My username. My username.

I'm confused. Which one of the ~10 should we consider?

If the shortened version of the name is spelled Mike, the longer version should be spelled Mikael.

Or if you want to spell it Michael, the shorter version should be Mich.

Just saying.

If I called my husband Mich he wouldn't know I was talking to him.

Crazy damn puppy...she was just at the far end of the couch and was shaking the little blanket around and did a backflip over the arm of the couch onto the floor. Then she walked around to the front of the couch and barked at me....like I did it. Cripes.

Watch Cookie Monster eat Lizzo’s flute on ‘Sesame Street’

And this is the image they decided to use to accompany it:



And, no, Grover isn't even in the sketch. I know that Sesame Street never really caught on in the UK, but seriously? All I had to do was type in "Cookie Monster" and immediately fond five good photos of Cookie. I even got the same results when using my VPN and changing my location to the Docklands.

I even found the stock Alamy photo they used and cited, and it still said it was Grover, not Cookie Monster.

The manifestation of reality is shown to be a failed concept due to the fact that we rarely get what we want.

The iPhone debuted in 2007. That means that most of the people who made the first iPhones are now adults.

In hindsight, we can see how stupid we've been. Imagine the damage done to the time-space continuum if we all had the ability to fix those past mistakes.

Why were parents of the past always threatening their kids with military school? What a weird fad.

I'm my experience it did take off in the UK, me and my sister grew up on it in the 80's and 90's. I'm not quite sure how old we were when we watched it... I think we were too old for the learning/alphabet stuff etc, but not too old for the puppets. We loved it.

A lot of parents don't/didn't like to set boundaries on their children, with the expected results. Military schools helped teach the kids boundaries. I taught at a private school for a couple of years; a lot of the kids were entertainment industry brats. The parents expected the teachers to teach the kids discipline. But if they won't/won't do it at home, it's kind of a pointless expectation.
