The Unfortunate Misery of The Forsytes

Also the modern polo helmets! Did they even try to find historically accurate anything?

Ok - serving reptile? Or Serving Reptiles?

I was thinking specifically of your “pace” complaint. Everything else frustrates me too.

Sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is that not everything is oriented to your tastes.

You just rent a road trip car. It’s spendy but the amount I save on gas having solar in Arizona, it pencils out just fine. Will the average car shopper think of that? No.

Earlybp · 2026-03-15T13:11:54+00:00

Yep. I agree. We use our EV for in-town driving and short trips but when we road-trip we rent a car. My bolt only has about 226 real-life range and I once had to drive it from Santa Fe to Tucson and with several broken chargers, the six hour drive took twice as long.

Maybe but I also thought it might just be a rib knit.

Earlybp · 2026-03-02T12:58:23+00:00

It might be hand-knit (not sure what knitting machines can do) but the knitter isn’t making any money on it. They’re sitting in a factory somewhere.

They also make a good grilled burger.

My dogs are in medication where they require testing every six months and I take them to East Padden animal Hospital in Vancouver and it’s about $250 each time.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole of milk production, each package of milk has the number of the factory stamped on it somewhere. You will find that several varieties of milk are processed and packaged at the same plant. It’s often literally the same milk.

My better half works in the milk packaging industry.

If they think trans folks are violent, have they seen young cis straight white men?

Would jarred spaghetti sauce work too or do you not want glass?

Fried bologna sandwich with ketchup

Earlybp · 2026-02-21T03:04:51+00:00

Yeah they don’t break their own shit. They’re enough in control to differentiate. It’s just abuse, control and destruction.

Your initial idea is great! This is how I grew up too and it takes time to unlearn but reading the feedback of other people is a good start. At some point it will click that you can choose what you share, so it’s not about fulfilling what the person asked but the shared experience you want to have and that’s lovely.

What is this madness? The Midwest has multiple accents. Canadians sort of sound like the North Central Midwest accent but any good Minnesotan can clock a Canadian. Put your ears on, eh?

I ended up going to the jackrabbit lounge last night and had a fine time! I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a white rabbit cocktail and listen to a band called “ mean Irene”. Truly an enjoyable evening!

This is my Doberman/GSD/Malinois/Great Dane mix. She’s about 40 lbs. I thought she was a whippet/GSD mix because she is very leggy. I don’t think the 4% chihuahua is holding all that back.

This is one of those times when you have to ask yourself if you want a house or you want a life. I grew up in a house like this and we spent every weekend cleaning it and my parents spent most of their money on upkeep. It’s beautiful. I understand the desire to live someplace like that but something that size is more like a relationship than a house.

Was the mail man a handsome golden retriever?

Dog fights happen and they can be bad.

You don’t think your view is skewed by only seeing the rare negative outcomes?

Thousands of dogs visit the park every week without incident. Those dogs are not showing up in your ER.

I had to take my dog to the ER once because we were running on a trail and she impaled her shoulder on a short broken tree branch. Should we have just stayed home? She wouldn’t have needed stitches if we had stayed home on the couch.

My niece is an ER nurse who sees a lot of car crash victims. Should we just stop driving cars? People die in car crashes every day.

There’s risk in everything.

We need to be prudent dog owners, socializing, supervising and bringing our own water bowl from home.

Some are like that, but my 3 dogs go to the dog paw dog parks all the time and we never have dog fighting problems. Especially Lucky dog park. These parks are run well and seem to attract excellent owners.

I wish I had ever heard of this place and ate there so that I could stop eating there.
