My husband is in NJ for a bit. Tonight he went to an Italian restaurant and he said it had a dark vibe. He looked on yelp and it stated that it was "mafia friendly". Apparently that is a searchable category. WTH?

I don’t know why but that struck me as hilarious! Assuming your husband is fine and all.

I asked my 14yo son to take out the garbage.

Me: It’s garbage day today, I need you to take out the garbage from both kitchens and all three bathrooms (we finished off our basement like a rental until, just in case we ever needed extra income, but he uses it - lucky kid, lol)

<hand son new garage bag, son goes down stairs>

5, 10, 15 minutes go by….
I can hear lots of garbage falling on the floor ….

Yea, you guessed it
It took everything in me to not intervene lol

Son: I don’t know how you do that so fast.

Me: What do you mean? <me trying to keep a straight face, failing miserably lol>

Son: Holding the bag open while dumping the garbage in. It went all over the floor and then I had to pick that up!

Me: Ohhh, yea, that sounds hard. You could always try just pulling the bag out, tying it and putting the new one in.
<completely unable to control my facial expression at this point )

Son: (Short pause) ohhhh… yea


We have so much ground to cover in 4 years

I did not know Yelp still existed, but I do know mafia is very much still a thing. :/

Years ago my ex who was connected (so was his sister, a teacher) told me if I didn’t leave Chicago he’d have me you know what’d. I didn’t hesitate to leave after that. I used to giggle about La familia but not after that. They were and are absolutely very serious.
