fairly mundane commentary from southeastern PA
I always want to blame my early dinners on this phenomenon, www.inquirer.com/food/pennsyl... but it’s def because my dad grew up eating at 5pm on Long Island & always fed us at 5pm (to avoid meltdowns, & also because my mom left for work at 6pm, AND ALSO because it’s a gd nice civilized time to eat)
No one in the U.S. eats dinner as early as Pennsylvanians, new report says
A new analysis of when Americans eat dinner shows that people in Pennsylvania eat the earliest, with an average dinner time of 5:37 p.m.

When they cut a freckle-sized mole off my LITTLE TOE it was somehow my first time getting local anesthetic & they did not wait for it to kick in & they also didn’t tell me they were about to cut, so I suddenly felt them slowly slice off the freckle & it did kinda suck. Interesting experience tho!

This past Thanksgiving, under markedly less adverse circumstances but while staying in a house I was unfamiliar with, I poured a little bit of turkey stock into my coffee thinking it was creamer (they also had a green box of creamer?!) & took a sip, & it was…..not as disastrously bad as you’d expect

Hey, so, I have no idea who this character is and I also don’t have pierced ears, but these earrings are DELIGHTFUL, I love them

I definitely feel this, & I’m also in a situation where none of the friends I used to see regularly have kids—it really does seem like the habit was broken & establishing new routine contact never happened. I keep meaning to be the one to try, but for me too it often feels easier to just not! 😬
