I absolutely LOVE your candles (I hate vanilla odor but the messages are hilarious). I have loads of flashlights (gee...I wonder why). Most importantly, however...our gas fireplace has a battery pack to open the valve and allow the pilot light (non-electric item) to function. The remote, letting the battery pack know what to do, runs on 9V batteries. As long as I change the six (YES...SIX!) double-A batteries inside of the "brain box", every year-&-a-half years, all is right with the world.
I love the irony of you believing that you have to have *the* best subject for every Substack WHEN YOU ALREADY DO! Like all your writing, this made me laugh out loud. And OMG: the garage fridge. I have coveted one since forever and yes, I will absolutely 100 percent believe that I made it in life if/when we get one. (A big "if," since David does not share our belief that a garage fridge = pinnacle of adulthood.)
Thank you Irena. I was just about to decide to quit writing forever. You are my emotional writing support animal. So thank you and I am sorry to put that burden on you, but here we are. And the garage fridge is truly the pinnacle of adulthood. All you need is a simple one. In fact the more old-school, the better.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't stop writing forever. I will happily be your emotional writing support animal (can that be a job? I feel like it should be). In exchange, can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to our house and tell David a simple garage fridge is the pinnacle of adulthood and maybe even a fantastic if unconventional Valentine's Day present for a beloved partner?
Shirley! You will have to tell me how you named her! I have names for the two we have here but I won’t share what they are 🤣. I hope I gave you the brownie smelling one and no powder fresh. Ick. I prefer unscented! Thank you for the entertaining, yet informative, read! Oh and don’t forget the pushing the garage door opener constantly even though you know the power is out!! lol!

lol! They are some candles. I have the same fireplace insert/remote. So we will always heat at least.

*clarification: don't stop writing forever or, like, at all.
I seriously don't know what I'd do without you.
Never thought the Toto bidet won’t flush with the power out (unless there is back-up power).
Oh I'm sure it will. I was just trying to point out how keeping it simple can be beneficial. And of course trying to be a little bit funny.
Love it. Totally can see me turning light switches on for days too. And I need a Shirley. Just bought a fire box for our important docs...
Thank you Julie!!

I have no idea how I came up with Shirley! You gave me one powder fresh and one brownie.
Such important lessons! I read it to my whole family as we are expecting rain/storms again. The boys loved the life lesson about the crapper!
Thank you Shaunna!!!!!!
