Things I hadn’t heard before. The ref messed up the Wrestlemania 35 finale (Becky / Ronda /Flair) - Will Hunting Jul 30, 09:26 6

  - We probably still won't learn it for a couple of years, but I'm confident it was sour grapes from Rousey. Becky just destroyed her on social media. - David Jul 30, 09:43 1
    - This was a spectacular kill shot. -- (link) - Tim Jul 30, 09:59

- not optimal, but maybe order for pickup at a local florist and run out after dropping her and your daughter at the airbnb? -- nm - decline Jul 30, 08:55 4
  - I fear it will be too late. I don't expect we will get to Valpo until late in the evening (7-8pm) -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:55 3
    - ok, while on the drive slip her a couple of ambien so she takes a nap and you can stop on the way and pick something up and hide in the back for a bit -- nm - decline Jul 30, 08:57 2
      - yeesh. "slip someone an ambien" is your answer for *everything*! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 30, 08:58 1
