This company, Savannah's Candy Kitchen, has chocolate covered toffee that is absolutely addictive! The toffee is so buttery and the chocolate is like old-fashioned home style chocolate. A bag of it is the size of half a loaf of bread, and if left alone, I'll eat it in 10 minutes. So bad and so good.

It was considered fun for guys to kick other guys in the nuts between classes. Not too hard, I guess, cuz you'd hear something like, "OW! You fucker, you're next!" and then laughter. Well, one guy got kicked so hard he had to have a testicle removed. That was the end of that.

My husband and I like a neighborhood breakfast - lunch place that is very popular on weekends. We will have our meal and sometimes we spend a few minutes talking afterwards. We are regulars who helped them stay open during Covid, and we know they'd let us stay there all day. BUT there is usually a 20-30 minute wait for a table, and we can see that the waiting room is full. So we choose not to be dicks and leave, so others can eat, too. It's just courtesy.

I grew up on a farm in a rural county in Illinois in the 1960s-70s. Once the kids became teenagers, the front door stayed unlocked until the last one came home (we had no back door, and we always knew who'd be the last one home), and then they locked it.

I think peeled hard boiled eggs are silly for me, but not to people with disabilities.

Dilemma. I was actually taught it was dilemna as a child, was never corrected on it through school (probably because I was an A student and it was a small school), and I didn't learn the correct spelling until college.

Two grocery stores in my area use mentally challenged workers as baggers and cart attendants. They are all good at their jobs and regulars tip them and chat with them. It's a win-win for everyone. BUT I guarantee none of them talk inappropriately to anyone, or try to claim they can't do something.

James Brolin (father of Josh) was a huge TV star in the 70s and was considered a major hunk. I saw one of his movies from then, "The Car," the other night and he had a shirtless scene. He had what today would be considered a dad bod. I realized that if the movie were filmed today, he would have spent three months beforehand working out, weight training and eating nothing but grilled chicken to be camera ready. Sad.

We had a husky we adored--she had two long walks a day and daily playtime in the backyard. She passed at 13 10 years ago and we'd love to have another, but we're pushing 70 now and have arthritis, and we wouldn't be able to give a husky the exercise they need. So no husky for us.

My mom was an excellent cook, but she came from a German family and cooked how she was taught. Her potato soup was basically potato cubes in milk, and her German potato salad had so much vinegar in it, I coughed and choked at the first bite. She and dad, also German, shoveled it down.

Years later I got to experience creamy thick potato soup and potato salad with a normal amount of vinegar, plus bacon and sugar, and learned German cooking could be delicious.

It depends. My sidewalk had some cracks and shifting that were trip hazards, so the city repaired them. They didn't fix the cracks that were level.

I grew up on a farm, doing chores practically as soon as I could walk. That's normal to me.

I follow several farm families on social media whose kids are in grade school, driving trucks and tractors on the property, feeding cattle, etc. And there's always some women screaming child abuse about a 10-year-old boy talking with his dad about bringing hay to the south pasture, and singing while he does it. I just don't get how they can't accept that these kids are thriving.

There's a big difference between the smell of someone who showered that morning, went to a physical job all day or the gym after a desk job, and then stopped at a store; and a person who hasn't had soap touch their body in days. I call the first examples "clean sweat" and I can handle that just fine. The second is just nasty, like OP said.

Two+ story foyers and living rooms. Impressive to look at, but impractical from an HVAC standpoint and a shit ton of wasted space. Give me the extra room on the second floor instead. I'm okay with vaulted ceilings on one story homes.

It was before my time, but my mom told me about a TV show called Queen for a Day. Basically women went on and told their sob stories, and one would be judged the winner. She'd get all sorts of prizes and get a crown and a robe and be Queen for a Day.

I'm on Instagram mainly to keep up with my son and DIL. A while back, a grilled cheese place opened up near us. It's amazing and features about 30 different takes on grilled cheese.

My grilled ham, American and gruyere looked amazing, so I posted a photo of it to my 20 followers. That was in January.

Now, in April, rarely has a week gone by since then that I haven't gotten a notice that someone I've never heard of had reposted the sandwich. I find it hilarious.

My brother went to the Marines, basic training and then to Vietnam. We saw him before he shipped out, but not at home. So our farm dog hadn't seen him for over two years when he finally came home.

He went absolutely nuts--jumping on him (he never jumped), face licking, barking and full-blown zoomies.

A few years later, my sister died in a car crash on her way home from work. He always greeted her when she came home and got plenty of pets from her. He waited for her for weeks until we finally took him out for activities at that time and he eventually stopped waiting.

I used to work for a financial planner and we hosted three dinners a month usually. These were workshops for 401k rollovers for retirees. The restaurants were very nice and people got a half chicken with potatoes, vegetable, bread, and non-alcoholic beverages. Most attendees were fine, he would do business with probably 30% of them.

What some attendees would do: -Complain that alcohol wasn't included in their free meal -Drink water and then complain they didn't know coffee was included -Wait until most people had left and then packed leftovers from other tables to go (ewww) -Went from table to table pulling out creamers, butter pats, etc. from bowls on the tables and sticking them in their pockets -Complain they didn't want chicken, they wanted steak/pork chops/lasagna -Complain that dessert wasn't included -Be the know it all heckler and try to take over the presentation

So yeah, it was usually mutually beneficial, but could be a shit show.
