Just your quarterly reminder to join the search for my missing pencil.

The saddest word in the english language is pencillessly :(

tell me about it :'(

I searched "silver y2k new millennium pencil" and it just led me back to here >.< All I've got left is thoughts and prayers, but you have them

🙏

There are SO many people selling SO MANY vintage pencil lots on eBay! Just not your pencil. :( https://www.ebay.com/shop/vintage-90s-pencils?_nkw=vintage+90s+pencils

I do look at those lots from time to time! I really think I'll find it someday

I'm not sure how well they were archived, but if they exist, it may be worth going through Oriental Trading magazines from right before/around 2000

@richardnyxon Ooo, genius idea!

first time ive ever met a ginkgo hater :-0 but it's true the fruits get all gross

This is my first time hearing of scorigami. What a fun concept. (Although as a non-American football fan, unique scores come up significantly less often. Wow, another 1-0!)

heheh i have the "learn social skills" book in my neopets gallery

I remember feeling panicky about blood once as a kid, when I had a nosebleed that wouldn't quit. I kept asking my dad if my brains would come out my nose, which I knew they could do because I had read a lot of books about Ancient Egypt. He would only respond with "No," and did not elaborate as to how he could be so sure. I was not comforted.

I am ONLY weird about blood when its in tubes, so blood draws are a no go, but I can and have done animal surgeries/dissections. It doesn't make any sense. If I have to get an IV put in I almost black out. Removing all the organs from a mouse? Fine.

omg the stamp book, what a dream find!

@kirbeedia I mean, from a distance they’re gorgeous. But that smell is unforgivable

@distillation Other people’s blood is not as bad to me. But when it’s my own 🤢

the ginkgos planted used to be male ones but they all became female trees. I'm also a hater of the smell. It's so bad...

This week's Furbish word is "wah-tah-nee-tye tee-tah." "Wah-tah-nee-tye" translates literally to "water-tickle," or pee. And of course, "tee-tah" is the Furbish word for "tree." In other words, Furbys call asparagus "pee tree."

My little dude in The Land Before Time was named after Furby asparagus!

Aww, he is the cutest

god, i love bureaucracy...

Oh my god this kills me. Carol is the devil. Sometimes I wonder if I should just give up on my life and get a job in a government office where I can be the least efficient employee in the world and still get paid. Alas, I'm not yet miserable enough.

It does seem like they move on their own timelines. Can’t say I blame them, but it can be miserable 😂

added some zodiac themed backgrounds made from a set of old placemats I thrifted. two versions because my friend said the original green is disgusting lmfao (disagree)

oooohhh quilts!

i have a lot more quilts i keep meaning to add!

Those are some VERY cool embroideries

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 💖

@dicjournal Yes, there's something really peaceful about methodically snapping beans. They're my favorite thing to grow. I was worried nine plants was way too many, but I've been loving eating beans so often

This post made me hungry.

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!! :’)
