Personal Top Lists & Rankings

The absolute top things on my bucket list right now:

1. Just wandering through some autumn woods and stumbling upon a colony of mist-dwellers
2. Wandering through the fall leaves and hitting a patch of forest spirits
3. Taking a stroll through an autumn forest and running into a swarm of giant gliders
4. Walking through the woods in the fall and finding a grove of blue sprites
5. Honestly? Just walking through an autumn forest... nothing else...

What even is this? Is it edible? 🤣

I'd be interested in that too. 😁

Is that from Harry Potter? 🤔

😍

Is that some Harry Potter thing? 🤔

😍

What's the deal? 😱

stormywolf39 said:Like what? 😱

So, you got some kind of beef with Harry Potter or something? 🙂

Look, you can expect two Harry and the Potters albums to show up—I'll just make sure to hide them somewhere on those CDs we talked about. 😈

vividcanyon2 said:is that from Harry Potter?🤔

Honestly—I don't really follow how they translated all those Harry Potter terms here in the States—so I occasionally feel like an ignorant heathen. Which, I assure you, I am not. It would be much better to just use the English terms...

And these are just mushrooms—regular, non-magical ones. 😍I enjoy foraging and mushroom hunting too, 🙂 but I usually just end up staring at them because I can't tell what they are.

vividcanyon2 said:So, what? You got some kind of beef with Harry Potter or something? 🙂

Fine. Expect two Harry and the Potters albums to be cleverly hidden somewhere on those CDs we talked about. 😈

🤣

It’s probably for the best if my name doesn't scare you off right at the beginning. 😬

@brightridge19/">@@brightridge19: Look, I know they're mushrooms, but I'm only interested in the ones that look like 🙂 this or 😵 that.

😬

Honestly, it's probably better if my name doesn't scare people off right from the jump. 😬

Just expect them to show up hiding behind some "rare finds" label. 🙂 😁

brightridge19 said:but I only look at them because I can't tell what they actually are.

Exactly—half the fun is the mystery of not knowing. Where's your sense of adventure? 😬

stormywolf39 said:it’s probably for the best—I wouldn't want my name to turn anyone off right from the jump😬

@brightridge19/">@@brightridge19: look, I realize they're just mushrooms, but personally—I only have an eye for these kinds 🙂 and these kinds 😵

Harry and the Potters isn't exactly hilarious or even particularly fun unless you're already a fan... but hey, whatever. Though, I do agree—give him a penalty. 😈

🙂I assume we're talking about standard button mushrooms grown in some dark basement, whereas 😵 those colorful ones—you know, the kind you only see in children's storybooks? 😁

I am fully aware these are fungi, truly, but I simply couldn't resist the urge to share my own little "connection to nature" moment :grlidrvoitespike: 😬

vividcanyon2 said:Where's that sense of adventure gone? 😬

Well—whenever I head out to my cabin in the woods—I usually leave it behind, wrapped up in a blanket next to the DVD player.😬

vividcanyon2 said:Exactly. Half the fun is not knowing which is which. Where’s your sense of adventure? 😬

As the old saying goes... all mushrooms are edible, just not all are edible twice. 😬

@brightridge19/">@@brightridge19: Yeah, if you're looking at a picture book. 🙂

brightridge19 said:but yeah, punish him. 😈

how would an idiot put it: take your punishment! 😈

😁

idiot 😍

Not number five... 😬

EvilSmurf said:(aside from Rome, but that's just a European bakery that wandered into the Midwest)

Honestly, one of the best spots for breakfast sandwiches in town is Rome, IMO.

There’s actually this incredible story tied to Rome.
Back when it was the very first day that American planes started bombing Belgrade, the folks over at Rome were handing out free bread, telling everyone, "It's a holiday today."😂🙏

1. Does anyone know where I can pick up a storage box with the right dimensions—or something similar—for my vinyl collection? Where should I look and what am I looking for?

I want them within arm's reach (and spinning on the turntable more often), not tucked away in a closet. Every single one of my shelves is too shallow. It’s a total pain.

Douglas Taylor4 said:Does anyone know where I can pick up some storage boxes with the right dimensions for vinyl? Where and what should I look for?

I want them visible and playable, not buried in a closet. Every shelf I own is too shallow. It's a pain...

I just grab those plastic crates from Target. They have handles on the side and you can fit about 90 records in one. They're roughly ten bucks each.

Thanks Jari, something like that. I might just grab one myself. Do I have more than 90 of them left? Not a chance, I'd say.

Thanks, thanks, thanks

This thread wouldn't even be happening without a crew as awesome as you guys 😍

pet said:Man. I don't really get these weird American translations for technical terms, so sometimes I end up looking like a total clueless amateur or a heathen. And I'm not. Just say it clearly in English...

Ask if anyone's curious about something. I know them all 😍

5 things I’d love to be doing right now if I didn't have to head back to campus in 15 minutes:
1. soaking in some hot water
2. crashing under a thick, warm comforter
3. watching some mindless, fun movie
4. reading a book or a comic
5. getting a massage

You're lying. Of course you'd rather just hang out on the couch.😬
