Peach schnapps and Sprite for me as a teen, I mean, young adult. No one was underage drinking in my circle. Nope. We would never.

I’m so sorry, Matt. You’re essential reading and have been for so many years. Will follow you wherever you go/do. 😔

They took over mine in my small town as well and everything was rapidly 3 times more expensive. 🤬

(I’m sorry about the seizures. ☹️ I had a cat that got a seizure disorder in his last year (17) & it’s…..a lot.)

It's about the people who are in a 'love relationship' with this particular AI. The newer versions are coded to not be so boyfriendy? I wouldn't know either if NYmag hadn't just had a long form article on it. Look it up if you want to know more! It's serious and very, very depressing. :(

That would not work in my living room of cottagey yellow sofas, golden/cranberry plaid curtains, and sagey green wool rug but I COULD ABSOLUTELY build another room around a pink sofa. I just cannot with the all greige stuff. Boo. :(

When shopping for couches 6 years ago in a Jordan's it was so stunning to see a yellow/white mini striped set amongst endless greige that I bought it *immediately*. It's SO HAPPY looking. No regrets. (It does stain easily, though. lol)

This is the way. 👍🏼

I already lose my mind that prices are wildly different between Stop & Shop's 20 min away from one another. Like $2 dollar difference on sub $10 items! (Not hyperbole!) Sure, let's do that but MORE. *raaaaaaaaaaaaaage*

Love Johnette Napolitano growling about vampires and shit for some slithering in the dark sexiness.

The ‘game price is a large Starbucks drink = insta-buy’ equation is flawless math. My Steam account is basically a graveyard of tall coffee cups.

Hook the Eighties right into my veins, baby. ❤️

Yay!! When I first learned about them I was fantastically angry that they aren’t more well known. We’re all on the French knot struggle bus and an easy substitute is RIGHT THERE but no one knows about it. 🫤

Rhode Island is the land of ‘under the table’ and flim flamming. I left 22 yrs ago for Connecticut and still consider myself a RI’er. You’re a lifer if you grew up there. It’s in the bylaws. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing like waiting until Christmas Eve to set a nice holiday table. 🎄🎅🏼🎄

Red is good for Valentines so I’m good til March! 😂

Rhode Island, actually! Surprisingly one of the most Catholic states. (By % of population, of course. Anything else would be unfair in a state that size. lol)

Look up colonial knots! I always sub those in for standard sized French knots. 😊

I love that guy. He live streams 2-3 movies every day on Twitch while high as a kite and you can never tell anyone his name because, you know, the pirating movies thing. Actually, genuinely a good guy. Go for it. 😂

Wish I had thought to just mute it. Because it’s…very bad otherwise.

Love love love this movie!

A pair of Christmas tree earrings with gold metal for the hoops/details and multi color rhinestones as ornament balls.

‘Tis the season to wear cheap costume Christmas jewelry and make my earlobes cranky for a month afterwards. Cant stop, won’t stop.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Literally one of the biggest reasons I still have cable: the TCM login it gives me. It is BY FAR the streaming service we use most because we let it rip while making supper/just hanging around. (#2 reason is I have a lifetime account TiVo that still works well. 🦄)

Top reason I’m still a pc girlie for most everything. Double ad blocker, at least I can read everything without a hint of ad slop. Now the degradation of the actual content….😔

Oh yeah! We used to have an annual book sale in my town where MMPBs were .25¢ each. I’d get 2 bags of books, box em and donate them back to the charity after they were read, repeat. Was like that for 10-12 yrs.

This. I had a bunch of beloved MMPB books on my bookcase that I purchased in the past that I have slowly been replacing with the larger PB's lately because I can't actually read the smaller ones any longer. (Eyesight AND hand strain. Boooo.)

Food. Everybody eats and has preferences you can lean into. If he’s too curmudgeonly for even that then it’s hopeless. Gift card for Amazon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was at least a quesadilla, the large nacho and a soda drink for me.

I actually..........can't imagine storing the gift wrapping stuff in any other way. They make containers specifically for this! That they sell everywhere! Anything else is anarchy. 😬

To me, a person who is not attracted to her, she seems to have cultivated a very noir-like femme fatale look that Boomers would fall for. Screen sirens of their formative years, etc. Attractive outside of old men? I dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck trying to find a picture of me online for this, I say. Mwahahaha. My hatred for selfies - VINDICATED. :)
