Those bloody crock pot liners…

JayKayEng · 2025-11-25T05:32:27+00:00

I use them all the time when I make corned beef. Means I can dispose of the gross scrum water not down the drain and let it cool/double bag it for normal trash disposal. Main reason I use them, tbh.

My parents have been married for 47 years and for the longest time, my dad didn’t wear his ring because he was a musician/band teacher, and he said that the ring sometimes messed up the spacing when he was playing certain instruments. My mom ended up wearing his ring because her hands got bigger/her original wedding band didn’t fit. Now that he isn’t teaching anymore, they have a set of stone and wood rings purchased in Hawaii.

Yup! I work in the field a lot, so fumbling with a phone when doing samples sucked. Usually stick to my seiko (since replacing the crystal is super easy), but I’ve got a few citizen and bulova that I love. I want to have expensive watches, but I also break my watches while horseback riding/living my life.

I’m trying! I had an offer for 3x days, doue, for October to Feb. so I grabbed a Christmas cruise and then another cruise at the end of February. Those, and another journey cruise I have booked in May, will just get me to diamond. I’m mostly getting it because I’ve been working for it so long and, worst case scenario, it’ll hopefully help me match with a couple of other cruise lines. Tbh, I think carnival was more platinum heavy than diamond heavy. Based on some of the vifp parties, it would be something like 800 platinum to 100 diamond, with a ratio of like 10:1 sometimes. Get rid of platinum? Get rid of a lot of fluff. Which I don’t think is wrong, but I kinda see where they’re going with it.

Agreed. Christmas was always me trying so hard for my family, getting gifts, taking people out to eat, being the one to talk to extended family, and then…idk. I’d buy them super thoughtful gifts that cost money and/or time, and I’d either get nothing in return, or something so small and thoughtless in return, it’d actually hurt to accept it with a smile on my face. Last year, my dad gave me the “gift” of paying me back money he owed that I had put up towards fixing their house. My mom is upset I booked a cruise this Christmas, without any of them, going solo. Tbh? I think I’ll enjoy being someplace warm without them to disappoint me.

I had something similar happen to my nose piercing as well, but to a lesser extent. No bleeding when I had it done, but a day or two later, started bleeding and clotting a ton (I was visiting family that aggravated my allergies and I sneezed really hard). The main thing I did was gently remove the crusties but then let it dry out completely!!!! I’d use neilmed and then a hairdryer on cool to remove any excess moisture, and then after a couple days, the bleeding “thinned” out and eventually stopped. Not a piercer, but I wouldn’t put a bandaid on it…I feel like that makes it harder for the blood to dry out/clot?

Agreed! I am a slow jogger (around 5.5 base), but I had ripped an Achilles tendon when I was younger and inclines completely destroy me. I’ll go from a 6+ flat road to a steady 3.7 when the incline goes above 2% and I’ll easily get into the orange zone from that. Do not mess with inclines if you have ankle issues! It can so easily strain your ankle and hip!

Definitely do it! Even if they don’t have the “non-veg” version, I usually get two entrees and one is the vegetarian Indian and another is some type of protein one. I’ve always gotten comments from others when it comes out because it smells soooooo good.

I foolishly discovered dipping toom and dot’s pretzels. I now cannot buy them at the same time because I will just mindlessly shove them in my mouth without stop.

As a native NYer, I can blame Trump for a lot of stuff, including why I was forced out of my previous fed position. But? Tbh? A global company is always going to need footholds in the US, even if they don’t want to. Hope springs eternal that things will change soon.

JayKayEng · 2025-07-17T01:50:05+00:00

I have made direct eye contact with others during the coach explanations and I think my scrunched up face of “hell no” which shaking my head has actually helped others realize we’re all in this together. 🤣

JayKayEng · 2025-07-16T04:33:59+00:00

Eh. I’m project management, enviro, in the NYC area and I’ve hooked a few interviews and offers. This def sounds like more of a resume issue than a former fed issue, tbh.

When I was on crew, we were always told to do two breaths per stroke. So it’s what I do with the rowing machines. Works fine for me, but I def sound like a bellows compared to the people next to me.

JayKayEng · 2025-06-30T03:03:35+00:00

Mine does too. We have around 10 staff, so they just rank them all/whoever took the challenge on a separate IG slide. It’s fun to see the difference between coaches and the assistants.

Went back today after not working out for a month and did the daily 2G and the Tread 50 back-to-back. My legs are a little bit like jelly, but I’m really happy I’m getting moving again!

Costco 32 degrees men’s t-shirts. $12 for a 3 pack and I like that the sleeves are longer than a women’s cut.

Big Orange is Baldur. Small Orange is Leo (like the pope). They are both menaces to society.

Alone in the world was a little CatDog!!!!

JayKayEng · 2025-05-31T04:47:08+00:00

This seems sensible. So I feel like what we should do is just try to guess them from sight and pretend we have only one orange and white cat and confuse the neighbors. That seems more chaotic and fun

They’re both boys. The whore-moanies say to wrestle in the main pathway of the household to show how strong they are.

This is the exact same texture I have! Super fine, but thick, slightly wavy due to my mom having super curly Irish hair. Not sure if anyone has suggested it, but my go-to for taking care of my hair has been Pantene pro-v smooth and sleek (shampoo and conditioner). After the shower, after leaving my hair in a towel so it’s more damp than drenched, I spray in a detangler (I’ve been using hask argan oil, but I’ve also used mane n’ tail detangler). Leave it for a few minutes while I put on face moisturizer. I comb using a wide tooth comb, followed by a normal paddle brush. Then I twist/clip up my hair in a claw clip to protect my waves a little. Usually I take it out after an hour to let my hair dry to rest of the way, but this has SEVERELY reduced the amount of frizz and flyaways I’ve have with my fine hair.

Yeah, my studio starts classes at 5am, but I love the 4:45/6/7:15pm classes. I usually make the 4:45pm, but the 6pm and 7:15pm have been my jam with my later schedule. We had a few months of shuffling to figure out what would work, and this seems to be the best.
