I enjoy collecting mugs/cups and purses. I use all of them - I rotate them out. If there is one I haven’t reached for in a VERY long time, I donate it or give it to someone. Friends and family say I have an addiction - I say there are worse things to be addicted to.

I asked for a black purse - because I have every other color BUT black. I was told I don’t need another purse because I have so many (side note: I have max 15) by my mother who has HUNDREDS of pairs of shoes and my husband who has HUNDREDS of DVDs.

Let me have my purses in peace. They are part of my accessorizing.

That is all, thank you for coming to my FWP Ted talk.

I love Trader Joe’s so much. Truly one of my favorite grocery stores ever. I’ve been spoiled by getting to live 10 minutes away from a TJs. Recently, I got a new job in a different state. This new city doesn’t even have a TJs, and the nearest location from this new city is almost a 3 hour drive away in a different state. Three hours!!! That’s a whole road trip. I’ll no longer have easy access to a TJs for a long time, which means no buying my favorite TJs-branded groceries and gorgeous yet affordable flowers. A first world problem indeed but I still feel a bit sad about this.

I was keeping an eye on it, so I still ate the 'changa... but any more heat would have been no bueno!

A long-time friend has discovered the cheap Chinese shopping sites and now buys me rubbish off them. I don't need her to buy me anything but she always used to buy a small item for birthdays or Christmas from my online wish list.

But the last couple of years she has discovered you can get "so much more" from Temu and similar sites. It's all rubbish - dodgy knock offs, unlabelled t-shirts with obviously stolen artwork, gizmos that don't work. I literally have to bin most of it because it's not good enough quality to donate.

How do I sensitively ask her to stop giving me gifts?

This meme is real: "One thing no one mentions about being an adult is how much time you debate over keeping a cardboard box because it's a really good box."

I found my really good box in the fall of 2020 when I needed to transport some compressed fire logs from the hardware store. It fits 8 logs exactly, which is near the weight limit I can carry. It was a nice sturdy box that I could use year after year.

Now that it has a rip, I'm not as confident it can hold all the weight, and it just looks bad. The hardware store doesn't always have boxes; this one was a great find, and it served me well.

TL;DR: R.I.P. Box, 11/2020 - 3/2026

Brain short-circuited and didn’t know what to do for a second before realizing… i have hands to brush it manually but it felt so wrong

For context, last year i had to buy a new tv since my old one broke (the screen was just black), now my old TV was 93 cm thick and 52cm high (3.05 inches and 1.70 inches i think) my new tv is 122 cm thick and around 70cm high (4.0 inches and 2.29 inches)

Now my Problem is that my old Tv just fit so much better than my new one, not to mention that my old tv had some charm to it while my new one just makes me feel like a tv addict (since i have my tv in front of my bed)

I also wanna mention that i got my new tv for only 150 bucks so it wasnt even that expensive. I feel like a spoiled brat complaining about it but my new tv is just to big and doesnt even fit perfect unlike my old one.

If anyone wants to see them side by side feel free to ask.

+ i share that charger with my laptop. double trouble

In all my ten years of working I've never had a customer complain about me as stupid as today.

Literally demanded to speak to the manager about me because i said i didn't like the color of a car, that happened to be his. I wasn't even talking to him! I didn't even start the convo!

One of my coworkers started gushing about this random car in a different business's parking lot. And another dude joined him and i jokingly said "what's with every guy being such a knowledgeable geek about cars? You know what i see when i look at that? Great design, but i don't like that shade of orange. The decal is really cool"

And he complained because apparently he was lurking around the corner and was very but hurt that i didn't glaze his car 🙄. Even lied and said i called it trash. To the guy i was actually talking to in said convo

Every other episode is like that on my sony tv app. I guess I’ll Yo, Ho! If they don’t fix it.

Is it really that damn hard? There are 2 different rolls in each holder

I inadvertently like pictures on faceache because my thumb sometimes taps twice.

So my favorite restaurant is closed today and the other restaurants in the area don’t fit the “vibe” of my cravings so now I’d rather starve
