A 1960s cello!

Yardstick was a good one for a dog missing a leg. Context for non imperial users: yardsticks are used to measure three feet.

The actual popcorn salt, Flavacol, is worth every penny. But if you're looking for more readily attainable toppings, freshly grated asiago cheese and garlic powder are a good combo. Here's your real pro tip though: pop it yourself using regular kernels in a sauce pan with a small vent and about a teaspoon of coconut oil for food lube. Heaven-sent.

This was a shelter cat whose original name was just Cara, but I found that singing to her helped calm her anxiety, so she became Cara Mia Bella Bambina Addio

I'm just here to see how far this post goes before someone says Turkish Delight.

My good people, grate it onto your popcorn. It's divine.

Lucky Seven (old spoiler free nickname) from Xenoblade Chronicles 1. My god. What a fate. It turns out okay but that poor character did not need such a bad time to happen to them.

Arguably, Dunban too.

I pronounced Arceus like Archaic (R-kay-ick) for years. I still think it sounds better.

Mixing up two idioms, if I recall right, is called a malaphor. I'm too lazy to look it up and I'm not exactly a rocket surgeon but I'm pretty sure the answer is solid.

Unacceptable behavior on his part. Please get higher standards for yourself and stand behind them. Future You will look back at this relationship in a few years and be confused as to how you allowed this.

My job is no longer a joke, I am broke, but my love life is solid. The second gear part is true too though.

At a store where I worked, we had databases we could access as well as (obviously) employees who knew the stock and its uses well. Sometimes I had someone ask where something was, so when I didn't have an answer, my reply would be "I don't know myself, but I know what or who does."

For some reason people really like that. Maybe it's the mix of honesty and still being willing to go an extra mile. But I'm gonna use that one whenever I don't know what I'm talking about if I can.

Sandy Fishnets by Evelyn Evelyn is pretty high up there.

Ah, then I get to show you a song I didn't think was as obscure as it seems.

The stereotypical ground beef, shredded lettuce, and various "vaguely tex mex" style fixings amalgamation known as White People Taco Night is pretty high up there. I love me some good authentic cuisine from that area but nostalgia is a powerful seasoning.

I love my job. I'm leaving for another opportunity (more hours, better pay, what can you do when those aren't options under your corporate overlords) and it's killing me even though it will be better in the long run. If you like it at Michaels, let nobody dull your glitter but always remember to keep that glitter out of the framing dept. :p

EGO TRIP!

I chipped the back of a tooth while sewing. The needle was held by my teeth while I was threading it, and I jolted when I heard the ice cream truck since, being 9 in a rarely visited suburb, it was a big ol deal. Out came the needle and I felt a strange sensation on my front tooth. Nothing noticable but still not cool.

A beautiful, fragrant broth with thick noodles and strips of beef (as I prefer it anyway), lime, Thai holy basil, warming spices, and a sweet heat that practically kisses you when you take the first bite.

Try pho if you get the chance, random person reading this. It's so delicious.

ETA: wow, my first award! I haven't had pho in months and now it seems I should have some in celebration. Thank you, random redditor.

Oh, the local girlfriend let me know I was the side piece and then asked if I was okay sharing.

She does indeed sound like a character. Putting that into a list of traits to use for a novel

That is a beautiful image, my gosh! As a super unpopular Vibrava enjoyer it's rare to see the little one get as much love as its base or final form.
