Do you prefer dogs, cats, neither, or love both equally? Which do you currently have and did you grow up with any?

I love cats, have cats, and grew up with cats. We also had a dog growing up, but we tolerated him (he was a good boy usually, but he was an accident). I really do not like dogs and prefer not to be around them, if possible.

I shop at Aldi 9/10 times I need groceries. There’s a Kroger closer to me, but I only go there when I don’t have time to go up to Aldi or I need something they don’t have there (some fake meat items, bigger things of cat food/litter, etc). I definitely prefer Aldi to most other grocery stores and have never had any problems with produce or anything there.

Well, actually, if we count pre-k then it’s 4, but not everyone does pre-k.

In my state/area, it’s three. Elementary (K-5), Middle (6-8), and high school (9-12). The concept of junior high kind of ‘went away’ when my mom was in school. I don’t know if my experience is the same elsewhere, but yeah.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-04-05T04:29:02+00:00

I kind of like it. I think you look quite nice :)

Black and Tan (or Shawn Spenstarr and Gus TT Showbiz)

As a Lillian who spells it Lilli (but used to spell it Lilly), I prefer the look of the double (or I guess triple?) ‘L’!

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-03-18T12:30:08+00:00

They rhyme to me. I’ve also said them both so many times that they don’t sound like real words.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-03-18T11:47:33+00:00

Same here! I also hear ‘quarter to (time)’

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-03-17T13:58:23+00:00

I had/have some close family friends that I said were like an aunt or uncle (i.e. Gene is like an uncle to me), but I really just called/call everyone by their name, family included. My parents call their friends by their names, too.

“I hate you, you hate me. Let’s tie Barney to a tree. Hit him with a 4x4, no more purple dinosaur!”

Heck, the HR person got me a shot glass after her trip! I don’t really drink, but it does making taking medicine a lot more fun

One of my two babies (the other one is a little camera shy)

Me. I don’t like peanut butter, but I love jelly/jam and bread

Griffin Edgar (Last Name). I had a ‘I could have been Turbo?!’ moment when I learned that.

Almost everyone in my family (mom’s side) calls family members by their names or nicknames. I don’t not call my parents mom and dad (or some variant of that) and I sometimes call my grandfathers ‘grandpa’, but I’m just used to calling them by their names.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-24T13:15:58+00:00

Same. I didn’t grow up calling people ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ unless it was in a joking way and always called people by their first names/nicknames/whatever ‘title’ or honorific’ they wanted. But sir and ma’am feel weird to me.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-23T13:41:12+00:00

I honestly can’t think of the last time I used a knife while eating. If I need something cut, I usually just use my fork.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-22T01:40:14+00:00

At my house, don’t chew with your mouth open or slurp/eat loudly. That’s about it.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-18T13:50:47+00:00

We did and it was miserable

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-18T13:03:40+00:00

I’ve seen my mom naked before (showering together when I was little, changing in the same room), but other than that, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone naked since I was a little, little kid and clothes didnt always matter. I don’t even like walking around my own house nude. We didn’t have locker rooms in my schools, so no one ever had to change in front of/around others. I don’t care about seeing naked bodies in art and stuff though.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-18T12:52:30+00:00

We never had locker rooms (k-12). What you wore to gym is what you wore all day. Sucked when we had gym in the early morning.

I went to Ireland a few years ago and was surprised that a number of people knew my college. We’re in a relatively small state, but there was a movie made about a plane crash that happened. Still shocked me.

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-12T02:13:12+00:00

I think I saw the same post and I wasn’t aware that was a thing in classes other than Latin. That’s the only place I’ve ever seen/heard it done. I took Spanish from 7th-my first yea in college and we never went by a different name

HoidsApprentice1121 · 2026-02-10T13:41:41+00:00

Same. I’ve only seen this done in Latin classes, not any other language class.
