I had a coworker like that! There’s a huge list of why he was a shit ass person, but my hatred of him all summed down to him repeatedly making jokes about wanting to blow his head off every time he was the slightest bit frustrated in our first sit down. On his first day - his first few hours even. My brother DID blow…

I finished a marathon painting of my house! 1300sf, all done (granted, I left the bathrooms their original color and did the bedrooms when I moved in). I went from this sickly gray color everywhere to a nice cream color, with a happy green accent wall above my stairs, two chalkboard walls, and a cool blue/teal color…

Extra points for Gryffindor for somehow working a portkey in.

In this same vein, I’m a big fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation and I had the thought lately that there is nothing ever mentioned/shown of 24th century methods of relieving oneself. Each of the quarters on the ship has a little vanity area and they have to manually wash/dry their hands, but ain’t nobody seem to…

I switched to a cash system for in-person purchasing needs years ago and I credit it to being a HUGE factor in paying off a load of credit card debt. It makes impulse purchases sting a bit more since the money you’re looking at is real and it’s also supposed to buy you groceries for the week. It really does help!

I’m throwing a pool party and BBQ if I ever get married.  People can come dressed as they see fit, ‘cuz I’ll probably be in shorts, and it’ll be just fine.

It comes in handy, like on airplanes and nobody judges you for climbing on things. 

In all fairness, a compelling reason to buy my Fit was that I could comfortably sleep in it should I become homeless (or, more commonly, pretend to be homeless aka go camping). Were it not for me being 5'-2" I’d also need the camper conversion.

It’s not my thing but my brother was going on about it :)  We’re going to look at making dipping sauces eventually and I imagine a chocolate one will happen.

I’d call it more waves, but it could be interpreted as clouds :)

Yeah! Crafts!

I’d say he’s average. His dad* is an idiot though. I’d put it more down to him being an overly emotional person who gets attached to things.

My mom finally had to tell my little brother at 10, and I think he’d still cry about it ten years later if you brought it up.  He was devastated.

I could make use of all three ;)

I can get behind this as well.

The snooze for 30 days feature also comes in handy around November 1st when friends start posting incessantly about everything they’re thankful for.  I mean, I try to be a grateful person, but I don’t feel the need to broadcast my individual gratitudes to my social network.

Make sure you have explained what you want to happen when you die.

I hear ya - I’m not a fan of it all (call me Scrooge, I don’t care). Now that my little nephew is living with me for a bit I’ve inherited his belief in these things and it’s been an interesting process. Fortunately he doesn’t seem to be obsessed and I’ve found tactful deflections when he brings this stuff up, but I…

This has been a funny story - sometimes I sleep great with my dog in the bed, and sometimes I sleep like crap and she gets banished to her doggy bed for a month. It seems to largely depend on if she feels like draping herself horizontally across me and the bed or with her butt in my face.

I missed you last week! I had creations!
