When you feel like the 30 Rock connection is super obvious...

This was posted in a community theatre group I follow--262 comments and nobody mentioned Jenna eating 32 pieces of pizza a week in Mystic Pizza, the Musical.

Me watching The Root of Evil the first time

First 5 minutes: Ooh, is this weird town going to be a Brigadoon?

After that: OMG IT'S A MIDSOMMAR

Decluttering sprint—should I throw away incomplete/scattered toy sets or spend time sorting to donate?

I have a dumpster in my driveway for one week only, so I’m on a tight timeline to clear out our basement.

​The main sticking point is my kids' old toys with multiple parts (board games, playsets, train tracks). The pieces are scattered everywhere. I’ve been trying to group matching sets together so usable stuff can be donated, but matching everything up is eating up way too much time.

​Should I cut my losses and dump the incomplete/scattered sets, or is it worth the effort to keep sorting?

Has the show changed or have I?

I liked the original fine, but it was never my first choice, I generally went for stuff that was more joke-dense or absurd.

But the reboot has me absolutely hooked! I can't get enough of it. Something about the characters and pacing is so pleasant. I can't decide if the show has changed or I have. Maybe it's because I'm middle-aged now and life is really stressful? If you've watched both, do you feel like the reboot is significantly different?

Has anyone navigated finding a meeting (or meetings) to attend when your schedule changes frequently?

My husband has started going to AA, but has found it difficult to get there after work and would prefer to go on the weekend. The tricky thing is that his weekend rotates--a month of Monday/Tuesday, then a month of Tuesday/Wednesday, then Wednesday/Thursday, etc. Would it work to go to a meeting for 8 weeks, then switch to a different one, or does that make it too hard to work with a sponsor, build community, etc?

When should I start nudging my kids away from "90s summer?"

Because I work at a school, my boys (8 & 10) have a pretty 90s summer...lots of time at the local park with friends, we do the library reading program, once a week we do a Scouts activity, plenty of TV, time at the pool, and we go to Six Flags at least once a week.

Is there an age where they'll need to do more focused activities based on whatever they're interested in (sports, or some kind of STEM class, arts, or volunteer thing, etc) in order to dress up a college transcript? I love our chill, aimless sunmers, but I don't want to get to 9th grade and panic because we should have started earlier.

TIL the "Cool" sequence from West Side Story...

... heavily influenced the Michael Jackson "Bad" video! My son found it on YouTube today and now that I've seen West Side Story many times, it was easy to spot the similarities. Apologies if this is common knowledge, but I thought it was interesting.

I was just watching Pop Culture Jeopardy and was very psyched about this team!

I fast-forwarded straight to the "meet the contestants" part so I don't know how they did yet, but Colin Jost did say Tina would be proud of their t-shirt commitment.

Those "fragrance mist hand sanitizers" are a plague

Between kids getting sprayed in the eyes and the whole class smelling like really cheap body spray, I can't WAIT for a achoolwide ban on these things.
