Usually damp, dark corners or whatever place I can manage to scuttle to in order to avoid the harsh judgmental eyes of the general public as I flick my tongue and lick my lips while racing through pages of Lolita as my pants tighten and my eyes widen but ultimately resisting the urge to release the culminating pressure without the cover of nightfall to conceal my morally misguided actions.

I have one wooden spoon/spatula which I use for everything from curry to eggs to porridge to soup. It works fine and never crosses flavors. I use it and wooden cutting boards with raw meat. Never gotten sick, no scent to them, nothing negative at all. Wood is all around nicer and more durable than plastic.

Do people really sleep on a mattress without a bed stand or is it just a trendy decor thing?

[Anonymous No.5994137]

>>5992724
Bed frames literally only add height to a mattress' position off the ground. They have no other function.

There's no inherent need to have one unless you dislike moving your body more when getting in or out of bed.

I'd argue that bed frames are the furniture pieces that are "just trendy decor things."

mmmm my parents built a huge deck in the backyard last summer with this large outdoor couch with waterproof pillows and an umbrella. It was so comfy to read on there, just stretch out in the sun and nap and read. We had this other outside nook on this sort of balcony that was pretty great too - got a lot of sunlight. I probably read 60 or 70 books on this wicker couch over the years.

only problem with reading outside for me other than my country's gay climate is that in the summer my backyard gets fucking infested with wasps and I'm terribly afraid of wasps. yellowjackets, fucking woodwasps with massive gross ovipositors, yellowjackets with longer than usual legs, small black wasps, and my least favourite wasp, the bald faced hornet fuck those little shits. Got stung like two summers in a row I should get government compensation.
