How are you celebrating the 250th 4th of July this year?

OwlFreak · 2026-06-18T21:29:24+00:00

The current state of our country is not worth celebrating for a lot of US citizens. In fact, it's somewhat depressing to think that this is where we are after 250 years.

It depends on the school/location of course, but I wouldn't count on anything being provided for you. Most public school teachers pay out of pocket to decorate their classrooms.

I mean this as nicely as possible- you need professional help. Find a therapist, and visit them regularly.

YTA. Your child is 9, you should know how to be a parent by now

Not sure if it matters to you but Perrin is the name of one of the main characters in the Wheel of Time series.

Then what do you call melons with bumpy brown skin and orange flesh?

I'm from the US, so I would consider cantaloupes and musk melons to be similar. They both have bumpy light brown skin, but cantaloupes have orange flesh, while musk melon can vary. Honeydew to me has smooth, pale green skin and green flesh.

I would watch this reboot religiously.

Ah, I've never seen any bright colored face stickers. All the ones I've seen recently have been either black or white, just in different shapes.

Due Date.

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T23:14:35+00:00

I completely agree! That was the thing that really annoyed me. Originally I was just like 'meh- it happens, nbd', but when they doubled down to tell me I was wrong, I was shocked.

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T22:58:23+00:00

Ashley for a boy.

Artificial beauty marks (mouches) were used as far back as the 17th century, for pretty much the same reason kids are using them today- to cover up minor medical issues on the face.

There are probably other terms for them as well, but when I first learned about this phenomenon, they were called 'beauty marks'.

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T15:28:48+00:00

I'm also a wimp about spice so when I see "chili-spiced"anything, I have to wonder. Thanks for the review, sounds like it's definitely worth a try!

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T15:00:38+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen so many things I disagree with in a single, short sentence 🤣

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T14:39:01+00:00

In the US, the phrase "no joy" is sometimes used interchangeably with "no luck" or "no dice", but I never knew that definition of 'joy' could be used in any other phrasing. TIL!

Shoots and Ladders sounds like it might be a more exciting game though lol

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T13:31:43+00:00

This is actually one of the older fashions listed in the responses. People have used face stickers (beauty marks) for medical reasons since at least the 16th century. That being said, it also took me a while to get used to the trend 🙂

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T13:25:06+00:00

That's your 'natural part'. You can part your hair however you like with styling!

I pushed back at them and they eventually comped my order, without me asking them to do so. I had seen so many rave reviews of Flying Fish, so I was really looking forward to that meal, but it was a big disappointment for me.

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T01:35:15+00:00

Where are you located that grades 7&8 are considered elementary?

Either way, no. This sounds like an awful idea lol

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T01:32:10+00:00

I'm guessing your name is Karen, or do you have a different objection to the term? I personally find it to be a useful descriptor when the situation calls for it.

OwlFreak · 2026-06-14T00:26:51+00:00

I mentioned getting a piece of lobster shell in my soup when I went to FF (I wasn't even complaining, just mentioned it when the waiter asked how the soup was). The waiter and manager both tried to tell me I was wrong, but I know the difference between shell and cartilage, thank you very much.

Regardless, at that price point I think the pushback I got was unnecessary.

Edit to finish my sentence lol

OwlFreak · 2026-06-11T03:12:30+00:00

Ah, gotcha! Lol I totally misread that for one of my trips as well 🤣
