My little sister had a guinea pig named Pepper who would drink soda from a glass and eat Froot Loops and bologna & cheese sandwiches.  Rather unironically, said guinea pig became diabetic.

Dude, me too.  Lived in Germany from 1982 - 1984 and traveled through the British Isles at that time.  Regrettable, since I carry one gene for hemachromatosis and it would be super if I could unload some of this borderline high iron blood.  

I do nearly all the cooking in my household and ALWAYS clean as I go. I prefer a clean work area and feel more organized when I put things up after I use them - that knife and cutting board is in my way, I’m done with the carton of chicken broth and jarred garlic, those potato peels and pepper innards can go straight…

I’m a long-time turtle supporter and I approve this post! But I concur with the warning re: picking up large snapping turtles - I had to move one out of the road just a few weeks ago and found out they can claw the ever-loving shit out of you. I drove back home wrapped in napkins and dripping blood. I recommend a pair…

I second the Mexican Coke nomination. They used to sell Coke syrup in a bottle at the drugstore, and while I’m not sure if that was the intended use, it worked as a great nausea treatment for me as a kid.

Butterscotch chips in oatmeal cookies are the bomb.  Remember oatmeal scotchies?  Really excellent with just a touch of orange extract.

“Ichorous goo” - perfection.

I remember sitting in a dark room in a high chair, in front of a black & white television set, applying cold alphabet soup to my head.  My parents were in the kitchen.  

Salt WILL NOT stick to dry popcorn.  It needs a little butter or spray of oil (even cooking spray) to make the seasoning stick.

I love your shoes, Claire.

One sm pkg orange jello

My maternal grandmother also made an orange Jello salad like this that was saved for Thanksgiving, we called it “Granny salad” after the torch was passed to me. I’m an old, it was frequently served with a dollop of Miracle Whip on top! Absolute nostalgia on a fork.

My mom has been a life-long member and is definitely left leaning, I’ve been an intermittent member and lousy participant. Never detected any type of political slant in any meetings or gatherings I attended (last one was about a year ago). They do have interesting speakers at the gatherings, and I’ve met some…

I got pretty good at that flat footed deep squat while practicing the Bradley Method for childbirth.  It came in handy ;)

Use a fake email address

Ha, we used to get these on the main email for our small office; they accused the recipient of masturbating wildly at their desk and threatened sending captured video of such to everyone in their contact list unless we paid!  Extra hilarious considering the woman manning the email was a 65 year old grandmother who sat…

I live in Wisconsin north of Milwaukee and recommend 1) layers 2) some form of long underwear (I like washable silk, fits easily under clothing) and 3) a temp rated coat, Lands End makes some good ones.  I have one, my teen daughter has one, and my 20 yo son going to school in Minnesota has one.

Look at me, holy shit that freaked me out.  Loved the haunted truck story too.

Don’t know why my comment was deleted - Close-Up toothpaste is cinnamon flavored, quite tasty
