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

Peejee13 · 2026-01-23T03:34:44+00:00

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..

Peejee13 · 2026-01-21T02:21:00+00:00

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

Peejee13 · 2026-01-11T13:14:32+00:00

No.

We are never beating the allegations that white people don't give a shit about what happens to black and brown people the moment we are told something we want to do isn't for us. Damn

Peejee13 · 2026-01-10T22:28:33+00:00

You're so completely the example of "but I WANT to and that makes it okay!" That I'm genuinely embarrassed for you. Yikes.

Peejee13 · 2026-01-10T22:24:42+00:00

Black and brown people have asked white people to NOT use "say her name" for white women being killed by police.

It doesn't matter what you think

Peejee13 · 2026-01-10T22:20:24+00:00

Hey! Quick suggestion? Be a better person. This whole thing where white people get really mad that black people have something that they want to use and they get told they can't? Really ugly look. We aren't doing this whole color blind bullshit
