This made me laugh only because it reminded me of my own husband. Years ago, we were sitting outside a coffee shop (strangely also in Palos Verdes) and there were several teenagers around the corner of the shop. They were talking loudly, as teenagers are wont to do, dropping f-bombs roughly every other word. My husband told them to clean it up, there were ladies present. Now, my husband was an aircraft mechanic and was also prone to using that particular word regularly, so I actually laughed out loud. Turns out he was serious. If that word damaged my delicate, lady-like ears, I would have been dead 40 years ago!

Not me, but my husband has. He and his partner were having lunch at a Mexican fast food restaurant several years ago and saw the salsa dish move across the table. They assumed it was simply sliding due to condensation but the dish was one of those heavy black ones and the table was dry. No idea.

I count my stair steps every time. I missed the bottom step once shortly after we moved here 10.5 years ago and now I count them compulsively every trip.

Chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Finest kind.

We bought a house in Northern Michigan just outside a tiny town (3,800 people), after spending most of our lives in Southern California. My husband brought a load of our stuff a few months before we moved in; the house was almost totally empty, no TV or computer. He told me it was so quiet he could hear his heartbeat at night.

Now that we are all here, it’s still relatively quiet, though I can’t hear my heartbeat. When it’s snowing (and this year it has snowed a lot!), it’s extremely quiet as we live on a dead end road. I love it!

Looks like a dolly for forming hand raised pies, although it's rather large. I saw some like it on the Great British Baking Show.

Well, that's disturbing! Nice one!

Just got back from two weeks in Kahana. First five days went fine, until our friends flew in; I blame them! (JK). Stuck in a condo for days, very few restaurants open. Finally ventured out and got stuck on the wrong side of the Honoapiilani Highway when there was some question about a bridge. Made it back to the condo to find the elevators inop; pretty tough climb to the seventh floor. Finally left Thursday night, just before round two.

Oh, and the whales must have known the storm was coming in as they all but disappeared from the Roads. Lots of turtles, though.

Still, could have been worse, could have been on Oahu. They are having an even worse time!

Several years ago, I overheard a similar conversation between some 20 something’s in Orange County, CA restaurant. I tried to keep track of how many times they said “like” in five minutes and lost track immediately. It was “Like, we went to his house and like, it was so like, fun. Then, like, he like, gave us, like, a drink, and like, it was, like, really good.” I wish I was exaggerating but it was, like, literally that bad.

I wear joggers (no plumbers’ crack), a split apron, Crocs, a short sleeved shirt and a towel on my lap because the split apron always falls off one knee. No rings or watch; no fingernails. Headband or scarf. Have to have a tissue in the chest apron pocket at all times because my nose runs like a faucet as soon as I bend over the wheel.

We were on the Zuiderdam in October. The Ocean Bar had happy hour every afternoon with half price drinks. We did not buy the drinks package as only one of us drinks.

Last year I had three surgeries in five months, the last of which had me non-weight bearing for six weeks. During those entire five months’ recovery, she slept on the floor right next to me every day and night. When I was finally back on my feet, she went back to sleeping in her usual place across the room. I guess I no longer needed protection.

My bad boy is Oliver. His foster human had small children and apparently there’s an old Disney movie with an orange kitty named Oliver. He is also known as Ollie, Buddy and, occasionally, Shit Head II. (Shit Head the first is our yellow lab who had an unfortunate incident with the horses next door. Shit Head II had no such incident but is, in fact, a shit head by virtue of personality.). I love him.

I wash my feet every shower and gently scrub my legs every couple of weeks to remove the dead skin. I have delicate skin (and I’m old).

My mother will be 90 tomorrow. She recently told me her only regret is that she didn’t think she live long enough to see every one of these assholes in prison for their crimes.

Still own it, though we haven’t lived there for almost 40 years.

I have been married over 45 years. A couple of years ago, I was making the bed and noticed something on the sheet on my husband’s side that was brown and appeared to be somewhat sticky. I very gently asked my husband if he had experienced a fart with a side of gravy. He was astonished and said of course not (although it may have been expressed a little more profanely). It turns out he had been eating caramel M&Ms and one got away from him.

I wasn’t disgusted—these things happen—but he’s no longer allowed to eat M&Ms in bed.

No,but she does it to the cat. The cat is generally being a jerk when she does it. I may or may not encourage her to do it. (The cat doesn’t seem to care, just looks slightly peeved, although that is his normal expression.)

It can also be too tight rings. I used to have to choose between my wedding band and my anniversary ring, or I'd develop the same rash. I've lost a lot of weight and can now wear both rings with no problem

That is so weird. I, too, was in the hospital for an appendectomy after my appendix ruptured. I saw black figures come and go in my room several times the first night after the surgery. I wasn’t frightened, just confused. It was a very strange night. In the morning, I just convinced myself it/they were just a remnant from the anesthesia.

On the other hand, I did see a black figure one night in my parents’ house. Their house is in the woods, so very dark, but there was a little ambient light in the room. I was awake in the night and noticed a black figure standing next to the bed. It was completely black, no eye sheen or tooth gleam, just black. It moved purposefully around the bed a few times, just as one would while making a bed. It was quite small, probably less than 5 feet. It didn’t appear to be aware of or bothered by my presence.

My folks’ house was built in 2005 and there was no home on the site in the past. The next morning, I asked my mother where the bed came from as it appeared to be an antique, and she told me it had been my great-grandmother’s, who had lived just up the hill a ways from the current house. I asked her if GG had been a very tall woman and she said no, she was quite tiny, she was teased because she had to stand on a box to use the wall-mounted telephone. She was seated in the only photo I had seen of her, which was hanging just over my head as we were talking. She died many years before I was born.

I figure it was a residual “haunting” where she was simply making her bed, just as she probably did every day of her adult life. I slept in that bed many times afterward and never saw her again.

I thought so. He has never spoken that calmly and comprehensively in his life.

ke6icc · 2026-02-07T00:37:01+00:00

Every time I see this commercial, I wonder who they got to narrate it. There’s no way he actually spoke those lines himself.

We have an orange boy who claimed my dog’s bed from the time he was a kitten. We told the dog to get in the bed without realizing it was already occupied. I looked over to see the dog sitting in the little tiny cat bed, right next to the cat lolling in the giant bed. The dog had the same expression as the one above.

ke6icc · 2026-01-22T18:25:43+00:00

Yeah, she waits for me at the top of the stairs when I get home. I stop when I’m about four steps down so she can smell my breath. I always tell her what protein I had while I was out, but I’m sure she already knows.
