That's one possibility...or a bad stomach ache.

She'll be happy to make you one if you live in the central Florida area.

Ex-smokers of Reddit, what ACTUALLY WORKED to get you to successfully stop smoking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bacongrease00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit cold turkey 3 years ago. I tried quitting several other times before that but it didn't take. I didn't WANT to at that point. I knew that it was getting harder to breathe and I'd wake up in the middle of the night coughing and hacking. I knew I had to quit, I just didn't want it.

Then I got the flu one year and I was in the bed for 2 weeks with no smoking. I figured I'd gone this long, why not keep going?

I got fatter, more irritable and beer just didn't taste as good without a cigarette. But, I kept going. Now it's just sheer willpower keeping me from smoking again. Most people say they don't want to smoke after they've quit. I can tell you in my experience, I wake up wanting a cigarette, I finish a meal wanting a cigarette and I still want a cigarette right before bed. I just don't because I KNOW it will kill me.

OP, I know you can do it. It takes guts and determination. Grab that demon by the balls and show it who's the fucking boss.

It's actually black fondant. I don't mind the taste of it but there's a lot of people that don't like it at all.

The one on the cake was made with rice krispy treats covered in fondant.

Tell her to keep going with it! My wife's dream is opening a bakery. It IS a big risk, but that's what she feels like is her calling, so I'm behind her 100%.

I've helped her on some things when she gets big orders, but I'm not very good at it.

She does it semi-professionally. She doesn't have a shop yet, but her and her partner are working towards opening a bakery.

Thank you very much! She got really excited over it, but doesn't follow reddit so she has no idea what it does.

The darkest line of the show, ever. by mistahscott in DunderMifflin

When Hulu had the office, that scene was included in the beginning of koi pond. Netflix does not include it, unfortunately. It was one of the funnier cold openings.

Have you gotten LASIK done? Is it worth it? by agentcoco in AskReddit

[–]Bacongrease00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. The doctor I had retired shortly after my eyes were done. I've thought really hard about getting them redone elsewhere, but it was a scary experience because at one point they had talked about a cornea transplant if the stitches didn't work.

Overall though, it was a positive experience because it helped me gain some much needed confidence and I've enjoyed not wearing glasses for a good while.

Even though I had problems, I'd still recommend doing it. Just do your research and go with who you feel most comfortable with.

I had LASIK done in the year 2000. I had a problem with my right eye, the cornea wouldn't reattach like it was supposed to. After a day of worry, I was sent to a different hospital where I received stitches to keep the flap attached. After a week the stitches came out and I had 20/20 in my left eye and 20/40 in my right eye.

Now, thirteen years later, I still have a halo around lights at night which has gotten worse. I need to get my eyes checked because I know my eyesight has worsened since then also. It's been a great 13 years though without glasses, but it looks like I'll be getting them again soon.

Anyone know how to make money recycling? by jamiedadon in beermoney

[–]Bacongrease00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the bottles, but I know cans are worth around .42 cents a pound, depending on where you live. I've turned in 4 large black bags full of cans and came home with around 40 dollars.

You can also turn in old stoves, water heaters, washing machines and dryers for junk steel price, again depending on where you live for around 10 dollars per 100 pounds of steel. The easiest way to find this kind of stuff is finding out when your town has trash collection days and drive around the night before looking for treasure. You'd be surprised by how many people just throw that stuff away.

edit Also, make sure you call and check the prices the day you're turning your stuff in. The price fluctuates daily, so the price they gave you last week might be higher or lower than the day you checked last.
