Appreciation post: my 8th grade English teacher who made me write a story every week

The dog always found his way home eventually though, that was the whole point of every story.

Threw $85 down the drain on that 'professional' pattern drafting kit

Those curved rulers are a total marketing gimmick if you ask me. I've got a beat-up shoebox lid I've been using for templates for years and it works fine. Not everything needs to be fancy.

A client in Tampa told me my extractions were too fast and it totally changed my routine

Oh man, I gotta disagree a bit here. Don't get me wrong, pain relief is important, but if the massage itself is rushed or the therapist is distracted, that relief doesn't stick around long. I've had sessions where they focused so hard on one sore spot that the rest of my body felt neglected by the end. Does anyone else find that the overall flow of the massage matters just as much as targeting the pain?

Spent 3 hours trying to book a bus from Krakow to Zakopane online

Honestly, same thing happened to me in Poland. Local payment systems are a nightmare if you don't have a Polish bank account.

I always thought store brand trash bags were fine until my kitchen flooded at 2am

Six years ago I had the same thing happen with a ziploc bag of chili I thought I sealed properly. @the_elizabeth, leftover spaghetti is one of those things you always try to save even when it's late and you're half asleep. The problem is those cheap bags don't actually seal once the food has any liquid in them. You think you pressed the zipper all the way but there's always one tiny gap near the corner. Next time try putting the whole bag inside a bowl or even double bagging it if you're storing something soupy. It's annoying but way better than waking up to a puddle at 2am.
