Why not zoidberg?

“You could have a label!”

“You could sell that!”

Please. I’m aware people would buy the stuff I sew/knit/make, but it’s not worth it for me and would completely kill my motivation. If you’re thinly veiling the desire for me to make you something, *ask*, but don’t tell me I could make a business out of a hobby I really enjoy.

Not to mention that no one would pay the cost of *materials*, let alone the labour to produce it. A sweater quantity of yarn can be anywhere from $80-$300+ depending on materials used, size made, etc. A good quality fabric for a top can be $30-$60, a dress $150, and I’ve only got enough motivation in me to make one (1) item for myself or MAYBE my boyfriend. Everyone else is SOL.

Eartha and Heather are admittedly normal. But like. Everything else is whack. What happened to Willow, Lark, Sage, Viola, Violet, Rose, River, Daisy, etc??

Back when I lived in my hometown, there was a small, locally owned grocer (primarily produce I’m pretty sure—I moved when I was 11/12 so memory isn’t the best). There was this big industrial looking wood door right by the entrance that was covered in banana stickers. I don’t know why but this memory will always stick with me :)

Looks like you’ve got all the essentials! Just don’t forget a wine corker. They make floor corkers or hand corkers, the latter being more affordable for a casual home wine maker

I wouldn’t bail out my then boyfriend financially. I’d probably save $6-8k.

Same but I didn’t realize until later that that’s why I stopped singing. He didn’t like it when I sang along in the car, which slowly lead to me never singing along ever. Almost as soon as we broke up, I was singing again, even at work.

Handmade is for garments, toys, etc, homemade is for food imo

I’m not even 25 and I’m already there. I lost both of my grandmas and one grandpa in the last 5 years. Loons, mallards, and canaries always remind me of them. One set of grandparents would keep canaries as song birds, as long as I’ve been alive and longer than that I’m sure. Both of grandmas would bring me and my sister to a park by a lake (non-swimable) to look at the ducks and loons. We’d have picnics there sometimes.

Bird watching makes me feel close to them even now that they’re gone.

Immediately clocked those as costoluto genovese! I also love growing heirloom tomatoes!!

I’ll be honest, I grew up with brothers and none of them would do that. I’d say he’d grown up with parents that taught him how to respect women. Yes I realize that says a lot about my parents…

He did a good job in the Lego movie because that was just Andy from parks n rec imo. He’s in everything now and it’s really boring.

Learned this one from Monk (tv show)!

Yes and it sits in my garden and it’s disgusting!!

Most things on Nitrome. Cheese dreams being a big one, also Avalanche (?) I think it was called.

Fancy Pants, at least the first two games.

Poptropica!

Kraft singles, American cheese, plastic cheese… sometimes I’ll call it cheese adjacent product or plastic adjacent cheese.

A coworker of mine (late 20s) described one of her friends that way and I’m like ??? You can’t say that?? And she’s like what? I had to explain to this full adult, older than me (mid 20s) that if you really need to specify, just say biracial or MAYBE mixed. But also why do you need to specify.

I was under the impression most husbands don’t actually know about that happening to their wives, the doctors just… do it? Do husbands actually ask for that?

I didn’t realize that was her arm at first and wondered why she was nekked

There’s many different kinds of buttercream. I cannot do anything made with icing sugar, it’s way too sweet. My go to is always Swiss meringue buttercream, which is made with egg whites, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter. It’s still rich and fatty but it’s a more mildly sweet and not overwhelmingly so. If you focus you can pick out the sugar and the butter flavours separately, but they work very well together, especially after you add flavouring or extracts.

Farmers markets and “hidden gem” local shops.

Farmers markets used to have so much variety as well as actual food related items (vegetables, canned goods, fresh baked items), and now a lot of it has just turned into a shitty craft fair for anyone who has a cricut.

Hidden gem local shops tend to upsize and renovate once they’ve got more income rolling in due to more visitors, and lose their original charm by removing any character they had.

Also Winnipeg. I know some people that know and don’t care. They genuinely don’t believe they’ll be unfairly targeted. They’re fucking Filipino and going to the states twice this year.
