The original Rice Krispies Treats cereal was the best. The current is a pale imitation and lacks the depth of flavor the original had - it wasn’t overly sweet, and it had a perfect balance of vanilla and puffed rice flavor that is hard to explain.
When we’re gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I’ll call my husband back to the game with, “Play dom-jot, hew-mon!” but I never stab him if he’s cheating.
I have an irrational fear that someone is going to do this to me whenever I have to park the cart to go use the bathroom - what if one small object is removed while I’m peeing, and I don’t even notice until I get all the way home?!
The total opposite of this happened once, and it was genuinely one of the weirdest experiences of my life. I was in the grocery store looking at packaged meats, and another lady comes up and parks her cart next to mine to look at them too. She starts making some choices, loading her arms up, but I’m not really paying attention because I’m comparing prices and thinking over my own selections… Until suddenly she starts putting the meat that she has chosen on top of my groceries, in my cart - that looked nothing like her empty cart, which she then grabbed the handle on and pushed away while I stood there watching, absolutely bewildered by what had just happened.
I did not buy the meats she had chosen for me, and I live in both fear and hope that our paths might someday cross again.
According to this informative video about the “super El Niño” we’re heading into, next year is going to be worse. Less easily dismissed, not that it’ll help.

the_itsb = the Ill-Tempered Sea Bass, and though it’s a batfish and not a sea bass, I’ve always thought this guy conveys the ill-tempered part beautifully.
Who I actually am as a person is a little more like some kind of crab. There’s the strawberry crab, who is “small, brightly-colored … known to be quite toxic,” which sounds just like me without medication. 😂 And then there’s the black-eyed hermit crab, who “often inhabits shells left by massive moon snails … often covered with colorful pink anemone-like hydroids, making this critter even cuter.”
