reads at grade level, housebroken, refuses to believe that personableness is a real word

Huge fans of @BBsTexOrleans po-boys, but our visit to the Heights location was a major letdown. Waited 20 mins for a 10-min order. When we asked, someone went to the kitchen & came back suspiciously fast with the wrong food. Love the brand, but service fell short here. 🍤

Learning a lot at FETC! Thanks @JaimeDonally

@onekenobi171295 @TheRickWilson Just to be clear, "result in" is not the same as "resort to".

[Chris J. Thompson @seejaytee63]

@TheRickWilson I'm not sure that's the compliment they think it is. The literal meaning of the word "matador" is "killer".

Hey, @dominosugar , why can't I find your wonderful yellow tub with a handle package at my local grocery store anymore? I've held onto this one for years and couldn't get a replacement! The white one I bought off @amazon after being tricked by a misleading image. Disappointing.

[Chris J. Thompson @seejaytee63]

@dominosugar I've used the same round, yellow container of Domino sugar for years because I couldn't find a replacement. Finally bought one through @amazon but was disappointed. Despite what was in the picture online, I got a container w/ no handle. Do y'all still sell it?

I'm on a quest to recreate every tea recipe in Sutanto's marvelous book Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. I've got my fragrant roasted barley (香烤大麦) and chrysanthemum (菊花), but can't find candied winter melon peel (蜜饯冬瓜皮?). Any advice? @thewritinghippo

@xtbot 谢谢哥们儿。I agree, it's a cool ad.

[Chris J. Thompson @seejaytee63]

@xtbot 我不明白。 I'm still learning, so maybe I'm getting this wrong, but it looks to me as if the 龙 is written using a traditional character, but the 麦 is written using a simplified character (麦 rather than 麥). Are they mixing it up, or is it me?

@dailystem You wear it periodically

Entomology friends. Any idea what this Peruvian beauty is? Spotted her in Machu Pichu. @TheBugChicks

This Thursday! Come in from the cold, have a drink with us after.

All donations for the reading will go to Alliance for Middle East Peace.

I'm thinking this is a stilt-legged fly (Micropezidae) unless someone else has a better idea. @TheBugChicks

[Chris J. Thompson @seejaytee63]

@alicekeeler The first one is better IMHO. White text on a yellow background is not easy to read.

[Chris J. Thompson @seejaytee63]

@KimMerritt_7 @heidiflorcruz I don't know where that thing got to.

@SavageKairn Am I a joke to you?
