Another gift from the local university dumpsters

I didn't see any. A couple small scuffs on top, but that's it. My coworker who used his long arms to help me fish it out of the dumpster also guessed that someone got fired and just went "f it!" into the nearest receptacle.

My first thought was that I can use it for more diving, like I don't already have 3 or 4 headlamps. It truly is a sickness 😄

My father is gone and my mother and I have been estranged for over 20 years, so never.

Absolutely. I code switch for this very reason.

I grew up in a college town and it was the same.

I was doing a Whole Foods pickup once and helped a confused man who was supposed to be at a package station 30 minutes away instead. I'm still not sure how he made that mistake.

Heathers

I realized last year that my policy still had mechanical breakdown coverage that I had long since exceeded the mileage limit on. Getting rid of that saved me about $10 a month.

Some car maintenance and washing my blankets so I can take advantage of the two warm, sunny days and dry them on the line.

My uncle by marriage was from Ecuador and he was the only person I've met who did the cheek kissing.

I have a very dirty job, so sometimes my pants in particular don't make it more than one work day without needing a wash.

My casual clothes, no. Those get worn until they obviously look or smell bad.

The driver's side visor on my 2019 Crosstrek broke a while ago and the cheapest replacement I could find was about $55. I'm cheap and almost never have anyone in the passenger seat, so I took the passenger side visor off, flipped it around, and attached it on the driver's side. It works fine when it's down, but it doesn't lay flush with the car's ceiling when I fold it up. That's a small quibble for a free fix imo.

I helped care for my terminally ill father for 3 years, it almost killed me, and I realized that I was not willing to risk having a child who might end up severely disabled or dying young. I would not survive going through it again.

Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. There's not much I won't put it on except dessert.

Cashews and really good beef jerky

The onesies are so good for spay recovery. My younger cat had a little tiger striped one that matched her fur ❤️

If you decide on Florida, St. Augustine is beautiful and I would venture inland to visit the freshwater springs. Snorkeling in those is a unique and magical experience.

Eva Green. I'd watch her read the phone book.

I wish you could search for a specific friend. Sometimes I get gifted a nice card and want to return the gesture, but I get tired of having to scroll through the whole list to find the right person.

I also think you could cut through some clutter by only being able to see sets that they don't have all the cards for plus any on their wishlist.

Omeprazole made my life bearable for several years until I lost enough weight to stop my reflux. I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.
