An advent calendar for when making plans with others for the future won't be optimistic foolishness (this calendar is a subscription service (this calendar is a pyramid scheme (this calendar is a trap. It will always be an exercise in optimistic foolishness))).

An advent calendar for when I will sleep six consecutive hours again. Separately (and likely shorter), an advent calendar for when the baby sleeps six consecutive hours

Great news! Health insurance resolved our grievance! BUT, the resolution cannot be conveyed via email. What is it? A scratch and sniff explanation of benefits? An edible reimbursement arrangement? Thrilling!

Is there a gaffe/current crisis calendar? Like a #1 pop hit on your bday calendar, but swap songs for dumb/insensitive/alarming events

@KathleenMRooney @EnterDuration @MartinSeay everyone should move in to an RV! Potential to die in shower decreases exponentially when you only have 6 gallons of hot water!

@EnterDuration @KathleenMRooney after the #shining, I was terrified & made my sister sit on the toilet while I showered. I blame my fear on being raised in a hedge maze #NH

[tovah burstein @Trovahh]

@KathleenMRooney but, you know, I never found the #Exorcist scary. blame it on the 80s? or the lack of catholic guilt?
