I am 100% convinced Paw Patrol exists in the same universe as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

In hindsight, one of the early signs my grandma was suffering from dementia was her freakout about brown spiders. She had killed some small bug she found in her room, and because she was on blood thinners and squished the bug bare handed, she had a bruise on her finger.

Seriously-I don’t know what magic Beth Broderick was using but she looks AMAZING!

I noticed this too-you could honestly drop the entire plot of most of the episodes into any random time period and it would still hold up well. It’s just universally GOOD. 

Middle eastern-I used to eat them all the time as a kid. Makes me insanely sad that my kid is deathly allergic to sesame and will never know the weird textural/flavor experience of Halvah. 

All I know is that now I have a powerful craving for halvah. 

I was convinced as a child that vampires were going to eat me. My solution was to sleep with the covers wrapped completely around my head so only my mouth was free to breath. I slept like that even in summertime-it didn’t matter how hot it was, if my neck was exposed I couldn’t sleep out of fear I was going to get…

But did you try the thin crust DiGiorno? For some odd reason it’s the only frozen pizza my 5 year old will eat. 

1) I am one of the weirdos who loves candy corn, but because it is so unloved, it’s hard to find in anything other than ginormous bags. I just want like a tiny amount of candy corn, because my family crest is an angry pancreas and diabetes meds. (Seriously-my father, grandfather, and two great uncles all had/have type…

Chiming in-my son is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. He’s still little, so we do most of the planning and talking for him.

I just checked-Livingston mall, which IIRC isn’t far from Madison, has both a Spencers AND a Hot Topic. And a Sears. It’s like the mall that retail forgot.

Agreed 100%. If I’m paying by card I’ll probably hit 10-15% on the little prompt, but if I’m paying cash and it’s, say, $4.10, I’ll pay with a 5 and toss the remaining .90 in the tip jar, which is more of a 22% tip. 

Seriously! I live less than an hour outside of NYC, the local Mr Tire I took my 2008 Prius to was phenomenal-cheap and honest. They would tell me when repairs were a 911, when they could wait, they always gave me accurate quotes, and on more than one occasion I would show up with an issue that I was convinced would…

Haha.

Good points! Although maybe you answered the central question-are we sure the characters are supposed to be sentient life? ;)

It might also depend on the year/trim. I had a 2008 Touring trim, which apparently took lower profile tires, which might explain why they wore out more quickly for me. I do also drive 50+ miles daily on NJ highways, so really I guess I’m lucky I’m not replacing tires daily. 

I read the books out of an obligation-I read the first one and felt compelled to complete them.

It’s also worth noting a lot of police stations/county sheriff offices have drop offs for unwanted opioids. I’ve been given percoset for surgeries before, and honestly while it works great for my pain, I stopped taking it after a few days but usually had a decent amount left over. I’m embarrassed to admit I forgot…

1) Priuses really do chew through tires like cheap gum. My old Prius would eat tires so often I practically had my own dedicated seat at Mr Tire.

I did that in college with salt. In hindsight, I’m pretty sure I had some sort of sodium deficiency, because I had the blood pressure of a 3-day old corpse and craved salt like a vampire craves blood. Nothing I ate was salty enough for me.
