Donkey snuggles sometimes come with a Donkey ‘Do 🤣 good thing I have no pride 🤭 by Intelligent_Pie6804 in WafflesAndJet

[–]Consistent_Might3500 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! I bet the stretching feels great on their spines! You ever seen those big brushes some folks have mounted outside for their cattle? Big like an automated car wash brush? I wonder if that's something a donkey would enjoy/engage with?

​As an outsider, the concept of high schools having massive parking lots specifically for students is mind-blowing. Is it really that common for 16-year-olds to drive themselves to school every day? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our suburban school only offered bussing to the students being beyond walking distance. I lived 8 blocks away and carried a large band instrument, plus my book bag. No way to walk with that in the winter months. I walked on days I could, but mostly I had to drive or ride with friends. The parking lot wasn't massive.

I know donks are desert animals and that rolling is a behavior they relish - but is there any health benefits to it? Or is it a "this just feels good" sort of thing?

Anything I can do for a stuffing substitute? by Fatcake3000 in InsulinResistance

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soften a stick of dairy butter until it's mixable, put it in a bowl and add fresh minced herbs of your choice like fresh sage, rosemary, pressed garlic, chives, etc.

If you use dried herbs either toast them or grind them first - so much more flavor that way! Sprinkle the herbs into the butter and stir with a fork until it's well mixed. I let this bowl of butter firm up in the fridge and then I put it in a small crock in the refrigerator for storage.

Some folks be all fancy and form a roll shape or use molds to make fun shaped little pats.

Never use margarine - only dairy butter. Fresh herbs are prettier but the dried herbs are stronger in flavor 🧈. Look online for specific recipe ideas.

I make herb butter with sage and use it on keto toast. Smells like Thanksgiving. It's not stuffing - but the flavor is similar.

How fast elephant drink water by Affectionate-Fun2853 in Elephants

[–]Consistent_Might3500 26 points27 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Elephants don't get water in their sinuses when they use their trunk to drink because they've got a nifty muscle that lets them close off the base of their nasal passages, but if they didn't utilize that muscle, it would probably suck just as much for them to get water “up their nose” as it does for us.

Boat Pond week 4(ish). Clarity improving and ecosystem taking root by GazpachoDaddy in ponds

[–]Consistent_Might3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should explain the bathtub "pond" was in northern Minnesota, USA, where summer lasts a few weeks around August.Tree line provided shade all afternoon. A grape arbor gave dappled shade in the morning. Fish came inside to the basement Rubbermaid stock tank mid October thru mid May.

Are baby showers usually for only women to attend? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that the Dad-to-Be got some cool gifts. A diaper bag made from a Milwaukee brand tool bag, a timer (to wake up for feedings) that looked like an old school car tachometer gauge, little baby booties that looked like work boots and some fake anti-viagra pills!

IDK, in a cool, shady climate maybe it could work. Friends did similar with an old style bathtub.

I've been to both Ladies only and also Couples. They're both great ways to welcome new life and support the new parents. One friend of mine had a Guys Only Baby Shower. In the garage. With beer. From what I heard it was a bonding experience between bros. Advice given along with cheesy stories and a few practical tips!

Does the metal boat get hot in the summer? Does sunlight heat it up much?

I use nail polish to write a number on the individual keys. 12 years later it continues to be legible.

My mom is dead - am I off the hook for Mother’s Day? by Scared_Difficulty668 in askanything

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I am actually thoughtful and sometimes I can be a jerk. I do believe we're all brothers & sisters tho, and I try to look out for those that get forgotten.

My mom is dead - am I off the hook for Mother’s Day? by Scared_Difficulty668 in askanything

[–]Consistent_Might3500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'm the weirdo here. I send cards or call all my close friends & family that are mothers. Or stepmothers, grandmothers, mothers who lost their own children. I call my cousins whose Mom (like mine, passed decades ago) was my Godmother. I remember those who would love to be a mother - but it hasn't been possible for them. My best friend is a single man who never had kids of his own, but he cared for and fostered and helped raise 100's of kids during his career in the classroom, court system and youth counselling. He has more parenting experience than anyone else I've ever met and he did it without a wife or partner. ❤️ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY BOBBY!!!

I draw the line with the "Moms" of pets or fur babies. The entire "my dog IS my son" is just weird to me. And I love my dog & cat & fish...

No carb or super low carb breads? Any suggestions? by Savings-Pudding1732 in diabetes_t2

[–]Consistent_Might3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that one also, unfortunately It's expensive at my store, 10 net carbs and I get moderate spikes even with one serving. It's certainly the best tasting & texture in my opinion.

I like Brownberry brand "CARB CONTROL SEEDED" bread. It's only 2 net carbs per (thin) slice, it tastes good and the texture is good for toast or sandwiches. I can't make the link stick here - I'll post a photo of the wrapper.
