if it wasn’t for the pirin tablets I don’t think I could go on

@mom_of_littles @Cratscadle Was going to say I had nice ones from Gap and Old Navy. Pro tip though, you will be tempted to use the panel to pull them up. Don’t; it will start to rip. Pull from the denim waistband.

@SketchesbyBoze @SevereCritic @Lucy_Worsley Get the Claire Tomalin also!

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@GrowingUpRetro You also need to recalibrate a computer in your car now anyway so you might as well go to the shop

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@AliceinDCland idk they definitely let those same people make signage decisions for the GW Parkway

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@stuckinrevmode Yeah I’m still concerned she’s going to be an annoying as hell character with no good reason to be there

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@Bethyo Not at all new, but have you watched The Vicar of Dibley?

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@pbjparker No lie I heard it start and said “oh no”

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@BRB_Dyying_ it’s an opportunity for Ted to deliver a heartfelt speech to Henry about how these are professionals and this is his vocation and etc etc and we’ll see everybody next season (of football, but also the show) 2/2

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@BRB_Dyying_ I’m having these unformed thoughts about Ted flipping the “there’s no crying in [sports]ball” while also being excited to coach women, and Henry sounds like how Jimmy sounds in the beginning of ALOTO when he’s talking about coaching girls . . . so maybe 1/2

@SS_DCTransit I’m still a little sad that I lost my 25th anniversary silver one with the pandas so I may need one of these

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@freerangemegz And breath and breathe

@Lady_FanAccount This song makes me miss the days when you couldn’t look up song lyrics. I spent decades thinking he was saying “as long as anyone would hop the can”. I assumed it was an expression I was unfamiliar with.

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@HistoryBoomer Definitely have the same 1 and 2!

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@Loi_cee Way, way more than three. My probably least common frequent reread is Maeve Binchy’s Circle of Friends.

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@truthandhyssop @Psychology_Mama Newfoundland is amazing! You will get everything but (probably) the nice weather but that falls under “adventure”.

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@rameriia MASH!

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@bugsandfishes Ooh who wrote this

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@VeeOhMonteiro @SketchesbyBoze Yeah I feel like it’s awkward phrasing and “not developmentally appropriate” is being read as meaning they *shouldn’t* be able to do this, when she might have meant “it’s developmentally appropriate (ie, not a problem) if they can’t do this yet”.

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

@BearandRoo2 @HansFiene There’s a Gilmore Girls where Lorelai and Luke are having a movie night and she says “we’re seeing Casablanca” and it drives me crazy because no one uses “see” when they’re talking about watching a movie at home.

[Allison Otto @allisonmotto]

If you’re going to do a cutesy thing to elongate a word, you have to elongate the actual part you say. “HATEEEEEE” is “hatey”. You’re looking for “HAAAAAATE.”

What's the word/grammar hill you are absolutely dying on?
