I share a nostalgia with you for the preparation of beans/peas. In my case it was pigeon peas. Grandma used to go to la plaza and buy them by the pound, and sit me with her to shell them. I remember being being leery, as worms were prone to slither out of nowhere! Your lovely writing makes we want to grow some beans next year myself 💖

I think you should keep Pinky. It doesn't sound like you have all the other stuffed animals from your childhood. Keep this one, at least until the thought of giving her away feels right and not like something you need to convince yourself to do.

DADDY APPLE DELIGHT I've been keeping more little guys lately but they have a special little guy shelf now and I sometimes take one in my car or my purse when I feel like a need a traveling companion. I would also not be able to part with those ponies.

Favourite childhood plush is a quest item and must be kept.

Yeah, I threw her back up on the shelf for now. The ponies too. But I will probably get rid of those. Maybe.

Keep Pinky !!

keep Pinky! she is so unique. also i feel you on the MLPs. i am one degree away from becoming a toy collector but thankfully i do not have the funds or the space. but those sea ponies sure are tempting!

@shnu-world There are also baby sea ponies that are just as fun

uh oh. don’t tell me this!! :’)

7 is a really random number for something that cooks eggs

I LOVE deviled eggs. I miss going to family reunions solely for the plates of old people eggs.

Yay on your first deviled egg venture! Also - are you traveling the web without AdBlock and UBlock Origin on your browser??? 👀 Sacrebleu!

@divergentrays I have been! 🥴 For some reason it didn’t occur to me, but I guess I should rectify that

finally, an award for those of us who paid to see the emoji movie

"Film nerd"? "Cinephile"? "Happy to be here", here being the cinema where beloved classic film The Emoji Movie is currently being screened?

Nope, just "I paid to see The Emoji Movie." 😂 Might need a hard refresh for it to show up. However, those other ones also apply obviously

Always a good day to reread Zurac, also, HOW is every single line in the "I run a startup, and I'm using my brain very regularly" aborcombie article SO funny. While also being sort of upsetting.

It's funny because I have been following Susan Miller's Astrology from a Toronto newspaper in 2003 to website in 2026 so when I see someone else mention her in passing I think "that Susan Miller?!"

@manulzone I also like this one: “At one point, we all got arrested and interrogated because the authorities didn’t know why we were shirtless.” 🥴

@litda Yes, that one! I've also followed her for years. It killed me that she has eight $800 pillows (she also bought her daughter eight of them!) but thought $37 for olive oil is too expensive! (I have thought about this way too much.)

9 year payoff since seeing the emoji movie in theaters with a now ex boyfriend…!!!

Master of Disguise is a fave around here and you should've heard the SNORK! sound that came out of me when I read the link name :) Very cool slash possibly permanently scarring page, LOVE IT

I too used to just whack the miniputt ball quite hard just looking to have a good time. It's different when it's indoor miniput, far more exciting bouncing off walls.

Looking forward to reading the deviled egg review! Regarding dish soap, I know that Dawn's formula was "improved" and after that people complained it didn't work as well. I think it's just that everything is getting enshittified these days.

"The blue one is his, obviously." hahahaahahaha

That coat rack is incredible

@simplescott Right! I just want to hit them and see what happens. @divergentrays That’s what I figured. So irritating!

@sneekrealm Somehow he didn’t find that joke as funny as I do 😂 @ratlands I had to have it! I’m not sure but Google tells me it could be part of Pierre Sala’s pencil line that usually goes for way more than thrift store prices. I really want to find a pencil shelf!

My daughter has a similar coat rack in her room! It really does tie the room together imo ^_^

my gf and i just started watching Nirvanna the Band the Show! one more season then we'll watch the movie (tho i hear its better if you go in blind? oh well.)

I love the interior pattern on the cloud tote!

Yayyy fiber arts update !

The tote turned out so cute! I really need to get over my phobia of intarsia

What an awesome project! Can't wait to see the beaded fish tank.

oh this is cute. i am seconding the fish tank tote idea. that sounds fabulous.

cloud tote is everything

Thank you everyone! Work on the fish tote is underway

That tote!!!!! Absolutely love, and cotlin gives it such a wonderful stitch definition 😍😍😍

Thanks! I am really liking cotlin!

amazing work!!!

Oopsie, were you a horse girl?? 🐴 I love pinball! Not good at it, just love playing it.

I am very bad at pinball but it's a lot of fun and I kind of wish I played more but it's also very overstimulating to go to arcades :) so I will live if vicariously through this post.

@divergentrays Maybe in spirit! 🐴

If I ever get eff you money you will be able to tell because I'll have a Xenon pinball machine in my house. She's my favorite.

@distillation Hell yeah, that machine is awesome. Not pinball, but I would get an Ice Cold Beer machine. I have spent way too much money trying to beat that game.

got to have a go at some pinball machines at a game expo in glasgow when i visited there, ended up being a little obsessed with the rumblefeel of some WWE one hahahaha but id love a plain ol horse pinball machine even while i wasnt a horse girl as a kid

I got into pinball about 5 years ago, no machines where I live so my wife built me a virtual pinball machine for home. I had no idea how many people secretly liked pinball! All these lovely comments and one my favourite sites @Overclockworked is also a pinhead!

@sneekrealm The Pokémon machine has a cool rumble effect too. Pretty fun! @p7uen I think it's pretty popular! At the pinball arcades we go to, there are always a lot of people.

🔮

EVERYONE BE QUIET!!! IT'S THAT TIME OF THE MONTH!!!

doubling down on the beedrill slander 😭

Your horoscopes are always so brutal, and I mean this positively, but, does feel like you're holding a gun to my head here.

I fear I am in serious need of a bit of dilly-dallying, so yes, I will proceed to have my ass planted wherever I can. Sincerely, a very, very tired Virgo.

Gemini here. I sure wish I had a merry-go-round near me. An indoor one, because it's too humid here. Good thing I have an indoor swing. :)

@manul Not my fault. I'm just conveying the message of the ˜”*°•.˜”*°• stars •°*”˜.•°*”˜

@crypty Tbh that was a mistake, but I stand by it. Beedrill is fugly

reading the scorpio entry before a job interview that starts in 20 mins.... how are you always are literally so spot on
