There’s one reason to buy new stuff, that being you don’t have that stuff. When I bought my house, I moved in with like two folding chairs and a card table. I eventually bought stuff, and that stuff is all 10-12 years old now. Unfortunately, my kids have murdered my poor Interior Define couch (that I bought before they existed), and so a new couch will come eventually.
I dunno, I’m American and I can tell them apart. I can essentially understand the Brits, kinda understand the Scots, almost understand the Irish, and the Welsh are completely unintelligible.
I’m from Jersey, which I call the California of the East coast (just tiny), and despite our size, the differences between north, central, south, northwest, west, Hudson/Essex, shore, are all incredibly well defined. I always get a kick out of folks from outside the US lumping all of us together. Like, I can’t even lump myself in with people 50 miles in literally any direction.
Yeah that’s me. I tested and had it, back in January 2021, when my whole family had it. No symptoms for me. I always say I never get sick, but I’m fairly confident I’m just a disease vector at this point and I just never get symptomatic. My kids will bring stuff home from school, my wife will get it, and fortunately I’m able to just carry on.
Do the medals mean anything? I did the military thing and have some medals and ribbons, and they each have specific meaning. Anyone can look at a picture and go to a wikipedia article and basically see when I served, what I did, etc. Are these just decoration? The US military is pretty active (unfortunately). I don’t exactly see North Korea getting out there and fighting wars in the same fashion, so as to warrant such well decorated members.
Neither does mozzarella but who doesn’t love dipping fried and breaded mozzarella fingers into some marinara.
Fingers are for sticking in something, including but not limited to mouth.
I love being awake and hanging out with my kids. But if they’re at school and I have a free hour, I’m taking a nap, because they definitely make me tired.
It doesn’t have the same ring, you know? And 911 being the emergency number here in the US, it was a real double whammy for us way back then.
That’s barely enough room for spaghetti! I won’t stand for this!
The fork is the part that bothers me the most. So much handle, so little tine.
Was with you til the end there. I use the personal blocklist extension, and I got it specifically for pinterest. It’s grown to include others, but Pinterest was the beginning.
Yeah, my wife scooped up two black cats off the street and brought them home 12 years ago. One, Rudi (RIP) was the temperamental one, she would come lay on your lap but if you brushed her too many times she’d get pissed off. The other, Bruce Willis, is the coolest motherfucker alive, a real credit to his namesake. Rudi might go as far as my porch, but Bruce is a neighborhood wanderer.
That being said, Bruce has been in fights with other animals many times sometimes winning, sometimes losing, always really loud and in the middle of the night and I have to wake up and sort things out. Rudi got in one fight because we forgot her on the porch. Poor Rudi. She would later swallow something and it killed her. She was a pain in the ass but we still loved her.
Well, gonna be real gay when that transgender protagonist is now in a romantic scene with a dude.
I didn’t realize skeptical (sceptical) had North American (British) variations. That’s my learning for today!
I will say that Surfsides aren’t bad, but generally I’m not a fan of any of them.
And I feel like when I first started drinking, 15, 16 years old, drinks with flavor were easier to consume. As drinking progressed, those were the drinks I avoided like the plague. I haven’t had a long island iced tea since I was 21 or 22.
And that’s not to say there aren’t well crafted cocktails that taste good, but none of them taste like a coke.
Are you my mom? Are you going to call me when that post-it note disappears and ask me if, for some reason, I know what your password is?
My wife takes our kids frequently as well. I’m good for one trip a year, but in much more focused in my shopping than they are.
But it’s this book or OP has nothing to read for the flight. That’s a tough choice, and I know I’m settling on pedo normalization, but I’m not gonna be happy about it.
I agree for some furniture, but I’m not buying used couches. I see couches roadside with a “free” sign from time to time, and I just shudder thinking about what’s happened on that couch.
