wondering if i have enough chocolate to mentally get me through this weekend

I seriously considered putting in another grocery order just for snacks, but I figure I'll be fine with what I have, though it's gonna be close. I'll be revisiting this decision tomorrow, I'm sure, lol.

I absolutely don't.

 

[genevieve]

does any other country use "heartland" when referencing a geographical area within? random thoughts...

 

[Braulio]

Hi everyone!

 

[MacMadame]

I don't have any pure chocolate but I do have some sea salt chocolate protein bars that are rather tasty. They will have to do at this point.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I forgot to buy chocolate, but there is an oreo dessert sitting in the pantry. Might have to put that together and get it in the fridge.

 

[Karen-W]

Not sure if this first group will give us any whickety-whack, but I know for sure that we'll mark that box off in the 2nd group - thanks Logan Bye!

 

[MacMadame]

does any other country use "heartland" when referencing a geographical area within? random thoughts...

Google says Germany does.

The heartland of Germany refers to both the Ruhr region and Saxony-Anhalt, which are known for their history, culture, and industry.

I bet other countries do too.

Boy I miss when Peacock had a no commentary feed

 

[Amy L]

Yi/Savelev is one of the random marrieds in Colorado aren't they?

 

[MacMadame]

I see cutouts!

“Never enough, never, never. Never enough …”

 

[genevieve]

Ben making the RD theme sound far better than it is - "social dances of the '5s, '60s and '70s" makes more sense than "DANCE PARTY"

 

[Karen-W]

Yi/Savelev is one of the random marrieds in Colorado aren't they?

Yes, they are. But they've moved to Zoueva sometime since the news broke.

 

[MacMadame]

Yi/Savelev is one of the random marrieds in Colorado aren't they?

Wsn't the rink announcer talking about this? (I have trouble making out what she is saying most of the time so could be mistaken.)

 

[peibeck]

Hi Ashley, I'm not looking forward to you "talking ice dance" with Ben. Silence is golden!

 

[Firedancer]

If we have to have commentary, I do generally like Ben for dance

 

[Lanie]

Plane WiFi is crap so Peacock won’t work. First world problems. I’ll just read PBP while eating my candy bar.

Isn't next year's high energy 2000s? That could mean a lot of things

Tell the rest of the people on the plane to stop using the wifi, your need to watch Peacock is paramount, lol.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I want to the bathroom and when I came back, there's a skating highlighter.

 

[Karen-W]

Rumors are that the IDTC may have to nix that due to concerns about music rights clearance.

And it's not Oona this time!
