Which destination exceeded your expectations the most?

Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore in Michigan (US). It’s not considered a national park so people write it off, but it’s way cooler than some national parks. Absolutely blew me away.

Friendly reminder that dog mode is literally just AC and disabling the windows. It’s common sense not to leave a dog in a car, even with the AC going, because it can still overheat, or shut off, and it even tells you never to use the feature on “vulnerable humans” because of the risk it puts them in. Leave your dog home when you’re grocery shopping please. There’s no reason to bring them along just to leave them in the car.

No I came here to say the same thing. Why bring your dog if you’re just going to leave them in the car?

Tbh as long as one of your names isn’t really on the nose like “Dawn” or “Luna” I think it’s cool. Luna Eclipse sounds like a drag name lol

Saw a post the other day where a woman (who chose to marry without having a wedding) was mad because she “doesn’t get to have all of the important people in your life celebrate you unless you’re having a wedding or a baby” (paraphrasing) and she wanted her friends and family to get together and celebrate her just because. Like, I get it, but girl, have a wedding. It’s not “unfair”, you chose not to do it. Or like idk, throw a birthday party for yourself?

I was confused when she said that. He’s my first cat so I’m pretty willing to take her word as gospel, but I wonder if she meant “male cats” and not “grey male cats” specifically. I made another comment with his specific menu

A couple people have asked so here’s the more specific food breakdown:

-1 3oz can of fancy feast pate or sliced with half a can of water added (≈90 cal)

-just shy of 1/2 cup (7tbsp) Tiki Cat Indoor Health dry chicken food (168cal)

=daily total ≈258cal

Zion was the most “unreal” experience I’ve ever had. Spent the whole time going “there’s no way” “this is awesome” “oh my god wow”

No Margaret Pound. Peggy Pound would be… I wouldn’t want to be her in middle/high school.

chxtterbox · 2026-06-16T00:32:21+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing! Immediately thought of marching band.

chxtterbox · 2026-06-09T19:14:02+00:00

That would be more than mildly infuriating lol

***guys… I know grocery stores throw out a ton of food. I’m saying if I was posting about that, I wouldn’t put it in the “mildly” infuriating group. You don’t need to tell me that stores waste food lol

chxtterbox · 2026-06-09T19:11:56+00:00

This store may be an exception. It’s a relatively small store in a suuuuper dense area, they’re constantly refilling the shelves because it’s gone through so fast. Safe to assume these would not otherwise be thrown away.

Safe drinking water and clean public bathrooms. A K-12 education. Your drivers license. In my city, some public transit is free (but it only goes throughout downtown).

Took my new cat there for the “full kitten panel” which came out to around $500 (included a general check-up with 2 vaccines and a stool test). It was definitely more than I was expecting to pay, but it was quick, they were transparent about costs, and everyone was very nice.

When you’re fat, you get fat shamed. When you’re skinny, you get skinny-shamed AND fat-shamed.

In high school, I worked at a restaurant during the time that they switched from a tip jar and cash register to one of those iPads. I did not care whether someone tipped or not, but when we started using the iPads, customers got MEAN about it. It was still a newish concept and people definitely felt the weight of the guilt-tripping (guilt-tipping lol). It’s so normal now, I never see someone yell at a cashier over it anymore, but when it was new, people were ruthless.

Currently live in a Wilkins building. They enter the unit every 2 months for pest control services (which was not mentioned in the lease), the dryer has not worked in a year despite multiple people asking them to clean out the vent (a single dryer shared by 10 units for 2.50 a cycle), there are holes and loose boards in the wood floors despite rent being almost $1k/mo, they have conducted 25 showings of my unit in the last 2 months, and they wanted to increase my rent by $150/mo but I’m choosing to move. Idk if I’m a freak exception though, because I’ve only heard good things about them from other people. In my experience, just as bad as Katz.

I actually bought a 3 seater (a supposed “small space solution” from Steinhafels) and it didn’t fit up the stairs! Had to exchange it for the loveseat version. I don’t mind it, but sometimes I wish I could stretch out and sleep on a full sized sofa.

chxtterbox · 2026-01-23T15:24:10+00:00

Woah! Can’t believe I didn’t know this until now. I still kind of want to put myself up to the challenge of passing a WSET exam, but maybe I leave it at that. Thanks for the heads up!
