Also I hate that no one in my family ever changes the gross kitchen towels. If I don't do it, they use the same ones forever.
Guys! There's sauce on that one! Put it in the laundry ffs.
OMG, Yes! My husband will also take more out. There's 4 kitchen towels out in our tiny kitchen, but none of them are dirty??? Same with bath towels. I will take them all out of the bathroom to do in 1 load. I get a new towel when I go into the shower. He will go into the bathroom yelling, "Where is my towel? What happened to my towel?!" WTF do you think? Someone broke in and stole your stinky towel? TAKE A NEW ONE. My son is doing the same thing and they both end up using 1 towel and accusing each other. What is wrong with you?!?!?
My MIL/FIL just came over to get a car bike rack H said they could have. H is napping off his sickness in the bedroom so I took care of it and was chatting with them out in the garage. Somehow H's hearing issues came up and FIL said I need to make an appointment for him to get that checked out. Uhhhhh, he's had several appointments to get that checked out all of which he made himself, much like his doctor's appointment he made this morning because he's a big boy that can make his own big boy appointments. I cannot fucking believe him sometimes, like what in the fucking world......

Yes I'm still mad at my old high school friend for stealing a shirt from my college roommate. That ended the friendship but I'm still so bitter because it was such an awful thing to do and it was so embarrassing to me.

I feel like I need more context about this situation.
I recently ended a friendship for super ridiculous/embarrassing reasons and I'm bitter about it. I can hold a grudge like no one's business so I anticipate I'll still be mad in 10+ years 😂
Oh man all this egg dye talk made me realize I am waaaay behind the ball! I was focused on the baskets and totally forgot about dying eggs. I guess we will be doing that when they get out early on Thursday...yay.
They also need outfits. And I need to get stuff to make brunch. It's so early this year wtf!

We have the opposite problem here, my kids use a new kitchen towel for EVERYTHING! Dry your hands? New kitchen towel. Single water drop on the towel? Better get a new one!
I'm finally secure enough at age 46 to say that I hate dying easter eggs, and if someone wants my kid to have that experience they can do it with him. I'm not participating.
I hate the smell. I hate the mess. I hate having to eat them. I hate the waste if we don't eat them.
I love hard boiled eggs. I love egg salad and that lady on Tik Tok that makes egg salad all the time. I hate dyeing Easter eggs. It’s right up there with carving pumpkins for Halloween.
Can anyone actual read the phonics next to the word in the dictionary?
When we lived in China, a fellow teacher came to me with a question about how to pronounce a particular word—but it was written in the phonetic alphabet and I had no clue. Evidently it’s not uncommon for it to be taught over there to help with learning English.
Our students were always shocked when we told them we never learned it

We have a dedicated hamper in the kitchen for towels and our cloth napkins. NOT ONE PERSON uses it besides me. Guys, you wiped your face and hands. Toss the damn soiled napkin in the hamper. Don’t pile it on the counter

This thread reminded me to actually go Easter shopping.
Also, this is my kid’s 5th Easter and she has no idea who Jesus is. And I’m pretty ok with that.
Random complaint: I was sent an email that said: You have done this thing in the past. If you want to do this thing again, please reply by x date. If you don’t want to do this thing, no further action is needed.
Since I don’t want to do the thing, I deleted and moved on.
Today I got a new email saying that she hadn’t heard from me and she needed an answer about doing the thing, because other people want my spot.

My confession - I just figured out this Sunday is Easter -because of this thread. I had been looking forward to a calm day after weeks of craziness. Even our Saturday is busy. Now I see why MIL said she’s looking forward to seeing us for Waster. I had better start buying that dinner. Lol.
And now I need to know what colors show up on brown eggs. Because that is what I bought a dozen of today. 🤪
cville I buy, store, rotate, wash, bleach, occasionally blue, toss, and overall mange 100% of the towels in our kitchen and bathrooms 100% of the time. If I died tomorrow, it would take approximately one month for all of the towels in our house to be used and hung randomly around the house or tossed into filthy piles. H would continue to grocery shop, feed himself, and run the dishwasher but the neighbors would need to do a wellness check before it would occur to him to do a single load of laundry for towels. And the towels would mildew in the washer before it occurred to him to transfer them to the dryer.
Every once in a while I get a flash of anger towards exH, mostly about things that he took from the house before the divorce was finalized. Yesterday I was reminded that he stole my basket from the back of the toilet that I use to store extra rolls. Before that it was the new shower head that I bought. And I still get mad/annoyed that he stole my can opener and replaced it with some old janky thing that wasn't even the same color as mine. I might never get over that one.
I hear this times a million. stbxh took everything when he moved out. I'm irritated that I had to replace my slotted spoon even more pissed that I didn't realize that he took it until I needed to cook. My crock pot too. stupid stupid stupid you left buy your own shit.

Yes, I love hard boiled eggs, but I don't want to eat ones that have weird dye on them. Carving pumpkins sounds so fun but really it's stinky and slimy and too much work.
My random complaint, I've been trying to get a sleep study done for almost 2 months now. Insurance allowed an at home one which was inconclusive, then they upgraded it to a slightly more complicated at home one. But every time I call the sleep center they say I need to wait for a call back from them to schedule. Why is this so hard??!

my kid (6) has no concept of religion really and still calls a cross "a church t." we have a local nut who sets up signs saying god will judge us to damnation, etc, and he holds a cross as well. whenever we drive by him S always asks why there is a guy holding a church t on the side of the road, lol.

None of us really like boiled eggs. When eggs were hard to get during covid we just.. didn't boil them. We lost maybe one in the process and had a selection of fun eggs to use for the next few weeks. We haven't boiled eggs prior to dying since. But they literally just get dyed, dried, and back into the fridge.

I'm somewhat surprised dying eggs is still a thing given the price of eggs...I saw a meme a couple of years ago with dyed eggs saying that the person was rich because they could afford them.
I never got to do plastic eggs or an egg hunt, but even those seem wasteful, and then people scramble for them every year. The fake grass too, which is sooo bad for the environment. Also did we already rant that Easter gifts/baskets are soooo much more now. It's basically like Christmas level pressure. I always enjoyed getting a new stuffed animal or something and some candy, not the level I see nowadays.

Finally, my husband's sister's husband (BIL I guess) really hung his hat on a "divorce knife". He and his ex had a really bad divorce and somehow worked in to the decree that he got to keep this stupid special, expensive knife. They would joke that he'll keep it if he and his current wife ever get divorced. I've said before I'm concerned about him being a bad human, so this behavior makes more sense now.

She and I knew each other in middle school and hung out some in high school. I got in trouble a little but she got in trouble a lot. I do feel really bad for her though, both of her parents abandoned her and had drug issues. She had a tough childhood for sure.
I think it was part of my typical keep a friend too long when I had already seen her make a lot of bad decisions (mostly heavy drinking and some drugs.) She was also not a good friend to me, it was always more just the kind of friends where you hang out.
I was not close friends with my college roommate, she was one of four. But the roommate had a nice spread of clothes and my friend came down once to my university pretty much as a place to stay since I went to a party school. The friend did not tell me she was stealing my roommates shirt but she was acting funny the next day. My roommate then asked me where it was a few days later and when I called and confronted the friend she admitted she took it. We were all freshman in college. I was really angry that she did that and told her and we never talked again. It helped me end a friendship that needed to end anyway and I can't remember even if I offered to buy my roommate a new shirt. I hope I did! But I was broke and 18 so I'm not sure
I’ve been trying to listen to more audiobooks because I keep getting annoyed by podcasts and am listening to some “thriller” now. There is a long section where the main character has discovered text messages between two people plotting against her and the narration is
6th of August 10:10 am blah blah text
6th of August 10:11 am blah blah blah text
6th of August 10:14 am blah blah blah blah text
If I hear a date and time ever again it will be too soon.
I know they are supposed to read the actual text of the book but I think an exception can be made and they could say something like “the following texts were on the 6th of August between 10-11 am” and save us all from some misery. It’s been like 30 minutes of this!

Yes! Also mystery and thrillers now have a lot of podcasts or blogs. Either the character is working on one or following up on an old one etc. Then you have to have the transcript from the neighborhood social media group every so many chapters:
Tacokick: Did you hear about Suzzy?
Litskispeciality: No, what happened?
John Smith: Do you mean when Suzzy did X at the party?
