That sounds like a really good plan, thank you!
In the US, in the weeks leading up to the new school year starting late August/early September, many retailers will offer discounts on school supplies - paper, pencils and pens, backpacks, etc - to attract customers. Many clothing retailers market it to students as a great time for a wardrobe refresh or to reinvent your look entirely and offer discounts. Same deal with electronics, especially since higher math courses tend to have required calculators. Some states - including Ohio, where I live - offer a sales tax holiday on a weekend during this season to help with the expense involved.
It’s wicked expensive with just one kid, I can’t imagine having several.
the_itsb = the Ill-Tempered Sea Bass, and though it’s a batfish and not a sea bass, I’ve always thought this guy conveys the ill-tempered part beautifully.
Who I actually am as a person is a little more like some kind of crab. There’s the strawberry crab, who is “small, brightly-colored … known to be quite toxic,” which sounds just like me without medication. 😂 And then there’s the black-eyed hermit crab, who “often inhabits shells left by massive moon snails … often covered with colorful pink anemone-like hydroids, making this critter even cuter.”
I’ve been wanting to do a pi lab myself someday, and your post is so encouraging! Were there any guides or other things you used to get going that you found particularly helpful?
I think the physical and psychological distress that tend to result from Vogon poetry would be problematic for the celebrational mood I’m hoping to achieve, but there will definitely be gorgeous sandwiches crafted by the loving hands of an artisan of intergalactic renown.
I’ve never seen a recipe for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters that appealed to me, but I’m hoping to get that sorted as well.
That fortune! Oof, ouch, my self-esteem!
The original Rice Krispies Treats cereal was the best. The current is a pale imitation and lacks the depth of flavor the original had - it wasn’t overly sweet, and it had a perfect balance of vanilla and puffed rice flavor that is hard to explain.
I’m turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.
How will anyone know I exist if they can’t hear (or read) my bitching?!?
Those ears! 😍 I wonder what it’s like to be able to hear mouse farts and bird burps?
There’s something tricksy about their faces, like maybe they’re the kinda guys who might try to hide extra rows of razor-sharp teeth behind the cute front ones. Big chaotic neutral energy!
They remind me of Flareon! 😍

“This baby can hold so many trips to the underworld!”
They’re called a kissing bug because they tend to target the lips and face, as they’re active at night and that’s typically what’s exposed when people are sleeping.
This is the second-worst news you could have given me on this subject, the first-worst being “and they’re in your pillows right now.”
I hoped to get some “fuck yeah, let’s never learn about those bastards TOGETHER!” in response but feared I would get informative replies like yours. I pine for my ignorance.
They live in most of the US
THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I DIDN’T WANT TO KNOW 😂
dammit
Anybody else flatly refusing to learn more about kissing bugs? That name combined with the death toll gives me thorough heebie-jeebies.
My mom was in the hospital over Thanksgiving, and I cannot fathom the devastation I would have felt if I had come home from all the stress and difficulty there and discovered my beloved little buddy was gone; to say my heart breaks for you sounds hyperbolic, but I’ve got tears in my eyes typing this. I am so sorry.

This is genius! I’m so excited to tell my friends, thank you so much for this tip!
That caption is 🤌
