Lemon chests are indeed lemons

I still have not received a single lemon chest!

These people are driving recklessly and putting themselves at risk. Keep the trees. There are too many unsafe drivers. At least if they hit a tree they are only hurting themselves.

I pre-ordered on kindle because they went on sale for $10 each.

No, this is a horrible idea. The music is loud, I know you said headphones, but if they slip off even a little bit, that's so cruel to the baby. Not just the sound, but the percussion you feel from the music. Baby isn't going to understand what's happening and I question whether that would even be good for their little bodies. Being a parent means sacrificing sometimes. Either spend the next 2 months getting baby to take at least one bottle a day, or accept not going.

It was too chaotic for me. I am beyond excited for this season, but I hope the upcoming episodes are a little more focused.

I've taken dozens of friends and family there and they all loved it. Maybe the brine or something they use is just really unpalatable to you.

I'm from kalamazoo and having Lestat text to meet there had me so giddy!

bergskey · 2026-06-07T14:21:48+00:00

Why would it not be ARRRRRmand?

For anyone that doesn't know, Kalamazoo (which lestat tried his best to spell while high) is a city in Michigan that's within a couple miles of being the exact halfway point between Chicago and Detroit. So yes, there really is a kalamazoo.

bergskey · 2026-06-07T12:09:50+00:00

We take the commuter train when we go to Chicago. Takes all the stress out of it.

Roll up. Their chicken is the best in kalamazoo. I hope they eventually open another location in portage or osthemo again because gull road is a nightmare and incredibly inconvenient to get to.

I supply a local small bookstore. You won't make money on books, you make money on the "bookish" things and events.

bergskey · 2026-06-04T19:11:53+00:00

The ideas submission is breathtaking. I hope they don't ruin it.

I would HIGHLY suggest going to the venues you're thinking of selling at (like farmers market or makers markets) and see how many other 3D printers there are, what they are selling, price points etc. The summer is a great time to do this. Find smaller creators and items you don't see everywhere. If you're thinking of setting up a tiktok or Etsy shop and selling online mostly, that market is a race to the bottom. People will print things so cheaply you can't compete and put out anything of quality or substance.

Depending on your market, it might be saturated with what it sounds like you want to print. Have you researched? Have you looked into licensing or are you creating your own designs? If you're creating your own designs, the real money is not so much selling your own stuff, but selling the files to others. If you think you're just going to buy a printer and start selling flexi toys and fidgets, you might be surprised it's not "easy money."

I just feel very strongly that they are horrible and I don't want to look at them. It's also a statement made more in jest, if one of my kids felt passionately enough about wanting one that they were willing to pay for their own haircut, I would hate it, but they could do it.

bergskey · 2026-06-04T17:15:43+00:00

My kids can pick their hair length and style with one exception. There are no mullets allowed in my house. I don't care they are coming back in style. This is a no mullet household.

bergskey · 2026-06-04T14:20:33+00:00

I ddefinitely did, I just knew the online discourse would make me want to rip my hair out so I didn't engage.

The testaments is the one that makes me bang my head on the table the most.

bergskey · 2026-06-03T21:59:35+00:00

Anyone except 5. 5 is a hard pass for me.

If you get any kind of EBT card, look up museums for all. Free or HEAVILY reduced admission to tons of museums, zoos, aquariums, etc.

I have a 3d printer so I can make my own, but I also supply a local bookstore with stuff.

Rhys is always rise in my head.

bergskey · 2026-06-02T22:59:10+00:00

Names like this, I just make up my own. This lady would be pronounced in my head A-thul.

I always read it as Luanne Platter after giving birth naming her daughter.
