I'm thankful for Mapquest and that it's always there in my time of need with simple, legible directions 😭

That and it's always funny to roll up to my usual phone repair location with literally printed directions.

I want to know what phenomena controls the fact that my car's remote start only ever works when I press the button accidentally, and never when I'm intentionally pressing it lmfao

Yeah I'm officially dubbing my (red) forester 'C.B.' because like Caboose it's killed two engines with no remorse

Oh, my car is 16 years old no wonder I'm constantly fighting with it.
just the unfortunate reality that the teenager must wage war against the Adults

In my adult life I now understand why my mom thought it was idiotic my teenage self wanted the brands high schoolers thought were 'in' bc of price, like AE, aerie, hot topic, Vera Bradley, and shit like this.
Meanwhile she had Frye boots, Lucchese, coach, and Dior casually in the closet

I wanted cowboy boots so once again I dip into my 'inheritance' (tldr I'm the only one who fits most of my moms clothes and shoes)
Left is not done, right is one round of leather cpr. Love this stuff.

Ok on the bright side the police shut them down and they closed. If you bought anything from the A10 booth in pop artist alley at Dragoncon I definitely recommend charging back your purchases. Glad to see Dragoncon took this seriously. Still upset that they took the place of an actual artist tho.

I love getting waitlisted for a con so that someone can sell Ai images. It’s like my favorite thing…

I love my dad but I hope that one day he remembers I do actually look into the problems my car has before telling him I think it's something specific lmfao

The NYCC SyFy bag... I finally found it.
😩 easily one of the top five free items I've gotten at a con, ever.
Was tossing around the idea of reverse patterning this thing in case anyone wanted to make their own as a silly little throwback

I’m doing okay financially with my own cancer treatment, but my long time friend Rebecca extremely is not.

Niche struggle, but I hate trying to buy protein shake mix as a lactose intolerant being and the only options I see on the shelf are [Delicious sounding mix with so much dairy] and [38 Vegan Ingredients + monk fruit sweetener]

I only want to not Suffer 😫

Like I sure would love to not need some of these 🥲
Love to be able to remember words said to me 30 seconds ago without them

Yes but you will only encounter that truck once or twice and then never again

I still miss the Himalayan Momo guy and the sauces they served. It's been 3 years.
That and the birria tacos from a truck that came near my work once like two summers ago 😭
Empanada trucks have never let me down tho
