Many things are, in fact, not going to be okay at all. But on the advice of a wise therapist, the team behind Terrible Thanks For Asking is on a quest to find one okay thing about every day. Each morning, they’ll bring you a short story, essay, or interview about one thing to remind you that it might not all be so bad – even if some things are. Listen here!

Caroline talks to best friend of the pod, Ammie Y’all, about Ammie’s planner journey and influencing status (status: planner influencer). It worked on Caroline, will it work on you? If we could recommend even one thing from this list, it has to be the photo printer. Even if you’re not a planner head.

Hi all! For those of you who aren’t on IG or Facebook, you may not know why you haven’t been seeing new or consistent episodes of Gee Thanks! in awhile! I have been taking a little bit of mental health time for myself, which means that sometimes there are eps, and sometimes there aren’t. I know, I know, as a listener this can be annoying. I appreciate that you’re here now, because we’re back with new episodes, starting with this one!

MARCH 2023:Hi all! For those of you who aren’t on IG or Facebook, you may not know why you haven’t been seeing new or consistent episodes of Gee Thanks! in awhile! What I shared on social: I have been taking a little bit of mental health time for myself, which means that sometimes there are new eps, and sometimes there aren’t. I know, I know, as a listener this can be annoying. I appreciate you sticking around; this won’t be forever.In the meantime, I decided to choose a few of my favorite episodes of yore to share back to the feed. I asked the IG followers to share their fav eps that represent the true ethos of Gee Thanks! It was fun to see how many different answers there were (we’ve done ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE EPISODES!!) but it was also hilarious to see so many of the same episodes be requested again and again.Ep 148: Trapper? She's a Keeper! is one such oft-requested episode and it’s not from that long ago! Sally and I recorded this about back-to-school vibes. As we transition (HOPEFULLY) from winter to spring, I like to think there’s a nice back-to-school vibe about that, too.ENJOY, and know that I miss you and I look forward to lighting up the podwaves again soon._______AUGUST 2022:Back to school season is here and we think it’s kind of unfair that as 30 and 40-somethings who are not, in fact, going back to school, we don’t get to participate. So we spent a bunch of time trying to convince ourselves that purchasing a vintage Trapper Keeper is actually a productive purchase. Points are made. Trapper Keepers are purchased. But not the ones that are on sale for $200+ (WTF???).Trapper Keeper (normal price): https://rstyle.me/+3GoVH80EA6F3-HKUvdNjqg Trapper Keeper (Lisa Frank, expensive): https://rstyle.me/+zpfjqq7f8OOpCF8Ew9foJA Label Maker: https://amzn.to/3BZVawp (50% off!)Cool Label Maker That Syncs With Your Phone?: https://amzn.to/3dtkj8x GO SHOPPING WITH US!Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: www.geethanks.substack.com Shop our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson! Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/geethanks Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpod and shop all of our recs here: www.geethanksjustboughtit.com Hosted on Acast.

Do Sally and I know the difference between LED bulbs and not LED bulbs? No. Do Sally and I know what a lightbulb is and how it works? Honesty unclear. Do Sally and I still have fun talking about things even if we know nothing? Obviously. This is the cozification of our homes using lamps (with bulbs), and TJ Maxx lighting (because Sally is stubborn. We’re also talking about the best blankets we own and my surprising new obsession with my Ruggable (not #spon!) rugs.Plus, SALLY CAMEO in a TIKTOK!Products Mentioned:Hue LightbulbsBattery-Powered Lamp Everyone’s Always Asking Me To ID In PicsMotion Activated Rechargeable LightsFleece Throw (On SUPER SALE)Unhide PillowsRuggableGO SHOPPING WITH US!Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: www.geethanks.substack.com Want to support Gee Thanks! by using our links?

Another episode, another Empty Award: The Merit Clean Lash Mascara! Sally, who has never worn mascara, admits she knows something about clumping (that we don’t want it), and I go deep on my new kitchen gadget: A GRIDDLE!We also discuss a BIGS Sunflower Seeds x Vlasic Kosher Dill Collab, and Sally’s favorite way to spend time on the internet.SALLY’S GAME (like Sophie’s Choice): The objective of the game is to find the most gonzo thing for sale in a given category. Play along in the Gee Thanks! Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/geethanks/posts/902681490966164/ First choose a category: home decor, fan apparel, outdoor decoration, pet furniture, etc.Then decide on any other limiting factors you’d like, such as price point, must be handmade, etc. Send the gonzo thing you found to a friend and challenge them to one up you with an even more gonzo thing. A variation on this game is to send four items and tell them they must choose which one to use/display in their home and why.  Products Mentioned:Clean Lash Tubing Mascara: https://howl.me/ci0AZS2OV4C Oster ~*Diamond*~ Griddle: https://howl.me/ci3y73k1lZ0 Sunflower Seeds: https://www.bigs.com/sunflower-seedsGO SHOPPING WITH US!Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: www.geethanks.substack.com Want to support Gee Thanks! by using our links?

Here’s the last of our holiday episodes, including the best Ikea find I’ve found in quite some time. Beware: the find is not super size inclusive in the arms. Hoping Ikea wants to make more and makes them bigger when they do.Because of an asthmatic cat (seriously), and my holiday travel, we have not yet recorded our “roast our 2022 purchases” episode with Dan and Sally’s partner Andrea. Don’t worry…it’s coming this month.
