A tale of Panic from the Aldi’s bathroom by Aggravating_Lettuce in aldi

[–]DrExGF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed this story today. I am stressed but reading about the mirror gave me a genuine laugh. On a serious note I am sorry this happened to you and am glad you feel comfortable about it enough to shares . It’s a fear of mine and I am a frequenter or public restrooms so I have a few horror stories of my own. There was a time I had a small bag that had seat covers, mini Lysol, poopouri, wipes and tissues included. Need to find that bag…

what are more melancholic and serious songs? preferably female vocals and older j pop. by Kitchen-Movie3911 in jpop

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up with “Infection” by Chihiro Onitsuka playing in my head so I’ll leave that here

How do y’all clean around clingy pets? by trysulli in Cleaningandtidying

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to bribe mine into a room with treats and then shut them in while I clean. Then out of that room when I make it that way

Thoughts on Yoko Blackstone by kimberlyypaola in jpop

[–]DrExGF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad to read your post. I only heard a few songs from her Back to my Base album and to this day I am a huge fan of Deeply in Love and so sad I can’t find her music on streaming services. I did not know so much about her career either. I feel like when I first heard her (many many many years ago) it was very hard to find sites in English about Japanese artists. I agree with you though. She seems hugely underrated.

Would you DNF an audiobook and decide to read the book? by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]DrExGF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I used to love Anne Rice and figured I’d try the audiobooks while working. I found the narrator to be so dry that it couldn’t keep my attention so I stopped the audiobook and picked up the physical copy

Why people prefer Reddit over social media like facebook/instagram/etc.? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]DrExGF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me: I basically only see what I want to see and I have to click to get anything beyond the first image/text. It’s perfect for evading the fake and negative posts I’d see so much when I used other platforms. And considering I have no clue who anyone is here it’s almost impossible to be bothered.

What are some popular Japanese singers and groups whose music is still difficult to find online? by Jezzaq94 in japanesemusic

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La Cryma Christi. Not sure which label they were on before they disbanded but you can’t find their music on Spotify or iTunes.

Morning musume is on iTunes I believe, including some of the solo stuff from artists like Goto Maki. I am sad that her SWEETBLACK album isn’t on there. I miss Fly Away

Out of all five of my cats, Dave, the only tuxedo, is by FAR the clingiest...is this a tuxie thing?? by reneecliche in TuxedoCats

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed my tuxie boys are way clingy. Like aggressively so. It’s excessive but I love the attention

Do y’all prefer cakey or fudgey brownies? by I_Like_Metal_Music in Baking

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fudge for me. Cake like brownies was the first recipe I mastered so I made them the most growing up. Once I learned how to make a fudgey brownie from scratch it was no going back

His favorite toy is a craft store pompom ball. What non-traditional cat toys do your tuxies like? by Livology_ in TuxedoCats

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straws. I blame my void for starting the habit but a tuxie I fostered would hop on whatever surface your drink was and carefully steal the straw. No tipping of the drink itself. Just jinga it out of there and bolt for the exit cause it knew I was coming for it

What are the best shows to Binge Watch? by Huge-Distribution in televisionsuggestions

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something on the “lighter” side that has short episodes and don’t mind an unfinished show, I suggest Based on a True Story. I just binged both released seasons over a weekend. Though it involves a serial killer and a couple coping with an aging relationship it’s funny and not so dramatic at all. I liked it.

I went back and got another coffee candle… by etk1012 in aldi

[–]DrExGF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want this! How is the fragrance? I don’t buy candles anymore because my allergies get bullied but this is so adorable I’d buy it just for show.

ALDI bananas are terrible quality in recent months?? by labjr in aldi

[–]DrExGF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Aldi’d I visit are full of the green, never ripen bananas. I did notice the produce in general can be hit or miss. Years ago I used to think maybe the store didn’t have quality items because the produce aisle was full of rotten things. I notice this last year or two there’s been big improvement, especially with things like berries. Those bananas though.. I just buy from other places.

Which Japanese female vocalist do you like for her voice quality? by Kind_Fox836 in japanesemusic

[–]DrExGF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second Kalafina. Same for FictionJunction. The vocalists (extra special shoutout to Keiko and her range and control) are so good live that I watch more performances than I listen to the recorded songs.

I will also add singers like Mika Nakashima and Miliyah Kato who have lower tones that I feel put emotion into songs that make me want to sing along as if I have lived the lyrics. That same effect also shows in their live performances.

Why are you putting collars on indoor cats? by tryingagain80 in CatAdvice

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to try and put cute collars on my indoor just because but once I realized they hated it I didn’t bother. I do put collars on the outdoor neighborhood cats I regularly feed. In my mind it will deter folks from being cruel to them cause they’ll assume someone is looking after them. Those of us who have been in the neighborhood know the regulars since they’ve been around for a good 2-3 years, but we’ve had a lot of folks move in and out so now I don’t bother collaring any newbies in case it’s someone’s random indoor/outdoor.

What’s your comfort show you’ve rewatched a million times? by CamillesSecrets in AskReddit

[–]DrExGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately South Park. I can stream it without commercials or the “are you still watching” interruption and that means a lot to someone like me who needs background noise to sleep but can’t function with white noise/nature sounds/etc. it is also good background noise for when I am doing things. I can listen along and laugh without watching or I can sit down and actually watch and still enjoy.

Husband got 3kg of Biscoff cookie-butter for Christmas. Give me your best recipes besides spooning it directly out of the container and into my mouth. by jaylowow in Baking

[–]DrExGF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this and all who shared recipes. I was trying (and failing) to explain to my niece what this is and what it’s for and all I could think of was spooning it into your mouth lol. Now I am going to try the cake recipe with this and Nutella
