I know a lot of terrible things have happened in the south (yes, every in the US but the south seems particularly bad) but some small part of me loves small southern towns. I love the fact that I can talk to anyone in the tine town my dad's family is from and they ALL know my late grandmother. I needed to order a…

I stand corrected on this. I actually think you can get fabulous food in small towns. It may not be gourmet but damn if it's not tasty.

Or people who say ink pen.

That wasn't casual racism. It was casual stupidity.

I only go to Cracker Barrel to access Southern-type food up north (i.e., sweet tea, hush puppies, etc.). And to hang out in the gift shop.

The Midwest is waaay to big to generalize. There also doesn't seem to be a consensus on what exactly constitutes the Midwest.

Sympathy star!

I see a pale blue/violet and brown/bronze too!

I do too! It's light blue and bronze to me.

Please be my shopping buddy. I also make a yearly pilgrimage to the outlet mall. I hate shopping and I'm cheap so I try to get it over with at one time.

I'm in Cleveland.

Those just cover their hair though, right? I'm trying to cover my face, ears, neck as much as possible but I need to get past my hair first.

Huh.I love scarfs but never thought about using them like that but that's a really good idea.

Good searching! I've checked out Amazon and never found this. This might get me through this winter.

I think this might be the way to go. It needs to be loose enough to navigate over my head without smooshing my hair but able to keep out brutal wind. :/

We rented a cabin in the finger lakes for a friend of mine. Short hikes, canoeing, wine tasting - it was inexpensive and fun.

I have a big ol' puffy afro . . . anyone have any suggestions for some sort head covering? A regular knit hat doesn't fit over all this hair. I've tried the "stretchy" headband things but I can barely get those over my hair and then they aren't big enough to provide any real warmth (much of my forehead is exposed and…

OMG, this gif makes me laugh til I cry. Every time.

Oh, I think she looks terrible in these photos. I mean, just look at those pimples and wrinkles!

I'm just really, really committed to a warm and tasty breakfast sandwich to start my day. :) It's cheaper and healthier to make it myself and it really is faster that assembling the pieces separately.
