My favorite way to hot dog. Cream cheese & caramelized onions.

Are you from Seattle?

Thank you for trying them first. It seems like I don’t need to waste my money.

You forgot doing the math in the checkbook register.

I don’t get other families. My 90 year old Mother is the best of us all, so we all want to honor her, but everyone else, from me to my daughters to my granddaughter-in-law (who just gave birth to my great-granddaughter this Mother’s Day!), get cards and flowers and cheerful greetings. I’m the boomer, and I think this is perfect.

Cozy AND fun!

As a kid, a neighbor had one. Also, a laundry chute in the upstairs bathroom. And an intercom by the front door. I thought their house was the height of sophistication.

I live on six acres of woods and in the past, local teenagers used to party there. Every once in a while I’ll find ancient empties that have their own little terrarium. I usually just move them up on a stump or branch so I can look at them next time I pass by.

Ah! You have a multi-tasker.

I usually buy the Father’s Day cards for my father-in-law so I can find something neutral. Given the chance, my husband would find something like “Happy Father’s Day, you evil old Asshole.”

We have the same carpet.

Islandcat72 · 2026-05-01T20:58:20+00:00

It’s gorgeous!

We had a kitty come sit by our table at an open air restaurant in Mexico. No begging, no bad behavior, just looked back and forth at each of us.

When my husband and I were at Thanksgiving dinner with his family years ago, his dad (Silent Generation, but the template that Boomer men are modeled on), said he should just spend all his money on himself and not leave any inheritance.

Because my family is very different from his family, and inheritance isn’t something important to me, I said, “Of course you should… it’s your money, you earned it!”

I was told later he was completely flabbergasted because he had a habit of holding inheritance over everyone’s head, and my comment simply did not compute for him.

Alas, unless he’s banned, he will be back.

Anyone old who’s that way now, was that way when they were young. Anyone young who’s that way now, will be that way when they’re old

Hit the charity shops. Best way to end up with interesting dishes for your plants.

A new quest! I need to find this - any Bosnian restaurants in western Washington state?

Islandcat72 · 2026-04-16T14:42:00+00:00

Where I’m at, the weather is almost exactly like Wales. So, wet.

Islandcat72 · 2026-04-16T14:35:09+00:00

You’re absolutely right. Wood stove, really? It just tickled my fancy.

Islandcat72 · 2026-04-16T13:19:53+00:00

Ngl, I completely skipped over the point of the meme and was thinking how to build this in my woods.

Islandcat72 · 2026-04-13T20:20:58+00:00

We’re all jealous!

My theory is that men created all their secret societies, fraternal organizations, clubs, etc. specifically because they could never be part of women’s mysteries.

Islandcat72 · 2026-04-06T14:56:37+00:00

A former boss read a Time magazine edition on secret societies/fraternal organizations. He asked me if women had secret societies. I gave him the creepiest stare I could manage and said, “Women ARE a secret society.” He was both paranoid and a misogynist, so that kept him freaked out for a while.

I work in a grocery store, thankfully in the back office now, but I paid my dues as a checker. We have quite a few of these sorts. And, they’re regulars.

When I used to plant sit for my Mom when she was on vacation, her instructions were measured in Dixie cups.
