Chicago. Parent. Fat. Bisexual. Bipolar II. Loud. Still masking. Kind of cute if you squint. Nerdy, but in a way that's fairly socially acceptable now. I have a kid, Nikole, who is she/they and a spouse, N, who is he/him. Avatar by @rally.luckyraven.cc

Sexy cheerleaders are throwing entire sleeves of girl scout cookies into the crowd at the Utah Jazz game. A pious, observant man is going to get overstimulated and die tonight. A good man

Short staple is faster to grow or hardier or something short sighted. Ugh I just want something that feels nice and will hold up.

And I'm weird about bedding and not having adequate bedding is GOING to kick off my anxiety if these sheets give out before I get a replacement. Yay weird triggers!!!

Gotta sweat it out (by being hot and uncomfortable). Suffering builds character and also a healthy immune system.

Oh, my dad's dad would also rub the alcohol-soaked sock briskly on his back but you can't do that yourself. Only a friend, loved one, or begrudging acquaintance can do that.

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

You may want to put on some sort of sports game OR some sort of documentary about history. Both are accepted in this treatment plan.

I'm too fat for a bath unless it's like... a jacuzzi. But you CANNOT clean the jets on a jacuzzi properly and also they are SO heavy when filled with water.

I'd consider putting one in the basement maybe.

I'd love a hot tub.

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity.

I'm very looking forward to pulling out our bathtub and putting in a shower.

"But that's bad for the resale value of your -- "

I'm going to live here until I die and nobody has taken a bath in this place in a decade.

Also make sure you wear thick socks and slippers and a sweater otherwise you'll catch a draft and then you'll die.

Get a bottle of slivovitz.

Pour a shot glass.

Arrange some smoked meats & cheeses attractively on a plate. Add some good bread.

Get a wool sock.

Pour some slivovitz into the sock and rub it briskly into your chest and the soles of your feet.

Put your shirt back on, eat mezze, and sip slivovitz.

The amount of campaign literature I’ve gotten that doesn’t say what the person is running for is making me hostile. There are so many people in so many races! I got a handwritten postcard telling me to vote for a candidate BUT NOT FOR WHICH OFFICE. I do not understand this.

That's one of the things we've got going for us. Yes, we need to figure out how we're going to pay for tuck pointing; but also yes we can install a bidet and paint the walls any color we want.

I started really lobbying for it back then but my husband didn't agree until a year or two ago. We don't go through as much toilet paper as quickly.

We splurged on one that hooks into the sink water pipes so we get water that isn't COLD! blasting up at us. However. I'd still use cold water if that was the only option.

Yeti insulated mugs and tumbles are great, really worth the money btw.

Otterbox phone cases are also worth their price.

Dr. Bronner soap is on the expensive side (for me) but mild and gets me clean and doesn't trigger eczema or rashes, major win.

Every time I poop at work I get upset now. I am RUINED by our bidet. So nice!

Yeah, I know people who use it now and rave about it. Like... whew, we've got at least one good thing!!!!!

I really wish I had the time to thrift because when I can get in and touch things and heft them I can get good stuff. Alas, I have a full time job and a chronically ill kid and my own mental illness and fucking EXHAUSTION and it's not going to happen.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of "these very expensive sheets are great but the elastic sucks!" which is met with "you shouldn't be using elastic, just use hospital corners" which is like answering "my kid is a picky eater who only eats name brand nuggets" with "just start making them yourself."

I somehow managed to miss these comments but YES! The staple length of both cotton and linen matter! Shorter lengths fray and split faster. If you have a cotton/linen blend they can rub against each other and cause damage. You can's just slap any fibers together willy nilly!!!
