Right on! Agreed. I don't own a lot of 'stuff', but what I do own is pretty top notch in the quality department and will last many years, if not a lifetime. I could easily afford to fill my home with all the 'temporary wants' that come to mind during the day, but in the end that just doesn't float my boat. Even used, quality goods are infinitely better than mass-produced crap. It's unfortunate most people these days don't really realize it, and just look for the lowest price tag. I have to take my garbage to a landfill every few weeks. It's a damn depressing site what a wasteful society we are. Granted, it took me awhile to figure it out as well I suppose. Difficult to stop, take a look around, and figure out the obvious dysfunctions when you're inundated by them as the norm.
I could use some Pacific Ocean island time. South Pacific. A jaunt back to French Polynesia would be great right about now, in the midst of winter in Canaderp. Ha, how's that for environmental hypocrisy? I can talk shit about our disposable, polluting society, but I'll hop on a plane and travel the world any chance I get. Well, any chance I get that isn't timed in the midst of a global pandemic.

That was quite the little rant I just had.

IKEA, polluting the world with cheap, disposable furniture for decades. Once upon a time, furniture was stuff that was built to last. Then the mass market appeal of cheap IKEA hit and people just change their furniture whenever they decide they want a style change. Not only that, but you may as well have a style change in the short term future, because that'll be around the time that the furniture starts to break in unfixable ways.
Since this tiny house is a rebrand, maybe it'll hold up well. But DAMN do I ever hate IKEA. Cheap garbage, and yet people seem to think it's all fine and normal to own their disposable, glued together, particle board furniture, for the short term that they last... then just toss it in the garbage and off to landfill it goes!!! My opinion... 100% from owning IKEA furniture, as well as the experiences of friends and family who have IKEA pieces.

Uuuugh, that's a phrase that I've never thought about before, it's just always been in my lexicon since I've always heard it. BUT, after it just being pointed out, "how come?" is damn cringeworthy!!! Those two words together don't make any sense without the full "how did it come to that" phrasing. It's nonsensical gibberish, or it should be without our ingrained knowledge of what it's come to mean.
Shit. That's buried deep in my vocab as well. This'll be something that annoys me each time I catch myself saying it now. "Why?" serves the purpose in such a simpler manner that you have to wonder how "how come" ever even became an ingrained/accepted slang.

The heck was that? I think the child may be the one with worms as he just squirmed for 3 minutes straight. And waaaaaay too old for a pacifier.

But... how would I wake up enough to make breakfast? This is deeply flawed, crazy-talk.

I once took milk out of the fridge, took glass out of cupboard, poured glass of milk, put milk back... in cupboard. Found it the following morning and could only laugh. I mean, who drinks a big ol' glass of milk when drunk?

It's not just used here in Canada, it's used everywhere. If you go into any of the big box stores, and go to the hardware isle with all the screws... 90% will be robertson. Anything residential electrical... Robertson. Basically any screw used in residential construction.... Robertson. The only thing I can think of that we regularly see phillips screws in is when they come with something that you have to assemble. Hate them! Granted, when they come with diy-assembly stuff, the quality of the screws are mostly cheap junk to begin with, but ermergerd do they strip easily.
Oh... drywall screws. For some reason drywall screws are phillips. That's the only "building supply" screw that I can think of that isn't robertson here.
It's hip to be square.

Well dammit. Now that typo is fixed my oh-so-witty comment doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The people with chicken friends are nodding along in agreement to it, but the rest of the general public who read it will just be left confused.

This guy was way, way, way ahead of his time. I mean, creating an entire business empire on chicken friends is genius.

a) no, her body was found early Monday morning,b) posting about a search for a missing, recently deceased person is kind of not Neato, more CNN.

Bumper tables are possibly the best thing to come out of this pandemic.
Would very much like to see video of patrons who have enjoyed a few beverages using bumper tables to their full capabilities.

If I saw this happen to somebody else, it would obviously be hilarious. Having it happen to oneself however was quite unpleasant. Possibly traumatic.
Large, clear glass doors are just dangerous. Not only while both open and closed, but also when they are not even there apparently.
