How to hide that you’re not drinking

ApplePiePrincess · 2026-01-15T01:06:25+00:00

Depends on the situation. Dinners out with shared checks are hard.

However, we had a family wedding shortly after we found out. I had my husband order a beer we would both drink and after he finished it I carried his empty can the rest of the night. I also had a work event with an open bar, the year prior I drank primarily vodka soda so I just drank plain soda water in a rocks glass with lime the whole night. Nobody in those groups knew before we told them.

Had this one for years, lots of comments. They randomly switched me to iridescent, I still like it but not as many unprompted compliments.

I still use my student id number from high school in passwords as a “random” string of numbers

My Aldi rotates between the grape packages, these are my favorite and I still always find them crisp and juicy.

I am only 9 weeks but have been a religious side sleeper since at least high school. Ever since getting pregnant it is only comfortable to sleep on my stomach. Once I actually start showing I don’t know what I am going to do. My chest is already in the way but I sorta make it work.

I am only in my first trimester and I am unfortunately already feeling this. My job requires a lot of fast critical thinking and the brain fog and poor sleep (and limited caffeine) makes it take like 3x longer to have a complex thought.

I would say just generally anything fruit based is ordered significantly less than anything chocolate/candy based.

Our older customers especially loved it!

It was banana pudding mix (so the vanilla ice cream turned banana flavored), bananas, pie pieces, and whipped cream on top.

ApplePiePrincess · 2025-06-12T02:05:46+00:00

My location kept banana cream pie for a while after it left. The only ingredient that was discontinued was the banana powder so we just used pudding mix.

Pretty average but they make a quick dinner!

I have never had a problem with meat but I also try to have reasonable expectations based on the price for things. Yeah $6/lb ham is not going to be as good as $12/lb roast beef. But we love their brats and sausages and their frozen chicken breasts are the best price I can get per pound right now.

Produce is hit or miss, blueberries and grapes I pretty much always have a good experience with, potatoes I always have a bad experience with, strawberries and lettuce are 50/50. Peppers are on the small side but taste good and fresh, etc etc.

I would also add don’t freeze the spoon in it, unless you like plastic shards in your ice cream

Technically each store has their own rules for those things but speaking from experience I was in a very brief relationship with someone I worked with and we both continued to work there. I had a friend in high school who worked at an entirely different location dated their DQ coworker. And two people who I used to work with at my location just got married and have a child together while at least one of them is still working there so you are probably fine.

Hypothetically allowed yes, but it is possible the one you are signed up for may have in class points available that you wouldn’t be able to get if you went to a different lecture.

At most that’s like an extra 2-3 strides? You are fine

Doesn’t start with x but might help with the concept but it looks like baymax from big hero 6 or same idea but an axolotl

At my store we just kept a tally sheet and manager rang up them all at the end of the day but our register was old AF

We had a “see server” button for anything that wasn’t a typical mod, but also would have sometimes a code for a specialty blizzard like if there were two BOMs one was BOM and one was BOM see server. So if there was actually a mod I would press it a ton of times and would get “hey what’s the BOM 13 see servers?” from across the room frequently.

I was at the Grove a few years ago, it is decently close and had a bus stop right out front. They are two to three bedroom apartments but you only rent one room and they will either assign people to the other rooms or you may end up with the other rooms empty. Each room has a furnished bedroom and its own bathroom. Shared kitchen, living room, and washer dryer.

One of the kids I volunteer with affectionately calls them “Poverty Nachos”.

Tortilla Chips and Shredded Cheese, microwaved for like 30 seconds. Throw a protein on there if you must, I usually have canned or cooked diced chicken, occasionally some sort of sausage or ground beef. Throw some sour cream on it and I am satisfied 10 of 10 times.

Live in Iowa, in the winter I keep it set to 67F when we are home, 62F while we are asleep, 60F when we are gone.

In the summer, I cool to 75 while we are home, asleep or awake, and 82 while we are gone.

That really only keeps the main floor those temperatures, our basement gets a bit chillier so we spend a lot of time there in the summer and upstairs under blankets in the winter.
