I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
I’m lazy AF, so I just give it a gooood rinse in hot water after every use. I will say it is one more step than the soda stream but there is the added benefit that you never will need to play against the clock when dumping syrups it after you’ve carbonated. I always ended up with a sticky mess after failing to seal in time with the soda stream.
I can’t agree more! I have tried both soda stream and drinkmate and would recommend the drinkmate. It’s just better, you can fizz juice and non-water drinks. Soda stream is also a consumer boycott target if you don’t want to support the genocide in Palestine. 😬
I knew when I was 12 I never wanted children. I got married at 20. I got fixed at 24. I am almost 40 and have no regrets other than not getting fixed sooner, but finding a doc to fix a lady at 18 is damn near impossible.
I saw an ad on Facebook years ago for a Distant World’s concert happening in my area. I clicked and bought tickets. This was the only time I’ve knowingly clicked an ad.
My dad told me to eat salads and lose weight when I was a little kid. I will never forget. Please don’t shame her, weight and appearances are so touchy but criticizing every bite I ate only fucked me up. I was chubby, I still consider myself the same proportional level of chubby as when I was a kid. I have yoyo dieted my whole life and when I see him I still just push food around my plate.
The one great thing I remember about my childhood was driving long distances the two of us. He would often need to drive a few hours out of town to pick stuff up for work, and I would sit in the passengers seat with one of those huge map books and I would navigate us there. It was a ton of fun just doing mini road trips once or twice a month.
I also went to conventions related to his profession, the topic was boring but conventions of any type inevitably have loads of candy dishes. Just doing things together the two of us felt special.
Wow okay the app is buggy AF, I thought my first comment replied to you but after submitting it showed me responding to me. So I’m high and just assume I made a booboo, no problem delete and re-reply correctly. Except it did the same thing after submitting, I refreshed and both are correctly responding to you. Wtf I’m not buying this app it makes me look like an idiot 😆
Graduating with student loan debt is an all too common reality for new college degree holders beginning their careers. But there’s another, often overlooked cohort of debtors facing their own set of challenges: Americans over the age of 55 approaching their retirement years....
I just learned my 60 year old mother in law has been moonlighting as a janitor. Only learned because she injured herself in exhaustion. Her reason: needed the cash for her student loans.
This is an old photo. This was the very first cat tree we bought for Sencha before we realized he was a bit bigger than the average cat. We ended up having to return the tree because it was too small for him. He briefly used the tree but he could never seem to be able to find a comfortable spot on it....
I was forced to search for “the one” when I got my mainecoon. His 20 pound butt leaps from this sucker and it stays upright. I have two of these. www.chewy.com/…/108188

Have you ever clicked on an ad *on purpose?*
Just as the title says: Have you ever clicked on an ad, knowing it was an ad, on purpose? What ad was it? Why did you click it?...
Daughters and Fathers
This is a serious question, mostly addressed to the adult women among us but also to anyone else who has a stake in the matter....

Useless red circle, I know, but in my defense I didn’t put it there, it was already like this when I found it.
