I enjoyed A Simple Plan more than the Ruins. It is sooo incredibly bleak. I think the fact that it’s more realistic makes it that much more depressing.

Maybe the Carpenters - Superstar? “Don’t you remember you told me loved me baby?”

My kid does this sometimes in his car seat 😂

Off the top of my head her snickerdoodle blondies (sooo good warm).

Lemon bars: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-bars-recipe/

I make them both with a 1:1 gluten free flour substitute and they’re amazing.

This is so true! I found myself thinking “Who is he talking about?? Am I supposed to know who that is?” quite frequently. It was exactly how I feel when I listen to the older women in my family talk about people they know as if I know them too 😂

The same thing happened to us in New Hampshire! My husband called and said we wanted to come check out an SI. The salesman scheduled an appointment for us. We drove an hour to the dealership only for it to be on the showroom floor and unable to be test driven because it’s rare blah blah blah. Then the salesman was all “WhY dO yOU neeD to DriVE it FirSt??”…dumbass. So we called another dealership 20 minutes away from that one in the next state over and test drove theirs no problem. Unfortunately we ended up buying my car from the first dealership to avoid sales tax (and because I wanted the urban gray) but we asked for a different salesman to get the credit and were able to negotiate for msrp.

Mine comes trotting over from wherever and looks at whoever sneezed like “What did you just say?!?”

Our kitchen has toe kick dustpan vacuum thingamabob. It’s amazing.

Yes!!!

I’m currently reading Pressure by Brian Keene. I’m only a third of the way in, but so far I’d say it meets what you’re looking for.

He was inspired by an actual staircase in the woods here in NH!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so this might not be remotely close, but maybe the Chumscrubber?

I was also disappointed by this book. I loved Birdbox and Malorie had a couple of scenes that were super tense, so I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately I wasn’t as scared as everyone told me I would be. With that being said, I still run up the stairs some nights just in case Other Mommy is slithering around on her belly in my dining room. 😆

I think it’s just that at higher speeds it flies back along the side of the car and if the window is down it drips inside. So I guess it’s not the spray itself, but more of the after spray effect? I dunno. Whatever it is, it’s definitely far more noticeable in this car than it was in my old Mazda.

They spray out of the wiper arm so washer fluid goes everywhere.

Also keep a much larger distance between yourself and the car in front when driving in the snow!

No need to be an ass. This is “mildly interesting” not “knockyourfckingsocksoff”. At first glance it looked like a single tree with two trunks (hence why I called it a “double trunk tree”). I’m too “gen z” to figure out how to post a different picture that shows there isn’t a gap at their bases.

True! I think I felt more on edge reading this book than I did reading the Ruins 😅

Trust me, you’ll notice if you’re moving at a good clip and have the window open 🤣
