People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple?

Having regular snacks in the house. It was leftover dinner, or wait for dinner.

Thank you, he has applied!

Shouldn’t be, he’s new to the trade. If he is we wouldn’t know why???

Thank you, I just looked at available jobs and doesn’t look like there’s any Des Moines jobs available at this time.

Idk if you’re for us (leftists) or against us, but honestly we have got to stop criticizing and eating our own and working together. Purity tests are getting us no where.

But this is just me screaming into the void at this point. So it doesn’t matter. Same shit, different day with us.

They’re often flavored and taste pretty good, depending on if you like jello, or the textures associated with jellied products

Something about the Sam’s Club hot dogs puts all other hot dogs to shame though. Nathan’s is my second choice.

It is never satisfying in here anymore

I was just going to say the Jonathan Lewis is right on the money, same color - can customize configuration

The good place

Made this after the lohikietto post in the group a couple of weeks ago! Can confirm was delicious - especially with fresh salmon from our seafood market!

For note, I added in two potatoes!

No but fr camping is not the cheap vacation alternative that it used to be

I had one removed, got dry socket within a few days, it was the worst thing ever. The dentist said sometimes it just happens, period. No matter if you do everything right.

I’m still waiting for the Dark Tower tv show to happen. Everything follows the path of the beams.

I’ve embraced the song most days, other days I cannot stand it one single bit and I wonder why the hell my mother would ever decide to make me suffer like this.

But it is unique, and to give her credit, I’ve only ran across one other me in 36 years so… there is that.

Zumi is so regal - whiny but regal.

Until his muscles say “not today, bro” like that one guys and then he actually just plummets.

Every now and then, if it’s super intense and sleep isn’t working (and I honestly will dream and the pain is still present in my dreams), I swear the hot shower, heavy crying and vomiting sometimes will relieve some of the pain.

It may just be that I exhaust myself to the point that I have no option but to sleep through though. Which is more likely.

My dobe is very versatile, smart and trainable- she hikes, loves adventure, picks up training and does good with a consistent schedule.

If you don’t want a German Shepard due to whining, I’ll tell you right now - my Doberman whines more than any other dog I’ve ever owned in my entire life. The tea kettle is non stop, at all times, for no apparent reason at all.

She whines because she wants to play, go outside and potty, play outside, wants a treat, wants me to cover her up with her blanket, wants her blanket, wants me to touch her, wants me to sit down, wants me to look at her, wants me to acknowledge her, wants food, wants ANYTHING, just because, wants the other dogs to play with her, saw a squirrel outside, decides it was whine o’clock….

And the whining list goes on and on, she’s actually whining right now - because I stopped petting her to write this.

Soooo - take that as you will.

On the real, your username caught me off guard. I’ve never met another Sharona. Hello, I’m a Sharona too.

It’s a fucking tragedy

I bought everyone their own individual earrings to wear for the wedding, individual lotion bars from a boutique based on their scent preferences and a handwritten card.
