I love when customers say "here's $50, she likes purple, go nuts"

A bouquet of purple, pink, and white flowers. There are hydrangeas, daisies, carnations, mini-carnations, statice, stock, dianthus, and a white rose in the middle. I created it.

I'm really struggling with some Youths at work. They can't be quiet when I'm on the phone with a customer, so I have to snap or clap or pound the worktop to get their attention, like an asshole. I hate it

I'm stressed out to the point that I'm currently on an unscheduled break to calm down

They remade Running Man and replaced Arnold Fucking Schwarzenegger with [checks notes] the skinny guy who played "A Butt In Wranglers" in Twisters? The guy who got his asshole waxed in Bad Moms? Why

My granny sent me a little money with the caveat that I do something for myself with it, something I'll really enjoy

Suddenly I can afford the bottle of perfume I was saving for

I am so fortunate to even have a living grandparent at my age, let alone one who sends cards & gifts. What a blessing 💗

Do ittttttt. I knew a woman who had a triple nose ring and it was incredibly attractive. I'd love a second ring next to my first

I didn't hear Grandpa Kid Rock* complaining about dyed hair & piercings when cool people attended his shows by mistake back in the day

I've never been more invested in someone else's donut opinions, tell me everything, what's the best one, what's a waste of dough & fat, what's a good weird one

My perverted food opinion is CHEESE DOES NOT GO ON SANDWICHES. That is gross and what is wrong with you.

The only exception is a grilled cheese sandwich and ONLY if there's tomato soup. My ruling is final.

I love the "it's for home defense" excuse bc sure, you could pull a gun on a burglar, but running at them with a hatchet is probably as effective as anything else

I might stare down a gun bc I've got more bravery than brains but I am instinctively gonna run from an angry bitch with an axe

Simply owning and enjoying a gun doesn't make you a gun-humping fetishist.

Spending years pretending to be the toughest motherfucking patriot on your quiet suburban block bc your genitals tingle when you think about shooting a human being, that's what makes you a fucking weirdo.

"It's for home defense!" You have a violence fetish.

"It's for protection!" You're just afraid of everyone.

"I have a right!" But not a responsibility?

"It's for government overreach!" But you're not doing anything about the secret fucking police!

Because it was NEVER about those things.

Where the fuck are the gun-humping "patriots" now? Where are those bigmouth motherfuckers at? They don't give a fuck about anything that matters. THE FEDS ARE MURDERING PEOPLE AND PETS but the gun nuts are nowhere to be found, because they're actually just racists who want to shoot brown people.

she's married now. She seems to accept that the whole situation was a mess, and that her parents should have protected her from herself as well as from Fucking Doug

i believed i was super mature but i wasn't. i was cynical & smart, but not mature. i needed to be wanted, whether for tits or brains
