You were right to misunderstand because what they are describing is in no way, shape or form a potluck!

Homemade mushroom cream sauce IS super easy! I make it for green bean casserole using chicken broth and another variation for Swedish meatballs using beef broth and sour cream and another version using beef broth but no sour cream for my spruced up but still trashy Salisbury steak (though that one is less cream sauce…

Yeah I had a Reuben for lunch and a chicken sope and a row of lemon Oreos for dinner. The sandwich and sope were good but I had no hand in their creation.

I googled it. I couldnt find a single thing to suggest this is true.

Hmm...source? Because I just Googled it and couldn’t find a single thing to suggest that.

I went to school with a kid named Grey Bear. His parents were dirty hippies.

Yeah I would definitely end up pissing on myself.

That's incredible. Thank you for sharing.

I have never but not because I’m a classy lady or anything (I’ve peed next to dumpsters in bar parking lots) but because I am a total klutz and know I would end up falling off the sink and peeing all over myself.

That sounds way more fun than actually going to prom, which I did twice and it sucked both times, the second time a little less than the first because my date was my gay best friend instead of the boring guy I’d gone with the year before. Still a total waste of my parents’ money.

My grandma had Alzheimer’s (which would be fairly obvious to anyone talking to her for even a short period of time) and she never got scammed by anything like what is described in this article, but she definitely got taken advantage of by several legitimate charities. This was before auto-pay was really a thing.…

The people I knew who did it (Mexican lottery scam out of Costa Rica) were all sociopaths who proudly bragged about it.

Yeah when I worked for a shady telemarketing company we setup a call center in Costa Rica for the cheap labor. We were still an American company and technically doing nothing illegal but several of my employees were American expatriot sociopaths who had worked the Mexican lottery scam or for huge illegal bookie…

I worked setting up a call center in Costa Rica for a telemarketing company and amonh my employees were some of the charming individuals who work these jobs. I only made it 6 months. Our product was totally worthless and the company was shady as fuck and though the sales scripting and advertising was intentionally…

I grew up in California but went to elementary school on the Air Force base my mom taught on which was populated by a lot of southern and Midwest transplants and also military so very conservative, and I got told I was going to hell all the time until I learned that it was better to just lie and say yes when kids ask…

I’ always felt that chocolate labs are the least stupid of the labs. I think they might be less likely to inbred, but that's just speculation. Yellow labs are by far the dumbest.

Yeah our friends’ dog ate 47 Cadbury eggs with the wrappers and he was fine.

Exactly. Our cat went through a period where he enjoyed peeing in the corners of the bedroom and everyone knows there is no more toxic liquid than cat pee. No matter what we use to clean it up, no matter how many times we steam clean the carpets, the room is always going to smell a little bit like cat pee. He also…

No, I get it. I sent my friend this story and her response was, “It makes for a cute story, but I’m really glad that’s not my dog. I’m not normally for getting rid of dogs, but in a case like that, I’d seriously consider it.” And I see her point, but if this was my dog, I'd worry he wouldn't be easily rehomeable, what…

I know this wasn't really your point, but labs actually have super high tolerance to pain. They usually have to be sedated while recovering from surgery or else they'll frolic all over the place and rip their stitches out because they can't feel it. So they're like those kids in more than one way.
