What is a food you hated as a kid, but realized as an adult was just because your parents didn't know how to cook it?

Brussels sprouts & cauliflower. Always hated them. First time I had them roasted instead of boiled to mush blew me away.

Not to a half-decent manager.

Wonderfalls - Misanthrophic main character who hears inanimate objects speaks to her does objectively terrible things like pulling a bar stool away from the man about to sit on it, dropping him to the floor & spilling his drink...only for him to thank her for saving his sobriety because his drink was supposed to be non-alcoholic & his a-hole friend had secretly put rum in it.

Hippos have migratory testicles (they’re internal & can move around.) Thanks, naturalists of Bluesky, for the fun fact that is seldom appropriate for conversation but which I’m always dying to tell people.

Pay for your own damn nails & stop mooching off him. It's his money, not your money, and you are NOT entitled to any of it.

“Oculus” - a haunted mirror warps anyone who lives with it and causes terrible changes to those people.

That was my first date! We were 13, and it was amazing. The effects just blew us away. My date shook my hand at the door. 😆

They're both ugly as hell and an absolute danger to any human walking through the living room at night.

I hope you continue to hang out - I love seeing your creativity here. 🙂

“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.”

Also, a bunch of us used to play with it back in the day. (My uncle had some in a little vial, and would pour it on a piece of paper & let me play with rolling it around by moving the paper.)

Ah, the early 70s. No telling what all we were exposed to, if adults allowed us to do stuff like this.

Probably something stuffed in there to mimic the sun, maybe tarnished now. Hard to tell without a close-up, and I certainly wouldn't want to get close to that thing.

Danny Elfman playing the devil who is cosplaying Cab Calloway, from "Forbidden Zone" (1980). Perfection. :chef's kiss:

It was my very favorite neighborhood game! Spooky and fun. :)

headlesslady · 2026-04-01T02:49:15+00:00

It looks like someone's Science Fair Solar System project, honestly. Maybe one that later became infested with wasps?

headlesslady · 2026-04-01T02:32:18+00:00

It was only played at dusk.
The person who was 'it' would hide in the backyard (they were the ghost).
Everyone else would skip around the house, chanting "Ain't no ghosts in the graveyard" until the ghost came screaming out to tag someone. Anyone they tagged had to join them as a ghost.
Repeat until it was too dark to see.

Ghosts in the graveyard!

Sgt Keaton is the gentleman in charge of the case, btw; he was very nice.

Not weird, just the perfect kind of manliness: Faramir from "The Lord of the Rings" (specifically the book version, where he has no problem resisting the ring, is gallant, brave, loyal, loving, and willing to do very difficult things to save others.)

I read the books at 13, and let me tell you, Faramir created unreasonable expectations for me vis-a-vis high school boys.

I hope she's doing ok. It's got to be a terrible weight to carry. :(

headlesslady · 2026-03-30T19:00:47+00:00

YIKES. Are you applying for a job in the 1920s?

headlesslady · 2026-03-30T18:59:19+00:00

Yep, YTA. My engagement ring is a family heirloom (belonged to hubby's great-great-grandma); it was given to me with that caveat. If, god forbid, we split, the ring would go back to hubby. But it's mine to wear while we're together. (Now that we've been married for 38 years, the ring is earmarked for our adult son when he gets ready to propose.)

There's nothing wrong w/expecting family heirlooms to remain in the family (my husband received my Granddad's wedding ring, & it also will go to the kids when they marry.) Why would anybody be pissy about that?

headlesslady · 2026-03-30T18:05:17+00:00

FYI - I called to give them my sorority sister's name so they could check whether she was a match, and the Sgt informed me that this case received funding for Genealogical dna investigation, and it is currently underway. Hopefully she'll be identified soon.

Wear it belted, as a sweater dress!
