I was one of those unbudgeable kids, except I’ve been a night owl since I was in utero. My mom says I became super active around 11 pm, and wouldn’t relax until 3 a.m. as a fetus. Still true.

As a woman who likes beardy men, this man is disappointing. He looks like a fucking asshole because he is a fucking asshole. I’m housemates with a veteran Marine, he had knee surgery recently. He would have been doing a lot more than filming his escape, even on crutches. This guy is unworthy of our attention

He has thin legs, proportionally. I hope that’s cuts to his weak, thin bones.

I’ve lived in metro Detroit, and my husband’s family is Lebanese-Italian-American. There is a very large Lebanese community, but it is mixed between Maronite Catholics and Muslims, and it seems those communities don’t mix much except when at Lebanese restaurants.

I posted this to someone else in another thread, but we seem to have similar work situations : “My job involves helping clients with long term professional goals, so some of these people I’ve been speaking with three times a week, for five or six years. I know all about their vacations, kids in college, who is having…

I understand. My job involves helping clients with long term professional goals, so some of these people I’ve been speaking with three times a week, for five or six years. I know all about their vacations, kids in college, who is having affairs and financial trouble because they kind of confess it to me. I am not a…

I’m a Michigander, and I think you’re right about Maine. All my relatives up there are quiet people and it’s hard to get them to talk with me. I’m pretty damn introverted, and I noticed. I’ve learned to just appreciate drinking coffee next to them without more than a few words being exchanged. Also they all seem…

I’m a big gardener, so I would really hate to cut all my plants down on that side of the yard, especially since they are native pollinator habitat and bird food. I found a way around it, and I’m going to put three foot tall hardware mesh up with stakes around my plantings so my dog can’t get in. I can easily check…

I’m sure humidity makes a difference, along with all the other differences. I can’t speak about gardening anywhere else, unfortunately. In Michigan, the humidity in summer is at roughly 40-70%, while for indoors they recommend 40-50%. So yes, Michigan is much more humid than what you are dealing with, and the…

I’m a renter, so yes, I do want to move after these incidents with the crazy guy. My husband and I have talked about what we want in a house and have contacted a real estate agent in our area we like, but we would be first time home buyers and it’s a lot to do. After living in this house for three years and knowing…

I put my houseplants outside for the summer, and yes, a few leaves do get burned. Aloes in particular will look dead, but they are fine and bounce back in a month easily. I’ve had a few mother-in-laws-tongue leaves bleach out too, but I just cut them off. Doing this may seem kind of harsh, but it is also the only…

May I just continue the things that piss us off thread...

Right now, my neighbors on one side are making me want to move, so I would not take that for granted!

I take my houseplants outside during the summer months, and I bring them inside ideally when the outdoor temperatures are the same as the indoor temperatures. I managed to do that on time this year and I’m happy, but my plants always get a little droopy and sad at first from the shock of different light levels. As…

My husband pulled this once when we were dating. I started including an arrow at the bottom so he would know there was more, and it worked. No excuse now.

That would make me bitchy too. You’re fine. I just send my husband a picture of the grocery list if I discover he’s there (like I text to ask if he is on his way home yet). He’s not getting out of that so easily.

I’m a dog person, but pic number two is very cute. You got me to say Aww out loud, so bravo.

I’m working on a bone wreath for Halloween. I don’t eat meat, but my housemates do, so I’ve been hoarding their chicken and turkey bones in the freezer for about a year. I finally simmered off all the fleshy bits and now they are soaking inhydrogen peroxideto further white and defunk them. Once they dry out for a…
