    I woke up this morning having slept on my hand funny. It hurt a lot. Maybe 14 hours later, it still hurts.

    I think it might be permanent.

    When you get to the point where you can afford a nice new refridgerator, nice new refridgerators are exciting.

      One of the greatest compliments I have ever received was when a friend came over to my house for the first time for a hot pot party, opened my fridge, paused a moment and then said, “I love your fridge.”

      Normal fridge but huge variety of fresh foods.

          I learned of them as “nabe parties” (short for “nabemono”, which is Japanese hot pot) but many different East and Southeast Asian countries have their own types of hot pot.

          It’s a communal style of eating where you share a broth and cook your various ingredients together as you go, usually with some sort of dipping sauce. Generally super healthy and nutritious, but it depends on what ingredients you like.

    I was elated to find out our house has a built-in vacuum system. The shit you get excited about as you age would probably make your younger self disappointed.

        Not exactly. The garage holds the main vacuum and container. The walls have the hoses built in. The house also came with a wand that could turn the vacuum on or off. Just open one of the ports, plug the wand in, and you’re sucking like a champ.

          That’s really weird, and I imagine absolute hell to fix if it clogs (or breaks in any way), but jealous af, that’s so cool

            My parent’s house had one. It was used at least one a week for the entire time I lived there. To my knowledge it never clogged.

            The tubing was huge compared to a more traditional vacuum, which I imagine helped.

          My house has this thing called electricity and if you want to vacuum in a room you plug in an electric motor that generates the vacuum.

      Which decade was this? Because for the last 10 years, between vacuum/mop robots and a Dyson I haven’t used a traditional vacuum at all.

    I’d be so chuffed as an engineer if people got that excited over something I’d worked on.

    I spent hours picking the perfect fridge when we moved. Big but accesible. Elegant. No frills. Efficient. Nice illumination. Smooth hinges.

    Not one compliment. I need some middle aged women friends apparently.
