You could say we bought our Teslas “for the environment” in a way, though a bit roundabout. When we bought them (2018), it was after having previously leasing a Leaf which had shit mileage and poor performance over 40mph. We wanted to signal to the industry with our dollars that we wanted the EV movement to succeed. Because apparently money is the only thing they listen to. We knew full well that EVs were only a step toward a greener future or whatever but we wanted the industry to take that step and understand that being environmentally friendlier was important.

Flossing: pretty good. I occasionally forget but most of the time I realize it pretty fast because my teeth feel…thick or something.

Cutting out Diet Coke: quite good. I was super disciplined for about four weeks before I had one, in part to see how bad the cravings would be afterward. It was okay, but at the same time I could tell how easily it would be to become addicted again. Have only had it one other time (yesterday) but I’m sick so I’m giving myself a pass.

I’ve seen so many attempts at justification for that one online but I can’t help but think that those people just don’t want to admit that they’re wrong.

How can you boycott a company when you already bought their product six years ago and weren’t planning on replacing it any time soon? Asking for a friend…

I don’t remember exactly when I did but it was around then. Sooo much happier honestly.

The ones I’m talking about are just bumper stickers. What’s the difference between a learner and a new driver in your jurisdiction?

Student driver or new driver stickers on cars. I swear 20% of the cars on the road in my area have them lately. That said, I do actually think in this case that there has been an increase in adoption of these stickers (possibly to try and hand waive bad behavior of the driver?) but when I first mentioned it to my husband, he blamed it on Baader-Meinhof.

Good luck with the potential job!

He has kind eyes

I’m in a similar state but I thought I was just getting old. But with age comes greater ability to not give a fuck so maybe it’s a little of column A, a little of column B.

It’s great! I’ve picked up sewing now (knitting got too easy after nearly twenty years…) and the first major disappointment is how there is nothing like Ravelry for sewing. There are major pattern companies, indie pattern companies, review sites, blogs, etc. but they’re not all in one central location and it bums me out. Oh well.

This is super niche but Ravelry is a fantastic place for knitters and crocheters. I don’t personally participate in many forums there, but there are lots of other ways to be involved and it’s very informative.

Then or now?

5 year old me: She-Ra

10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly

Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.

I got rear ended while I was stopped at a light, and pregnant. (thankfully baby was fine. Yay for big sacks of fluid acting as a cushion!) I was prescribed PT for back pain and I think I got maybe $2K out of the ordeal from the other lady’s insurance. Whoop whoop.

Can’t say I agree with you. Call me old fashioned but I like having the physical book. It lends a vibe to the experience that e-readers bypass simply by being digital.

Gotta admit, the cute ones are hard to beat! And he is super cute. Even when he looks angry, he’s cute!

Serious question, do you feel like you’re seeing more and more of them of late? I do but my husband thinks I’m just falling victim to whichever theory or whatever it is that when you notice something, you start noticing more of it over and over but it is not any more common than it was before. I’m not convinced.

Anyway recently I was behind one that made me laugh. It said: New Driver Good Luck Everyone

If my beloved GHO can’t win, then Eurasian Eagle should! So majestic… and catlike lol

I love the one little eye peeking out.

Maybe I should post this in unpopular opinion but I did not enjoy these! I always chose what I thought were reasonable and pragmatic choices (because I was a boring and scaredy child) and I always died, lol. Looking back as an adult, I imagine that that’s the idea, that you get to and should take “risks” and they’ll pay off in the story. But as a kid I was always super frustrated, ha!
