed to remove his rocks from college storage. We are using them as a border for my garden. He can still remember where he collected most of them. Like to the foot.

@Sheneedslonniee As a person who has had both a minivan and 7-seater SUV, the minivan is so much easier. You can fit more in it, the third row seat is more comfortable. We did two massive road trips PA-SD and PA-UT. With 2 kids well over 6 feet tall and one on her way to 6 feet.

If you are not voting or at least following this, you are missing out. The fanatical fans of minerals brings joy to the geologists heart. (Personally, Vivianite is going to win the whole thing.) I did not name my daughter after the mineral, but I love it all the same.

ROUND 1 MATCH 4

Today's theme is green like the Emerald City, with radioactive #Torbernite coming in against fluorescent #Fluorite.

Which will outlast the other? Present your photos and arguments, and vote!

@NovicSara @PhillyInquirer It sums up Philly perfectly.
