Start packing like making decisions on what you want to bring, or like actually putting things in a bag?

Did Eddie Bauer change something with their current version of these socks or did they just stop offering that category?

It was more of a joke that tourists/transplants would play on more recent tourists/transplants but it got out of hand.

Yes

I was walking home from the train and two little kids were standing at their front gate offering candy or stickers to everyone walking past, it was so charming!

Yeah, this didn't seem too strange to me, but the parties in question were generally hosted by larger groups of roommates with larger spaces. They were perfect for big nights like Halloween or NYE - enough people to make it really feel like a party but not the hassle of a bar/club.

I'm so sorry it was stolen, it's a great costume!

Same!

Same, and the assorted cold-weather gear makes it even cuter!

Or Yakety Sax.

This was delightful, thank you!

Quality Heist Energy. I need to see this.

It is pretty magical! Mine does a whole Adults Night Out series - there are three over the summer with different themes (beer, wine and games), one near Halloween, and one in December for the lights. I went to the summer beer one for the first time this year and it was a blast!

I wish we still had landlines at my workplace!

It's SO GREAT! And happy birthday!

Thanks, I was wondering about that one!

I've never seen this but now I'm intrigued! Love a properly booable villain with an interesting wardrobe.

Absolutely.

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing!

I am *choosing* for my ankles to be cold!

I feel like if I sit down and my ankles get cold there's no way they're really long enough. But the end result is still being more confident in clamdiggers because that length feels intentional.

That is a mad impressive achievement! Congratulations!

I was with you until I saw the purpose-built hot mess to the right of it, then it didn't seem too bad.

That was my thought as well! I know other tall people who have and love Smart cars but the entering/exiting process seems like it would be such a struggle to me, and this would help.

These are delightful, thank you!

That's a gorgeous outdoor space - I wouldn't have guessed it was office-related!

That's a great combination!

There's one very near me and every time I walk past and realize it's still there I'm surprised.

Hell yeah!
