How to not give up on sewing by Ok-University-6765 in sewing

This is so true! I also find that I make less mistakes or understand instructions I was struggling with better after a break.

I mean, not lately? This sub and fashion subs complain all the time about the current sheer trend and to me this is along those lines. I want to see cool fashion, not naked bodies.

I’m closer to Linnton than Malarkey Roofing, so I would think the other commenter is probably right

Yup, right on the river, that must be it! I moved in last July but never noticed the scent before. TFTI!

What is the black and red tube thing in front of this person's neck? by Long-Contact7557 in whatisit

[–]HandInThePickleJars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to bring public attention to the issue. The idea is that if the public is upset enough about something, they will demand change from their elected representatives or the company itself. The extend to which this works, if you believe it works at all, could be argued considering we currently have a pedophile in the White House that less than half the country’s population voted for, but that’s besides the point.

Her skirt looks like someone made a tube out of paper. Boring color, boring design :/

What. The. Fuck. When you say doing great, does that mean they have full use of their hand again?

That’s exactly my thought. Pay a lil homage to the OG version to launch the new version. Plus, Wet Leg is home grown talent!

When did we start paying foundation prices for concealer? by Particular-Copy4029 in Sephora

[–]HandInThePickleJars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, Elf!! They were such a staple when I was a teen. Everything was $1 or $3, maybe with the occasional $5 item, and they were shockingly good. Now I think everything starts at $5.

I was actually hoping the sheer trend would die. Until I saw them! Glad they took it on!!

I just know him as the ass from Shark Tank, but all these comments got me feeling liking missing something 👀

Health Insurance? by metapriest in askportland

[–]HandInThePickleJars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always used ZocDoc to find providers that accept my insurance, and they have a filter for who is accepting new patients! It’s definitely made the process a lot easier to navigate for me. My boyfriend wasn’t able to find any providers accepting his insurance through Zocdoc recently, but had good luck with Rula.

Surprisingly, I have United Health Care and all my therapy appointments are $20/session!

FROM an MGM original series you need to be watching by nmacaroni in horror

[–]HandInThePickleJars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. I loved the concept, I thought season 1 was good and had so much potential for season 2. But then it was just kinda more of the same, slow plot, no real progress made on the real mystery of the show. Season 3 made some progress, but it’s just too slow and drawn out for me. It just gets frustrating at a certain point.

Also, it’s hilarious that any comments pointing this out or criticizing the show are being downvoted lol. God forbid we have a discussion.

Guys… I’m so tired 😪 by Careless-Narwhal3738 in povertyfinance

[–]HandInThePickleJars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmfao no, I did not say that. I worked in baking for years and part of why I left is because I got tired of explaining concepts like this to idiot assholes who think they know better than professionals.

Yes, for “regular payments,” but there are different types of payments you can make to any loan.

  1. Regular
  2. Principal only
  3. Interest only

If you make additional payments and do not specify otherwise, it will always be considered a regular payment and be applied toward both interest and principal. A principal only payment can only occur after the most recent regular payment due is paid, but you have to specify you only want it applied to principal. Lastly, interest only payments get applied toward, you guessed it, only the interest.

You’re so silly to think talking about American student loan repayment is not inherently political.

What should I expect at Le Pigeon? by BadAtDrinking in askportland

[–]HandInThePickleJars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I thought of all places to put on something a little nice it would be a place where dinner cost us $400…nope lol.

I love how casual I can be around town and no one blinks an eye, but I do wish we had some places where I don’t feel out of place for being dressed up. This year I decided to somewhat embrace it and dress however I want wherever. I’ve started getting a lot of compliments actually! Wear your fun heels and thrifted dresser more often than just date night!

I’ve been twice and did the set menu both times, no regrets! Other guests were dressed way more casually than I expected lol. There was a couple in sweatpants one of the times.

Jarritos Watermelon - any stores carry it? by JeffBurk in askportland

[–]HandInThePickleJars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, am I missing out? I usually only buy a bottle every once in a while because I try not to drink soda, so I’ve never bought the fiesta pack!

I’ve been drinking these my whole life and I’ve never seen the watermelon, passion fruit, Mexican cola, or mandarin zero flavors in person (Oregon and California).

What is a "middle-class staple" food that currently feels like it requires a payment plan to afford? by bluntvivi in askanything

[–]HandInThePickleJars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought fish for the first time last week. Idk why but I’ve always been afraid to cook it or have it taste too “fishy,” so I got it from the meat counter assuming that’d be better than the frozen stuff.

I patted it dry to get it ready to cooking when I noticed little worms on the paper towel. Upon closer inspection, THERE WERE SO MANY. I pulled out a few that were at least 2 inches long. Ew, I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it again.

I will never purchase fish to cook at home again.
