… Please do not throw away Nana’s crockery. Some of that shit is valuable.
Also, use a wet wipe and turn the net curtains into tights you can wear while he rails he. Nana’s generation was frugal, she will approve.
This comment made my life better than the post made it worse. Thank you for bringing a significant net positive into the world.
Lmao. Thank you.
People will pay crazy money for old Pyrex stuff. I saw a bowl my grandma had growing up in a thrift store (it was brown and had mushrooms on it) and they wanted $75 for it
So yeah, don’t throw away anything in grandma’s pantry. Sell it and blow the money on ketamine and plan b
My parents (and grandparents) sold antiques, traveled and did the flea market circuit. That brown bowl with the mushrooms, was it this one?
We sold a ton of those.
lol yup! That’s the one
Holy fuck I have one of those somewhere.
What a terrible day to be literate
It was so offensively british my small american brain started to slightly melt.
Ladpoles? Oh my.
How to unrealise?
Was just about to comment that I don’t get it when it dawned on me. Yeeesh
that’s a new one for the dictionary
What the fuck did I just read and how do I get what you’re smoking?
Ladpoles
Oh my
Ladpoles? Oh
“Ladpoles” is an utter stroke of je ne sais quoi.
Oh I can answer that, usually that happens with a stroke of the penis
sorry I don’t speak german
Yeah, I don’t know what that is either.
Hmmm… Think tadpoles that came out the laddie.
My girlfriend (now wife) and I moved into my late grandparents’ former house after high school. Even slept in the bed that was never taken out of it.
Yeah, it was a little weird on occasion having sex in that bed if you took a second to think about it. Wasn’t difficult to get over it though.
At this point all my dead relatives saw me go through my teenage years anyway. Nothing should shock them anymore lol
It wasn’t even a ‘they’re looking down on me and disapproving’ thing, it was just kind of weird to fuck in my grandparents’ bed.
Right? All the times I [never revealing this to another living soul], they sure wish they weren’t watching…
Even the SO knew this one was you 😂
Also “ladpoles” 😂😂😂
I’m that predictable? Lol
It took me three tries to parse that, but once I got it it cracked me up.
But throwing away her crockery‽ That’s a shame, and something she’ll regret one day.
Oh my God right?!?! You know what I have learned since becoming an adult?
Throw away all the shit new bakeware and go find the oldest shit that doesn’t have lead in it and make people jealous with how much nicer it is to clean and use. Ceramic and steel, all the way.
that doesn’t have lead in it
Being absolutely certain it does not is why all my cookware is new. And expensive. And ugly. 😢
It does not need to be those things. Cast iron and steel are not always expensive. Can be bought used pretty safely and is very nice to look at if you are ok with the all metal look, or willing to pay more for enameled.
Don’t every bother with the “pretty” looking cookware, even if it’s premium pretty cause that stuff is universally worse to cook with. I make bread in a Pullman Pan cause it’s a classic.
Besides that avoid shades of yellow and red in ceramics, don’t used cracked or scratched, and trust the names that are known not some, “granny made it herself” looking stuff. Oh and lead testing kits are cheap and I already had them for the paint on my stairs.
This really messed me up when I was a kid. Fucking religious upbringing.
YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GODS
When was the last time you talked to your the rapist?
what are you on about?
I think he meant “therapist”
Oh lol. I totally did. I am gonna leave it.
ooooooh yeah that makes more sense
People really shouldn’t skip meetings with their psycho the rapist.
