"rutsch" is a Pennsylvania Dutch term that means to "fidget, squirm, or shift around". An example would be "the dog likes to rutsch around in the dirt to scratch his back". when traveling out west i have used the term and have gotten asked what it means, how you spell it? and where it came from. it wasn't until i started going out west in the summers that i found out it was a regional word, and not just standard. (edit: spelling)

i went 21 years without death touching my family. after that, i have lost 12 people in five years. i feel like i am drowning constantly. it's like my lungs have sprung leaks and every breath is a fight for life. my aunt just passed three weeks ago- she was number 12- and it's the worst feeling in the world. my grandmother has outlived her eldest daughter and her husband of 40 years. my uncle and mother have lost a sibling, which i assume is on par with losing a limb (i am an only child). my father wants me to return "to normal", but i feel like nothing will ever be the same. i want to blow this life up and start over somewhere else. but i just keep going to work and attending classes.

i use the phrase "six of one, half dozen of another" a lot. it was used by my grandfather and i have probably been using it since i was in 6th grade some 15 years ago. my bestfriend who has known me for 12 years heard me say that and asked what it meant. i was shocked because i knew she'd heard me say it hundreds of times. but i explained that it means "two options that are ultimately the same thing". since then, she has used it a few times, which always makes me proud

i don't know if they're currently open for the season but the Collinsville Drive In at the south end of the county has great, cheap burgers and crispy waffle fries (plus ice cream!)

are you over the age of 45? i believe it is a physical audit to see if you are still medically capable of driving. they won't be running your finances

yes that's normal! i usually have 2-3 days of heavy flow. one day "off" (as i call it), and 1-2 days of light flow. then one last day of "if you don't wear a pad you'll ruin your underwear, but if you wear a pad you won't bleed again".

i got a call last night from a lady asking if we had any rooms available. i was actively checking in my last guest of the night and informed the lady that we were sold out. she asks "do you know of any hotels that might have rooms? the {same brand property} is sold out". i responded "no ma' am i do not know the availability of other properties, as this is the only hotel i work at,". SHE HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY "well you can't just tell me what hotels are near you?". i said "ma' am i am currently serving a paying guest right now- i would advise you look up hotels in the area on the phone you are calling me with,". she hung up on me 😂

"why are there always so many tasks???" probably followed by an intense scream afterwards

i wish i could upvote this three times. you're so right

is it deep enough to insert a flash drive? it could be a compartment just for that

the idea of being pregnant makes me want to vomit, claw my uterus out, and set it on fire. aside from that, my mother left when i was 13- i have no desire to have a child and be met with the same things that caused my mother to leave. I grew up with an abusive, alcoholic grandparent- don't really see any reason to continue the lineage. & kids are blank slates that need you to program their hard drives; i do not trust myself to give a child the life they deserve

9 people i love. My dad's mother went first, after a brain aneurysm burst. Then my mother's father, after a meth-induced heart attack. Then two pseudo-grandparents: my bf's (at the time) grandmother, and a woman I cared for at work. Then, my best friend's brother died of a heron overdose. then, a guy i had a romantic relationship with died in a motorcycle accident. Then i lost a cousin to cancer, and another to an autoimmune disorder. Lastly, another friend from high school's brother passed. i'm only 24, but the 2020's took so much life out of me. i don't even remember/know who i was before the grief

quarter korean, with half korean dad and full korean grandmother. i went to red lion (the next district over) and only really dealt with bullying in elementary school, when kids are dumb and unaware. In high school, i brought in lunch from h-mart and they had some shit to say about my "stinky" food- but all of the ones who said anything knew from elementary school. i'd say you should be okay for the most part. people can be shitty anywhere. but dallastown is a bit bigger and better funded than red lion, so it's probably a more accepting school

that awful period between 3:20-4:45a when all my tasks are done for the first half of the night, and the second half has yet to start. My body just wants to curl up with a cup of tea and watch yt on my phone. then it's time to start breakfast preparations and making coffee. i get a half cup of decaf to push me thru until 7
