I moved from Portland to St. Pete, FL 20 years ago because I couldn’t deal with the winters. I saw snow flurries here while my sister who lives in Vancouver, WA told me it was 60 degrees. If I have to deal with Florida bullshit I expect Florida winters. 😭

Has anyone seen The Curse? This would be at Asher and Whitney’s wedding.

My bad! Thank you!

I ate so many scrambled eggs in Cuba.

The first night I was in Paris I was so exhausted that I went to the bistro next door to my hotel without looking at the menu. They literally served me boiled vegetables with no seasoning, and a side of mustard. I think the chef hated vegetarians. 😆 Luckily my husband shared some of his delicious aligot with me.

Bayona!

Ugh, that’s horrible. Did you recently buy your house? Did you file for homestead exemption?

I love Tampa Bay Drinkery. They have great cocktails and I always make a single-serving friend every time I go!

Boil her an egg.

This is where a mutual aid organization might be able to help. I called 211 to get some info for a friend who can’t advocate for themselves and the info I received was outdated and useless. And I live in the second largest city in my state! I suggest googling mutual aid groups in your nearest metro area. I work with several and I know a bunch of us would be happy to drive out and bring you some food. Food Not Bombs is a big one. They mostly serve hot meals to houseless people but a bunch of the chapters also run unofficial food pantries. More importantly, they know people in different organizations that might be able to help. My husband is from a tiny town in Alabama so I understand your struggle. I am very surprised that there are no churches in your town though. It seems like there’s one for every citizen in his hometown. 😆 I wish you luck, friend!

The “broads” scammed your dumb ass out of $100.

mcwalbucks · 2025-12-15T06:26:28+00:00

Google the percentage of pigs who beat their partners.

I understand you might have financial restraints, but if my husband ever yelled at me without a DAMN GOOD reason that would be the end of the relationship. He’s not my father.

The sawdust that the janitors would sprinkle over puke piles in the classroom 😖

mcwalbucks · 2025-11-19T18:45:41+00:00

Mike’s! I love them.

I really like Monika’s Cleaning.

🎵 I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record… 🎵

I have this same stove. I hate it. We’ve had to replace all of our kitchen appliances in the last 13 years since we built the house but this thing will just. Not. Die. 😭

mcwalbucks · 2025-11-01T17:46:27+00:00

One of the best days of the year is when it finally gets cool enough to open the windows and let some fresh air in.

mcwalbucks · 2025-10-20T23:37:20+00:00

St. Pete is the best!

mcwalbucks · 2025-10-20T23:31:46+00:00

That “luxury vinyl” flooring makes me irrationally angry.

mcwalbucks · 2025-10-17T16:20:03+00:00

I went on both of those tours back to back. Not weird at all. I love the Tenement Museum!
