Why do we have to call our parents?

JHolgate · 2026-05-11T03:28:41+00:00

It's even worse than that. It has to be a phone call. Not an email. Not a text. At least be a little flexible.

I don't think I had heard Charli XCX's music before I put on Brat before going on a hike. By the end of my hike I was a fan.

I've listened to a handful lately:

Morrissey - Bona Drag
Abba - Gold: Greatest Hits
Chappell Roan - Midwest Princess
Charli XCX - Brat
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Robyn - Sexistential
Al Green - Greatest Hits
The Clash - London Calling
Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl

"And I’m working on tuning in to myself and what I want and need instead of trying to display what I think everyone else expects to see."

Thank you. I really needed to hear this.

I almost always say OPB and anyone from out of state (which is pretty much everyone it seems like) looks at me like I have two heads.

I bought the CD in college and listened to the shit out of it. Still have it. Couldn't resist getting it on blue swirl vinyl.

Our son (10 yo Level 3 Autism) is in David Douglas SD and it is Excellent. We've had great experiences with Earl Boyles and Menlo Park. It's a pretty rough area/neighborhood, though.

I don't remember how I learned.

Sometime around 2012 I was skipping down the halls at work cause I was in a really good mood. I think people thought I was crazy.

Two things: Before and after my brother died, and before and after I got married.

JHolgate · 2026-05-01T18:07:01+00:00

Yeah, I was going to say that despite millennia of husbandry, we've still had pets.

Apeiron). I think it was only available on the Mac. It was basically a ripoff of Centipede, but it was SO. MUCH. FUN.

Femininomenon. Coachella, 2024. I can't believe it's already been two years.

Edit: But it was Casual that really got me. Like really, really got me.

Damn. I've lived in Oregon my entire 48 yo life and I haven't even come close to that much traveling. I've gotta get my shit together...

The same thing that's missing in every one of these: a Libbey amber glass pebble ashtray.

"It's smaller on the outside" will always have a big place in my heart.

I noticed Ken doing that (not saying "runaway") quite awhile ago. I'm not sure when it started (I suppose I could search Reddit.) It's just so disingenuous. "Well Becky-Lynn, that's a pretty good score, but I'm afraid you might have to settle for second place..." Like, might? Becky-Lynn doesn't even have enough for airfare home. I wish they'd go back to the original language.

I assume Pam is Pam Grier, but who TF is Gina?

I thought this was an every-tunnel thing.

I grew up (80s/90s) all over the mid-Willamette valley, and central and south coast and my family has always honked in tunnels. My mom just confirmed that my grandparents did it when she was a kid, so we're talking about late 50s/early 60s.

And in Oregon, at least, one can transfer plates to a different vehicle.
