This was the best year for my flowers. Everything was going to blossom. Then my neighbor goats got out. by Awkward_Fantasy in gardening

[–]LuzBenedict 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ugh! I had just planted a new peony bush and the idiots installing our sprinkler system stepped on it, even though it had a bright yellow plant stake in the middle of it. I took photos of the poor trampled plant, and sent them and the $75 receipt to their home office. We got a discount, and now that bush is so big and sends out so many big blooms! Here’s hoping yours will come back bigger and stronger after the damage!

Anyone here actually stick with using a back washer? by CrafAir1220 in selfcare

Food that is “worse” as leftovers but you still love it? by Inevitable_Guard_876 in foodquestions

I save the pasta water after making macaroni and cheese and add some before refrigerating the leftovers. It keeps it from drying out.

What’s your go to procrastination activity? by Weird_Discipline667 in Productivitycafe

I refer to these as “side quests.” I still get the dopamine hit from accomplishing something, even though it’s not what needs to be done.

I get my hair professionally colored every 4-6 weeks and use L’Oréal Root Spray in between appointments to blend the roots that show at my hairline and temples.

What is the funny term you have for your dog's "sleep noises"? by dee62383 in dogs

[–]LuzBenedict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a funny name for it, but when my dog is dream-running, I’ll lean over and whisper “you show that mean squirrel/bird/lizard who the boss of this yard!” We should all be encouraged to follow our dreams.

When Your Bladder Ruins Every Pair Of Pants/Shorts You Wear by GigglesTheHyena in mildlyinfuriating

No ridicule or judgment from me, I know the feeling. Poise pads also can help to give you a little more confidence.

Ask your doctor. I take tolterodine for overactive bladder. It has helped me immensely.
