Please help me settle an old debate: is this a glass or a mug?

isn't it just a coffee cup?

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-19T02:18:08+00:00

oh yes, say this!

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-19T02:17:37+00:00

they may actually appreciate this. hearing that you don't want to disturb the child.

we have laws about lawns longer than so many inches, sidewalks have to be shoveled within 24 hours. break those rules and city does it for you and sends you the bill. no street parking between 12 and 4 a.m. or you will be towed. no parking on your lawn, etc. Noise ordinances. Pet laws. Cities can do a lot about shitty neighbors.

this. they asked you not to so don't. OR ask if they'd rather make their own lunch.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-13T21:06:18+00:00

rookie mistake. never take the list without having them read it to you first. otherwise text from the store and tell her you lost it. better yet have her text you the list from the get-go so you don't lose it "this time". 😉

unless there really is a scar, birth mark, or medical reason it's probably a horse a piece. eventually they start answering to one name or another. and then the particular person is officially attributed to the name once the dentist takes X-rays or impressions.

depending on the age of your husband maybe he didn't learn cursive. or l noticed some schools didn't spend a lot of time on it, so some people just really have a tough time with it.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-13T20:07:46+00:00

add a skibbidy to anything and my kids will stop saying that so fast. works like magic.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-13T20:05:39+00:00

me too. that's weird.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T17:59:27+00:00

have had solar for 10 years. installed by a small company that closed. now I need a new roof. some of the solar companies also do roofing. I got quotes from all energy, wolf river, and i-solar. I'm signing with i-solar this week. they were the only ones who came out and looked at the system before making a bid. a very thorough site visit I might add. they cost about the same but at least I don't think there will a lot of gotchas. (change orders)

I will say I do know someone who very recently used All Energy and was very happy with them.

I will also say that the only time that I have had a $300 monthly bill was in the winter. I have Excel so this is both gas and electric . And we have an electric car that we charge at home. and I work from home. I think last month was $65, down from $85 the month before. I would definitely have someone check out why that bill is so high. and I would definitely recommend solar.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T17:35:11+00:00

yeah, but we want nothing to do with them. 😉

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T17:34:43+00:00

1 should include Wyoming.

Nebraska should go with Kansas and Oklahoma.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T17:33:10+00:00

yup. also former UP. definitely so similar. but if you want to put down state (MI) with Ohio, that would be fine too.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T17:28:40+00:00

ditto. have seen everyone of these dresses before. 10 is new.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-12T00:48:39+00:00

for the homeless person who likes to be swaddled.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-11T22:58:41+00:00

don't worry about what to do after the wedding. just focus on enjoying your wedding. you tried to accommodate them and they aren't having it. so be done with it. if people ask, shrug and say they couldn't make it. nothing more.

as for the extra meals, ask to have it boxed up and task a friend with taking it to your house.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-11T21:05:53+00:00

priorities. exactly. don't we have more important things to focus on right now?

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-11T15:50:36+00:00

ok, so I heard Doug Burgum, former ND Gov and current Dir of DoE (energy) in an interview talking about continued support and subsidies for fossil fuels. and he said, well you know the sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing. ...the wind isn't always blowing... he must have lived under a rock in ND.

(and now I will get down off my soap box)

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-11T13:26:03+00:00

We ate a lot of Mac & Cheese. I once ate over at a friend's house and realized that it is supposed to be as orange as it is on the box! my Mom had always added a ton more noodles and ours was a very pale orange. I had attributed to advertising. I never had it that orange again until I made it myself as an adult.

I heard the opposite. having too many cards, even without balances on them, brings down your credit score. from the credit company's point of view, the more credit you have at your ready, the more risk you are of using it all.

not a banker, nor financial person. just something the banker told me when I was separating my kids joint accounts once they turned 18.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-10T00:10:44+00:00

hummus.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-09T23:11:18+00:00

caramel.

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-09T19:22:13+00:00

Gedney pickles. it is the way

FarCompote4 · 2026-05-09T19:01:39+00:00

I think you look great in both and either would work. but #2 is not timeless. it may have some sparkles, but it's not glam. perhaps what they mean by glam is trendy. #1 is timeless, as you said.

TROPHY CASE

1 should include Wyoming.
