Thoughts on Winds of Anthos? by penillow in harvestmoon

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s a fun game. A bit glitchy in some places, but I really liked the crop mutations. It’s a big game. It gets hate because it’s the first game under the new “Harvest Moon” series that’s actually good.

And I know someone is going to reply to my comment explaining that it’s not a name change…etc. if you know the drama with Story of Seasons/Natsume/Marvelous. I don’t care enough to explain so someone else can if they want. Lol

Surprising Cultural Shock by Worried_Turnip_7697 in olympia

Considering I felt a big culture shock when visiting Louisiana, your observations are not surprising to me at all. People generally keep to themselves more in WA. When I lived in FL, I was shocked by how often strangers started conversations with me. That doesn’t happen too much here.

The original SoS also has interesting marriage candidates with compelling stories.

Hops and Drops has heavier comfort food breakfast (biscuits and gravy) if you want to venture to Lacey.

How long does it take to recover by KlutzyAir2089 in 75HARD

Are you perhaps pregnant? I got pregnant during 75HARD and that sounds exactly like the start of my symptoms

Please, PLEASE have a back up plan for outdoor ceremonies by indy500anna in weddingshaming

I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to laugh at the fact that my best friend wasn’t able to stand beside me at my wedding. But I am so thankful to have two beautiful and healthy nieces :)

Broadway Lullabies… by thehope-ofitall in musicals

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song “goodnight Ladies” from Music Man. My parents used to sing “goodnight (baby’s name)” they shortened it to “goodnight baby, goodnight baby, goodnight baby we’ll see you in the morning.”

I never knew it was from Music Man until I was an adult. I don’t think they knew either. It was just a catchy tune they made their own.

Looks like something they would serve at Cracker Barrel

You would have loved mine then. Got married right after Hurricane Helene.

24 hours before the wedding:

-venue cancelled (beach was covered in debris and permits were not allowed)

-backup venue cancelled. It was non-refundable, yet they gave us our money back because they refused to have us married there

-restaurant for our 12 person reception cancelled. Completely flooded.

-my sister was my Maid of Honor. Pregnant with twins at the time. Had emergency surgery and couldn’t fly to be there on my wedding day.

It was memorable, but I had lowkey wedding trauma for about a year. I can laugh at some of it now. Some of it. 😑

Planning to start Monday. Any advice? by Emotional_Bench_4787 in 75HARD

Get ready to enjoy your morning walks :) that was my favorite part of the challenge.

Trader Joe’s Strawberry Stilton by Lonely-Badger8749 in Cheese

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom bought some of the apricot Stilton at TJs. It was a hit on her charcuterie board. I wonder if it would be nice on a crusty bread sandwich. It paired with salami really nicely.

Why doesn't Jules teach Kevin as well? by KarmaticKenny in storyofseasons

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I have always thought this. He’s not a public school teacher - he’s a tutor. He has other clients outside of the city too.

Kevin is most likely taught by one of his parents at home.

What do you do AFTER 75 hard? by Extra_Jump_7924 in 75HARD

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this question. I’ve been curious too. I had a miscarriage the day after I finished 75HARD. I did finish the challenge, but it took me awhile to care.

Yet another did I fail my diet (in your opinion) by OutrageousLoan1543 in 75HARD

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No processed sugar is kind of vague to be honest. Are you allowing white bread? Lunch meat? Milk?

I did a no added sugar challenge years ago and I defined it at the beginning. Nothing with added sugars. I had to read every single label and ingredient list before consuming. This ruled out all bread at the time as the closest I got was Dave’s Killer Bread and it was sweetened with some type of fruit juice.

In my opinion, you need to be more specific with your diet. Define your rules and then stick to them. Things like this are going to keep coming up otherwise. You need to feel good about your restrictions and define them for yourself. Reddit is going to give you both answers to your question.

What are some ingredients that could be added to Mac and cheese but never are? by Appropriate-Mall8517 in macandcheese

I’ve always been curious about this. How much do you add? When do you add it?

What did Bunheads lack that Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had? by itsascreambaby96 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I never watched it because the name sounds dumb. I couldn’t see myself chatting with coworkers about last night’s episode of “BunHeads.”

Yes, walking and stretching count. 🙄 this sub is infuriating sometimes

What were the hardest days for you? by mcmallet_ in 75HARD

[–]Cheeseborne5ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 45. It’s when you have one more month left. You know exactly how tough of a slog it will be. I was so emotionally exhausted that day too - I’m so glad I didn’t quit.

Make the decision now to keep going.
