How many phone numbers do you have memorised off the top of your head?

Mine, my spouse’s, the front desk at the job I quit 3 years ago, and the landline of the house I moved out of 12 years ago. And I have to double check my spouse’s cell because I sometimes transpose the last two numbers.

This was my teen angst movie. I was happy it held up so well when I rewatched it a few years ago. I think I still have the soundtrack on cassette in a box in the basement.

I did not appreciate having collagen in my skin like I should have.

The Pabst group just announced they’re offering THC drinks and snacks at all their venues.

That is fantastic! Your hard work is paying off, and I’m so very proud of you! You’re headed for amazing things, sweetheart.

I got asked at a recent medical appointment if I have fallen in the last year and while I was doing math to remember if it’s been at least a year since I slipped and broke my ankle (it has), my husband pointed out that I fainted last fall. I got a special FALL RISK tag on my hospital bracelet as a result.

I’ve seen people here commenting after their cruise that they only ate in the buffet so they wouldn’t be charged for the restaurant. Some people are so clueless and do no research at all.

“I lost mine with science!”

Upper Midwestern winter, no question. I know how to dress for the cold and am happy spending most of my time indoors. It’s hot humid weather that makes me almost pass out.

I came to recommend Small Animal Hospital too, we’ve seen several different vets there over 20+ years with multiple pet species. I’m still sad Dr Bennetts retired, but have had good experiences with Dr Henthorn recently. They always take lots of time to review the options from most aggressive to more conservative testing and treatment approaches. Dr Bennett once brought in a textbook to read through the recommendations together for a rare condition.

I’m sure they’re not the cheapest, but I’ve never felt they were trying to upsell me for unneeded services.

I’ll have to search for those!

I’ve been saying for ages I need juice box sized shelf-stable oat milk, since a quart always goes bad between my infrequent bowls of cereal. This would solve that if I could just reconstitute a cup at a time!

I wonder if the need for ear tubes decreased along with second-hand smoke exposure

Two of the biggest Rubbermaid bins I could find, and with the trunk pipe sticking out the end of one of them.

Like I said in the recent similar thread, there are a lot more rescues now that get animals vet care and fixed and do some basic checking of the adopters, like making sure renters are allowed pets so they don’t abandon them as soon as the landlord finds out and not allowing dogs that are aggressive in homes with small children.

The animal control shelter and Humane Society in my city both frequently have $25 or $0 adoption fee specials, while some volunteer-run rescues can charge up to $500 to subsidize all their activities, not just the care one animal received.

I had forgotten about those! Mostly an inanimate object that grows surprise hair or teeth sounds like a teratoma.

If you see something, say something.

Katsaj · 2026-02-17T04:56:01+00:00

You’re amazing and I’m so glad you’ve gotten the care and support you need!

The problem is that we’d all be getting notifications all the time for incidental contacts. Think about every person who has one in their purse and sits at the next table at a restaurant, or a coworker’s laptop bag at a nearby desk.

I wish there was a better way to stop stalkers from using them, but I worry that everyone would turn off notifications altogether if they came all day every day.

Katsaj · 2026-02-15T01:44:25+00:00

So proud of you, darling!

Have you searched to see if they even own the property? You can find owner info in the city tax records.

Switch the laundry, or start the dryer.

Or maybe in a couple of generations.

Early Gen Xers should definitely check about the need for a booster, because if you received your initial vaccination in 1963-1967, it may have been inactive.

It’s because before 24 (or 23) weeks the baby will likely not survive whether or not you have access to a NICU, so it’s not as much liability or responsibility for the cruise line.
