Nah. As others have said, the sell-by date is not something to go by for anything; generally your sense of smell is going to take care of that for you. On the (extremely rare) occasion I’ve ever had milk in the house expire either before the date or before I could finish it, I could always tell just by it smelling…
To further enrage the commentariat, I drink milk with ice in it.
The answer, dear reader, is because I love milk and drink it as much as possible which some people think is gross and weird for an adult but is actually healthy and good for teeth and bones.
That would be rather close quarters! I typically have plenty of contact with strangers in the outside world through work (which is bookselling/retail, mostly), but every now and then I can end up spending too much time alone/in my own head, if I don’t watch it. I think it’s always tricky to find a good balance! Or…
This is the sweetest reply, bless you. I am sending you e-hugs for it, thank you. (Just turned 31 last month, so I figure if this is supposed to be a better decade than the one prior — and all my older friends have always insisted on that, so I’ll choose to take their word for it — I’ve still got plenty of it left to…
I feel you. Though I’ve never really dated anyone, or had any sort of “normal” relationship (as I’ve mentioned on other posts here and there, I seem to be undatable, and have always been thus, even now going into my 30s), I’ve still run into similar problems in my own relationships. Particularly this:
I had a fun evening last night! A solo one, as pretty much nearly all my evenings are, but whatever, about time to get used to it, I’m in my 30s now and nothing is changing. But it was just starting to move toward perfect fall weather (favorite!), and I had the time and the wiggle room, so I just went for it.
I’ve never been anything other than, ultimately, ghosted by men when attempting online dating (and this is an issue that crosses platforms). Which, yeah, is basically why I gave up. What the hell is the point?
What a sweet sentiment. I concur!
Men are pretty much never interested in me (again, apparently I intimidate most of them, which is pretty ridiculous, but whatever), so I’m not the best one to ask for advice. They seem fine being friends with me, here and there, but if any of them have the slightest interest in more, they certainly never communicate…
Just sending hugs, because I worry about the same things already. :(
This is the first time I’ve felt any interest in this show, so thanks for the write-up! If it can capture anything of the perfect mood, as it pertains to law enforcement, investigation, and the criminology of the era as Zodiac did, then it really does have potential to be great. Also:
I’ve reached a no-fucks-given stage at this point where, when being hassled or harassed in public (typically walking along Hollywood Blvd., though there have certainly been other areas), I’ll just literally fucking scream at a dude. I don’t care who hears or sees or how crazy it makes me seem. They always seem…
This is so horrible to read and watch happening. Being a native Southern Californian, this was the stuff of my nightmares as a kid, which I’m sure must be partly regional: I was always terrified of our house burning down. I can’t imagine what grappling with the reality would be like.
I don’t have much of a problem getting a date
Nah, even just thinking about dating at this point exhausts me. I’m pretty introverted, and apparently weirdly picky about men, but in that way you can’t really control (i.e. you can’t do much about who/what you’re attracted to). I’ve tried OKC (NIGHTMARE) and Tinder, but they’ve both yielded exactly 0 worthwhile…
That sounds about right. No idea how I’m going to handle inevitably hitting a full calendar year, but I’m sure at this point it’s coming. Trying not to think about it!
...Do you honestly believe that men who behave this way were somehow better toward women, or held better beliefs and attitudes, but simply “broke” because they... What, got too old? (Did you miss the part where the woman who says he groped her is speaking to an incident from decades ago? How old do these dudes have to…
I’m at 9+, and with no end in sight. How many millions does that feel like by now? I can’t count that high.
