Wish there was a way to distribute it more evenly, lol. I am SO tired of snow by now. The walk paths I've made in the yard are almost like tunnels at this point with how tall the walls of snow are. (That said, too little snow is very depressing, so I guess this is the better problem to have.)
Oh my gosh, how is this a thing? You are literally flushing something designed to ABSORB fluid. It won't break in the water, but just clog the pipes. It is common sense. Is this some kind of cultural thing? Did you really have period products that TOLD you to flush them?! And nobody batted an eye??? (I once threw a cotton pad into the toilet after cleaning my face with it. Mom gave me such a thorough lecture about not doing that ever again.)

It's rare that people with good families have empathy. When someone like # 3 (sleepy dad and movies) comes up, I stay silent, but when someone asks "was yours the same?" I tell them the truth and they say "you shouldn't bring that up / ruin the mood". Very few want to hear anything that isn't a hallmark card life.
My family was not like this. So it's very hard for me to appreciate this list since a great deal of it was soured by alcoholism or narcissistic abuse, if not outright denied to my sister and I.
