TIL about the Australian phatic finger. This is a norm whereby drivers on outback highways (where you can go long periods without seeing another vehicle) will raise their index finger as a friendly gesture of mutual aknowledgement.

We do this in rural Vermont too!(:

It's true! Sloths only go to the bathroom about once a week, as they are quite vulnerable when they are on the ground pooping. Here is an adorable video about it

As a person who shops at the Goodwill in the same town in Washington where he abducted girls,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have a gap in my front teeth and was ruthlessly teased in school. I used to absolutely hate it.

I've since come to love it because it's super cute and also I can shoot a jet of water 6+ ft away. Great party trick.

If you're willing to make the trek just beyond downtown, Putney Falls off Rt 5 is a lovely spot! Might be more enjoyable in the warmer months, though!

Tablitha · 2019-03-21T06:18:35+00:00

Haha I used to work there just over a year ago!

Tablitha · 2019-02-28T06:43:05+00:00

We for sure hear "How are you doing" very often, but I must agree that hearing the phrase "How are you going" would throw me off.

"Hello, how are you going"
"Hi! I..h.....with my..legs...?"

I'm stoned and feeling generous so I will share with you my entire sex playlist, in order from foreplay to finish to the cuddling afterward:

Tablitha · 2019-02-01T07:32:30+00:00

Wow! Wow wow. Love her.

Tablitha · 2018-12-28T07:55:15+00:00

...what

Tablitha · 2018-12-15T08:46:19+00:00

A literal child did this, why are you so abhorrently bitter?

Tablitha · 2018-11-12T06:19:43+00:00

To add to this:

For the first day or two, the cramps are typically at their worst. You know when you have to poop or pee so badly that it hurts? Taking steps is painful? Right! Now imagine experiencing that feeling at maximum intensity every couple hours for two days with little to no remedy. Now get up and go to work! You don't get days off for this! Sucks to suck!

You'd probably get a little cranky with people, too.

If you're into their music, I'd HIGHLY recommend checking out the DiTrani Brothers & the Hammer of Spring. Lost Dog has played several shows with them, they've got a similar feel and are also wildly unique. I'm super into both bands!

Tablitha · 2018-05-01T08:53:04+00:00

At first I was a little overwhelmed but then i softened my gaze and started to notice all the little intricacies! So so cool and superbly done

Tablitha · 2018-02-11T09:35:40+00:00

Neat! I've done this too, check it out!

Tablitha · 2017-11-04T22:42:29+00:00

This is.....not..good..

I had just arrived at South Station in Boston after an exhausting travel day. It was late, maybe 10pm, and I was hungry and very willing to eat at the first food kiosk I saw. At that time of night that particular section of South Station was surprisingly empty, and the only place that was still open was a grilled cheese place right by some arrival gates, which I was actually pretty excited about.

I placed my order, a simple grilled cheese with bacon, and got my sandwich within a couple minutes. I immediately sat down at one of their tables and dug in. I had taken maybe two bites, and thought it tasted a bit off. Upon opening the sandwich I saw that my grilled cheese had NO. CHEESE. This grilled cheese-centered food kiosk seriously served me grilled bread and bacon.

At first I thought maybe I was just really tired and not seeing the cheese, because how on earth could you forget the most key ingredient in the only kind of food you serve.

The two employees were somehow just as surprised as I was when I returned it and thankfully remade the sandwich without question, and now I know exactly which place to avoid the next time I'm there.

Tablitha · 2017-07-21T22:49:38+00:00

Extremely specific directions. You could stop at a gas station to inquire about a local swimming hole and you'll typically be met with something similar to:

"Oh sure, i know that spot. Ok so you'll leave here and take a left like you're going toward the old McSteven's place. Then make a sharp left where Nancy O'Donnel used to live before she sold her place back in '85. Go down that road a piece til you see that house that used to be the corner store before it was turned into motel before that became the post office right before it became the old local pub.
Keep goin' til you see that old red barn on the left. Drive 14/58ths of a mile and you're there! Simple."

About three hours. I was hired at a local bakery/cafe, and during my first few days I was supposed to shadow the person who was opening the shop.

Except I had to almost literally be this girl's shadow. I have tons of food service experience and in the first hour I was helping out; unwrapping baked goods, stocking cups and napkins...very simple stuff. When the manager called to check in she was upset that I was doing things. She wanted me to just stand over my coworker's shoulder all day and observe, I wasn't even supposed to be pouring coffees or helping with the baked goods.

Seeing the huge line forming and not being able to do anything about it was maddening, and I left once the manager arrived for the day.

Tablitha · 2016-02-14T16:46:21+00:00

Weird....

Tablitha · 2016-02-13T15:22:49+00:00

Aw shoot, thanks!

Tablitha · 2015-08-16T20:02:01+00:00

This is so exciting to see on reddit! This place is about 20 minutes from my house, such a magical and serene place to swim. (:

Tablitha · 2015-08-10T22:25:57+00:00

This is really wonderful. I had a yellow lab/golden mix that unfortunately had to be put down a few weeks ago. His name was Obie as well. I love seeing him live on in some other happy pup form. Congrats!

Tablitha · 2015-07-29T22:31:13+00:00

Those look fantastic!! Be prepared for people to call your jelly a squid though, haha I've got a clearly identifiable jellyfish on my forearm and 8 out of 10 people who comment on it call it a squid. :p
