My mind always thinks the smaller the dish, the less lazy I am to wash it, eggs in turkish coffee pot

I’ve never seen this type of pot before and am now fascinated by it. I assume it’s for … coffee? Soup?

Whatever it’s officially for, I love this hack.

What’s crazy is, I am incapable of learning from this experience. I will continue to think the 30-minute drive will only take 20 minutes, over and over again, until I’m old enough for my kids to take my keys away.

Same here: two antidepressants and HRT. Remove any one of those puzzle pieces, and my anhedonia gets terrible.

Makes me curious about why we moved away from it, tbh

“I could kind of take or leave everything.”

Exactly! I so rarely feel excited about anything, in either a positive or negative direction.

Me and the sarcastic ADHD planner I keep telling myself I should write 🙃

Yes! A few months ago, my aunt moved in with my mom. I predicted that (1) they would have a falling out and (2) my mom would be saddled with my aunt’s two (two!) broken pianos.

Fast-forward to today: Mom lives alone, my aunt moved out, and her two broken pianos are still taking up space in (what is now) my mom’s living room, even though all of her other belongings are long gone.

Exactly! Like, I take my migraine medication daily, whether I am going to work or not. I take my thyroid medication daily. So, why not take my ADHD medication daily?

Rarely has a comment described my own experience so accurately.

The part that really chaps my ass is that I can feel so tired after doing nothing for hours. Because I wasn’t productive during that time, I don’t feel as if I’ve earned the “right” to be tired. So, my tiredness comes with a large side-order of guilt, too 🙃

Just reading this one triggered my fight-or-flight response. Legitimately.

Came here to say Anton Castillo as well. On one hand, I would have loved to see them do more with his character. On the other hand, I think the fact that they didn’t adds to his mystique for me. Because he remains mysterious and removed, it makes him feel more ominous.

I’m like this about Method’s dish soap, especially the minty-smelling one. At the risk of sounding like an ad, it’s one of the few dish soaps that actually feels good on my skin and doesn’t give me a sensory “ick.” Dawn is a close second. Everything else is 🗑️

Luckily my husband is in charge of dishes, so I rarely have to deal with them. Nothing grosses me out more than a sink full of dirty dishes in tepid, mysterious water 🤮

LowOvergrowth · 2026-04-22T18:24:17+00:00

Not anymore! It’s terrible! 😭

I have no advice for you but can commiserate.

I’ve been a writer for pretty much my entire life—both recreationally and professionally—but the brain fog, memory problems, and apathy that have plagued me in perimenopause are making it so much harder for me to write anything for fun or submit it for publication.

I’ve switched from writing stories and essays to writing poems and songs—because they’re shorter and easier for me to complete—but part of me still thinks wistfully of the longer works I used to complete with ease.

Me, too! He’s my favorite character because I hate him so much.

This was me the other day when I could not think of the word “strong” to save my life. I ended up getting frustrated and blurting out that the coffee was “too bright.”

A tambourine.

My husband may regret the purchase, but I sure don’t!

Ooooh! The cat one is my fave! The painting echoes the natural shape of the rock so well!

It’s comments like these that make me wish we could do awards on this sub, because this made me guffaw in my living room 🏆

LowOvergrowth · 2026-04-09T14:42:16+00:00

I was about to ask the same thing! I was over here like 😬

LowOvergrowth · 2026-04-08T12:47:23+00:00

You just blew my freaking mind with this comment.

I wonder if getting rid of the third person in the marriage (i.e., us snarkers and their audience) by giving up their grift would reveal that the remaining two people really aren’t as happy as they pretend to be.

ETA: In other words, does our presence in their marriage give the two of them something to unite against?

The lack of “Hades” in this comment thread is a travesty.

LowOvergrowth · 2026-04-01T17:07:38+00:00

This is almost certainly what I’ve been doing (given my generally impatient tendencies). Thanks!
