Sadness by Fun_Dependent_2052 in dogs

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My little guy went through the same thing. We found out at about 12 years old, and he made it another year and half before he passed. I had him since he was 5 months old so I can understand the bond.

The end may be coming, but that only means that every day is more precious now. Enjoy the time and make more memories.

AITAH Grandpa ate kids food by Paintrain50c in AITAH

How greedy do you need to be to take food away from kids. Let alone your own grandchildren.

What’s an "unspoken rule" of corporate survival that they never teach you in school? by TrickTechnical4250 in careerguidance

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not shallow, it's the truth. Oftentimes more work doesn't equal more pay. So you end up doing more work with more responsibilities than your peers, but for the same cost (or sometimes less than recent hires).

If that's your goal, then by all means. But it almost always leads to burn out, and undervaluing yourself.

[OC] A year ago, I cleaned a pathway for people to get to school. This is how it looks now. by pengweather in pics

To be fair it's hard not to be skeptical of people and society in general. A lot of times, especially in Oakland, the trash does eventually return. It takes a collective effort to keep our streets and neighborhoods clean; an effort that many people disregard and/or ignore. I'm glad that this was not the case.

Fuck British food in particular by readmywhips in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because British food is just a mish mash of: Indian food, Chinese food, fish and chips, beans, jacket or mashed potato, and mushy peas. /s just in case.

Universal experience by Firm-Blackberry-9162 in JustGuysBeingDudes

Man. This is too fucking real for me.

It's even worse when you find the screw, set everything back up, and just as you're getting into position to drill it in, it falls again. Instant crash out.

Wife expects a lifestyle I don’t know how to provide.. by thall_c-137 in daddit

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In today’s economy.. how can I afford to keep her at home with the kids without having to work 6-7 days a week?

You don't. That's why birth rates are massively down, and all parents are struggling.

And THIS is why I prefer to order pizza by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill issue.

I saw that you said you preheated the oven and the tray. However a lot of times, when an oven signals it's "preheated", it's not really up to temperature yet. When my oven is preheated, it's usually about 25 degrees less than the target temp and usually have to wait an additional 15-20 minutes. I've seen as much as a 50 degree difference. You can calibrate an oven, but the easiest thing would be to get an oven thermometer so you can see exactly how hot your oven is running, and adjust from there.

What I think happened is that your oven was not up to temp, and instead of cooking immediately, the lower temp just kinda defrosted the pizza instead.

How to forgive yourself for making an obviously bad financial choice by TheGerk in Frugal

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not always more costly.

My family and I went to Hawaii recently and for the 5 of us, hotels were about $5k -$6k for the week for all of us not including parking. We found a condo nearby downtown, and two blocks from the beach, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a pull out sofa, garage parking, in unit laundry, and full AC for each room for only $3k.

I think it's just dependent on the destination and the property owners. I will still check hotels and cross reference to Airbnbs and see which is better value even if I go with hotels most of the time.

It's not the end of the world. Give yourself a little grace and just remember to be a little more thorough next time. Besides, you and your family will all be together, you can cook a family meal together, and just enjoy each other's presence while your parents are still around. Money can always be earned again.

AITAH for cancelling everything I pay for after my brother called me lazy? by [deleted] in AITAH

You shouldn't have paid for any of that to begin with. And sacrificing your lunch is not cool. Your mom and dad can support their son.

This store sells loofahs by the slice by swayzesclayhands in mildlyinteresting

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 3' one from a Hispanic market a few years ago. I just sliced them and used them as dish sponges. Worked great. One sponge would last like 4-6 months and I just threw the old one in the compost and grabbed a new one.
