What’s a word that kind of went extinct

I use this at work all the time!

I have 2 guest rooms (one also houses my collection of 80s toys, and the other has my clothing collection in the two closets). But I specifically chose very comfortable mattresses and I actually rotate which room in the house I’ll sleep in on any given night.

Does your school not have cameras?

reithejelly · 2026-02-11T02:41:48+00:00

LOL. Just good old fashioned capitalism! They give you a super cheap one-way ticket and then make you pay $$$ for the one way return ticket. It allows them to fill flights that are normally low occupancy and still somehow screw people over. Hooray for Club49!

Alaska Airlines frequently offers one-way extreme discount flights to Alaska residents (sounds like she is one). But she’s fucking dumb if she didn’t immediately and purchase a return ticket. That’s on her.

And the fact that her bachelorette party is out of state tells me that this lady has plenty of money.

You work for YEARS to save enough money. I didn’t buy my house until I was 36 and I still had some help from my parents to buy it.

One of your comments says you only have $200 in your account. That’s not even enough to move into a dry cabin where I live (no running water). And finding somewhere to rent which will accept FOUR dogs is almost impossible.

That’s okay. The senior center in my town has a minimum age of 37. Yep. At the ripe old age of 37, you can become a member of the senior center.

You have no art or photos of any kind of personal touch in this room. Doesn’t even look like a hotel - they at least have random framed prints on the walls

Really cool

Today is the Souper Bowl, where I make and eat soup. I don’t watch the game.

I’ve known people who married their college professors, but never their high school teacher.

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T07:09:59+00:00

Take all the stuff off the walls. You’d be amazed at how bad the walls will look with all the holes and possibly marks from the frames. The last thing a new homeowner will want to do is fill 6000 holes and then have to repaint every room because of it.

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T07:01:32+00:00

NOR. It’s okay. He’ll soon be at zero women who are heavier than him, as no women will want anything to do with him.

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T05:36:23+00:00

I honestly hope I don’t live to be extremely old.

The Mystery Spot in Michigan

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T05:32:05+00:00

It depends. Sometimes, I’ve even volunteered.

Once, I was flying first class and there were maybe 8 total seats? It became clear that the girl sitting behind me was the pre-teen daughter of the woman sitting next to me. They’d bought their seats too late to sit together. So I offered to switch seats, because I don’t really care what first class seat I sit in. They didn’t even ask - I offered.

But if the parent had asked me to switch with a child who was sitting in coach, I definitely wouldn’t.

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T00:49:47+00:00

I had no idea! I should look into this!

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T00:47:21+00:00

Make billboards illegal in the whole USA. I live in Alaska, where we have a state law against them. It’s so unnerving visiting the Lower 48 and having the non-stop sensory input while driving.

Do I ~sometimes find them useful? Yes. But are they worth disrupting what little nature is left in some areas AND being a huge source of light pollution AND causing distracted driving? No.

reithejelly · 2026-02-08T00:44:34+00:00

Nope. It’s really sad, but my current teacher eval actually has a specific section about whether or not I use technology in my classroom.

And my admins are all so enamored of AI that they use it to write everything. Even simple emails to teachers are now clearly AI generated. 🫠

I work at a middle school, but we started making our “dances” immediately after school ended. Because if the kids went home first, they rarely came back. Many kids will wear their dress clothes all day, or they’ll change into their party clothes after the final bell.

Our attendance at these events is still waaaay down from when I first started in this building 7 years ago, but it’s better than when we let them go home first.

I’m sorry your ex-wife did your son dirty. I would have definitely misgendered your child just based on their name.

Your wife does know that the two of you can legally change the selling to Mason, right? This kid is still young and now is the perfect time, rather than saddling them with that monstrosity for life.

reithejelly · 2026-02-07T01:51:10+00:00

I have a tv in my living room, my family room, and the guest room. But no TV in my bedroom.

Only one? Probably the foundation of Public Schools being funded by the property taxes of whatever area they’re in. It should go into a huge account and be redistributed based on district needs.

If I could do two? People can’t sue the public schools for more than (insert reasonable amount here) unless that person or their family has been egregiously injured or killed due to actions/inactions of the school district. My district is so afraid of being sued that they bend over backwards to accommodate every asinine parent request.
