The fuck? Fishy smell is an infection, not a healthy vagina. You are usual, no worries.

I think you are an outlier in your palate for celery. Could you have an allergy or something? I like it fine, it tastes good and adds a really nice flavor to stock for soup. If you don't like that flavor just leave it out when you make it, the rest of us might think your dish is missing something but who cares, if the something it's missing is something you don't like?

My penultimate child loves "cooked salted celery" as she puts it - she will rescue it from the stock pot, and likes stir fry of just celery and beef.

Replace with what?

We have a pride flag & an American flag. And sometimes a Jolly Roger. I agree, you cannot let the conservatives define themselves as the real Americans. I am here, I'm from here, wanting a better America is patriotic.

The jesuit school by my work does ring them at least thrice a day. They are kinda nice though. I agree nobody needs public alarms now we have clocks in our pockets though.

ETA: they ring hourly. I checked today.

Our library did a "big book club" thing where they made infinite e-reader copies available, and I thought hmm, I'll give it a try and wow I did like it. Later my penultimate kid read it, not knowing I had, and recommended it as one of the best books she'd ever read.

It was fantastical and strange, I can imagine not liking it but wow I sure did, and so did my kid.

Life of Pi is the one people seem to like that I hate. I want my 2 hours back, feel it was wasted.

I read the first part, it's great. Sarah is a good friend, lol.

Some written stuff I love, erotica, stories. Video no, I've not found much I like at all.

My feet are narrow so I do this sometimes, to get a better fit in width, so they 'stick' and don't just slide out the front. If your feet are wide don't do it. And yes there is more tolerance in sandals.

Mine fought like banshees when they were young but are so close and friendly as adults. I didn't do anything to make any of it happen as far as I can tell. I never understood why they fought so much, and they are so funny and love each other so much now.

Maybe some enjoy flammable? My lunatic ex took an old Christmas tree out to the backyard and set fire to it because he wanted to see how fast they burn. He nearly did burn down the house, that was a BIG fire, very tall fire. But if you have a big enough space, or broke it down to burn more slowly and reasonably? Fuel.

We get a real one from our neighbor, he does yardwork & sod most of the year but at Christmas he gets some trees to sell from some guy he knows in N Carolina and they are always amazing all of them. Yes it costs a lot, we have a large family who come for Christmas and it's nice, I categorize the expense as entertaining.

When I was poor, I would just make a "tree" each year out of something. One year the coat rack, one year on the wall in construction paper, one year I found a inflatable one like a beach ball, one year my ex cut the top off a bush & hedged it into a cone - that went on for almost 20 years, always something different. My kids didn't mind at all, nobody ever said "you need a tree" only "cool". You don't need a tree. Don't feel obligated at all.

At work I have a wee artificial one.
