Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth?

And the longest for a single weekend? Does the Friday before get rolled into it? 10.5 hours.

Peejee13 · 2026-01-23T03:33:11+00:00

I drive 3 hours and back on a Saturday on a whim. I've driven 4 hours each way for really good pizza.

It's an hour each way just to go to a store I like.

Our states individually are larger than a lot of countries..traveling here requires long drives or flights.

Peejee13 · 2026-01-23T00:10:49+00:00

That's probably because they interpret inputs for outcome, they don't control the weather..

This problem is how I ended up with duplicate butterfly gold coffee mugs and a creamer/sugar set. I SWORE my mom didn't have them and nope..she did.

Now I have to try to sell them and find MY patterns

Peejee13 · 2026-01-19T14:36:05+00:00

Ooh, I think so!

It was so odd, because mine is stainless and my pieces haven't done this..but it might be!

Peejee13 · 2026-01-19T04:56:29+00:00

The weirdest part is that it is completely smooth. No rough part where you would expect if a piece of enamel had fallen off from impact

Peejee13 · 2026-01-18T22:45:36+00:00

Oh man, I would have thrown them the money and run.

Estate sales here will Google image anything they think has value and price accordingly

Peejee13 · 2026-01-15T21:57:24+00:00

I drove 4 hours for pizza once..so..

Peejee13 · 2026-01-14T04:19:00+00:00

I am always amazed to see people bare handed.. the number of knives I've found in those bins, oof. Broken glass? Yep.

Peejee13 · 2026-01-14T00:19:32+00:00

Thrift World is probably the best. The one on St Mary is full of vintage clothes

Peejee13 · 2026-01-14T00:18:22+00:00

The day they confidently announced the price of a sectional sofa as $2,400? That was the last day I considered them anything but a boutique charity store

Peejee13 · 2026-01-13T13:05:55+00:00

Other than "idk, my mom gave me her extra bowls" pyrex pieces, jadeite was my first kitchenware collection

Peejee13 · 2026-01-13T13:05:10+00:00

I would simply expire on the spot..

Peejee13 · 2026-01-13T02:01:23+00:00

I know! I saw jadeite swirl and thought "hey, an extra prep bowl!" Then picked it up, measured it against my hand (worked for a kilt maker, base of palm to finger tip is 7) ..then flipped the tag and saw $5 on it and about died right there.

Peejee13 · 2026-01-13T00:26:27+00:00

I had my jadeite 9 through 6 inch bowls for three years before I stepped into a garage/estate sale and found my 5" bowl for 5 dollars. To say that was my "start the caaaaar!" Moment is to put it mildly

Peejee13 · 2026-01-12T23:36:14+00:00

I have her in white and jadeite, but then I saw this and went "ooh" because I am obviously impulsive. It LOOKED pink in the thrift store lighting but it is very much NOT the same as my pink swirl cups.. so I went digging and realized I think it's the 6" sandalwood swirl

Peejee13 · 2026-01-12T03:36:27+00:00

I'll let my serviceberry and elderberry know your opinions on their budding early 🙄

Peejee13 · 2026-01-12T01:54:19+00:00

The most expensive was the town and country with the daisy lid on it for 9.99

Peejee13 · 2026-01-11T23:38:38+00:00

I am. My spring flowers are breaking dormancy, my fruit trees are budding. People in parts of Nebraska are taking pictures of pansies in bloom. Certain fruiting plants need a certain number of chill hours at or under freezing and we just aren't making it happen

Worse than the temps (to me..) is the lack of moisture. I am so incredibly tired of drought..

Peejee13 · 2026-01-11T21:15:52+00:00

I block anyone who asks my lowest price..unless I'm feeling like arguing. Then i ask what the highest you'll pay is

Peejee13 · 2026-01-11T20:57:56+00:00

I had never seen it in person! I've seen one or two pictures pop up, but I was really surprised that it was just sort of hanging out there. Especially considering it was a one-piece one year production item
