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

10 new wrapping paper backgrounds + updates to some old ones. I know everyone was pining for an improved Xcel Energy Center women’s bathroom floor background.

these are very lovely

i am excel energy center women's bathroom floor #1 fan

i found a photo of one of our hauls: https://oopsiedoodle.com/posts/photos/haul.jpg

It is amazing and somewhat shameful what just gets thrown out.

Before they started locking the Little Caesar's dumpster after they closed I absolutely ate fresh (boxed! right on top!) dumpster pizza.

A lot of places also intentionally destroy whatever they're throwing away. So wasteful

I remember working at Home Goods and my manager destroying things before putting things in the dumpster. Not just home decor, but gourmet honey, english tea, preserves, dainty little tea cookies. It made me sad then, and it still does. idk... kindness is as easy as sharing things one doesn't need anymore

Yes! Their dumpster was actually one of the first we ever checked. Everything broken.

a darling friend of mine used to scavenge the intentionally-broken b&b works candles and melt down the wax into tea cups she thrifted. she made so many beautiful gifts. I still have the candle she made for me-- a vanilla candle she found dumpster diving melted into a cutesy little tea rose vessel.

I also struggle with my energy levels. I try to have the mindset that my partner's mom has where rest itself is productive especially when it's healing and recovering. Productivity itself is a scam. Humans aren't meant to hustle even at home.

Are you taking a staycation this week too??? I feel a lot of that—too much to do, much of it self-imposed. Going at my own pace this week.

Totally understand- I hope you can get some restful rest!

A very relatable read! I constantly worry about time, to the point where i feel bad if I spend time watching TV or playing games because that is time I could have spent on projects

I too find myself opting out of many enriching activities if it isn't also a friend hangout OR also leading to some tangible result or thing "of value" that I can share around online. I cannot remember the last time I played a single-player video game alone, comfortable with using time like that

I tell my wife I need ISS this weekend. Pretend we're on the International Space Station, nothing gets in or out except for possibly a fast food delivery orbital capsule.

@garfriend I try to tell myself that, but it doesn’t always get through. I used to try to “hustle” all the time. I think it permanently altered my brain, lol.

@skep I am! I’m trying not to have a to-do list, though that never usually works.

@tabf5 Yep, whenever I do things just for me, I feel guilty for needing to do that. Working on just being OK with the fact that I need a lot of alone time.

@p7uen I like that idea!

I also found this post very relatable. I always feel a bit like that guy from the Twilight Zone episode who just wants time enough to read (and also to do all my other hobbies), but hopefully without that episode's ending. I hope you enjoy your staycation. Maybe squeeze in some walks through the cemetary.

I hope you enjoy this time off! I am a firm believer in the power of a staycation to reset. Especially what I call a "buffet" style one. Like before I start I set out possible things I might enjoy so I don't even have to THINK when the glorious PTO arrives ^_^

Correcting typos. Also, the furbish phrase of the week is Dah-toh-toh boh-dah tee. Viva la vida.

Is it true that the long furby is the feral form of furbies?

Few studies have been done on Furby evolution. It's possible Long Furbys are a hybrid form after reproduction with an Earth animal. I'll have to look into it. Thank you for the research topic.

i think long furbies are the result of very intentional selective breeding. their long fragile spines make them struggle to survive and find food in the wild. so like a corgi or a dachshund they rely on humans to feed and take care of the resulting health complications. source i used to be a long furby breeder in 2019.

I believe long furbies are actually not related to furbys at all, and that they exemplify convergent evolution. According to some theories, long furbies belong to the Mustelidae species and they share a common ancestor with ferrets

tune in next time for 800 words about the first thing I ever bought on amazon

I searched my email for in the aeroplane over the sea and I found the cover my high school boyfriend recorded for me as part of an album of love song covers. looked him up and he's out winning awards at the cool film festivals. I guess he was cooler than me then and also now. (I am also old.)

I'm 57 and I *also* feel like a perpetual 17 year old. I keep waiting for some kind of magical enlightenment where I don't feel like I'm just faking being an adult.

Gawd, I remember being 6 and looking at teens as if they were the sages of all wisdom. Now I'm in my 40s, and the folk in their 30s inspire in me a bit of a protective mom feeling. That being said, I consider many people younger than me to be wiser than I ever was at their age. I mean, I remember putting oil on my skin ON PURPOSE to get a tan, and reading cruddy relationship advice in Seventeen!

@skullhouse Damn, that IS cool. Sadly listening to NMH did not result in long-term coolness for me

@divergentrays It is sort of comforting that it seems to be like that for everyone. @dicjournal Agree! I have a 12-year-old niece who is very smart about stuff that I was totally naive to at her age. I remember fully believing that an "alien autopsy" photo I saw on the internet was 100% real, lmfao. But my niece is out here lecturing her grandparents to not believe everything they see online 😂

I'm in my mid 20's. I feel ancient when I'm in the internet
