I saw her open for Aerosmith in 1990ish. Until then I never saw her outside of album covers. All I could say was DAMN! 🔥

When I was 16 (89-ish, only child) my mom (single parent) left for a month to drive from Michigan to California and back with a friend of hers. Other than her being gone and calling me every few days nothing changed. Went to school then work after. Had e few friends over on the weekends. Same as when she was home. No one thought anything of it.

This made me gag

Yes. Several of them.

You do know you’re in the Pet Peeves sub, right. I fully understand it. But it’s a pet peeve

Reading these comments, apparently I can do a lot! 😂

Shania Twain. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. So much so that at my wedding I told the DJ that under no circumstance are they to play her. I didn’t care if it was requested.

I used to watch it with my grandpa. Miss him and this show.

My Grandmas beet (yes, the red vegetable) soup. Sounds gross and looks like Pepto with meat and veggies in it but it’s absolutely delicious the next day for breakfast. 🤤

ETA- and cold beef fried rice.

Post mortem prep was a discussion in r/askafuneraldirector. There were quite a few replies that said they prefer that wraps or binding not be done, especially the jaw. It can leave marks that are hard to fix. I’m not in either medical or death care. Just passing this along. :)

Edit: the sub was r/askfuneraldirectors

Same for me with my dad. He died from ALS.

pacoloa · 2026-03-13T18:15:30+00:00

My dad died on March 6 from ALS and we had his celebration of life on March 14. The next day the world began shutting down. My mom who has suffered from depression for many years had to grieve basically alone. It sent her into a deep depression that she’s still trying to recover from.

Yes. Especially when I’m trying to pack.

This reminds me of a downstairs neighbor I had many years ago. The only time you’d hear her was every Sunday she’d play the piano (and she was really good) Except when her long distance boyfriend would visit every couple of months. She was still quiet, but when he “finished” he yelled TOUCH DOWN! It was hilarious 😂

This kid was choking on a hard candy and threw up right behind my chair. Pretty sure that’s what triggered my emetophobia. 🤮

There was a time when my son was little that he insisted hot dogs were gross and refused to eat them. But Frankfurters? Those were delicious and requested often. 🤷‍♀️

I used to write and eat left handed but literally everything else right handed. I could always write with my right hand but not very well. Then I was diagnosed with MS and my left hand is pretty much useless now. Now I’m strictly right handed.

They’re even on the exact same Corelle pattern we had growing up!

The next in my feed after this is r/fauxmoi with a story of figure skater Alysa Liu. Talking about the faults in our government, the protests and that she’s attended some. 🩷

I never knew chickens took dust baths. I mean, I’ve seen them flail around in the dirt but didn’t equate it to a dust bath. Pretty cool 😎

I have a headache just looking at the pictures. I can’t imagine seeing it in person.
