@AstridBidanec @jtrebach Not doubting your ability, but I wonder if you have a touch of synesthesia? This association between characteristics reminds me of some of the smell-emotion varieties.

@Nemesisgoldhair What is a good non-specific metro area for you? I'm happy to do some research. (No, this is not an excuse to vicariously shop new thrift stores.)

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Nemesisgoldhair For Facebook groups--I look at the more affluent suburbs that are a little closer to Atlanta. My exurb groups tend to have low-to-mid tier brands, so I let the richer neighborhoods pay upscale prices before I do. For antiques, go the other way-farther from metro, lower cost

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Nemesisgoldhair New or pre-loved? Soft or hard? I'm a furniture junkie, and love Habitat for Humanity ReStore, local thrift shops, local antique malls for hard goods or things I can re-cover. For softs, I look at upscale resale or used furniture communities on facebook

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Nemesisgoldhair If you want to go new, look for brand-name outlets (Ashley outlet, to name a local option)

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Nemesisgoldhair You'll never beat the value you get for spending the same dollars--hardwood pieces that have already proven their quality and get kept out of landfills. Way better than pasteboard fast fab stuff.

@Geese_Juggler @Rwenchette I'm Type 2 all day, but will cop to saying suh-prise and comftirbul. Comfortable especially has too many fussy sound combos for a slouchy definition!

@Geese_Juggler I spent like 30 seconds looking for the eggroll in the gif. That's not metaphor, just me before coffee.

@LTsEarrings Okay, this is interesting because I'm the opposite. Teams messages give me context around a conversation and feel "alive". Emails feel like trimmed hair that gets crusted into a corner behind the door.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Nemesisgoldhair It took like 3 tries to realize this was not in some way about me.

@chaosbria @nancipants When he's hiding in the cabinets "thinking" he's invisible, right? But I'm not sure if he knows in that moment or if it was just for us readers.

@nancipants This hit directly in the feels... both the book and the tweet. Gone too soon.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@kestinen @scottwalker88 Genuine thank you--I'm rusty and was resisting looking it up.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@LTsEarrings Have you seen the research into how incredibly powerful self-discipline has to be just to make it through the day with halfway decent decisions? Sounds like yours is doing excellent work!

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@NinersBookClub Honestly, I'd do that without the honey bun.

But, now that I think about it, I suppose it IS important to celebrate one's choices...

So you're right after all. Face punches PLUS honeybun.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Xyl0c41n3 I'm so sorry. We'll be here, sending you strength.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@Geese_Juggler Don't sleep on the terrible 80's PBS version! It's awful, but I love it.

[Ali Robinson @acrobin109]

@LTsEarrings If you're heading up towards Dollywood, maybe the Etowah mounds? I've always wanted to go. I'm in North GA, so let me know if you have questions come up or need someone local!

@jinxeptor Congratulations on making someone feel famous today!
