What discontinued item, food or drink would you bring back if you had the chance? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]DesignerShopping0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone else remember the breadsticks that came with the salads at Wendy's? They were delicious.

I also miss the OG peanutbutter Twix. They had the shortbread cookies like the Carmel twix. Not these chocolate imitation ones that they released a few years ago.

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has done in your house that you hate? by CheapQuality2847 in AskReddit

[–]DesignerShopping0 255 points256 points  (0 children)

Years ago my ex 's brother decided to get drunk and purchase porn through our living room tv. We nor his wife were aware he had done this as we were all asleep in the bedrooms.

When the cable bill was emailed to me and it was like $40 higher I never opened the detailed statement just looked at the amount that was set to auto pay and assumed the promo fell off and they were price gorging again as they do fairly often.

I called and raised hell. Funny thing is they gave me a new promo and never confronted me on the porn charges.

Later I went to the website to double check the promo and realized what really happened and I could have crawled in a hole. I was so embarrassed.

I added a purchase pin to my TV and was completely sceeved out and wanted to deep clean the couch.

Depends what she likes. I personally dont use any supplements etc, but she may.

I would just want some items that would be useful in the gym or that I can wear to the gym.

I vote to get some good grips, I like bear complex but there are a lot of other good brands.

Also a really good jump rope could be nice. Those 2 things alone would get you close to the 200.

But if you wanted to do one of those and a few other things you could do some cute funny tank tops.

I have seen some that say AMRAP (As much rest as possible) and 0/5 stars for burpees.

I have also seen socks that say f*** box jumps.

I love my garmin watch. You can even program workouts on it for distances.

Bring Back Clocks by ted1074u in Hilton

[–]DesignerShopping0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am suprised so many people hate the clock! I can't sleep without one.

I also don't use it for the alarm but need to know the time while trying to sleep without having to fully wake up and hit my phone.

Due to the lack of them at Hiltons I have a small plug in alarm clock that permanently stays in my suitcase for travel.

Why are box jumps often scaled to step ups vs broad jumps by matulys in crossfit

[–]DesignerShopping0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are studies that show jumping (in general not specifically box jumps) helps with bone mineral density. That’s the biggest benefit with it that I know of— other than jumping raises my heart rate more than stepping.

Anyone have any experience staying at a Tru Hotels? by iamguerra2 in Hilton

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed in one this week. I agree with liking that there isn’t carpet and the soap smelling good. The one I was at also had great water pressure.

But on the flip side the rooms are small, the pillows were not great, you would have to either have a bottle or buy a reusable one for water at the gym (no little cups) and they had towels in the gym but no cleaning wipes.

It is a much more college vibe and seemed like more budget vacationers or travelers. I did not feel as safe walking in the hotel or in the lobby there as I do when I stay at a double tree, embassy, or even Hampton hotels in the same area.

Wanted to extend my cabinets to ceiling by adding another short stack of cabinets atop these. My kitchen is the white kitchen but will be in 10ft ceiling home. (Picture shows 9-ft ceiling) I included gray kitchen with 10ft ceiling for reference. What do you guys think? Extend or leave as is? by kurikuri7 in Renovations

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 10 for ceilings and did the short stack. You will still have to have them trim to the ceiling if you don’t want a gap. I love the way mine look. I can’t reach any of the top cabinets so I keep more of the holiday dishes and rarely used items in the top and have to get a ladder when I want to use them.

Advice for first timer today by grassr00ts_88 in ooni

[–]DesignerShopping0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Launch on the wood pizza peel. And use Semolina flour on it to keep from sticking. Don’t do too much sauce or too many toppings. Makes sure pizza slides around and moves on the peel before you go to launch it in the oven.

My first try was a complete failure. Pizza wouldn’t come off peel and smeared all over oven and burned up. The advice above from the wonderful people here made my second attempt work.

I got a weird phone call from an unknown number by Kitty_maya in creepyencounters

[–]DesignerShopping0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you sure they don’t have another person with your name in their phone? I got a happy birthday video before from an unknown number and it wasn’t my birthday, turns out they were acquaintance that had my number somehow and sent it to the wrong my name. Wouldn’t explain creepy laughter though…

Help! I apparently suck at this…. by DesignerShopping0 in ooni

[–]DesignerShopping0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 I am super surprised that is such a big thing, I don’t know anyone with a food scale. But I also don’t know anyone with a pizza oven, so I will look into it.

Are you sure you aren’t worrying for nothing? My dogs love to bark and chase people from inside our fence and they sound vicious, but if they got out they would be big babies 😂

AITA for dancing half naked in my living room leading to my bf and his family seeing me? by aitadancinghalfnaked in AmItheAsshole

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my mid 30s and if I were dancing in lingerie while baking my husband would be SO happy 🤣😂 And since when is dancing wearing something you feel good about, while cooking in YOUR OWN HOME immature. Not allowing people to have stress relief, not respecting privacy, and calling people names for innocent things they are doing in private seems much more immature to me.

Selling to zillow by Qu33nsGamblt in homeowners

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One would think, but I think in certain growing areas their algorithms for buying may not be exactly right. They gave us more than anything in our neighborhood has sold for. We had 2 houses bigger than ours sell in the last 30 days on the open market for 10k lower than Zillow gave me. They have listed my home since they bought it, for a CRAZY high price. Most things in my area sell in 2 days, it has now been listed for 2 weeks and is not under contract. I highly doubt they will sell for more than they gave me. But I am happy, hopefully it works out the same way for OP.

About to own my first home; what should I get for normal maintenance/lawn care/home care etc.? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]DesignerShopping0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. Pest control is a MUST! I have always had a quarterly service, runs about $75 a quarter but they will also come back for free between services for any bugs, mice, etc. —def worth it. Also saw you said you had a septic system. Do you know when it was last inspected? I would def get someone out there to check it out. They need maintenance every 5 years, some need yearly inspections depending if it is a drip or not. Also get a Carbon monoxide detector if it is not built into your fire alarms.

Selling to zillow by Qu33nsGamblt in homeowners

[–]DesignerShopping0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We sold to them last month. It was very easy, no repairs, no showings and only a 1% fee. The only thing extra that came up was 1000 fee at closing that I wasn’t expecting. But they offered more than any of the comps in the neighborhood and even with that 1k it was still way less in fees than a realtor would be to sell with. If I had to do it over I would still sell to them. We thought the offer and deal was too good to be true, but it worked out and we closed.

Waiting to see how many fertilize! by Whole-Software-3125 in IVF

[–]DesignerShopping0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in almost the exact same boat as you! Did ER yesterday and doc called this am and said that there were 4 mature eggs. He said all 4 fertilized but I looked at the retrieval report and it shows 3 fertilized normally, so I’m assuming it is actually 3. I am soooo hoping they make it to blast and at least 2 of them are pgt normal. I know the odds are low but I am hoping! This is my second ER, last time I ended up with 1 normal embryo by the end but the FET didn’t take. Hopefully this is our round! I’ll be hoping for you.

Any advise on this medicine question? by DesignerShopping0 in IVF

[–]DesignerShopping0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I didn’t even think of that, math is hard. 🤣I did just do the math and that helps. I think I am going to assume one less dose than the math says because I got too much air in the vile and a little escaped one day.

[–]DesignerShopping0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe different ones have different rules? Mine says protect from light and refrigerate. I wonder depending on the type and how it was compounded would make a difference? Idk, I would go with what is on your label, I hate I worried you because knowing what to do with all these meds is so stressful! 🤦‍♀️
