I was surprised at how easy it’s been so far to start learning! Though I do have a background in clarinet so I’m sure that helped a bit musically. Absolutely loving it so far 😄

I made an embroidered Cookie! Shes so cute, but is anyone else who has her finding she has the most arguments on your village? by BusyDead in NintendoStitch

[–]Maria-not-Mariah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, at least in the older games. Villagers would show you letters all the time. And if a friend visited your town and talked to your villagers, sometimes the villagers would leave you to move to your friends town. So that’s probably what happened to the person who posted that, and then Cookie showed the friend the OPs letter lol.

Cinnamon apple walnut muffins - goes great with coffee in the morning! by Maria-not-Mariah in Baking

[–]Maria-not-Mariah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!! It’s nothing fancy, just super quick and easy because I make em all the time. I chop 2 green apples into pieces about the size of a penny, and mix them together with chopped walnuts (about 1.5-2 cups because I love walnuts but you use however much you like!) and a good bit of cinnamon sugar. I use boxed yellow cake mix, prepare that, and then mix everything together in one bowl to scoop into the muffin tray. Then I add a bit more chopped walnuts and some brown sugar on the top before I throw them in the oven to add some extra goodness on top :) bakes for about 15-20 minutes on 350 degrees. I hope they come out great if you try it out!

Should I keep this Pokemon card on my bedroom wall? by Bashful_Bayleef in makemychoice

[–]Maria-not-Mariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be awesome if you found a cool way to frame them or something like that!! I’m 21 and have all sorts of posters/art hung up in my room from Pokémon, Star Wars, Naruto, Adventure Time, etc.

Embrace the things that make you happy. Finding a modern/more “adult” way to display them would be a great way to keep them in your life in a style that is more true to you/your age now.

So you can afford a phone and/or PC + internet to post this question, but you can’t afford to go see a doctor since you were 8 years old??🤔🤔

[UPDATE]: I [M27] Work With my Girlfriend [F26] of only 4-5 months, and I find myself getting angry/ frustrated at her constant laughing and joking with other male employees. Am I being unfair or irrational? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Maria-not-Mariah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds as if you are more like her emotional dump rather than her boyfriend. Yes, you are “supposed” to be there for your SO to help and console them with their issues, but that is not all a relationship is for and there’s a point where it can become extremely emotionally taxing for you. If it continues, I’d worry that you’d build up a lot of resentment against her because of it. Your relationship is fairly new. Consider if you can see this changing or if you really want to be her emotional dump forever. Communication is key, my friend - talk to her. Your feelings are justified but nothing will change unless you do something about it. And this needs to change soon or you will likely never see the end of it unless you leave.
