Why have cinnamon graham crackers become so hard to find?

Most of our fingers have alternate names. The first finger is the index or pointer finger. The fourth finger is the ring finger. The fifth finger is the pinky. But the middle finger is never anything but the middle finger. Why is that? Why doesn’t it have another name? Maybe I should give it one. The curse finger?

I noticed today when my phone decides to show me a bunch of memory photos, no matter what the theme is, there are always more photos of food and drinks than anything else. I will leave that here.

First the Ozempic commercial put Magic permanently into my head. Now Chevy trucks are infecting me with a Come and Get Your Love earworm. Well, David Paton seems to be enjoying the revival of his career. Let’s hope it does the same for Redbone.

I wonder if George Glass was from Canada

Further signs that I'm way too easily amused: It's so cool when I'm walking outside on a windy day wearing hoop earrings and the wind whistles when it blows through them.

Dear MSC: Is Bittersweet Symphony really an appropriate song to advertise a cruise vacation? Do you think people want to associate their vacations with that sort of fatalism?

###

Speaking of commercials, am I the only person who thinks Jardiance commercials were created by the same team behind Crazy Ex Girlfriend?

###

Why do people have such a hard time saying, "oriented"? It's easier to say than the incorrect "orientated".

I think Fresh Direct bags are taking over the world. When the aliens discover the ruins of our civilization, they are going to find human stored all their worldly goods in Fresh Direct bags. 

Recently I went to my storage locker to put my Christmas decorations away. I had most of them in Fresh Direct bags. There was another woman there at the same time as me, with a cart full of Fresh Direct bags. "What would we do without Fresh Direct bags?" she jokingly asked me. Indeed!

How To Not Curate and Edit Your Wardrobe (and still be happy with it)

Out with the old, in with the new. Wait.  That's not quite right.  Old does not have to go out if it's still useful and still looks good.  New doesn't have to take over the old.  Do I have too much old?  Did I buy too much new? I am following several fashion bloggers who talk about creating a "capsule wardrobe".  This is a wardrobe of fairly timeless pieces that best capture your style. At first I thought these sites were going to help me dress perfectly with every piece mixable and into a signature style that screams "Rachel."  No item would be superfluous and everything would work together harmoniously. I have learned in the past few weeks as I transition my wardrobe from the fall/winter closet to the spring/summer closet that trying to get yourself into this mindset can drive you crazy.

The United States has never been more divided. This divided country will fall apart. Are we headed for another civil war? It's hard to listen to any political commentary these days without hearing about how "divided" the country is. The United States isn't united. It's an assemblage of different groups who all have different goals and dreams and lifestyles and values. It's urban again rural, liberal against conservative, Christians against non-Christians, native-born against immigrants. The entire country is a powder keg of hate waiting to blow because nobody can agree on anything anymore. Is it really? The mass media and all the various political commentators feed us these stories about American division every day. They can't be wrong, can they?
