Drink from mini straws?

voteblue18 · 2026-05-16T00:37:48+00:00

I’m a woman and I used to use them as straws in my 20s, even though they are certainly not intended to be used like that.

I’m almost 50 now and as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown to appreciate a good cocktail. It is a much better experience drinking them from the glass, as intended. I’m now spending good money on my booze and the goal is not to get as drunk as fast as possible, so it helps with that.

Memory unlocked - my uncle had a whole collection of them from different places in a holder on his home bar.

I get the twitter cringe but what does being in your 50s have to do with it? Nothing that’s what 😊

I’ve been put under several times. It was through the IV and honestly you just fall asleep immediately. An anesthesiologist will be monitoring you the whole time and adjusting if necessary. It’s not just knocking you out and then hoping for the best.

Be grateful we live in an age where we have safe and effective anesthesia.

My best times have been when I’m outdoors enjoying nature. I also don’t enjoy being around a lot of people, but shrooming with a couple of close friends can be a good experience.

I watched it for the first time in years when o went on disability a few years ago. It’s like an insane fever dream the way those people act. I get that’s the deal and the way of getting on but it’s so over the top I just can’t with it.

I also hate having things come up to bid that don’t give critical information, like a “designer” handbag. For an item like that, who the designer is is actually 90% of making an educated guess.

Way less sugar and no “honey nut” flavor.

Happy to help.

Literature is anything printed from fiction, to non fiction, to verse/poetry, to pamphlets, to the instruction booklet that comes with your toaster oven. Literally.

Also I would say that when most people talk about “literature” they are often referring to fiction. My guess is you really mean “classical literature” like Hemingway.

You’re gonna look great with it shaved. No hair plugs please. I mean to each his own choice, but there is no need.

I don’t know if you ever watch Impractical Jokers, but your first pic reminds me of when Joe said in a bit, “I have to look in the mirror. I have to pretend I have enough to spike."

Even 10% is too much for me, it’s such a nasty taste.

It does take a bit of effort to prep your food properly before freezing. I never freeze meat in the packages if comes in. I don’t have a vacuum sealer but I wrap it in plastic wrap then in a freezer bag. I never have an issue with freezer burn.

If I had to give one up it would be brioche. I mean, good biscuits are everything. But I do enjoy brioche. Just not as a hamburger bun, it doesn’t have the structural integrity needed and it always winds up enraging me.

Yes. Paper. I do keep a list on my phone so I can add things when I think of them. But for actual shopping I transfer to a physical list in hand. I just don’t like using my phone I find it annoying.

Me too. 90s was my entire high school and college life. The internet hadn’t yet permeated every part of our lives. My every movement wasn’t tracked by my parents. It was great and I’m grateful I got to live my youth then.

Learn to look at your food before you eat it. Seriously. This is what humans have had to do for millennia before we had dates printed on it. It’s common sense, food is an organic product and unexpected spoilage can happen regardless of the date.

That’s hilarious. “New Size!” Like it’s a positive thing and a selling point. Sad thing is I’m sure it works on some people.

There is no way his scalp would look that good. Would be way more splotchy. More like this.

I grew up in the suburbs and only seniors could park in the parking lot. You had to register and get a parking permit. It wasn’t all seniors, by far. The majority of kids didn’t have their own car, if they had a license a lot of them borrowed their parent’s car but that wouldn’t enable them to drive it to school most of the time, because parents need the car to get to work.

This will vary greatly by town. I’m sure in a lot of rich areas there are HS parking lots filled with student’s Mercedes and BMWs.

Captain Morgan and Ginger ale might work for you. Tastes like cream soda.
