@WompratMUA @_Dharmabum_ It was amazing. I’ll never forget it.

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@KayeSteinsapir I love how Molly is her own best hype girl. Look at that kid. This is fabulous.

@ddiamond Sandra Boynton books, hands down. Moo, Baa, La La La, The Going to Bed Book, But Not the Hippopotamus...

@Beganovic2024 @IAmDLowery How have I missed Press Pizza? Is it new?

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@Beganovic2024 I’m so glad Katie’s opened downtown. So quick to get there from our house now. Almost too easy!

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@RexChapman @Rayjon_ He probably did. And also missed the phrase "stay woke" in literature and film in the 70's / 80's. It's not a recent phrase - unless they weren't exposed to it until now. Why do some people just assume you made it up rather than assume they just missed it?!?

@natehoodstp I agree, that one looks very cool in the photo. But they need big open park spaces. Someone planted these as street trees in our dense, urban neighborhood - they are ridiculous. No one can use the sidewalk or park at the curb. They have about 8' to the foundation of the house.

@sarahkendzior Or if you want to stay sober, you can eat your feelings with their HoMade Ice Cream.

@lonesometoast She looked gorgeous

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@AishaS There have been some BRILLIANT moves on her part. She is ready.

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@shannonrwatts Similar situation here in St. Louis - CVPA / Collegiate shooting. In that case, family begged law enforcement to remove gun, and they couldn't. Family tried to move the gun out of house, teen still accessed it. Red flag laws would have certainly helped.

@TessYocom Got to be The Wedding People, I thought that line was weird too.

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@kairyssdal Yes, and I loved the way she did it.

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@KayeSteinsapir Your words frequently resonate with me, but this one really articulates what I've been thinking about this past year. Exactly this.

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@LauraAnnSTL @GlennonDoyle Also: for those late summer babies - all those times we knew our smart kid was SUPER ready to start school/be the youngest in the class? Suddenly hits you that your age 5 decision subtracted a year off home time. Still the right decision, but that was a painful realization!

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@LauraAnnSTL @GlennonDoyle We cried all the way home. 10 hours. After the halfway point, it got worse, not better. We just saw her this weekend - went up to celebrate her 21st - and she’s thriving and about to start senior year. It gets easier, but it is truly a shift.

@mskimkelley Side note: my dad was in grocery sales, and he started out at a small company and Smucker's was one of his products. I had a customized shirt with the logo / my name : With a Name Like *me!* I Have to Be Good! :) Then he worked for P&G, and had JIF. PBJ's for everyone!

[Kristin M. @thirdstoryies]

@mskimkelley It’s so good. I bought some recently at Richmond Heights Schnuck’s - I’ll look there on Sunday and report back.

@barely_a_spec @JessPected I was also in middle school when it happened to me.
