This sounds suspiciously like a house I almost bought earlier in the year. Amazing kitchen that had obviously been expanded during the flip. But the expansion led to the lack of any place to put a dining room table. Which isn’t too much of a deal breaker for me, but an occasional enough one that it became the tipping…

Yeah, it wasn’t as absolutely constant.

We just had Livejournal and it was bad enough. I got sucked down the ED rabbit hole on that when we had to weigh in in front of the whole team for track in 8th grade and at 114lbs I was the heaviest girl. It was bad news. 

God, my parent’s breakfast bar. It was used for its intended purpose for maybe two years—a place for my dad to watch tv early and eat breakfast early in the morning and not have to have the tv up so loud it woke the kids.

I would love to have a space we could just dedicate to the disaster of the various levels of outdoor shoes required for living in a very muddy, sometimes snowy, frequently raining north east. And the similar levels of coats. Mostly because it’s an outright disaster, and I’m ok with that, I just want it to not be…

The zip up from the bottom is KEY. Particularly for access to pants pockets or what have you (since my work pants actually have functional pockets, unlike most women’s clothing). 

As a grown ass adult, a year and a half, particularly if they have dabbled into the living together thing, is fine. You definitely have figured out whether this person is a disaster in most situations or not and whether you hate the same things or tolerate their way of loading the dishwasher.

I hope this is a feeling I get over, but one of my coworkers expressed it best when we re0pened in September: I hate all of our visitors.

So much so. I watched “The Queen at 90" whenever it was first on Netflix and Charles and the Queen are watching old home movies.
The queen has individual comments on individual people she sees. What they were doing during that holiday, where they had just come from, something unique about that person or event or…

It was and still is mind boggling. I was a straight A, high performing student that gave the school very little trouble. I probably made them money due to test scores or college placement or orchestra prizes since it was public school. And their response was to put me in detention. Thanks, school!

A class trip, that every year, without fail, had something absolutely stupid happen on it (sex, drugs, alcohol, crime, someone getting left behind, what have you) and I don’t even know why it was allowed to continue.

Not wildest, but stupidest on the part of administration.

I have this one that is similar—not quite as long because I’m a klutz.

It seems also to be whether the vaccine has the same strains as the year before. Sometimes they keep three and change one, sometimes they have all new strains. I’ve noticed that if there are a lot of repeats, then I don’t have as bad of a reaction.

He’d spent his entire life being told ‘You know what the last Price of Wales did, don’t do that’ for pretty much every even vaguely independent action he took, so I’m not entirely surprised he didn’t go that direction.

As someone under 50, I find it all fascinating.

They did cast him in a good light, but also very carefully built up the base of the ‘it’s all about ME. ME ME ME.’ that this season really drove home. 

As a person who is perpetually freezing to death, I would like that coat.

She “toured” the facilities where children were kept away from their families and she essentially said ‘you expect me to feel bad about this?’

It happened at work so much when we were still there that I would actually just walk away from visitors. It only got the message across like 10% of the time.
