This dress was everything. I remember wearing some crushed velvet stuff in middle school thinking it was the peak of fancy. I never did have a crushed velvet mini dress though. I was wildly insecure in my body all the way through high school. Eric Matthews being in this movie was the BEST. Had a huge crush on him at…

My husband has a nut allergy. He’s been putting out a teal pumpkin when he’d help at his parents’ house for trick-or-treating. We bought our first house this year and we’ve got a teal pumpkin bucket and allergy-friendly Halloween sign in the yard. Our candy this year is allergen-friendly and we also have some non-food…

I’m a 33 year old adult and still get night terrors. I never remember them but anyone who is sleeping with me or around me sure does. I’ve often pointed to things in the corner, shouting, screaming bloody murder, etc. It’s INSANE.

Yours is my favorite so far. CREEPY!

100% this. My husband is severely allergic to peanuts/tree nuts. AND pea protein! And sunflower seeds. Everybody on the nut train in every freaking food anymore is exhausting! 

I adored Hill House. Bly Manor didn’t work as much for me. I’m going to watch this one though, for sure.

I love kimchi so much. I eat it on work from home days.

When we moved into our new house in April, I did a deep clean of the main kitchen fridge. It was horrible and I had to use gloves and I spent a ton of time on it. I haven’t really cleaned it since. The fridge the owners left downstairs in the storage area, on the other hand, makes me nervous. They left old beer in…

This unlocked a visceral memory of seeing a huge, transparent box of these in the principal’s office in my elementary school. I remember collecting the box tops but I stopped after elementary, I think. This also just makes me think of Book It and Pizza Hut.

We wrote a letter. I wasn’t sure if we should but honestly, the market was so insane in January 2021 when we were looking. The sellers really responded positively to it... but of course, it still came down to money too. I don’t know how many bids there were total on the house but we did win. It felt good.

8th grade me had, by Thanksgiving of that year, written in my diary that I’d purchased some kind of anti-Bin Laden pin. What did I do? Pin it on my backpack to show off to my fellow middle school peers? 9/11 and all that came with it was so fucked.

Tried this over the weekend in a fit of tipsy ordering. My sandwich came on a sad, soft tortilla and the chicken was the size of a nugget, basically. With some sauce. A far cry from whatever they’re advertising it as.

You ever been through infertility? Or even just... wanted something but it took months, even years, to get it? And even then... at that year mark, there was no guarantee it would ACTUALLY happen for you but other people think you’re selfish for bothering trying??

Also they require 5 pints minimum. Nah.

I devoured Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging in 1999. I was about 12 or 13, and I couldn’t believe how FUNNY the book was. I remember reading passages out loud to a friend of mine and we’d just be snort laughing the entire time. It was so wonderful. I never did pursue the rest of the series and I kind of want to…

Did you ever go to North Country Brewing? Or Bob’s subs? I had friends at SRU. It was only 40 minutes from my hometown.

On-campus: a glorious restaurant called Steak Escape that was in our student union. Fluffy Belgian waffles from the waffle maker.

I would never ever consider my parents toxic - but my Dad did compare me a LOT to my friends in high school. He’s a VERY smart dude, valedictorian of college for gods sake... but I just wasn’t at that level and didn’t want to be. That used to bother me, feeling like maybe I was disappointing him a little. I’ve since…

YumEarth he’s had. Undercover looks interesting. Free2Be is out - he also is allergic to sunflower seeds! We do WOWButter in our house... no sun butters.

The allergy space is garbage. My husband’s allergic to nuts and there is so little in way of treats he can eat. The 4U sounded promising but they aren’t nut free, which bums me out. He’s done Enjoy Life and those are blah to him. Vermont Nut Free Chocolate is great, but very pricy! Divvie’s is a good brand too for…
