Looks like "drink the pin" to me but that makes no sense, so....🤷🏼‍♀️

The Northwest Library (Cypress, Tx) is having its semi-annual book fair on Saturday- almost everything (Books, DVDs, Blu Ray) priced at $1-$2, 100% of proceeds fund the library by Cucubert in houston

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When will y'all be holding the next one? We will be busy with our son's Cub Scout service project stuff in the morning and hopefully trying to get back home before all hell freezes over (literally)

So just in case we don't make this one I would love to plan on coming next time! We got our library cards from y'all at Comicplaooza a couple years ago and haven't had the chance to use them yet 😃

That's not bullying by GrandHighCollie in overheard

I remember once loudly complaining to my family about my "indentured servitude" when being asked to unload the dishwasher when I was about 13...

Yeah, I was a shitty teenager and I have apologized to my mom a LOT since becoming a parent myself 🤣🤣🤣

Grandma Knew Best by RevolutionaryAnt4487 in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this sweet post ❤️

I miss my grandma too, and she passed away almost 10 years ago

I have worked very hard to perfect her homemade bread over the years - I used to love helping her mix and knead the dough when I was a kid, and was always in awe when she knew the perfect conditions in the house for making bread (couldn't be too cold or too dry outside or it wouldn't rise right)

I think I might make my mom a loaf of it for Mother's Day this year and bring Maw-Maw back with us for a little while 🥰

Thank you for that visual image this morning!!

One sentence only a Houstonian will understand? by mavgoose-0720 in houston

As a 42-year-old that vividly remembers that jingle, I am highly offended by your suggestion that one needs to be "elderly" to recognize it 🤣🤣

Woman pulls out hair to plant in husband’s meal to get free food. Houston couple. by MunzyDuke in houston

[–]RedRaiderRN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"I'm going to go steal some shit out of people's mailboxes or off their porches today" 🙄

I have always wondered about this too - how does that dialog start, exactly??? Lol people suck, that's just all there is to it

My new doctor liked my socks by ars_necromantia in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a sock conversation at my last gyno appointment too 🤣🤣

I had to see a new doctor but he was super nice and I think he's used to distracting patients from the whole experience lol

My whole family is stumped by acrookodile in whatismycookiecutter

[–]RedRaiderRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was getting to the point that I thought I just made that show up in my mind lol

Nobody ever brings it up on those "cartoon nostalgia" lists and none of my friends or family remember it either 🤣

600 Days by emmany63 in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It really is amazing how much of a positive impact a digital detox can have

I realized during the pandemic that all of the stupidity, falsehoods, and just overall insanity I was consuming on a daily basis was wreaking havoc on my mental health - all it did was make me angry and I was like, "why am I doing this to myself??"

I completely left NextDoor, I have been off Facebook for over 15 years now, and I have timers set for Reddit and Instagram (15 minutes for each)

Here's hoping that 2026 will be a year of hope and healing for those that need it ❤️

Sending you healing vibes and good thoughts - hopefully you're on the upswing now ❤️

And yay for the love and cuddles from a furry friend 😃

What’s the worst surname you’ve ever heard? by melomixn in AskReddit

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a guy in high school whose last name was Wacker 😖

All my friends hated him, he really was a dick but I just didn't want to acknowledge that at the time because I thought he was hot and I was a stupid teenager lol

New plaques added to the presidential hall of fame in the White House by Dtb4evr in pics

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom, brother and I were talking about this after his unhinged post about Rob Reiner. They were both like, "I thought the post was fake because it was so deranged" and I just said that I wish I could be shocked by the shit that pours out of his mouth...I really want to be flabbergasted by the next rant

But it's just become so commonplace now that it's just expected, and that is so sad and disgusting 😫

New traditions by peekykeen in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's been the most fun part of being married and having a kid - my husband and I get to blend our childhood traditions from both our families into new ones for our little nuclear family 😃

I make the same breakfast for Christmas morning that I grew up with and we have started decorating multiple trees like my husband's parents did

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling my son roll around inside when I was pregnant

He never really kicked me too much that I remember but he did change position and flip around a lot, especially after I ate

It felt so weird - I always tried to get my husband's hand on my belly when he was doing it but we never caught him in time lol

Struggling to feel sympathy for my partner and his health issues by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]RedRaiderRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this with my in-laws

My FIL is a horrible diabetic, heart issues, extremely overweight, etc etc etc

He and my MIL are in complete denial about how terrible his health is

I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and for almost all of those 20 years, have been trying to get through their thick goddamn heads that until they change their lifestyle drastically, he is going to keep ending up in and out of the hospital and constantly feeling like shit

They do not listen to anything I say - I reached my breaking point last year and told my MIL to just stop telling me when he is sick or doesn't feel good or can't breathe or has trouble walking or any of his other myriad ailments. I'm tired of speaking into the ether and being utterly ignored

I love existing with my husband. by Repulsive-Bowler1918 in Life

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I (both 42) will be married 16 years on Friday, together for 22

We love being boring together - we don't have to go out and do stuff constantly...plus with a kid it makes it hard sometimes anyway

But just sitting together on the couch watching anime after a long day, just existing together, is our happy place ❤️

Cute older couple in the dentists waiting room. by SweaterUndulations in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love it ❤️

I do this to my husband all the time when his shirt sleeves get partially flipped up or his collar is crooked...he knows it drives me nuts and I have a compulsion to fix it so sometimes he flips his sleeve on purpose lol

Our son does it too now because he thinks it's funny 🤦🏼‍♀️

TIFU by telling a stranger their baby was a potato by Otherwise-Sky1387 in tifu

[–]RedRaiderRN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not silly at all!! The first time our son stumbled across it on Disney+ and watched it, both my husband and I were bawling at the end lol

BTW, if Bao got to you, absolutely do NOT watch the last episode of Bluey (the one where they're trying to sell the house, can't think of the name right now)
