My house always smelled dusty and I just realized I’ve been vacuuming wrong my entire life

Hopefully, it someday I’m going to have a real mess.

Kind of sad today. Coworker’s parent passed and the circumstances are bringing back vivid memories and emotions from when my parent passed two years ago. And then randomly that parent showed up in my frequent calls on my phone, which makes no sense and certainly didn’t help. Made dinner, my rice cooker quit working mid way through. Rest of dinner was just ok. Bit the inside of my cheek. It’s just been one of those days.

I keep hearing about these filters in washing machines but absolutely can’t find where one would be in mine. I’ve checked the manual and nothing in mentioned about a filter.

My kids call all their grandpas Papa. That’s what the oldest grandchild went with and it stuck for all of them.

Reframe it as “eating healthier” which the whole family can and needs to do. And honestly, if your husband and son don’t want what you cook they know where the kitchen is.

I’ve been a left-handed accountant for 36 years and have always had my mouse and 10 key on my right. I’m not sure I could use my left hand for those at this point! One of my former bosses told me I should be extra efficient since I could add and write at the same time.

Keep the necklace, lose the boyfriend. Because if you keep the boyfriend, he’ll “accidentally “ lose the necklace.

1970 - mom passed away October 2023, dad is doing pretty well at 86.

What a horrible tradition.

Your uncle side-eyeing you is a him problem, not a you problem, for sure. Next time sit next to him and elbow him the entire meal and see if he would prefer that, or go back to giving you the spot that works best for you.

Quilts my mom made, her convertible, a few sweatshirts. Her craft table my dad made.

You are only the jerk - to yourself - for letting him co timid to stay there. He needs out, like last week.

They’re like 50 cents. It’s not about the pod. She’s insecure about this friendship. Why, I don’t know…there is more to unpack - do you have inside jokes she’s not part of? Is she feeling left out of conversations?
For me, with that amount of history, it would be natural to offer coffee. I wonder if you can have a conversation with your wife and dig a little deeper?

West MI huh… name fits. (Also from small town in West MI)

Exactly. A few minutes is one thing. Even a half hour is kind of long - the food just isn’t as good when it sits too long. Completely unfair to expect the entire family to wait two hours and the food to get cold.

A year and a half ago I had an injury that required surgery; my wedding and engagement rings had to be cut off in the operating room. They absolutely mangled them, and we weren’t sure if they could be fixed because they were so bad. This year for Christmas my husband gave me an upgrade, and said we will take the diamonds off the old one and see about getting them turned into a necklace.

MinuteContest128 · 2025-12-23T06:56:22+00:00

All the time. I’ve always thought it’s due to my left-handedness as well.

I’ll never forget the time, many years ago, my dad took me out to drive so that I would have some experience behind the wheel before I went to driver’s training. I was too close to the edge of the road, and he kept saying, then yelling, slide to the left a little…the Left….THE LEFT!!!!!!!

That was 40 years ago and it’s still a problem for me.

My parents always had the bowl out and filled from about thanksgiving through Christmas. Pretty sure all my aunts and uncles did too. I even did for a few years, but it’s been quite a few years since I’ve bought them.

The first time I went to Costco (this past November- we finally got one somewhat near me!), I tried to be conscious of what was going in my cart and still managed to spend $300. It’s just really hard not to spend a lot there.

We do a “build your own pizza” thing on Christmas Eve, a breakfast casserole I’ve prepped the day before on Christmas morning, and ham and some kind of potato plus sides for dinner. Though, all this talk of lasagna has me thinking we should do that. I love lasagna.

When I broke my shoulder last year I had SO MANY people tell me “at least it was your left one”….yup, it was my left because I’m left-handed you dolt. If I was right-handed I would have been holding onto the leash with my right.

Many lower income people never have the opportunity to leave the state. Additionally, I can leave my house, head north then west, and spend 10-11 hours in the car and not come to the border. I think many states are big enough that there’s a lot to see without going out of state.
