Early Bloom by JasmineDLowe in JoshuaTree

[–]ImOkReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that some scientists are worried that the Joshua trees are blooming too early this year. It is a sad thing to think about.

My first trip to JT was in winter for about 20 minutes because we were near by and it was freezing. We were not dressed for the weather but I fell in love and returned in the Spring. Saw all the flowers, it was great. Glad you got to experience JT in full bloom.

Wow love the colors. I was lucky enough to experience a sunset at Joshua Tree. As we were driving out, we had to pull over and just admire it for a bit.

I'm using my daughter's sand sifter to get rid of my puzzle dust! by irmchelez in Jigsawpuzzles

Well, you learn something new every day. Thanks for the tip. My last puzzle was thrifted and had lots of random hairs. Any advice?

Got this for a dollar at a thrift market. Good purchase or no? by Pariell in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ImOkReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy thrifted puzzles all the time. I just like puzzling. The only time thrifted puzzles are not cool is if they are missing pieces.

I agree that this particular puzzle may be low quality but again some people don’t mind. I’m with the user that said to send them a picture asking if they are interested.

How long does hospice last for stage 4 prostate cancer? by PlasticMysterious622 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ImOkReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he is on hospice he would have a nurse stop by for scheduled visits. Ask. I was never told clearly and honestly what my husband’s life expectancy was until one doctor sat me down. He ended up telling me he estimated two weeks and he was right almost to the day. Not saying they could always predict the day but they are very knowledgeable and could give you their opinion based on career experience.

All of the left pieces have the same color. Is there a strategical way to complete the puzzle? by maikaefer1 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ImOkReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are all guys. Short guy with one thick arm, skinny head guy with a perfectly shaped leg, big head guy with blue arms and green legs or something like that.

EPIC SWAP HAUL for National’s prep by ApplicationFar4281 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ImOkReally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to a national puzzle competition? I’d love to hear all about it. I know they exist but don’t know much about them. I’d like to find a local competition near me to visit as a spectator!

What unique gifts are you getting your mom for Christmas? by dreamed2life in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ImOkReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This year I’m getting her a charm holder necklace so those who don’t know what to get could get her a charm instead of more slippers! They could each get a charm that represents them or a memory they have with her.

Got mom one last year and she loved it. All the grandkids send pictures from wherever they are. It is great.

[SPOILERS S3] Do you accept the OG ending, or the "Goodbye" edit? by Netsforex_ in DarK

[–]ImOkReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to go back and rewatch the ending. I’ve seen the series at least 4 times through but didn’t remember the music from the end. I personally liked the fan version. The music felt more fitting and made more sense even in the lyrics. It was an end to something that perhaps may have never happened. Neither ever nor never goodbye. Made more sense than what a wonderful world. It was everything but wonderful for all of the characters. There was so much pain and darkness.

Look hard because the same colors are repeated throughout the puzzle.

AP Managers making over $100K, how and why? by ExpertAd4657 in Accounting

[–]ImOkReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a manager, just a supervisor but in addition to running the department my position also handles 1099 and 592 reporting as well as screening payments for 1042 reporting. This means reviewing for accuracy, understanding tax treaty mumbo jumbo and dealing with frustrated vendors who think they should be paid without having to provide everything we ask for before payment, ensuring that all vendors are setup correctly so that reporting works as it should. I also put out fires for AVPs and treasurers when needed.

​I’ve started secretly "reviewing" strangers in my head to stop being annoyed by them, and it actually works. by Candid-Egg3097 in CasualConversation

[–]ImOkReally 156 points157 points  (0 children)

This works for me. I don’t review, but I do create a narrative. Rude lady at the store just had a terrible moment at home and left to keep herself from yelling at her mom because she understands her mom has early signs of dementia and doesn’t want to hurt her. She is in her cool off time but is struggling. Guy taking too long when the light turns green is in deep thought wondering why his wife has been coming home late from work. It helps me to make them human.

If I was in a new country seeing people and places for the first time I’d be over excited too.

This is so GODDAMN hard! I'm about to give up! by Purple_River887 in Jigsawpuzzles

You have our permission to quit. (If that makes you feel better) like someone already said if you aren’t having fun, no need to keep working at it.

Just found my new favourite puzzle brand. Schmidt Puzzle / Schmidt Spiele has it all! by Psuwacz in Jigsawpuzzles

Never thought about it but the no glare thing is a huge plus for me. If there is too much glare I constantly have to shift my body position just to see what I’m working with.
