Hearts and flowers, everybody

an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in {a} happy relationship{s})
in anticipation of Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?

Well, you see, we were on this group overnight trip to a hot springs, and there was... only. one. bed.

I'm at the opposite end of this spectrum. I want friends to show their care by being *extra* scrupulous about respecting boundaries and personal property, but I'm chewing on a theory that may explain a lot of friendship friction.

As a friend, do you feel warm fuzzy and connected when a friend takes social liberties like walking into your house without knocking, helping themself to your food, or borrowing things without asking?

Ordered! Just gotta decide if it's a just because present, an Easter present, or a birthday present.

Not moldy like obviously moldy, but you could be more sensitive than the average bear to background levels of mold that naturally exist in some foods.

Sorry if I'm retreading old ground, I've only seen some of your allergy posts, but could it be something to do with mold? There's spores everywhere, but some foods tend to have more than others, and you'll also see variability in the same food from different sources or at different times.

Unless that 😭

My friend buys anhydrous caffeine powder and bakes it into brownies. You can bzzzzzt up anything you like and aren't allergic to.

Yes! Go team!

Gutwrenching. It's so hard loving a male T in the first place, and you had a date set up for him and everything.

Old Rasputin is my go-to, but that looks mighty appealing.

Oh yes! I had the lighter "Avant Gourd" this evening.

Cat! Cat! Cat!

Aw. My man is a Kip/Scott guy. Ilya's too mean for him. 🥰

I used to feed all kinds of fancy bougie food, but Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach is the only thing that allowed my chronic itchy skin guy to regrow his coat. So if you run into any kind of rashy, flaky, scratchy business, I recommend that.

Our state is considering going to a 32 hour standard work week, and they really found some drone out there to give a quote about, "I don't support it because I take joy in my long work hours."

Get a hobby, babe.

Embarrassing. I would be calling that person in just to hear what they had to say.

Right? Pretty sure he's supposed to be able to smite me if he's displeased.

Wait, geez, no *fuckin'* way. Sorry.

No way

I couldn't believe that after its creation, subsequent admins just kept it going, acting like it was a normal, legitimate thing. Should never have outlasted the Bush years.

Happy birthday! You're the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Shared dream spaces Have you been to one of these common dream locations?

No. A friend of mine is into it. Apparently, a bunch of people who were in a certain gifted program in Oklahoma in the '90s have these dreams, but they're not the only ones. There's a Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/TheMallWor...

Have you met the other people who dream of "Mall World?"

I didn't even know that, and this one was in heavy rotation for me back in VHS days. It flies by so fast.

We are idling on the tide.

I use my Sonicare. It makes me sneeze, but totally works.

And this was like, a highly anticipated, Oprah Book Club, massively promoted piece of work. Self pub authors are running circles around this kind of thing all day, every day.

keeps bending over backwards because *love* and this is our HEA? Dumper will be cheating within a year and dumpee will be patching things over and making it work indefinitely. No one grew. No one earned anything. I only kept going because I thought we'd have to get there eventually, but nah.
