I had the chance to go to Wales for a semester during college, but was too nervous. In retrospect, that would've been cool as shit.

We had some exchange students from their end of the program and they were all lovely folks.

It's more fun, and mostly harmless, to believe these kinds of little stories happened. Life's more interesting that way.

It's actually more like three, but for one woman, that counts as a flock.

Definitely travel. It would've been nice to be able to get out of the states for a few weeks before I had all of the responsibilities that come with a full-time job, folks depending on me, a whole-ass flock of birds, etc etc.

My goal is now to (hopefully) travel before I'm 40 (currently 34, 35 in October). I'd like to hit up the UK (I've got a good friend there) and Japan (I'm a huge weeb), if possible.

My advice to the youngins out there: If you've got the means, definitely do a bit of travel between either highschool and college or college and a full-time job.

Oh my god, this one hits hard. The smell of bacon being fried in a skillet STILL gives me memories of when dad would fix some because he was up super early and needed something to do.

 

I'm too tired now to give a nice explanation, but probably playing with Legos with my dad as a kid. Either that or waking up on a REALLY stormy summer morning and going to grandma's house.

Gridders my beloved. This curator on steam might be of use.

My only piece of advice would, if possible, be dyeing your beard blue as well for that sweet coordination bonus.

But yeah, the dark blue looks good! As someone who also has dark hair and experimented with dyes in the past, I hope your journey goes better than mine ever did.

Oh that is beautiful, absolutely love it!

Chip and Ironicus in general are just fantastic, especially when it's a REALLY stupid game (in the good way!) like Wonderful 101. Ironicus just losing his shit at this next absurd thing never fails to make me laugh.

Ayyyy, fellow Jets enjoyer!

God, as someone who loves birds, this is heartbreaking. :(

Man, I completely forgot about the Pizza Hut book club! Getting the little badge and filling everything out with stickers? was the best part of being a kid.

 

So I've looked at like three different articles and videos about it, but I still don't get how a fridge/freezer-based icemaker works. I want this mystery out of my life. :(

 

Just like the title says: What's your go-to recipe that you can bang out on a lazy day when you don't feel like putting a ton of effort into making something?
