one time I housesat for a woman who kept a list of all her email and password combos on the kitchen table, as well as a checklist of all the places she’d hidden her guns
she also furnished the guest room with a large wicker trunk full of personal files including 1.) financial information and bank records 2.) a collection of racist memes from the early 2000’s and 3.) a folder labeled ‘PAIN AND AGONY’ which contained angry correspondence between her and World of Warcraft representatives, accusing the game of causing her then-13 year old son to develop an online gaming addiction
hi I know exactly who needs to hear this but if you are sniffling and sneezing every day all day you are allergic to something in your environment and should start taking a second generation antihistamine like Claritin (generic name loratidine) and probably look into vacuuming and air filtering more vigorously. you can become allergic to things you have previously been fine with at any time, including dust, pollen, and animals. and you are annoying me
Orange cats need to be named ‘just some guy’-esque names. I see orange cats that are named Patrick or Dave or Bob and I’m like “yeah, exactly”. My orange cat is named Tommy even though she’s a girl because she’s truly a Tommy.
It’s kind of crazy how delighted you can make little children just by acknowledging their existence
kids (especially real little ones, im talking under 1 year old babies) are so used to being treated either as nuisances or just being straight up ignored, so often you can get the biggest smile from a kid just by smiling and waving back when u find them staring at you, or by covertly making a funny face at them. it can be really fun to make a short connection with a kid instead of ignoring them like most of the adults around them, i highly recommend it
ALSO tangentially related at one point i had a cashier job that i fucking hated BUT the one upside was getting to interact with people outside my age group after my freshman year of college and i noticed that when kids are leaving the store with their parents, the parents would never look back after leaving but the kids almost always did. so i would always try to catch their eye and wave when they did which they fuckin loved
