Daijoubu! You’re so welcome!

You’ll be fine! Smile a lot, nod your head politely (like a lil bow), and point to things. They’re used to tourists who don’t speak Japanese. They’ll be pleased if you bother to learn off “please excuse me, I don’t speak Japanese”* or “do you speak English?”**. Many restaurants have plastic fake food at the front that…

Safe and Fabulous travels and adventures!    

I’m being induced on Monday!!! Now soliciting all last-minute tips\reassurance\tricks\things you wish you knew!

Last week I shared on SNS how my friend of decades(and my ex) had a massive heart attack. This morning, my talented, frustrating, loving, goofball friend died. He had conquered addictions in his past, but cigarettes never loosened their grip. Connected to tubes and surrounded by devastated family is a shitty way to go,…

Perhaps not pickles but I could see this as being delicious with another salty component, inside. Caramel, perhaps, with the chocolate on the outside containing a scattering of Himalayan sea salt. And no sugary white filling.

I think they are popular because they provide an aesthetic the restaurant wants, but also are uncomfortable enough to keep people moving and keep their turn over numbers high

Shadow is the best. Full stop.

When I’ve had a rough day and I come home and my 75 pound dog jumps on me, I take a step back, put my hands behind my back, look her in the eyes and say “No.” in a calm but firm manner.

I’m pretty sure that pets own humans.

...then dogs literally wouldn’t exist.

Honestly, it was less taxing than I expected. It was a lot of thinking and putting logical thoughts together, and a lot of work and anxiety, but listen: you’ve listened and thought through logic chains and what ifs for the past three years. You’ve had to think on the fly, when you got called on. There’s nothing that’s…

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really see her calling Gorusch/Beer Baron “very decent” and “very smart” as being an indication that she likes or agrees with either. I actually read it more as kind of a back-handed compliment, because a) “decent” is kind of a low bar to clear, and b) they’re SC justice, I’d hope…

Look, I get it that it would be satisfying to tell the newly hired clod of dirt and beer coozie that their main qualifications were being dumb in the right way and appealing to the bucket of Crisco that hired them, but even when you could technically do that without repercussion, it’s still necessary to work with…

Maybe don’t take random events personally?

I get it and yet I am baffled by it. I’m 39, I’ve dealt with body dysmorphia/my eating disorder/suicide attempts, and yet I would have been like, “YAY, FREE SNACK!” I just ordered from them a few weeks ago and they sent me a free razor with my stuff and I was not triggered, but to each her own, I guess. They should…

This. They were probably sent with ALL the orders, and it’s only the plus size people who assumed it was an insult directed at them.

Click bait trash

I cannot believe people got mad over this. Amazing. Truly amazing.

Title seems a little disingenuous. Implies it’s limited to plus size orders, but provided no evidence that such is the case. Kind of a major distinction if only plus size orders are receiving diet bar as opposed to every order.
