I ordered these cupcake liners for #Easter only to get the mini-size. It wasn't obvious at all that these weren't the regular cupcake size. Is it just me? I'm betting companies think we won't return items -- because why? It's only $7. They're going back. @WiltonCakes #Baking

Febreeze! Used once, it took the smoke smell out of a vintage -- okay, used -- chair I bought on Craigs List in my favorite town ever: #RVA. Never used the sad little Febreeze bottle again. (But I still have it.)

Almost finished ultra-marathon reading of David Goggins book: Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds. Guess how I sold it to my teen boys? "This dude's muscles are afraid of him." And off they went to read. https://t.co/VGKSGkx3d7.

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

The idea that a resort fee covers anything is false. A resort fee is a scam. You are paying for the hotel to lie to you about the room rate

So proud to play tiny role in cruise world. #DiamondPrincess is showing such kindness to passengers & the ubercrew. Jan Swartz head of @PrincessCruises is giving cruisers full refund + 2nd cruise. Crew gets 2 months paid time off. @amandafromafar #TuesdayMotivation #TuesdayVibes

Try out at least two Toastmasters clubs before you choose, the different groups really do have their different personalities. I picked a warm & cuddly Toastmasters club. This was/is my story: https://t.co/fTddU05QG1. Very fun, totally worth it. Kisses to Karen & kids!

[Jeff Downs @mathjeffdowns]

@WendyIrvine I have been thinking about finding a toastmasters in Carson City.

Cruiser on #DiamondPrincess ordered wine by drone, novelist @GCourterraves raves about pastry chef keeping everyone in rich calories. Jokes aside the 3,700 people (including crew) are frightened. Send them your best thoughts.

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

Look at this idiot 😂 @Adam_Morfeld , the only politician I have seen defend deceptive resort fees. He clearly does not understand how resort fees cheat millions in taxes, hurt hotel workers, reduce tourism dollars spent + hurt the economy. Sad to see such uninformed politicians!
