Just to stray onto a bit of a tangent, here – have you ever messed around in black and white with a red filter attachment?

There's something very "forgiving" about it and you end up looking like you've spent some hard hours covered in cucumber slices at a day spa.

sorry, i guess i worded that weird. we've met and we play and record together - i meant for every consecutive band thing on my calendar, i'm actually excited instead of dreading it

haha the pain is real

don't let boring mainstream norms dictate your life, maaaaaaan.

i'm going to be 40 soon and i'm very okay with never being seen as sexy again or never having sex again

this is what i keep telling myself

her: what do you do for fun

me: i read books and shitpost

her: is that it?

me: sometimes i go to a park and read books?

I do have a new M.O.

For the next year I'm only going to buy clothes from Walmart

I'm recessionmaxxing

26 in august. also when i lose my health insurance [wooo america]

just do not care anymore about sex. it's kind of like how as a kid you fantasize about playing in the majors.

then you're like....i'm not an athlete

you late in august? virgo?

this is very funny

thank you

virgo. auggie 30

yooooo

Hell yeah, Waltonpilled

i bought a pair of pants and a shirt from walmart in 2005 that i would buy again to this day. the pants were pullon black demin pants and the shirt was yellow with the image of birds flying away and had the words 'let's get out of here' on it.

i mean, i bought clothes from walmart other times as a youngin' when my mom used to grocery shop there before she boycotted it forever.

I saw a shirt there the other day that said "you assumed i was normal - that's on you"

glorious

simply love attitude shirts

this also stems from last year when I saw a perfect beautiful angel poking through the discount DVD bin - a walmart brand fitness goth

a perfect combination of white trash and dignity

my stats have never recovered. it's not helping i've been listening to nothing but contemporary country music radio the past couple of weeks.

"inside you there are two wolves"

95% of my kids' clothes come from Walmart. A onesie is a onesie, I'm not spending more than $6 for something that is going to be spit up on, shit in, and and ran through the literal dirt. My older kid has gotten plenty of compliments on all the sparkly stuff I've found there.

And for winter coats I splurge and get them one from Costco. No sense in designer stuff that will be outgrown quickly and not taken care of. There's not even a department store within 50 miles of me, anyway. I only go to one if I want something new.

my lips are sealed

i don't want to be a player

lol nope

who wants some monkeypox tea

not bad for just getting back into running. i go between picking a length of time to run (started with 10 mins but 20 is good now) and going as far as I can in that time or picking a distance goal. the first thing i did on the treadmill was attempt running 1 mile. my goal today was 3.

my older cousin is a runner, too, and asked if i wanted to run a marathon with her when i mentioned getting back into it when we hung after her mom's/my aunt's memorial service last week. i didn't say yes or no--just asked "a whole one?!"--but I am thinking about it even though I only ran 5ks and shorter races when I ran competitively. I have some endurance but I mostly like to go fast.

edit: guh, i need a busy poster in front of my treadmill to help me concentrate/give me details to get lost in. i always forget to look for something until i am confronted with staring at cracks and cobwebs in and on the basement wall. this meme about the sorry state of the world from topleybird would be greeeat.

that's way too high of a time and power level to be microwaving something

so wife's college roomate's new husband gave her monkeypox

new husband is very close with his bros.

very close.

new husband just got back from a trip to comicon

with his bros.

that is my monkeypox tea

:D

yeah i'm so hot right now/then

:D

Wait, you ran 3 miles in 22 minutes? That's fast as fuck. I'd be happy to run 3k in 22 minutes.

I just got cleared to exercise a week ago, as long as I don't lift anything too heavy yet, and no sit ups or ab focused exercises until 12 weeks post op (I'm at 7 weeks now). But I can do cardio again and have started with 30 minute walks. My stamina is shit right now but I guess there's nowhere to go but up.

no planets, that's her microwave oven

i don't think she should be cooking for that length of time don't encourage this

Microwave oven that goes the distance!

does anyone ever actually use the "power level" setting on microwaves?

I remember growing up my grandparents had the most convoluted esoteric microwave on earth. Don't we all just mash the start button to get the time we need in 30 second increments?

what on earth are you microwaving that needs more than a 3 minute blast for the love of god

lol i remember cook books from the 70s that were like you can cook a 4lb pot roast in the microwave

i don't remember these books but i've seen them

i'm only 27

i used to work with this older lady who pronounced it "mackernave" and i think about that constantly

she once told me that i would have been a fine suitor for one of her daughters but unfortunately all of her daughters are "no good evil brats"

so naturally i was like "are they hot?" and she goes "no they're liars"
