Watching local news is almost as bad. I’m an old who hasn’t given up the habit of watching my local news station every morning, but jesus, are these people driving me crazy. Between the repetition of “we’re all in this together” and the annoying fluff pieces, and the persistent awe of the anchors about “I’m doing this…

Childless person here. I must be the exception, because I’m revealing in my lack of productivity right now, and would encourage anyone else to do the same. My job has been deemed essential, but during my time off I’m feeling no shame in spending the majority of my free time reading and watching way too many movies/TV.

Jesus christ. I have a few Christmas ornaments handed down to me from my grandparents that I cherish. If some bitch stole them and then had the gall to pretend that they were hers I think I might risk a night in jail.

Is anyone else as sick of hearing all the COVID-19 platitudes as I am? Trying times, difficult times, uncertain times... and my absolute least favorite, “We’re all in this together.”

I’ve thought about eventually getting something in Tengwar too, I love the look of it. 

I work in local government, and couldn’t have said it better. The lack of empathy I’m seeing right now from the people in power at the local level in my red state is astounding. It’s truly profits over people. 

My parents are Boomers, and they both had tattoos before I did. It was useful ammo for when I went to get my first. Hell, by the time I got my 4th tattoo mom and dad came to the studio with me.

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.
