Well that sounds a little gross, but I’m actually just impressed @winomite
Pretty sure my original retainers lasted a whole month before I lost them

I am still wearing my original retainers. They are 25 years old. That’s all I got. If you've still got it, flaunt it am I right @winomite?

When we moved I decided we needed new towels and sheets because the ones we were using were.... from our wedding registry. We got married 8.5 years ago.

We brought ours into our relationship 15 years ago. And yes, there is a difference between the Wal Mart sale towels of yore and good towels. Also if you can wait, lots of places have awesome Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals of this stuff.

When we moved I decided we needed new towels and sheets because the ones we were using were.... from our wedding registry. We got married 8.5 years ago. We just did the same! The thing that clinched it was when I was drying my hair and somehow managed to put my hand through a towel. My weirdo kids both went through phases where they liked to chew on the towels, so I didn't want to buy new ones just to have them destroy them.

We definitely don’t have our original sheets because I have ripped holes in the fitted sheets with my heels. When I get really stressed that’s when the behavior ramps up.

sterlingI replaced my towels using Kohl’s cash after last Christmas. I donated the old ones to the animal shelter. It has also been about 6-8 years since I had replaced my towels!

Can I do one for my 4 year old? Good.
In Disney, he saw a woman in a full burka. He has never seen a woman in a burka. He got so excited and ran after her shouting "You're a ninja. Stop ninja! Mommy, daddy it is a ninja!". DH and I were mortified. She handled it like a boss, though. She stopped and said to my son. "I am a ninja, but don't tell anyone.".
He thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Later that day, he told the couple sharing our table at the Biergarten that DH farts in his sleep. 4 year olds have no filter.

We are still using ours and we got married almost 5.5 years ago. Some of the towels were packed up during our nearly 2 year staying with family time period, but the sheets were used the whole time. If they're still holding up well I see no need to replace them.

Here’s a good one I remembered the other day.
When The Dukes of Hazzard movie came out, I went to opening night dressed as Daisy Duke. (Also was my Halloween costume that year).
To make matters worse, I took a picture and sent it to my ex who was on some sailing adventure. He told me all the sailors enjoyed my costume.
I seriously cannot believe I did any of that. I’m going to blame alcohol and crazy relationship emotions.

One more.
Yesterday my mom called me at work in a panic. She asked if I was still friends with xyz. I said I was. Our convo went something like this: Mom: You need to call her then, she is not well. Me: Um....what? Mom: She is having a mental breakdown. Me: What? Mom: She wrote a really weird post on facebook, call her! Me: Why are you on her facebook page? Mom: She says she doesn't even have 5 friends. Me: Hold up...*checks facebook*, mom it is a chain post about mental health awareness and she is requesting 5 friends to copy and paste it. Mom: Oh...

I was at a street fest last weekend and this bartender at the beer tent kept giving me free beer. After the first time, I would seek him out to make sure he was the one taking my beer order.

I brought DS to an indoor bouncy house/ play place. On the ride home, I was just talking out loud without thinking. I said wow someone should open a place like that outdoors! Like it could just be a big open grassy field for kids to play, and it could be fenced in, and maybe have some stuff to climb on or slide on. DH of course says...a park. I could not stop laughing.

Married 8 years ago, and I’m just starting to buy new towels. I have a hard time throwing away the old towels, even the ones in not great shape. So basically I just have lots of towels now.

Nerd confession: One of my major life philosophies/beliefs/whatever came from Star Trek: Generations (aka the first TNG movie... it was not great.). It's from the scene at the beginning where Scotty introduces Kirk to Sulu's daughter, and Kirk wonders how Sulu managed to find the time for a family. Scotty says "When something's important, you make the time."
It just stuck with me over the years.
And add me to the "Enjoys Big Bang Theory" list. It definitely has its problems, but I still watch.

I am watching coverage of Florence and having a reeeeeeeally hard time finding sympathy for people who are waiting to be rescued.
I KNOW there are exceptions where people are trapped for a legitimate reason. But it seems like 99% of these people just didn't take it seriously enough and now they are putting other people at risk.

old towels are used for big spills/messes, cat towels for the carrier and if we need to give them a bath, and also car towels for when we wash the car. We have a lot of old towels but we use them. I don't throw out shit that's old just because it's old. If it still works or has a purpose and isn't falling apart I see no need to replace it.

I still watch BBT. I haven’t picked up many new shows over the last couple years, so I just stick with the old ones, until they are all eventually canceled. I’m sad that The Middle ended. I don’t think that’s a confession, but I don’t know anyone in real life that watched it.

I take them to my dentist and he cleans them for me... The top is purple with glitter and the bottom is clear with glitter. I liked glitter when I was 12. I still have my old retainer for some reason though it no longer fits. It’s also clear with glitter bc 15yo me wanted something “classy and versitile” 😂

I wish I had been a dork and kept my retainer. I stopped wearing it after like 6 months. My teeth have shifted a little, not horrible but definitely some.

I just realized a few weeks ago that Costco and Cosco are 2 totally different companies. I 100% believed Costco was the one making all those car seats.
It also took me at least 3 visits to realize why Five Below is called Five Below.
