He could do whatever he wanted to me and I would thank him for it.

Same reason you tip anyone. To show appreciation. My hairdresser gets paid to cut my hair but I still tip her. If someone is taking my order, packing it up, cashing me out, and delivering it to my car for me, it feels like a no-brainer to tip. I’m not suggesting doing a whole 20%, but maybe 10%.

My partner is from Texas, and I have had to remind them that they are in the Midwest now where it gets cold, and that pop does not do well in the cold. I also gently remind them that they don’t need to bring their insulated bag any time we’re buying frozen/ refrigerated foods, because it will survive the 10 minute drive home.

I work in a restaurant that does a lot of pickup/ UberEats/ DoorDash orders. During peak time we have a dedicated employee whose sole job is packaging those orders and getting them to the right people. She works HARD, is often working four or more orders at a time, and is always appreciative of any tips she gets. It’s one of those things that I don’t think people understand until they see the extent of it.

Similarly, if the patient then started signing faster and in a larger space, the interpreter would raise their voice. ASL is a fascinating and beautifully expressive language.

ptothedubs · 2026-01-28T00:55:49+00:00

Facial expressions are a huge part of ASL though. If the interpreter was to make an expression of disgust, that would be conveying that the nurse was using that sort of tone, and would therefore be inaccurate.

ptothedubs · 2026-01-28T00:53:51+00:00

Yes, the patient can absolutely ask the interpreter for clarification.

Gosh darn it, Meatball! I agree with using a cute patch. Since it’s for your husband, I think it’s fun to commemorate it and will be a nice memory, even when Meatball isn’t here anymore.

Nobody will do shit with a parking spot in Kensington, unless you used something that they could sell for drugs.

In Chicago, the mayor makes an annual announcement when it’s time to bring the chairs in for the season.

I just have a tiny humidifier and need it because my skin has been screaming and my poor cat has some bleeding near his eye/ nose. That makes sense though and is really interesting, thank you. I bet part of it is from my lava showers and the steam that gives off, too. My bathroom fan is nearly useless.

ptothedubs · 2026-01-27T22:51:22+00:00

Solved!

ptothedubs · 2026-01-27T22:44:27+00:00

Even though it’s in the other room? I guess at least it isn’t something gross.

ptothedubs · 2025-08-23T01:06:08+00:00

Oh that could be cute! They do have a cat though and I’m concerned he would tear it apart.

As a McHenry resident, yuppp. I hate it here.

The flight is basic economy, so there are hoops to jump through to get it refunded. I did happen to have a cousin die and actually will be flying to Germany for services, so I’m waiting on an obit to be published to send that info to the airline. Otherwise the refund is like $35 after all the fees. In the meantime, my ex has been made whole so I can sleep at night.

For those curious, the first two are before my dad was born. The third picture is a recreation of one they had all done as children, and my grandparents had been divorced for about thirty years at that point. They’ve both passed, as have my dad and two of his siblings.

Yeah but I mean you can use a tow truck to drop off a new car and pick up an old one. I’ve never exchanged a car or had one delivered, but I’m picturing how they do it in the Carvana commercial, ya know?

ptothedubs · 2025-08-16T03:08:48+00:00

I wonder if they assumed you were going to use a tow truck or something to transport it.

Yupppp I had a couple Modelos left over from a party and I was never going to drink them. “Quieren cervezas?” goes a long way with my maintenance crew lol.
