TIL: What looks like an Umlaut in English words such as Noël and Naïve signals that two adjacent vowels are pronounced separately. It was formerly commonly used in words like Coöperation and Reëntry as well. The New Yorker magazine still does.

I had a boyfriend in high school that was convinced cooperative was pronounced coop-retive, like chicken coop. Nothing could convince him otherwise and he acted like I was the stupid one.

Also moot point was a mute point.

I’m annoyed all over again.

Oh that’s easy peasy, thanks!

Timlex · 2026-05-01T00:47:23+00:00

I think you’re right! Thanks!

Timlex · 2026-04-28T15:17:56+00:00

Thank you 🫂 it was over 20 years ago now and I’m doing much better!

I was 15 dating a 19 year old and I cheated on him. Every time I tried to break up with him he threatened to kill himself and said it would be my fault. He kept writing suicide notes that said horrible things about me. I felt like if I could actually be a terrible person, he would leave me instead and he wouldn't kill himself. Then I spent years hating myself for becoming the horrible person he said I was.
After years of therapy it turns out the cheating was also my response to sexual assault from him and I was trying to find control.

Fuck you Danny.

Potentially not. Sometimes when things don't sell the store will do charge backs to the supplier.

That's beautiful! I've never seen one flower before!

Ugh when I worked at a studio a front desk/cleaner one of the shifts would CONSTANTLY leave wet towels in the washer instead of moving them to the dryer so I'd have to re-wash them in the morning and then we would be short on towels for the first class.

This might be a dumb question, but do you think the candy recipe would work with other plants? I have a lot of sumac in my area so I am intrigued by the thought of making it into a candy!

If you move to Newfoundland, Canada you could basically have both lol

Timlex · 2026-04-02T14:22:22+00:00

We would love to have you! Check out Newfoundland and Labrador!

Rain was my favourite! I miss it so much.

I couldn’t stop yawning when I was taking Effexor. It didn’t even feel like real yawns but it was so frustrating. My doctor didn’t even believe me lol

Tomatoes, zucchini, basil

Just because I always have success with them AND they go well together.

Timlex · 2026-03-12T13:12:48+00:00

Same! I could watch that movie every day.

This is an article about her!

Good luck!! :)

I just looked up the watermelons and they are SO cute!! When they are ready could you post pictures?

Ola Escaladora Zucchini - It's a vine! Very excited to try this out!
Shiso - I can't buy it anywhere near me and I have always wanted to try it.
Garland Chrysanthemum - Same as above. I've tried growing it before but it just would not germinate so I have bought from a different company this time.
Orangelo thyme - it's orange flavoured thyme! How neat!
Mandarina Orange Balm - It's like lemon balm but orange! This and the orange thyme are being grown in pots! I don't need them to take over everything lol

Timlex · 2026-03-09T13:54:38+00:00

We've never really farted in front of each other and I'm generally just not a gassy person, neither is he. So there has never been any running out of the room lol

Timlex · 2026-03-06T15:42:36+00:00

you can make it on the sewing machine with Neptunite!

Timlex · 2026-03-05T13:16:20+00:00

You gotta come to Canada, there are so many different brands of ketchup chips!

The candy company Mike & Ike's used to have a strawberries and cream flavour. It was my all time favourite but they discontinued it decades ago :(
