I honestly used to love a traffic jam on the way to work. An extra hour I wasn't at work, just chillin' listening to my music, not being at fucking work. It was great. If traffic was completely stopped, like put it in park, turn off the ignition stopped, then it was Netflix on my phone time baby.

Traffic jams on the way home suuuucked though. At the time real time traffic info in my area was spotty at best, though. Almost impossible to use as an excuse now.

I'm down to be Internet crafting buddies! :D

Also, if you're at all lefty and within a reasonably drive of a major city you can probably find a group of anarchists or communists who still do quilting bees and crafting bees. A lot of what I know I learned from people who absolutely do not look like they'd be sewing and knitting. Haha. Spike mohawks and full punk vibes, plus knitting needles and gossip. It's awesome.

An amethyst crystal I found in my (gravel) driveway a full 4 years after moving in. It's a good 8 inches/20cm long, and shaped like a tear drop. It's amazing and I love it.

You and I would get along I feel.

I am ashamed to admit I have never tried this, and just learned to throat the hard way. :/

OMG, yes!

When I was like 11 or so, we had a company called EarthLink for Internet, and when we tried to cancel one month because we were broke, they gave us 3 months free. After the third time of that happening we realized we didn't have to pay for Internet anymore, and spent the money on a second phone line instead.

It. Was. Glorious.

A wire coat hanger shoved into the back of the TV to get it working

Going next door to borrow the phone because you've been downloading something all day and didn't want to lose it

This one is rough, but have y'all heard of Stouffer's stuffing? D:

Add into this people who love pits and own them, but also believe they will "turn," and so constantly give their dogs subtle cues to be on edge, stressed, and like something is wrong. They're no more prone to dangerous actions than any other breed, they're just very, very intelligent dogs that learn how to react to their surroundings. The myth of the aggressive pit is what causes the aggressive pit. We need real education on dogs in general, because that Labrador you love or the poodle who was your best friend when you were a kid is just as capable of snapping or "turning." All dogs can bite, and all breeds can be sweet and well behaved.

The scene with the wounds on his hands, something like:

"does it hurt?"

"Not really"

Pours salt in wounds "Does it now?"

"No"

Breaks thermometer into the wounds "how about now?"

"A little"

"Aww! Poor baby!" Bandages wounds

That scene has played on a loop in the back of my brain for decades. It's fucking hilarious. That and when the evil master reveals his name is Betty, and plays Big Butts. I loved that movie before I started smoking weed, and I loved it even more the first time I watched it stoned.

Wasabee. Pronounced the same as wasabi. The logo can be a little bee carrying a backpack delivering the sushi. Wasabi is pretty concretely linked to sushi, spicy things are common/catchy app names, and I'm too lazy to look up registration stuff, but the websites aren't active at least.
