These things are magic. I used to sleep with a hot water bottle in the winter, but you wake up with a cold thing sucking the heat out of you. I’m pretty sure the branded bed buddy is just full of buckwheat hulls — I’ve considered making myself one custom, a little bigger, without the scratchy nylon ropes.

Ah god, when I had to sell my house and move back into a rental, the idea of having a landlord again really wigged me out. Like, I’d never had a problem with it in the past, but suddenly it occurred to me that this was the person who owned the house, that had keys and could come in and do whatever he wanted. He’s been…

I played along with Santa and the rest of it for YEARS after I figured it out. It was more fun that way, and I didn’t wanna disappoint my mom haha

No, they are though. I’ve never met an undepressing Sears.

Totally. I like Ikea, and a lot of their stuff is legitimately well designed and clever. It’s fun, and the meatballs are tasty!

I’m generally happy to toss a couple of bucks at a developer to remove ads from an app I use frequently and enjoy, but there’s definitely a trend of making these things into a subscription model instead. Lately I’ve been enjoying dumb little coloring book apps, and I’ve downloaded several to mess with (don’t judge).…

My most common use case for my Google Home Mini is to ask it to ring my phone. That and to play music. It’s nice, now that I live alone, to have a quiet little roommate on the counter, ready to call my phone for me.

My boss (cool guy, friend as well as boss) recently admitted to me that once life conspired to make him be an early riser (kids, job, etc) the only way he found he was able to function was by taking a caffeine pill immediately upon waking, because it would take too long to get to the kitchen and pour the coffee and…

Some people get a teensy bit sniffly/achy after the flu shot, I never have. It’s not a big deal shot, it’s a tiny needle. The site may feel a bit bruised for a day or two after, but it’s totally no big deal. You got dis :) It’s worth it.

I did legitimately get the flu (as in swabbed, tested positive, given Tamiflu) last year a few months after getting the flu shot, but I’m not butthurt about it. Even in the cases it doesn’t prevent the flu, it does shorten the duration and severity. It keeps people out of the hospital, keeps people from dying, it is a…

I’ve been wanting to watch more horror movies, but I tend to psych myself out of things, and would like to build up to scarier stuff. I really like this rating system, I wanna see more movies rated for scare like this! :)

Yeeup, when my hard drive toasted several months back, I bought a smaller SSD to replace it. I forgot that games take up a ton of space!! I might be popping back over to MicroCenter for a second one in the very near future...

Parks and Rec (I think it’s on Netflix?) and Brooklyn 99 (Hulu) are both silly and positive.

Loool when I’m stressed out I sometimes get night terrors. Years ago, my boyfriend at the time got his first glimpse of this when I sat up, started shouting. “WHAT THE FUCK” over and over again, and when he asked me, mumbled something about there being something on the ceiling before rolling over and going back to…

Personally, A Little Hole in the Wall tops Look at Me. It's the scariest thing I've ever read hahahaha

4 minutes, flip, then 4 minutes again? Then into the oven? Goodness.

Whoa that’s amazing!!!

Certainly in some cases you want the tasteless color, but I can imagine the added fruit flavor also being amazing for some things :D

Nice! The flour and water thickens it into more of a gravy, but I could see skipping that part and just getting the flavors together straight away.

Plain white vinegar! It’s the only time I’ve ever cooked with the stuff. To be fair though, white wine vinegar would probably also be good.
