Wait, I'm late to the party- where did aldultosaur go???!!!

as an historian, I thought I might have had to jump in here and correct this ignorance, but I see that you have it covered.

putting the wet things back on!!!!

not me! People here are always complaining about the lack of good drinking water from the tap and I'm always like, "I grew up with delicious well water from the pnw and I will pay $45/ month for a water service in exchange for never having SAD again!

That's true.

Yeah- east of the mountains is a totally different place! Dry, cold (hot in summer).

ahhhh. I will never take this weather for granted! I actually was born here and was a little kid here, and always wanted to come back! Thanks for the welcome! I'm just going to sit outside and cry of happiness and then drink some pink wine in celebration! My husband always wants to go back to the NW, and Ive…

oh, God- wet cotton! I remember being a little kid at school back when those knit pattern cotton tights were a thing and every day I wore them my legs were just water-logged all day long. And muddy. The constant mud! In college, I just wore cotton pajamas to school with those Duckie boots and some oversized cheap coat…

see? I pondered this solution but I felt like I already had too many things to carry around in and keep track of (I'm good at losing shit) in order to switch costumes between my indoor and outdoor life. I just wanted some futuristic umbrella that was like a little tiny stick, and you push the Jetson's button and it…

Right?! Clammy sweat on top of it. Which then cools once you're inside so you're still cold from cold sweat. And I never wore blouses to work because of that exact situation and the ensuing pit stains. like, I'm freezing cold, my fingers are blue, and I'm pitting out. Just doesn't seem right.

I really feel like I should have a more interesting response to these than just the repetitive chorus of "OMG! THESE ARE THE BEST! THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK! MAKE MORE!" But that's all I can keep thinking. I lovelovelove.

Growing up in the pacific NW, I feel like keeping warm is really difficult, even though the temperatures don't drop that low. That's because it's always 40 degrees and raining and that wet means that you are cold-to-the-bone and can't warm up! There never seemed to be anything completely adequate for that situation.…

After having worked in different high schools for years and quitting in disgust, I can tell you that the large majority of US high school educators are immature wannabe cool kids with aggressively mediocre intelligence and slaves to status quo thinking.

had I grown up learning about your version of heaven instead of the catholic one, I might not have ended up an atheist.

Okay, I definitely disagree that any sweatpants would be worth $200, but that said, I would love these ones (for $30).

I concur!

haha, yes! The stretched out, destroyed necks of shirts.

you might have a good grasp of science, but the skill of cultural commentary seems to elude you.

I love this series.

I know others have already responded to you, but you cannot be fully vaccinated against most diseases until you are 18 months old, and some you have to be 4. Also important (and often misunderstood), vaccination is not an impenetrable force field for the individual. It only works as a collective action. Whooping cough…
