dw_newsHello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.
The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.
( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )
Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.
On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

ringsandcoffee1. What were some of the smells and tastes of your childhood?
Vintage Lip Gloss (which is now available again).
Minute Maid fruit punch, Kool Aid
Bricks of flavored popcorn. I don't know WHAT flavor(s) it was, but I thought of it the other day, and wonder if it still exists. The only place I remember getting it is the skating rink.
2. What did you have as a child that you do not think children today have?
Squeez It drinks - which came in plastic bottle-shaped bottles. IYKYK.
3. What elementary grade was your favorite?
4th with Mrs. M. SO many reasons that I'm sure I've written about in a previous FF post.
4. What summer do you remember the best as a child?
A single one doesn't stand out, but I remember different trips, whether family vacations or going to camp.
5. What one piece of advice would you give to your younger self, and at what age?
You are fine as you are.
Running gets easier, i.e. you'll build endurance, if you actually keep at it

Nov. 22nd, 2025 02:00 pmringsandcoffee1. What's your favorite TV network?
Since I mostly watch YouTube, I'd have to say NBC (for Seth Myers and SNL clips) or Comedy Central (for Daily Show clips).
2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
My YouTube algorithm. Basically programs on cooking, architecture, cute apartments, NYC, interesting vloggers, and weird trivia.
3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
Some shows that I did rewatch as an adult were pretty cringe, such as cartoons like He-Man and Thunder Cats. I was high school age when it was originally on, but I loved Pop Up Video on VH1.
4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
This is one of those questions that I know I've got an answer for, but cannot remember.
5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
I own all seasons of LOST, which I bought as soon as they came out each summer. I also have Northern Exposure, seasons 1-7 of Doctor Who, and China Beach.
