you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

oh nextdoor.

when i briefly was on it in like 2014 there was one dude who would go on these massive unhinged sincerely off-meds-sounding rants about the global conspiracy and how it related to the local botanical gardens requiring you to show ID to prove county residency and have the admission fee waived

Any Body Know?

Where I can buy some tomato plants (good ones!) to plant?

Please do not say The Auction Barn because I went there and it was a MESS. Even though our state no longer mandates masks I was told "Put a mask on... PLEASE!" no thank you. Then I find tomotoes, but ask "Okay, which do I buy?" there were so many! Nobody helped, I was left alone. I finally bought what "looked good" and was told they were one dollar each. Very expensive.

I planted the tomatoes right before the last frost, which killed them all. Asked for refund and was told "No refunds on plants" and they pointed at a sign. THAT SIGN WAS NOT THERE BEFORE, THEY PUT IT UP BECAUSE OF THIS.

This was as terrible as those Progressive Insurance Commercials. Helloooo, many young people should want to turn into their parents - It's called "Growing up!"

The thread has now gotten the poster to reveal that the daughter “has suspicions” and that this has “been going on a long time”. No further notes or explanations have been forthcoming.

Someone just posted this gem:
“Men who watch women and their coming and going of places use these codes so the next intruder knows whether they are alone, do live they live alone, what time
They come home etc… it’s a code they use if a girl/women is the one they want. This is how the communicate. These codes are known to be written on trash bins typically.” (Edited)

I'd feel compelled to ask both of those questions (the 'why would they want competition' and 'why would they inform the victim'), as well as what 'reports of strange men' they're referring to, and provide sources for this and NOT STOP until they left or tried to fully explain it further.
Either they knock off the bullshit, or they out themselves as the actual crazy person in the neighborhood. Otherwise you're just letting that poo poo fester and possibly spread to others who read it and just go "Oh hmm maybe"

It's one thing when Crazy Bill wants to know why his phone keeps ringing or the birds are so drat loud. It's another when he's telling his neighbors that strange men are coming to town to stalk their children. People start doing stupid things when people tell them that poo poo.

Have you ever wondered why there are these strange numbers on every house on most streets and they are always sequential and start with 1 and even on one side and odd on the other? Who is putting them there? Is it pedophiles who want to abduct, rape and murder children and wear their skin like a vest and eat their organs and bath in their blood? What has the world come to that we now have to worry about something like this happening all the time?

Perfectly Good Garden Hoses

quote:

When I was about 10, we went to the local video rental store, Video Village, to rent a movie and to return instructions for a video game (Battle Toads), which we'd lost weeks earlier and had incurred a fine.

I asked about a refund of the fine and was rebuffed by the cashier. My younger brother, who was about 8, took umbrage at this and replied with a loud "well, UP YOURS!"

I grabbed his arm and rushed out of the store like a fire had broken out. The thing is, my mom was waiting in the pickup truck for us to finish the errand. Much to everyone's dismay, the cashier followed us out and really laid into us through the open window, retelling the exchange to my mom, while I sat next to her in a tightly packed row of three in the Ford truck, wishing I'd just walked over myself.

When we got home, the rest of the family heard what happened and my very sweet Irish mother said "I thought it meant 'up your nose with a rubber hose.' "

So, to wrap it up, I think this is what she pictured and my brother faced no real consequences.

Pick up at the curb.

taking a look at my area to see if it's as wild as the stuff you all post...


losing my mind giggling by just picturing this Johnny Francois character. I'm picturing the most stereotypical cartoon caricature of a French man. Maybe a scummy theif that pretends to be a fancy Montessori teacher to get into your house and only your child is onto him? Hinijks ensure as your child outsmarts his montessori teacher/French conman. Hollywood get at me.


I was also amused by this thinking Plogging was some new wild exercise fad, like a really specific form of speed walking where you have to lift your knees JUST RIGHT, but it turns out it's just jogging while picking up litter :unsmith:


Finally we have this nosy motherfucker that needs to mind their own business and let book guy read his drat book.


All the other posts are requests to ID birds and snakes, people finding animals and asking "anyone lose a dog/cat/rabbit/parrot" (way too many exotic pets that were def just abandoned for being trouble :smith:) and a looooot of "did you hear that?"

Kitty Sitting. Hello,

I am going on a trip for six nights starting Wednesday or Thursday (tbd) and I need someone to check in on my cats once a day. I have three grown cats (two of them you will probably never see cause they hide)

I live in Rook Lane and they need to be fed, water check and litter box changed daily. Can anyone recommend someone trustworthy?

Thank you!!


the syntax and bolding is all theirs
and the comments is full of posters offering to sit the cats

Sittin' on my Porch - Come Say HI!

Do you remember "back in the day" you would sit on your porch, people would come by and say hi (and SMILE!). Sad, now a days everybody has their nose in an electronic game or is too busy to say hi. Well, now I am sitting on the porch, ready for you to come say HI. Let's take things back to the "good old days", when people did not steal your social security number through email and use it to buy a boat in China and you are then forced to spend "Hours and Hours" on the phone with the bank, arguing that you don't even live in China, you live in the Greatest country in the world, where people talk to Guys on Porches!
