Yep. For homebrew, it’s about 5oz of corn sugar to a 5-gallon brew. Except for that one time when I weighed it wrong and had explosions from over-carbonation. Whoops!

When I was a baby, my parents were told to introduce solid foods one color at a time to see if any allergic reactions were present. So they turned me orange (accidentally) and found that so hilarious, they tried to see if other food color groups would turn me other colors.

That’s such a weird take for the manager to have. Like “here, good sir, I am LITERALLY HANDING YOU GOBS OF CASH.”

I screamed out loud and stomped my feet when I saw that.

Only 3 times in 10 years? You are luckier than you know. I see the guys in suits with clipboards at my Kroger 2-3 times per year.

They are CANCELLING THE MAIL in some places. I’d say that is extreme enough for Billy Bob’s Burger Barn to close, too.

My Target just did a radical remodel and not only do I hate the shit out of it, but it literally GAVE ME ANXIETY to go in there while they were doing it. I haaaaaaaaaate it. HAAAAATE.
[am v. dramatic about my retail situations, it’s true]

I love a paper list!

It’s all fun and games until the store decides to rearrange the aisles. My Wegmans has done this to me three times in the past ten years and that sounds like I’m being dramatic but YEAH I’M BEING DRAMATIC.

I grew up poor, and spent my 20s less poor - but still broke. It’s only now, in my mid-40s, that I can pay ALL the bills, on time, and not have that heart-squeezing feeling of “what did I forget to pay” when there is more than $3.65 left in the checking account.

That’s like saying “OH MY GOD I LOVED NEW COKE.” Or “the Edsel was my favorite car.”

“Look at what you made me do”

I found out that was real and literally said “but why?” over and over for about five solid minutes.

Seriously. I have a 12-year-old girl and I love her to the moon and back but she is fucking nuts.

Oh, another #NotAllMen comment! COOL.

Ah, I was waiting for the #NotAllMen folks to show up!

but having a near-stranger call/text nonstop weeks (or months or years) after being rejected is just an normal aspect of dating life.

Hmmmmm is there an “equal” story about women for EVERY TIME?

Sure, call it naive if you’d rather. It’s gross because this is 2019 and none of this information should be surprising. Google also exists, which you could easily try, thus lifting the burden off of the women who are answering you and doing that emotional work for you. 

Because men can’t take rejection. I have worked in the alcohol industry and have spent A LOT of time in bars, usually on my own for one reason or another. Men hit on me all the time regardless of how cute/hagtastic I looked. They’d send over drinks. They’d sit *right* next to me, despite 15 open seats at the bar.…
