Emily Post It Note

@KJP Brewster gives local residents as many bulbs as they want to plant in the fall. Springtime is an absolute riot of daffodils

Every spring in New England, something special happens. We call it Daffodil Days. 🌼 After months of gray, our towns wake up in yellow, Vineyard, Newport, Nantucket, and little villages all along the coast. Flower crowns, parades, storefronts in bloom, even cars completely covered in daffodils. Everyone competing, in the most lighthearted way, for the best display just trying to bring a little more joy to their corner of town. After a long winter, it’s the happiest kind of competition 🏵️💛

@AppyOrtho I'm from New England but have completely embraced southern culture for the past 30 years. My NE siblings continue to ridicule my manners.

That aggressive impolite energy has absolutely ruined too many homeschool co-ops and church coffee hours in the South.

@ladyloodeeloo My sister actually said that she thought I should legally change my name. WTF seriously

@Emily_Post_It Oof. Thats rough.

I have to say that sometimes it sucks being a middle aged woman because all the world finds you to be the lowest of creatures, a living breathing joke.

@homemakinghunny I'd lay it down after you put her to bed, then wipe it up before she can crawl near it (or put up baby gates if you can)

@homemakinghunny I made a slurry with borax, sugar, and water. Left it in the trail the ants had established. The ants bring it back to the colony and it killed the whole colony.

So I’m dealing with a minor ant infestation and I know exactly where they’re coming from and I keep spraying it and they keep coming out of the same area so I’ve been sucking them up with my dustbuster vacuum attachment but now my vacuum is full of live ants and I don’t know what to do about it.

@HannahMatha @MichaelRaanan @AndrewKaufmanMD Ha, it took me over a month to get up the nerve

@Emily_Post_It @MichaelRaanan @AndrewKaufmanMD I’ve been trying to build myself up to doing the is test for months: it’s sitting in my bathroom

Let’s pause and think about what actually happens during a colonoscopy. You’re sedated. A flexible tube with a small camera is inserted into the colon so physicians can examine the lining and remove abnormal growths at the discretion of the doctor. That lesion may become cancerous in 15-20 years or it may never become cancer. In the meantime, poking a little too hard with the instruments can make a hole, leaking fecal matter into your abdominal cavity. So you could end up with emergency surgery for a possible lesion that could possibly become cancerous someday. Now, instead of reacting emotionally or projecting the program you’ve been given, step back and think logically. Does this sound like a good idea? When a procedure can lead to death or permanent damage, don’t you think it’s time to rethink our approach?

@RageScrolled @truthandhyssop Nope

@Emily_Post_It @truthandhyssop is it teak?

I have such a bad feeling towards people who sell things for way higher than they ought to. I have no logical reason for this, they can do what they want and are not affecting me, but it bothers me on a deep level anyway lol.

@MichaelRaanan @AndrewKaufmanMD I qualified for Colo-guard through my insurance because I had never had a colonoscopy. It's basically an at home test (poop in a cup and send it to their lab). Rather disgusting but hey

@AndrewKaufmanMD What are some screening alternatives?

Flour Companies: What if we put it in a paper bag that’s only partially sealed at the bottom?

@JMDucksworth April Cornell has excellent slips

Another thing that seems impossible to find is a good full slip/under-dress. Cotton or rayon, narrow straps, low wide neckline that won't peek out, fitted bodice and flared just-above-the-knee skirt. With NO pleats/gathers/details/texture that will show under the outer dress.

@cactus_jinx Please add "Hairspray", "Dirty Dancing" and "Footloose" to the list

The movie Grease really sucks. Sorry.

@cvpayne He didn't eat it. He existed in the same space with "the product" in as little time as possible.

The first and last time this dude will ever eat a Big Arch.

@MrPitbull07 If I'm staying in a nice hotel and enjoying a free breakfast, I think I can part with 5 bucks so a person who had to get to work by 5 am will keep coming to work by 5 am so I can keep enjoying the free breakfast at the nice hotel.

We stayed at a hotel and went to the free breakfast buffet. There's an omelet bar but the line is so long we just ignored it and served ourselves (bagels, fruit, yogurt, juice, etc). Imagine our surprise when we were halfway through eating and a staff member puts this on the table without a word and walks away. The "free" buffet "costs" $20 each but there's a "discount" because it's free. We seated ourselves, served ourselves, and cleaned up after ourselves. Why in the world would we leave a tip?
