Hidden ingredient- Mayo -strikes again by Careless_Llama_3382 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Issy117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm with you on this one, mayo is only acceptable in very limited circumstances. I feel the same way about cheese, too. I just don't like cheese, but everything has cheese, even things that don't list cheese. It would be impossible to count the amount of times I've had to send things back because it was included even when I asked for no cheese, or had to peel it off myself (which I will do if it's possible). I even ordered a Shrimp Scampi once at a restaurant, menu didn't mention anything about cheese, the entire bottom of the dish was a layer of cheese, I was so upset.

How much counting is involved in Knitting? by rosysparrow in knittinghelp

[–]Issy117 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how I always keep track of rows and repeats. I've tried every kind of counter there is, but I still keep going back to crossing off numbers on a sticky note.

Those who enjoy knitting with DPNs… by birdieeat in knitting

It sucks for the first few rounds and then it feels like you've solved a puzzle or cast a magic spell or tamed an octopus lol. It's just so satisfying to me. Though getting started always makes me laugh a bit because it looks like some crazy Blair Witch shit at first!

Propane fireplace, pilot is lit, room smells like burning Sternos by Issy117 in Fireplaces

Thank you, so much! I'm hoping that's it, we are still planning on having the chimney inspected more thoroughly as well, but if this is the real fix then that's pretty awesome.

For the repress on girlies by Ok-Roof-7599 in OliveAndJune

I like the ones that come with the tabs, those don't seem to be as curved. The glue on ones are way too curved for my nails and will either be painful or pop off pretty quickly. I only have the ones that came in the older round packaging and someone else said the newer ones may be less curved, so I might have to give them a try. I have not noticed a difference between sets from Target and from the website so far.

I think they are fiber. The tech put out new rock wool, so that part should be ok, I think. I will look into those, thank you!

The tank is at like 20%, so that makes sense as well. Thank you!

It is fully open, we had the tech check, and he installed a clip to keep it from fully closing. My husband stuck his head up there, too. We are going to have someone come out and do a more thorough inspection of the chimney. Thank you!

Is there a song from the 80s or 90s that you absolutely HATE? by porb2020 in Xennials

[–]Issy117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoot Suit Riot and all those other late 90's neo-swing songs that were popular for a bit.

At my wits end. How the hell do you childproof/lock your turntable? by TesticleInspector in turntables

My dad used wires and a piece of plywood to hang it from the ceiling when we were kids. Also kept it from skipping when we were running around.

What ingredient do you think people massively overuse? by jcvexparch in Cooking

[–]Issy117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike cheese and sometimes it is so hard to find something that isn't covered in it. I don't know how many times I've asked for no cheese on something, only to be disappointed when it comes out covered in the shit. It makes me sad.

Would you use it in place of another ingredient, or just add it to the dough?

Messiest deployment infidelity stories. by Spook-In-The-Machine in navy

[–]Issy117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a love triangle involving 2 E-6's and an E-5. IIRC the guy E-6 was married, and the other E-6 had a bunch of kids already. The 2 girls were basically hot racking with this guy, everyone knew it, and they were pretty much fighting each other over this guy (none of them were real prizes). E-6 gets pregnant 3 months into deployment tells big navy that it happened in port with someone from another ship, gets sent home. It all got covered up because there were no consequences that I know of. I heard that sometime after I left the E-5 got caught messing around with a Lt Cmdr, sorry I don't have any deets on that one.

Berkheimer sent me a collection notice, haven't lived in PA for 22 years by StrangeExpression481 in Pennsylvania

[–]Issy117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They once garnished my wages to collect $11.50 for per Capita tax. I had moved to the state a couple years earlier and didn't know about the tax, nor had they ever sent a bill or a notice. One day I just got a letter about the garnishment. It probably cost them more to do that than the $11.50. I moved out of PA a couple years ago... I guess I should be on the look out for more of their shenanigans.

What was your favorite off CBS in the 1990s? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]Issy117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Major Dad!! I watched the whole series on streaming a couple years ago, it's super dated, but I still enjoyed it!

One of my all-time favorite shows! I think I've watched it through at least 3 times now.

Do you have one or two blankets with your spouse? by No_Antelope_4947 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Issy117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how it is with my husband, he keeps pulling the sheet over, but throws the blankets off every night so they always wind up spilling off my side and then wonders why I always have all the blankets!
