that's one way to do it. lol

Guys. Guuuys. Look what I finally got my hands on.

Now all you need is some whipped cream or champagne or chocolate! :D

ugh gross. i'm going my old route and pairing it with pretzels and hummus.

my friends back at uni are having the bi-semester house party right now, so I'm there in...spirit. (...har har, geddit?)

I think I like your mom. "Oh, freezer's out? Throw the food out into the snow!"

Yeah my parents lived in the penthouse in their grad school days, and they kept the ice cream cold by sticking it on the balcony.

Also, I’m alarmingly sober for the amount of vodka I’ve dumped down my gullet.

That was possible? How would they not melt? Was it only during the colder days?

Cold weather makes me sleepy...

Yeah, Chicago in the winter.

Well, there's an idea. "Freezer goes out? Live where there's snow? No problem, just toss your frozen foods outside!" XD

I mean, it does work. It might even be /too/ cold for your usual fridge stuff.

Sadly, if my freezer went out, I'd be out of luck. uwu Stupid California weather. </3

Yeah you don't wanna leave milk or eggs in the snow over night. . . they don't taste right after de-thawing to say the least. . .

We were fortunate that nothing in our fridge went bad the night our power went out. I didn't actually trust the milk though and made sure to pour what was left down the toilet.

Why not down the sink?

Because that way I avoid getting a sour milk smell from the pipes, at least pouring it down the toilet and flushing dilutes the milk and clears it from the plumbing.

Natural fridge.

Lol yeah, Cali weather sucks like that, even in winter. ...TBH everyone's like "Espy why would you want to work anywhere besides Cali, that's like weather paradise" and I'm like... TBH guys Cali weather's not all that great. Grass is always greener, and all.

I generally pour shit down the toilet because it's less likely to clog, but running hot water down the sink after you dump stuff in there generally helps with that, no?

Nope. Hot water down the sink after the stuff just makes the smell come faster. LOL

Hm, odd. I've never had an issue with that.

Have you ever lived in government housing? LOL

...Okay, good point.

The soap scum deposit out of the bathroom sink drain was like something out of a horror movie.

Ew, I bet it was like slimy and black and drippy! And if you looked at it wrong, did it move?

Oh man. There was this one time I loaned my second-worst roommate a bowl, which she used to store...I think it was an open packet of ranch dressing? Anyways, the thing sat on her desk for three weeks before I was like "yo I really need my bowl back", so one morning, she washed washed it out before class and like. Left the residue in the sink. The *moldy* residue. I'm mycophobic.

I came back that afternoon and leaned over to splash some water on my face and nearly had a panic attack.

Apparently her excuse was, "I didn't have time to clean out the sink because I was running late to class". ...Okay, fine, then you should have just waited until after class to do everything in one go, so that people don't have to clean up behind you.

I'm assuming she was also the one dumping makeup-infused water into the sink and not wiping down afterwards, because neither of the other two suitemates used much makeup, and there was this wonderful perpetual coating of brown gunk in and around the shared sink that I had to often grab some tissues and clean out.

A little coating of mineral oil would have prevented the make up from bonding to the sink to begin with, but I suppose that would have been asking too much of her. Like, soak a cotton ball with baby oil and swab the sink before using anything with pigment, so it will rinse away instead of leaving a stain.

It looked like a huge black poop, and I didn't get close enough to see any other details. I just nearly swore off soap for the rest of my life.

Huh. I'll have to remember that trick.

I didn't know that trick either, so thanks!
Not that I'm using make up, but I suppose it will also work for rinsing away hair dye and stuff.

*takes notes for next time*

also, hello

Hello cookie. I mean, EverAshwood.

Hair dye is exactly why I learned that trick; although not a good idea for the shower stall, it's great in the sink.

Eck. I always make sure to clean the sink after dirtying it with makeup, paint water, etc. :x
