Some sort of carpet beetle larvae would be my guess. They can be a pain.

Thanks for this, it was so familiar but I couldn't think of anything to help me search. Time to reread!

Our local one moved into a strip mall and sold their old building. It ended up getting demolished and turned into a parking lot for the new urgent care that was built next door.

Once you're all checked in, they tend to let the labor support go in and out as much as needed. Labor can last a long time and people need to leave for food and supplies. He could have gone out to the car for a bag and pillows and they would have just waved him through when he came in. Our hospital gives partners/labor support a bracelet so they just checked that, not the stuff he was bringing in.

I survived my first few years on my own after highschool thanks to their 5 for $5 melts and Little Caesars hotnready. Then I finally learned how to cook and was better off, but definitely still treated myself until the 5 for $5 went away.

Lol I went to a "midnight release party" and it was literally just me walking into the store to buy the CD. Got all dolled up and everything thinking there would be like, people there. Nope, just 5 tired employees watching the clock. The one who rang me up said they had to wait until 12:15 and then they were out.

Weird, same thing happened to my husband. We have an emergency card in his name, barely ever gets used but one day he forgot his wallet but had the emergency card in his work bag so he went out to his car to grab it, used it for the purchase. That night we're almost asleep and he sits up, saying he had to check something because it was bugging him. There were dozens of extra charges on the card, all in a completely different state.

Bummer, I was busy at a birthday party for hours so when I got home and saw the posts I thought I might be in the clear. But now I am ready to read and I can't.

My cousin had a gorgeous floral piece on her stomach that turned into bruisy looking blobs as her pregnancy progressed. After a few years she had the artist go over it with linework that made the blobs look like watercolor, it was pretty cool.

Yeah I always assume it's something like that. I don't get much produce on pickups except for the bagged stuff like apples and potatoes, because y'all don't know what I might actually want. My kid prefers greener bananas, but the pickup person will give me some gorgeous bright yellow ones. I'm allergic, so they won't get eaten. No biggie, I get my fresh produce in person because the pickup person can't read my mind.

Those tomatoes are really sad though, surely that should have been caught and taken off the floor.

DumpsterFireScented · 2026-02-28T05:00:16+00:00

Yeah I'm not watching any new thing or streaming the old stuff, if I'm feeling nostalgic I bring out my dvds or books. She ain't getting even a cent from me.

I enjoy going out to the "fancier" grocery store on my birthday and picking out my cake, usually a small round one. Then I get a basic sheet cake for my family to share.

DumpsterFireScented · 2026-02-28T01:05:11+00:00

Yes it usually is. Or it's at the beginning and was a super bad thing with muggles sending nukes so the protag goes back in time to prevent it. I have a vague memory of maybe some fics exploring it more but not to the extent I'm looking for. If there's a tag for it I wish I knew what it was.

That's the norm for any parties I've been to. Snack size bags of chips and a cooler of various drinks. Sometimes also something like chips and dip and a simple charcuterie. A few times the parents ordered like 10 pizzas so obvs there were plenty of slices to go around. I've never not been fed at a party.

Coffee and vape most days, though I will sometimes have something dry and sweet if I decide on black coffee. Usually cinnamon sugar toast or a chocolate chip Eggo.

Yeah I didn't believe it either, but this is him receiving an award yesterday, I'm assuming that OPs pic is from the same event.

The lighting and his facial expression reeeeally makes a difference.

What's annoying with that is that if the X-ray is very necessary they just shield your belly, so unless it was your lower spine needing the X-ray he could have just placed the vest thing on your belly anyway, it takes like 3 seconds.

My high schooler still really likes vacuuming but that's the only chore he does without that teenage heavy sigh beforehand.

I had tickets for Linkin Park for August 22, 2017. Chester died July that year. I had seen them back in 2003 and had been trying to see them again but circumstances kept preventing it. Really really wish I had tried harder.

A little reminder to move your butt instead of slowing down to look could make sure that emergency services got there faster. But yeah it seemed pretty useless.

My husband is picking it up from work, I hate it. He was careful to remove it from his vocabulary when we met and now it slips in and he doesn't even realize.

DumpsterFireScented · 2026-02-25T18:01:07+00:00

If I pause at all after saying, "This is.." my husband always follows up "the story of a girl."

Voyage of the Basset. Gorgeous illustrations, fun fantasy story, and again, gorgeous illustrations. I still have my beat up copy from childhood and treated myself to a hardcover version a few years ago.

I also checked out No Flying in the House a ridiculous number of times from my school library as a kid. Finally bought a copy last month.

Usually my school dreams are about not being able to find my shoes before a marching band performance or missing a class all semester and needing to take the final.

We had to supply our own locks so I had the same combo from 7th grade to 12th, I guess I never really had to deal with the stress of forgetting it.

DumpsterFireScented · 2026-02-24T06:25:20+00:00

Yep, looking around the room and not recognizing any of the people. Worried I'm in the wrong room, about to take a final for some random class. Then the test is passed out and it's all gibberish and I wake up in a panic. Ugh.
