I have a Lord of the Rings themed tramp stamp that I got when I was 18 (and this was before the movies came out, so that shows you how much of a geek I am). Honestly I still love it. I’ve never been a fan of low rise jeans so basically only my husband sees it, but it was a good location for the design I wanted. I have…

Yeah, the dry eye thing is real. I’ve been wearing contacts since the sixth grade, and over the last five years my eyes have gotten progressively drier. I’ve graduated to the most expensive dailies my doctor provides, which are definitely more comfortable, but I still typically wear my glasses at least once or twice a…

The house next to our previous house was a rental. Most of the neighbors who came and went were fine, with the exception of one family with three kids. The middle kid, who was about 8 at the time, was a brat who was constantly screaming about something. The screaming and crying were constant, and his parents were…

I find the generational trends in tattooing so interesting. You can tell all the Gen X’ers by the fact that the women have tramp stamps and the men have tribal armbands or Chinese characters. The Millennials seem to favor random small tattoos all over, which just reminds me of looking at a sticker book. 

The closer I get to menopause the less tolerance my eyes seem to have for wearing contacts, which sucks, because glasses in general just bug me. I have a good pair that fit great, but I don’t like having shit on my face for some reason. Somehow I just feel less free. 

Same. I wear dailies and usually switch to my glasses a few hours before bedtime just to give my eyes some time to breathe. I’ve never understood how people can sleep in their contacts-I’ve dozed off a handful of times with them in and it’s so damn uncomfortable when you wake up.

Speaking as someone who at a young age was very confused as to why I thought a cartoon was so attractive... that VOICE. It was definitely the voice. 

I’ve never been more happy with my decision to not have children than I am right now. 

I have a co-worker who repeats a particular word in this manner, she probably uses it 100 times in the course of an eight-hour day (it doesn’t help that she never shuts up). She uses it as a crutch when she doesn’t know what else to say, and it’s maddening. It’s gotten to the point where I know exactly when she’s…

Having observed my parents go through the home building process three times, I couldn’t agree with you more. HGTV shows make it look like everything happens overnight, it’s ridiculous. The Tom Hanks movie “The Money Pit” is more realistic. “Two weeks!” indeed. 

I always assumed that instead of Nigel, it was some random teen who saw Nigel with the brie on his way to the house and stole it from him.

I’ve thought about that, but honestly, the whole Stay at Home thing really doesn’t bother me or my husband. We’re both massive introverts who don’t understand why so many people are desperate to get back to socializing. It helps that we don’t have any kids to entertain either, just ourselves, and we’ve got lots of…

What is that about? Our dog is usually fine being by himself most of the day, but since we’ve been confined to the house, he wants CONSTANT attention, and whines when he’s alone for a second. 

I would give this a million stars if I could for The Money Pit reference alone. 

This is spot on. You wouldn’t believe the number of people in my midwest town who still think this is all a hoax, or was engineered by either the Chinese government or our own. A lot of older folks are ignoring social distancing orders because, “I lived through blah, blah, blah, I’ll be fine,” or the “If it’s my time…

“I know you are but what am I” works both ways. 

Honestly, any excuse to look at Aidan Turner is good enough for me. Even if Ross Poldark is an idiot. 

Been in my head since the day he was elected.

I went through the same when Tom Petty died. Sending virtual hugs your way. 

I feel you on this. I have an asymetrical pixie with shaved sides, that’s colored to boot. If I can’t get my hair cut every 4 weeks, things are gonna get pretty crazy. I know it’s a ridiculous concern in the scheme of things, but you’re right, it does make you feel helpless.
