I called potpourri “pot-pour-i” for an embarrassingly long amount of time before I was finally corrected. And my mom LOVES to tell the story of how I called algae allergy and asked a waiter at a restaurant once what a desert creep was (dessert crepe… which the waiter gave the best…
I moved from Oregon to the Florida Panhandle in 2012. Could not have been more different. That part of the south was much more laid back and slower paced than Portland, and while Destin was only a fraction of the size, traffic was somehow way worse.
My mom found out in her 40s that she had an older half brother. Turns out, before marrying my grandfather, my grandma had previously been married, had a child, and then when the marriage ended, she gave the child to the father and never spoke of it again until after my grandfather…
Water towers freak me tf out. And I don’t really have a good reason. Maybe from watching Aquamarine and they hid a mermaid in a water tower (I know… lol). Maybe it’s the idea of that much water in a TOWER that could fall at any moment.

My parents first got married in the early 70s, and it lasted a whole 11 months (my mom says they were young and dumb and didn’t know how to handle arguments), and they divorced. My mom remarried (in what she admits was a total rebound… similar first names, similar physical appearance,…
Oregon is so underrated. There’s no sales tax either, which helps the budget. However, in the 28 years I lived in Oregon, only once did I ever go “sunbathing” on the coast.
As someone who spent almost 10 years in association management… we think this shit is as dumb as you do. And if you think HOA board members are horrible to their neighbors… I’ve never been treated as rudely or poorly as board members (and even some HOA owners) have treated me… and…
It’s always a variation of “when you’re older”, “when you meet the right man”, “when I was your age I didn’t want kids either”… I even once had a (male) boss tell me that having children would be the greatest achievement I could ever hope for.
I’m 38… still no kids of my own (my…
