Yeah I HATE when people call any little stomach bug or cold the flu. I had the flu in spring of 2012 and I will NOT forget it.

Chocolate malt + piping hot fries (no ketchup!)= delight.

Ugh. There’s this mentality that new always equals better. The previous owner of my 1873 house replaced the wood floors in all but two rooms with Pergo and listed that as an improvement!! I had the two remaining rooms refinished for a very reasonable cost and the pine floor looks stunning. Literally, people gasp. I…

Yeah I don’t want cooking grease on my grandma’s painting in the living room thanks!

Yes, Milwaukee is horribly segregated. But it’s funny that Portland never gets that title even though there were literally laws on the books keeping black people out. Can’t be segregated if you don’t have many black people to begin with! It’s ignorant to say that racism is a geographical thing- it plays out all over…

Well, that’s a bit harsh. Wisconsin has blue cities and red burbs/rural areas just like most places not on the east or west coast. Milwaukee’s demographics are not unlike Detroit. Do you think they’re trash?

I think I speak for all owners of *actual* fixer uppers when I say, thank god.

Pacific Northwest has had some wildfire issues as of late, and Alaska has a very limited amount of habitable area.

I get up long before I really have to so that I can always have coffee before I interact with other humans. Like, I do not leave the house before coffee. I don’t understand how other caffeine addicts somehow get to work or get on the road before having theirs.

I’m sorry it must be dusty in here or something...

They do. It’s just not funny or clever to point it out.

Lol tea and coffee are relatively new on the scene in the western world and the germ theory of disease didn’t come along until the nineteenth century, so no one during say, the Iron Age or Middle Ages would have known to boil water to make it safe.

Yup, everyone says the wedding is “about” the bride but she sure as shit is the only one who doesn’t get to enjoy it.

Yep, our house is about perfect for us- there’s a weird closet room that could probably be properly finished (like heated) and then we’d probably be golden. Also we have an unfinished basement, so we do get to keep a bit of extra “stuff” in the way of holiday decorations and camping gear.

It’s just... fun? Interesting? To do the calculations.

Haha obviously many times the house of any normal person.

Just me and husband, and a dog and a cat, no kids. And it came with a big yard, so we spend a lot of time outside.

30 times mine! Yeah, my house is small...

Exactly. Frankly the rain/flooding can be worse with a tropical storm or depression because they don’t move as fast.

I still sometimes feel this way on Sundays, and I even like my job.
