he/him. c_davies on the bird app; an odd little man with a British accent everywhere else. Cat-lover; SlashGear writer; car geek; 🌈 I do not 'like' skeets; it's nothing personal it just gives me anxiety.

Considering I've barely left the house in days, if it's illness then I've picked it up magically 😂

Feeling the same here; I'm putting it down to mold (or similar) allergies after all the rain.

I hope one of those 2 comments is someone telling him the correct term is "extreme GApe" and that he should google it immediately

I am still alive and barely blue-tinged, probably because I have wisely limited myself to merely a pound of fresh Michigan blueberries per day

We definitely seem to be getting more this year than we have previously. As long as it's not all dumped in the space of, like, an hour, we should be okay.

Ease yourself in with one leg at 7" and the other leg at 0.5", and be selective which side faces guests and loved ones.

Have you done a tentacle/crableg pot with a darker glaze, like a tenmoku or something along those lines? I think it would really suit it, like some deep-sea denizen surfacing for the first time.

I saw my 1.5yr old nephew yesterday. In the 6mo since I saw him last, he's gone from being a baby to a real little man. He was exhausting and adorable and he cried and gave me hugs and demanded I follow him at all times. I don't want kids (this fact was strongly reconfirmed) but I love him so much.

This is true, but it's also a nightmare because you (usually) can't work so you have to be financially self-sufficient for the duration (& typically prove that upfront). Then, permission to stay at the end isn't guaranteed.

And both are constantly fishing for engagement by dangling the most deranged notifications on your phone, like "Bibby Tuckerson-Pith just shared "Why My Dog Is CFO And That's Okay" and people are reacting to it"

That doesn't surprise me one bit. Our last move (from CA to MI) wasn't cheap, but I still think it worked out better than had we tried to do it all ourselves (and with less soreness)

Watching three large men try to manhandle a ridiculously heavy and floppy natural latex mattress into a cardboard box was a stark reminder of my own, personal limitations.

After watching a pair of guys hustle in boxes and furniture in a couple of hours, that would've literally taken us days to get through, I decided it was well worth every penny after we last moved.

It's a small thing, but whenever the USPS informed delivery email arrives saying there are "Mailpiece(s)" coming, I always read it as "Codpiece(s)" and picture metal crotches from suits of armor being stuffed into our mailbox. It makes me smile, anyway.

How desperately depressing. And missing the whole point: that it's about the time spent, not the content read out.
