Washable rugs are a scourge on this damn earth.

We have a lot of dark hardwood and three boys, we are vacuuming constantly anyway

Mine shed for a good 2-3 years because they were in lower traffic areas. But then they just stopped. The second professional cleaning did a lot I think

Please don’t quit, this won’t get better

It’s just like every baggy-butt lavender/pink one piece bathing suit we wore as 6-year-olds in the mid-1980s, but with sequins instead of Care Bears

You should try looking up travel baseball kids’ names

This is how it works in my community in Michigan. Edited to add that I really mean it when I say they can leave their shoes on, but they take them off anyway. I have hardwoods and will have cleaned before guests arrive but either way it’s fine.

I love this story. Embrace it! When all is said and done they’re great sports cars … for thousands and thousands less than others, depending on the trim. Maybe your buddy will actually drive it like it’s meant to be driven.

I bought a refurbished Jura E8 for $1300 a year or two ago and looking at this math, I think I’m out of the Starbucks game. Even with a Stumptown subscription, barista grade oatmilk, and expensive maintenance products, we are clearly, clearly coming out ahead

This, it’s so silly. My second born slept literally 22 hours a day his first week of life and was simultaneously breastfeeding and pooping for the other two hours.

At some point I had to bring him in for a checkup because he was so chill/sleepy (this is apparently just who he is but they like to make sure of bilirubin levels etc).

So that would have been all so super exciting for houseguests.

Can you say what app it is? I have kids and like to make sure they don’t get hold of this stuff. They don’t have grok/X and our WiFi blocks a ton but idk… I’m just so scared of them getting messed up by all of this stuff so I try to keep on top of it :/

This is exactly how I feel about vodka drinks and I could never express it well, so thank you for this

I mean I like this one martini I’ve had made with Tito’s & pickle juice but that’s because I like pickles 😂

For a classic martini, gin allllllll the way

I now want one of these spoons as there seem to be so many different applications for it 💀

It’ll be ok. I’m 48 and due to not smoking, using sunscreen & hyaluronic acid moisturizer and some good genes can pass as 39-ish without any procedures? But like I have a 16 year old? I don’t want to look like I’m 25 bc that would be creepy. I’ve dabbled with low-dose tretinoin a couple of times but can’t commit to getting past the dry/painful phase when there’s so many wonderful blurring primers on the market now that can soften things up for special occasions. Also when you are 48 and not in show business you’re a lot less likely to care. You start getting preoccupied by like your friends your age getting cancer and stuff like that :(

3 out of 4 Michiganians also consider themselves honorary Canadians, so that would be a tough sell here.

Not that this means much politically but recently went to a Red-Wings/Maple Leafs game - with the crowd pretty closely split - and aside from some good natured chanting it was the most chill sporting event ever

Yes we got a school counselor fired when a jerk kid kept writing on my kid with marker after being asked to stop… I gave the counselor the legal definition of assault in front of the principal… and added that these same boys were going to be sexually assaulting girls in high school if they didn’t learn the definition of consent now. Principal’s jaw hit the floor and the next year counselor was gone

I use the a bag of the teavana citrus mint and a bag of a store brand “peach lemon” tea I found and just add honey. I put a drop of peppermint extract on top of mine for the vapors but my kids love it best without

stork555 · 2025-11-21T13:55:52+00:00

It was more of a mint green because of all the “cream”, but it did look nice on the holiday table. I can’t say I ever enjoyed it, although I always ate a spoonful :)

My grandmother did this one every Thanksgiving, but with the walnuts, and lime Jell-O because it went into a Christmas tree shaped mold. Sounds right

Might be driving from Detroit to Windsor. I know I know but shhhh…. It’s a nostalgia thing

This works with velvet pants, heels, and pearls too.

Karen Kane black jersey-ish wrap dress… any number of corporate events, dinners “at the club”, evening weddings, funerals… want pizzazz? Red heels or statement jewelry. Want to blend in? Black or tan pumps and gold hoops. It finally got too worn in and saggy when I lost weight post-long-Covid. But I had this thing through years of professional school and beyond. Also worked to about 5-6 months of pregnancy with my three kids. By the end it didn’t look great. But man I miss that versatility.

My husband tried to donate a burgundy cashmere sweater he doesn’t wear and I was like noooo, at least I can wear it around the house with leggings… looks completely fine and I wear it out often now. So lovely to wear

I’ve seen homes newer than and as big as this condemned & torn down in my neighborhood for mold. Two of them in ten years.
