• I can't remember the exact time frame, but my neighbor had stopped by for a while then called later that night to say he tested positive for covid. This was back when Delta variant was the most rampant. A few days later (i want to say 3 or 4), I was sneezing like crazy (I thought my allergy sneezing was bad! Oh no! This was 10x worse!) running a fever, vomiting, and coughing. Nothing tasted or smelled right. About all I could stomach was blue Gatorade and fries.

If it's a pattern with lots of repeats and easy to follow, I'll put on some urbex videos or a movie I've seen lots of times. This way, I still have background noise and extra visual stimuli while being able to focus on my project. Otherwise, I listen to what video game or movie/youtube my husband is playing

I miss Angelfire and Geocities websites.... damn I feel old.

I absolutely agree! I hate video walk through with a passion. I miss the days of finding a text guide, printing the part I'm stuck on, and going back to my game instead of having to wade through a ton of junk.

Yo ho ahoy and avast! Being a pirate is really badass!

Yep, I always charge hazard pay if I need to use my angle grinder. Even Dremel cutoff wheels make me incredibly nervous.

I prefer to play the old school way- in my living room, disconnected from the internet. I'd go back to Sega Genesis and old NES any day.

Thinking I had a nasty toothache when it was nasty sinus pressure instead. Once the decongestants kicked in, I was fine!

I too was about to suggest the neighbor has Bluetooth hearing aids. A family member has Bluetooth hearing aids and you can never tell they have them.

At this point, I would not be surprised if he was Judge Doom in disguise.

It's a tie between my worst ever sinus infection and back labor when I had my youngest. That sinus infection had my head just THROBBING any time I moved and it was searing, blinding pain.

Back labor sucked because all my contractions felt so bad wrapping around my back, and since I was high risk with high blood pressure, the doctor didn't want me sitting up very much and wouldn't allow me to walk around before my epidural.

I was curious about the Tabasco one. I saw it last week, but wasn't sure about it so I passed it up. I'll have to grab a bottle when I head back to the store

I'd like an old school pirate ship

What an awesome collection! Have you heard of Mansions of Madness?

If you can find a copy, I suggest the book The Idle Parent by Tom Hodgkinson. It might help you some

Bioshock and Silent Hill 2

Edit: also a very old and very obscure PC game called AMBER: Journeys Beyond. Basically, you had to go check on your collegue and do some ghost hunting and puzzle solving to save her

For me, it's a tie between having no object permanence and waiting mode. My lack of object permanence really shows in my kitchen, because I will keep everything I commonly use on the counter. If Idon't, I forget I have it. Waiting mode really speaks for itself. If I have an appointment, I can't do anything else til I'm done with it. I'm also compulsively early to every appointment because of how angry my parents would get if we were even a minute late to anything.

Well I didn't vote for him

It felt really good to delete my reddit account. I hadn't logged in or posted in months, and just lurked for a while. I was amazed at how toxic it had become. Reddit angries up the blood! (to paraphrase Grampa Simpson)

Potato chips, cheetos puffs, gushers fruit snacks, twizzlers and kitkats are my go to food when I want textures more than flavor.
