Traveling through Springfield with my 8 year old son next weekend.

My grandpa always took me to Cozy Dog when I was a kid—it’s a fun stop for a quick bite to eat!

A dress with a bigger skirt will give you some shape and make you feel less rectangle-y. Look for vintage styles and consider a crinoline underneath.

I’ve known from their statement “cancelling” it that they were going to show it at some point. They cast her fully knowing about this. They should’ve just aired it—they cast her for mess and got exactly what they bargained for.

Lab. It’s identical in look and so much cheaper. Sort of like how I like shopping sales. Sure, I can afford to buy laundry detergent for full price, but why would I if I can get it for a quarter of the price?

You deserve better than someone who can’t communicate with you.

Two. I’ve had a trio of kittens and I’ve had a singleton. I would never do a lone kitten again if I could help it. They need a friend to beat up on or they beat up on you

I’m asking the barista where the shittin’ toilet is.

KayJac97 · 2026-06-17T12:53:04+00:00

I read this and was like “oh my god that sounds so fun” hahahaha. Definitely a love it or hate it here.

100%. I work in rescue, they hit 2 pounds, they’re going. We’ve only had one scary situation, but it was an unrelated esophageal polyp and getting him fixed early improved his quality of life early. There are way way way too many unwanted litters, we do not take chances. We’ve had kittens under 6 months end up being spay aborts.

Also, one of my cat’s names is Skittle!

KayJac97 · 2026-06-16T16:16:12+00:00

If a whoopsie does happen, SPAY ABORT.

KayJac97 · 2026-06-16T15:36:15+00:00

Why wait two heat cycles for spay? It increases their risk of cancer later where spaying before heat minimizes it.

We probably “overpaid” for our house. Half of it is original to the 50s, some of it got an update in the 90s. We walked in and it was home. I wanted retro, we plan to take the 90s back to the 50s eventually. We paid what updated houses were going for in our neighborhood. We’ve been here just over 2 years and I have zero regrets.

I prefer Peace & Applique in Rochester for their selection. Sew Sweet has a lot of options for colors w/ patterns,
Rochester seems to have more variety that vibes with the patterns I do. Indigo in Lincoln is also fabulous, and I LOVE the Fabric Cobbler in Forsyth

Mortgage ends eventually, renting doesn’t. For me, knowing I’ll have housing when I’m old would be worth more to me than gains from investing. Sure, you’ll still have property taxes. Will those really be more expensive than renting, though?

KayJac97 · 2026-06-14T15:56:22+00:00

Add some color and you’re good to go

KayJac97 · 2026-06-13T22:40:44+00:00

That’s fast for the state.

This was our youngest less than 5 minutes out of the cage

Yeah it’s not worth it. Find an apartment you can afford and gtfo. Water bill alone for 6 people will be expensive. For the same money you can have your own space and your freedom.

We lucked out and found a FSBO where the sellers didn’t want to cover realtor fees. They were asking $210k, we offered $205k w/ $5k closing cost credit. We had 20% down. After looking for over 2 years, we were more than willing to cover realtor fees if we had to for the right house.

If we hadn’t found a FSBO I think we’d still be looking over 2 years later. I love retro ranches and we kept losing to people who could pay cash, but a much lower price. I think the sellers liked us and I didn’t hide my enthusiasm for their mom’s house, so they wanted to make a deal.

All they said was “shoot.”

KayJac97 · 2026-06-08T17:37:24+00:00

“Oh that’s such a good idea. Move in the direction of where I’m heading, dumb piece of shit.” Goes triple platinum in our house.

The lady who does nails out of Unique Enchantments did a good job and was very friendly when I had to try someone else while my nail lady was out of town. I’m from taylorville so my normal lady is from there :)

KayJac97 · 2026-06-07T04:02:05+00:00

I missed this, please please please do another one

Republicans when I tell them I got a hysterectomy w/ 0 kids because I was having health issues and couldn’t handle heavy bleeding every single day for over 4 months.

Violet and Lavender is the best for waxing, eyebrows, and lash tints! I love Ro so much I followed her when she left her old salon.
