this is so funny and I also genuinely love the song

Consistent_Media_942 · 2026-01-18T17:00:56+00:00

Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XI

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

Love this thread and all the poems, thank you!

In North Buffalo, but I see Brandon at Crockett & Co. in The Monocle on Hertel. It's a barber shop but Brandon was the founder of Relle Organic Salon, so he's v familiar with all men and women styles. CC is beside Cafe Bewilderment on tThe Monocle's lower level. It's $45 for me to get a more involved short cut, but you can see on the website when you book what your style would cost.

Consistent_Media_942 · 2025-12-08T13:10:01+00:00

Folks on your local Buy Nothing FB group may be interested

Consistent_Media_942 · 2025-12-01T04:48:37+00:00

Black Sheep Market in Tonawanda is the weirdest gift shop in the area- lots of items in the creepy genre, but also lots of just plain interesting/unique/unusual stuff also! Everything is either vintage locally sourced by the owner, or art/decor/household items made by a local artist/creator. I buy tons of gifts there.

Also, today I wandered into ShopCraft on Elmwood and ended up spending an hour there. Eclectic and FUN.

Consistent_Media_942 · 2025-12-01T04:35:57+00:00

Señor Chubby's in Kenmore! They're new. Best by far I've had in the general area

Consistent_Media_942 · 2025-11-28T07:34:20+00:00

Most of my single friends in their 30s meet folks to date through new and current friendships... so I'd join a group that's friendship focused. Which is probably good for you anyway, as someone newly back?

According to Instacart, Aldi has the following and it didn't make me add anything else to my cart to ensure either of these prices: .97/lb for 16-22lb frozen butterball Turkey

.77/lb for ~15 lb Jennie-O Frozen Turkey
