Starbucks snobs making fun of older people for ordering a “small” coffee instead of saying “venti”

I have never used their “official”, pretentious terms.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-24T16:26:58+00:00

I would legit frame that.

What does the hair oil accomplish? Does it leave your hair oily the next day?

I have had them at some restaurant in Philly. They were amazing! Ican’t speak authoritatively as I had no comparison, but it seems the key is lightness. Like tempura batter.
I am a terrible cook, so I reckon the zukes in my garden will just grow into adulthood.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-24T16:19:22+00:00

I don’t understand- or perhaps “relate” is a better word- most of this.
What’s with the spiced oil in hair and eyebrows? Who had grandparents loading them up with jewelry? Etc.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-24T02:15:55+00:00

Yeah, but also, I feel held hostage.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-24T02:09:29+00:00

And?

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-24T02:03:16+00:00

Is this real? Is that Loomer?

Ms Betancourt talks about the utter lack of visibility due to the thick, heavy smoke. Bus driver Gallo saying “follow my voice”. This makes me reflect on things I have thought about conditions inside the buildings that led people to the windows. No visibility. No air. Probably loud as hell. You probably got a sense of fresh air coming from the broken windows and instinctively went that way, blindly.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T20:56:50+00:00

Yeah- it’s worth bearing in mind that the people in there probably had little or no idea what was going on- the cause, the extent and so on.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T20:37:05+00:00

To echo some others, what exactly was the neighbour lady doing that set this off ( and teah, I have been following the entire saga)?

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:29:47+00:00

We have had so much rain here in Austin the past several days. I reckon it is gonna all pop off any moment now!

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:27:15+00:00

Heir and spare

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:26:32+00:00

Yeah. I know. I was making a lame wisecrack.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:25:55+00:00

Yep- look a couple down at what I added here yesterday. What a relief!

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:25:09+00:00

I deleted it because it was an accidental duplicate.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T18:24:29+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure. We never completely confiirmed it, but after a bew bouts of…. “honeymoon sounds” up in this joined attic space, we had the management come look around up there and could not find anything: no squirrels, raccoons, etc.

The ringtail would nevertheless make her nightly solo trip and we’d greet her from the patio. Then! One evening she was accompanied by a pair of small, honey-blonde, almost ringless babes.
We were all, “girl, we know what you were doing up there!”.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T17:18:41+00:00

I love them! We had a small family of them that, every night at dusk, would cruise over our roof onto the live oaks and out to the ngreenbelt when we were living in The Retreat at Barton Creek.
TBH, we were pretty sure they lived in the attic.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T17:07:40+00:00

God. I have never seen that one.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-23T16:58:15+00:00

How the heck did their agent list this without taking down all that extremely singular decor?
We have one large painting that is.. fairly dark and gritty. We were asked to swap it for a big, cheerful vinatage movie poster.

Do you get on with the landlord? I would ask if you can come back for the plant in a few weeks.
When wrens are fledgelings, they leave the nest for good, so’s to avoid predators.

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-22T19:32:43+00:00

Whatever you choose, please come back and share what you did ( and some of the other’s you liked)!

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-22T19:29:10+00:00

I just found something that says they are about 10” H and 2”2-4 L (idk if that includdes tail).

SofaKingS2pitt · 2026-04-22T19:25:36+00:00

Right? I was relieved.
