90% of the items in my mailbox are for my (grown ass, living in their own apartments) children. I understand packages. We've never had a theft issue here and I'm almost always home. But ffs - all the letter/bill/ misc stuff that would fit just fine in their locked mailboxes? C'mon, man!

Weighed myself on 12/21 - one year from the doc appt that put me at 245, which was about where I was in 2018 before I signed up for my VSG. Between 12/21/24 and 3/22/25 I lost 12 pounds from metformin only and no dietary changes. Then I added IF and low carb to my life. As of last Sunday I am down

51 years old and wrapping gifts is still a nightmare. If there is a hell, my personal loop will be working the wrapping station on Christmas Eve in a department store, and none of the gifts will be in nice, uniform boxes. 😵‍💫

Wut? I make brownies from scratch several times a year. I have never seen this. Is it because I put chocolate chips on the right side? The batter was level. (And it was perfectly half & half before it went in the oven.) I can't bring this to Christmas dinner! What a waste of premium ingredients. 😭

Does it mean you're broken if you're only slightly over baseline sad, but not SAD, when a relative you were close to as a child (but not in decades) dies? Or is that normal? Asking for a friend. RIP, Aunt Susie. I'm sorry chemo failed you, but am thankful you didn't suffer for long. Fuck Cancer.

Does anyone have preferred brands/materials for keeping feet warm if you have sensory issues related to dry skin? I hate socks with a passion, and despite using a pumice stone and foot lotion for every shower, even when the skin feels smooth to my hand, I have <<<issues>>>. And it's c-c-c-cold.

If you see this, quote with a game released the year you were born. Also - Not a video/arcade game, but the original Dungeons & Dragons. 1974 was lit, y'all. 😉

Blue skies, sunny, and -2°F. 🥶 I need to win the lottery so I can move myself and my entire family to a temperate location. No hot as ballz summers, no cold as a witch's tit in a brass bra winters. I'm done with these stupid extremes!

Mixed up the batter last night to make today before I remembered I didn't have rings, so please allow me to present: Sourdough Crumpcakes. 🤣

This is a strange thing for the camera to do. The display is steady on the cooker, so why can't the camera just take a photo with all the digital elements showing?

Why? Why do I have to litter my phone with apps I WON'T USE to view something one time? I'm just trying to look up an answer to one thing and I do not use reddit beyond occasionally clicking a link when searching for answers. The SE is wildly unhelpful for today's query, which is why I tried this.

The babies have been picked up. The gal said she'd keep us updated so at least we'll know how they get on. All was well when I got home; psycho pup was too busy licking the front door and spiraling about being abandoned to think about the kittens in the box on a kiddie table and blocked by stuff.

These two babies were crying under our house all night. My husband feeds a small group of ferals, and they are extremely skittish. If they even think you're headed their direction, they take off. But it's freezing temps and I guess under our house was safer. Mama is usually very around and has no

So good!

A year already? Time flies. Glorious and Gleeful Gazoonkas, my friends!

This post and the responses were a delightful read this morning. Thank you!

The entire Siberian orchestra is now trans

This is funny to me because I only discovered the movie 2-3 months after it came out and I listened to a lot of my other stuff before it took over. It didn't list any Evanescence, David Arkenstone, Imagine Dragons, Lindsey Sterling, etc.

If you are unable to view YouTube and YouTube Music recaps like me, this is* your culprit. Once I turned flipped it to allow animations it worked. 🫤 *could be

I don't use Spotify. YouTube Music has a thing to show my stuff, but it runs through things too fast to see and ends with a "Now It's Your Turn To Ask" where it gives me a couple of prompts for it to dig into stupid stuff with AI. Where is my ACTUAL wrap-up thing??

Idk what the deal is, but I have a visual thing happening where it's making it hard to see/read head on like I have a bright after-image blocking part of my view. I have not stared at anything that would cause it, and it has persisted for at least 10 minutes now. It's freaking me out, tbh.

Repost if you hate AI.

Justice for Fendi. Uppies NOW!

It's quite rude to expect people to make coffee before they've had coffee. Didn't push the button hard enough so had to try again when I realized it wasn't brewing, then when it beeped that it was done, only ½ the cup was full despite having selected a 12oz cup. Pushed over ice instead of classic! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Dems, Repubs, Tech Moguls, Philanthropists... Idc who you are. If you do, support, or hide child rape of any form, you need to be named, shamed, and face the harshest possible consequences. Full stop. Release the damned files.

"ID'd as CHILD victim" Headlines need to make this more present. Woman now, child then. There's a big intentional disconnect there created to blur that distinction. And maga poors already hate Me Too and whiny women. These weren't women.

Thank you, @weratedogs.com, for all your emails and posts. It's so nice to have a moment to smile, to feel something other than the weight from *gestures broadly*. 12/10

Bought a "fancy" ($132) coffee maker yesterday. It can make a 10oz cup, 12oz cup, 16oz travel mug, 20oz travel mug, 5-cup half pot, or 10-cup full pot worth. It can do delay brew, classic strength, rich strength, cold brew, or "over ice." But it only came with a couple paper filters, and friends...🤢

😂

Respond with the same actor as a hero and villain.

How very dare! Asked son to power wash the deck before it snows (asked last night about doing it after work this week at some point). He said yes, so of course it did this. Hopefully it will either melt or stay this little until the job's done.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

We have a group of ferals (again). We used to have a largeish contingent of neighborhood cats that roamed, people didn't bother with spay/neuter, we ended up with wild kitties in the area. We felt bad, set out food for them once (huge mistake), and ended up supporting them until they were caught.

Fall through Spring I generate an insane amount of static electricity. Zap myself on every surface that has metal (even wall corners where the plates are under texture & paint). Shock grandkid when she touches me if I've recently stood up. ("Oops" she'll say now. 😂) I think the most disturbing

Did I spend 20 minutes choosing the perfect customizations for my Legion Remix Dracthyr Priest? Yes. Did I then delete it because I didn't see I only had a narrow bridge to get to the artifact weapon boss and fell to my death? Also yes. 😤 Look, dying before I've even gained a level will Not Do.

🧵For those new to Matt Schultz, the candidate running against Nick Begich III for Congress in Alaska, I’ll provide some background from knowing him & his wife for the past ~8 years. 1.) His approach to ✝️ is about ❤️ & justice. Think Jesus, @jamestalarico.bsky.social, Mother Theresa, Bishop Budde…

C'mon, thermostat. Work with me here. I'm only adjusting you one degree, but one up is too warm and one down is too chilly. I JUST WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE!

AI is like that time I woke up and found a U2 album I didn't ask for on my iPod. I don't want it. I didn't ask for it. Leave me alone.

Grandkid likes helping with mommy's diamond paintings, so I thought I'd get her her own to work on. She's been doing them almost every day since I got them Saturday. She knows who she wants to give each one to. Love this kid. 💜

So incredibly talented. These are awesome!

For awhile we had to prevent meltdowns when my daughter dropped kiddo off by asking her, "Do you want to go to the car wash? Get McDonalds? Go to the store? Then mommy needs to go to work and make money." Now when mom leaves she yells, "Make sure you make money, mommy!" 😂😂😂😂😂

Just watched this week's HIGNFY. It looks like it was a very good time, and I'm amazed at some of the stuff CNN allowed. I'm going to bed happy now. 😂

My hair has gotten unruly. Quick - help me decide which one would work better! (Appt in 40 minutes. 😆)

Redeemed some dots when placing my order for more coffee and some cleaning stuff on good.store. This is what's left currently. Love this for me. 😈

I can feel @therealnzoth.bsky.social's tentacles in this and can almost respect it. It's effective as a madness inducer. Grandkid has a tablet and phone open to the Talking Tom/Hank game mode where Hank repeats back, AND has a sunflower toy doing the same. When all 3 get going back and forth....

Ugh. Rain. It was in the upper 30s this weekend. We don't need the potential mess of rain, tyvm.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

She chose to wear it to my house today. 😂

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument
