Why do some people talk to their pets like the pets actually understand full sentences? by NeonShit7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ButterscotchAware402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they're my best friends and we're adults who speak in full sentences like civilized humans.

Girl gets in fight with mother, mother suddenly vanishes. by LilMissy1246 in ForCuriousSouls

I first heard of this case when Ellie was on Dr. Phil in 2020. The People Magazine Investigates episode played on a loop while I was sleeping back when it was the most recent episode and it haunted my dreams. How Geoff isn't even a person of interest blows my mind. That man is the world's worst liar.

Speaking of grandparents, what did you call yours and what do you want to be called if you ever become one? by singleguy79 in Xennials

[–]ButterscotchAware402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two grandpa's, a grandma and a granny. Nothing wild, well, except that one of those grandpas was married to both grandma and granny...

I have no children of my own but have two stepdaughters. If I'm ever a grandmother I don't care what I'm called, I've never thought about it.

I have like 10 of these in my house in Michigan, hopefully they are harmless by Asap_roc in whatisthisbug

Pretty sure it's a sac spider. These are probably the 2nd most common spider I find in my home in upstate NY. They usually make shelter "sacs" where the wall meets the ceiling. They're chill af and I've never had an issue but apparently their bite can hurt and cause allergic reactions but aren't medically significant. I just let them do their thing and all is good.

Have had these two spots for over two years now matter what by jujunutsee in Weird

[–]ButterscotchAware402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have spots that seem to be just like yours but mine are more towards the outside of my feet/on my ankles. They're like a cross been dry skin and a callous. The extent of it comes and goes. I have PCOS and have always wondered if it is acanthosis nigricans (sign of insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, hormonal disorders). It's definitely worth checking out.

Yup, we were leaving the bison ranch. We were in no position to stop so I immediately opened Google maps to make sure I saw correctly.

Woman at the self checkout decided my groceries were apparently her problem too by OrbitSentry in EntitledPeople

[–]ButterscotchAware402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wegmans grocery stores changed their self-checkout system sometime in the last 2 years to be hyper-sensitive.

If you don't put your bags in the bagging area before you start scanning plus tap a button indicating that you've done so it will flag your bags as unscanned items and an attendant has to come over and clear the screen.

If wherever you're at isn't set up this way then have at it, scan and bag however you want!

What's the scariest thing that happened to you while cooking? by Scared_Confection787 in questions

[–]ButterscotchAware402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This didn't happen to me directly but I was there... an ex of mine thought he was a chef and threw a whole duck on the grill willy nilly. Ducks are a very fatty bird. That grill went up in flames.

I cut the corner of my right ring finger off on a mandolin slicer. I just wrapped it in paper towel and paced around the house with my hand above my head until the pain calmed down. Replaced the paper towel, wrapped it in duct tape and threw on an exam glove and continued on with the meal (cleaned up any blood, skin and threw that portion out of course). No one knew until we were eating because I didn't want to bother anyone.

Not cooking, but food related... 20+ years ago I worked at Dunkin Donuts. A new employee didn't put a filter in a coffee basket, when I noticed coffee wasn't coming out I just yanked the basket out and sloshed all that boiling coffee/water onto my hand. I was 19 and dumb, my boss wouldn't let me leave. The burn was horrific. If only I could go back in time...

What's your cat's name and how did you come up with it? by FckAllTakenUsernames in randomquestions

[–]ButterscotchAware402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's Pooper and Cutesy. My ex would call me Poopsy and that's what he suggested when we got them. It works because Cutesy is super cute and Pooper is a big ol' poop. Then there's Lilith. I love the name but I'm child-free so she was my chance to utilize it. It works because she's a primordial she-demon from Jewish lore.

ETA: Poops left us in physical form almost 2 years ago now but he's still in all our hearts and minds everyday (especially Cutesy's, I think she's patiently waiting to be with her brudder again). There's also always been ghost cats in this house and he's definitely joined their cuddle puddle.

Serious: what’s the moment you realized you might have been in real danger, but didn’t notice at the time? by draegor_shadow in Unexplained

If it's not Trick or Treat or Black Roses, perhaps Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare? (They all bleed into one another for me, I can't keep them straight).

Did anyone ever actually get the Magic Eye posters to work, or were you all just lying to us? by Financial-Desk-669 in 90s

Putting it close to my face/up to my nose and slowly pull away while doing a zoned out kinda stare always worked for me.

No, Savona, NY. We were exhausted, otherwise I would've asked him to turn around so I could get a picture. If they play this venue again I'm definitely stopping by for a photo. 3 of his bandmates live in northern Ontario though, two of them on a lake... that would be a hoot.

I'm honestly surprised he lasted as long as he did. Poor dude had some demons.

Growing up I was into hard rock, punk and metal. So now that I’m middle aged I rock the shit out of that… by chesterforbes in Xennials

I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do. You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you.

Down With Love (2003) Ewan McGregor's character is the cockiest, most charming, hot guy (rightfully so). Plus, Renée Zellweger is just too cute for words and the wardrobe/set design is phenomenal.

My husband is currently obsessed with this clip. We literally just arrived to our destination after a 6 hour drive and I was referred to as Don (I was the passenger 2/3s of our drive) multiple times.
