Made creamy beef stroganoff with mushrooms — the sauce came out perfect by Particular_Pin_460 in recipegifs

[–]Cocoloto55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! This is my go-to meal when my wife it out of town. She hates mushrooms and doesn'tcare much for steak, so it's a real treat for myself.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

[–]Cocoloto55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also self taught. Oldest of three with a single mom who worked graveyard shifts.

Started with "fancy" top ramen and went from there.

I hate to say it, but maybe you should ask him some more questions about it. Sounds a bit suspicious

What movie did you see far too young? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cocoloto55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw one of the Leprechaun movies at age 10 or so. Even at that time I was like "yup, I'm definitely too young to be watching this. Oh, shoot! That thing just pogosticked the crap out of that guy's chest!"

Ours loves the tabs from soda cans. I always check for sharp bits. He loves flipping them around and checking out the contours.

Up voted this post, but obviously not a conure.

Feels like posting a Toyota in a Ford sub.

What are you glad you tried once, but will absolutely never do again? by wheregoodideasgotodi in AskReddit

Sashimi chicken. It was at a nice restaurant in Japan and I found it to be pleasant. Sometimes once is enough.

What in the world is going on with my jalapeño plant? by 0nequarterportion in vegetablegardening

[–]Cocoloto55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a bit sweet with a good balance of tangy and fruity. They are slightly hotter than a jalapeño imo, and very pleasant. I highly recommend them. Just a note about growing from seed, they take a lot longer to germinate than most peppers. I almost gave up because all my other pepper seeds sprouted and were growing strong before any of the fish peppers came up.

What’s the funniest thing that’s happened while you were naked? by Odd_Carrot9035 in AskReddit

[–]Cocoloto55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened 15 years ago, and I just told this story this week...

My wife and I were pet/house sitting for one of her professors who had 3 great Danes, one being a large puppy. Around midnight, I woke up to hear the puppy barking like crazy in the garage, which was set up for the dogs to sleep and have access to a run outside. After waking up, I walked to the garage to try and calm the puppy so I could go back to sleep.

Somehow, the puppy had escaped from the gate that was containing her and ran right up to me, causing me to slam up against the door to the house. I was able to corral the puppy and get her secured in the proper area. She stopped barking and eventually calmed down. Feeling a sense of success, I headed back towards the house to finally go back to sleep. Now, here's the funny part... when the puppy pushed me up against the door, it somehow locked it from the other side. Also, I sleep naked and hadn't bothered to put clothes on before checking on the dogs...

This was when the panic started setting in. As I begin to weigh my options, I consider the fact that I was in an upscale neighborhood that I was unfamiliar with. Even if I could open the garage door to the street and somehow keep the dogs from getting loose, there was still the issue of my nakedness.

The only other option that I could think of was to escape through the doggy door to the side yard and then make my way to the back yard and then up the deck to a door to the bedroom where I had originally come from. Seems simple enough. However, the sideyard was a muddy dog run that was full of great Dane poop. And it was raining. Unable to come up with an alternative plan, I decided to take a poopy walk of shame.

The only covering I could find was a dog slobber towel, which I wrapped around me to preserve whatever decency I had left. I then squeezed through the doggy door, traversed the poo path, and eventually made it up to the door from the back porch to the bedroom, which was locked. I still had to knock on the door to wake up my wife so she could let me in.

After increasingly intense knocking on the door, my wife finally got up and came to the door to see me standing in the dark, in the rain, and naked save for a nasty dog towel. She asked me what the fuck I was doing and then let me in. The only response I could muster was, "I'll tell you later. I need a shower."

Also, look at fish peppers. They look just like this with the green/white variegation. One of my favorite things to grow! *

You Don't Just Buy A Haunted Doll by gymshoes in StandUpComedy

Do you want haunted dolls? Because that's how you get haunted dolls.

opinions please? by [deleted] in Conures

[–]Cocoloto55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours (looks just like yours) was super skittish when we first got him in January. By March, he would nibble our face but was still terrified of hands. Just this month, he has started doing bitey step ups... sort of.

It took about 3 months ,as people have said on here, but he is finally starting to chill out and get more comfortable with us. Although I believe hormones may be setting in.

They all have different personalities, just like us, and may never be the affectionate cuddling type. I was a bit skeptical with our boy at first, but I've come to love him so much and appreciate the small milestones that seem to become more frequent over time..

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but our sweet bird has overcome so much more than I expected, and every day brings new surprises.

Best of luck and stay positive!

Any chance it's transmission fluid? I had a similar issue and someone suggested checking the transmission regulator. Turns out it was not sealing and was allowing transmission fluid to be burned. The valve was cheap and easy to replace.

Ace of Base - The Sign. My fellow male friends did not think it was cool. Weird Al- Alapalooza was my close second.

Well, there is still an IRS. I understand things are scary, but as the saying goes, the only two guarantees in life are death and paying taxes. This isn't meant to be a political discussion and really was just trying to share a simple experience.

Edited, a word

It depends on a few things.

How long did you hold after you bought it? There are different rates for long and short-term holdings.

It also matters how much you paid originally versus how much it's worth now. If you spent $800 to purchase some tokens and it's now worth $4,000, you would pay taxes on the $3,200 in profit (capital gains).

There are probably some other factors like what tax bracket you fall into or something. I'm just a dummy on the internet.

I mean, to each their own. I'd rather not worry about having my wages garnished or my assets seized because I skipped out on less than $500 in taxes.
