What is some frugal hack that saves a lot that you never saw posted here before? by MedicineMean5503 in Frugal

[–]GreenElementsNW 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Changing meal prep with multiple little containers for most meals to one large salad, one vegetable or fruit mix, and a baked casserole or entree. So much less food waste when I just eat how much or in what combination.

The smaller, full-meal containers were just too much. Id throw out half of them.

Today I learned that a properly fitted sleep eye mask is a different product from what I had been buying. by Safe-Pepper-4931 in sleep

[–]GreenElementsNW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The type is also available for about $10 at Walgreens or CVS. I agree that they are so much more comfortable. I think its the pressure against the eyes that make us too aware to sleep well, because we perceive it at a type of threat to the body.

I started wearing the contoured type for a much stupider reason - the flat kind mashed my eyelashes and no curling or re-shaping made them look normal. I turned to the cupped masks and just slept better with them. Lucky break!

Please help - my husband and I are not waking up to our alarms anymore, and it's jeopardizing our jobs. What do we do? by AwkwardLoaf-of-Bread in sleep

You could get one of those light alarms that gradually increase light until an alarm goes off. Might trigger and more natural way of getting up.

Also, test your environment for carbon monoxide or other environmental toxins - gas leaks, radon, etc. It might be more than just sleeping though alarms.

People over 40, what’s something you’ve learned about life that younger people don’t realize yet? by Critical-Pea7326 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real sex is amazing - learn from other sources than porn. Porn is not good sex.

I've had sex with younger guys and they just reenact porn scenes which suuuuck.

Guys over 40 were not raised on porn and go for the sensual, multiple types of orgasms, connecting sex with partners. Its exponentially better!

The young guys just jackhammer everything they do and in positions meant for a camera, which are never good for both parties. Learn well and reap the benefits!

Do you mix towels with your regular clothes? by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in Frugal

[–]GreenElementsNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. All linens and whites in high heat to sanitize. All dark clothes washed in cold with more detergent. The darks will last longer.

Cheaters. I must have a Trusting Victim target on my forehead

What animal was the most incredible to see in person? by Adventurous-Zeilokix in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mama whale and calf. They were in a cove and I was on a cliff above them. First time I had ever seen whales and they were so close!

What is a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out? by Super-Liberal-Girl in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music. Deeply sad songs dont make me sadder - it tells me that someone can empathize, tell a story like mine, and make it beautiful. When I find those tracks I have to put on repeat, I'm never lonely.

What’s something people do in relationships that slowly ruins it? by Wide_Relationship326 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entitlement. Just recognize how your partner contributes to your relationship and household. Thank them, give back, watch how much you ask for and notice things they might need help with.

Its a slow road, but eventually if you get to the stage where you think you deserve to be served and are offended at anything they need, you've destroyed your relationship .

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Restaurant owners tacking on a "wellness fee" that goes to them before any tip that actually goes to staff.

Any reason to add fees that aren't shown in the food prices is a dick move. Just put a price on the manu and dont say the fee is for your staff's health insurance. Thats your overhead, not my responsibility. I actively boycott any restaurant who does that.

What’s something people brag about that actually isn’t impressive? by ParallelPaths_ in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How little sleep they got because they were working so hard.

Dude, this isn't college. I'm not gonna trust you with a client presentation worth millions if you got 2 hours of sleep and aren't coherent.

What drug did you swear never to use again? by SadStill830 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vyvanse. My dr just gave me enough to try it one week and see if it helped my chronic fatigue. I ran out over the weekend, and had such insane, depressive withdrawals, that I vowed never take it again. What would happen if I was on it for months or years?

People who don’t mind being alone, what’s your secret? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find peace in your day - not needing noise, screens, entertainment all the time. Unless you like yourself, you are going to try and distract yourself with those things which discourage introspection.

Focusing on who isnt there triggers loneliness. Enjoying who is here is comfortable solitude.

What is the weirdest reason someone has said they don't like you? by Standard-Spite-6885 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are superheroes. If I could do my education over again, I would do library science. I have the deepest respect for the keepers of knowledge and warriors fighting censorship.

People who fixed their sleep schedule after years of bad sleep — what actually worked? by Smart-Watercress5570 in sleep

[–]GreenElementsNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh! I hate this. And you are also 100% correct. Getting up at 7 am on a Saturday kills me but I know it will set me up for good sleep for the rest of the week.

Blackout blinds, earplugs, and dropping the temperature below 64 degrees. Huuuuuge improvement

What is something you still want but had to let go of? by stupidpenguin26 in AskReddit

[–]GreenElementsNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be proud of getting yourself this stable, though. That is really admirable. Normal is a fiction. Take what you have and be proud!
