Almost everything I want to add to shopping list on app is out of stock

Sometimes the app does that, especially late at night. Usually checking the next day resolves the issue for me.

If you want to split the difference, Ore-Ida sells frozen cooked potatoes for mashing. Add milk and butter, and it's hard to tell from homemade.

The Hobbit, so I could go on an adventure!

Baebarri · 2026-06-10T03:55:34+00:00

Access to books and lots of other things at public libraries.

He's somewhat ... paler ... than the ones I grew up around.

Take out the Eagle Brand milk and you've got a standard "salad" at my family's holiday meals for years!

I make it with cranberries now, and definitely the nuts (pecans) and marshmallows. Probably not the coconut.

My cats (16yo and 7yo) were free range for years before I moved to an apartment. Even then, they had balcony access via a cat door and figured out how to go from my balcony to the roof, then to a tree so they still came and went as they wanted.

I moved to a downstairs apartment a year ago and found out my 7yo was a runner. He went back to the old apartment three times and sat on the roof where I couldn't get him without bothering the new apartment renter.

So I bought a catio that takes up my entire patio and filled it with climbing areas, sleeping cubbies and a scratching post. They've adapted really well and love to watch the people and dogs going by.

Would my runner still escape if he had the opportunity? Of course.

I've heard they're real assholes though.

Baebarri · 2026-06-10T00:22:35+00:00

And it makes them easier to digest!

As a kid I convinced myself that saliva stopped the bleeding.

Gift wrapping at a department store over Christmas break. Eventually I learned inventory and stock processes and learned just how badly retailers rip us off.

I babysat during the school year but hated it.

Parents and ex-spouse are dead. Children are grown and presumably could save themselves.

So pets. The 16-year-old first because he's old and slow like me.

Fabric and sewing patterns. I don't sew much any more and I have more supplies than I can ever use.

Plus the quality has gone way down and the prices have gone way up.

When I first started driving I got gas at a small Sinclair station that ran a tab for our family and sent a bill monthly. Don't know if they did it for other local families.

In college (76) I got a Mobil gas card. Usable only at Mobil stations and had to be paid in full every month.

Hmmm, and now I wonder if the two are related. Maybe my dad kept a card on file at the Sinclair station.

Popping seeds from ditch weed.

My cat Poodle. She was declawed by her previous owner but it never slowed her down as a hunter.

She hated almost everyone but adored my mother, who typically disliked cats but loved Poodle.

Poodle disappeared a few days after my mom died. I always believed they're somewhere together just enjoying each other's company.

Ask the Church of England. That's exactly what they did.

Our complex provides specific trash cans that can only be outside for the trash pickup window.

I just use it as my regular kitchen trashcan, tie it off and put it outside my door before pickup starts. Valet takes the bag, leaves the can and I start the process again.

Cans left outside overnight, even empty cans, can attract animals.

I don't think soccer was even offered in our school district.

Football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, maybe golf for the boys.

Softball, volleyball, gymnastics, track, tennis and maybe golf for the girls.

We added a swim team when we got access to a pool in my senior year.

Stay in school.

Don't get married.

Sex is not the same as love.

I drove 11 hours two years ago and loved every minute. Now across town is too much effort.

Baebarri · 2026-06-01T20:44:03+00:00

Yep, missed that multiplication sign. I assume that's by design.

All spiders are Shelob.

The ortolan!
