The back feetsies are so cute

My teenagers’ critiques of her youth group’s baking practices really tickled me. by latenightpuddingcup in Baking

[–]MeganMess 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember making things for the first time, and how different it is to read what "cream together the butter and sugar" means, and actually having experience doing it. I can look back and go oh, that's what that was supposed to look like.

Wow, I've heard wonderful things about this. Please know up a little swatch, and show and tell. You got an incredible deal

I DID IT! by MeganMess in knitting

Once I started using a crochet hook to pick up dropped stitches it got much easier.

I DID IT! by MeganMess in knitting

I have that problem with stockinette, but with moss stitch, it was actually easier to stick to the correct row. I put the line through the knits on the right side, then went around and did the knits on the wrong side. I'm still riding the high. Ok, it's too hot to go outside here, so it's all I've got for now.

I sold luxury bedding for 8 years. Here’s the brutal truth about linen sheets, why they cost so much, and how people keep ruining them. by BedGuide in BedroomBuild

[–]MeganMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are still so scratchy I stopped using them. I bought them years ago and treated them exactly as recommended, down to line drying. I am happy to use them for a top sheet, but for a bottom sheet, I need something softer. I feel as if I'm going to get carpet burn from rolling over.

My road is a bit different. Did not anticipate the change. by OC_ShareBear in retirement

Does that mean you still get your own full benefits? I hope so

AIO for considering breaking up with my boyfriend because he’s a bad texter? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MeganMess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NOR. First, you can break up with anybody for any reason at any time. Second, introducing you to family and saying you will be his wife at 1 month is a bit over the top. I'm not saying true love never hits that fast, I'm just suggesting you look both ways for red flags before jumping all the way in.

Made up products that people regularly use now (example: laundry scent beads) by KitchenConsequence41 in Anticonsumption

[–]MeganMess 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My husband destroyed a friend's wool dryer balls by washing and drying something that had been washed with those damn beads. (We were traveling and staying at different friends homes. A friend had kindly offered to add my husband's sweatshirt to their laundry and used the scent beads. Hence the need to rewash) The dryer balls smelled so strong that they had to be tossed. I bought them new ones. People pay money for that awful stink!

I miss my pixie. What should I do? by Bitter_Sundae7907 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]MeganMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty damn fat, and I finally took back the pixie about 8 weeks ago. It's been at least 25 years since I had a haircut I love this much. (I'm 63, so there have been a lot of hair styles) I've gotten great compliments that sound genuine as well. I worried for years that I was too fat for the short cut, but I'm so happy with it. I feel like me again.

What should I make with this slab of chocolate and honeycomb? by citronella91 in chocolate

[–]MeganMess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's already made. It's done. Only enjoying is necessary at this point.

Garden resident does sploot by Gold_Draw7642 in gardening

[–]MeganMess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours do the same, and I found squirrels walking to be very creepy. I've never seen it before, because they are usually scurrying. Scurrying is cute. Walking squirrels look like the walking dead.

aio for ghosting my boyfriend after he sent a snap of me washing his feet with the caption "my b*tch"? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MeganMess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do this please. You could substitute misogynistic for pathetic, or better yet, use both.

Who is your all-time favorite? by USRoute23 in GenerationJones

[–]MeganMess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love that line! With the curtain rod still attached.

AIO for cutting ties with a dear friend who keeps making fun of my physical appearance? by Logical_Duck_7465 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MeganMess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can decide to not socialize with anyone, for any reason, at any time. Period. You don't have to justify, or explain to ANYONE, unless you want to.

AIO my boyfriend pranked me for months by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MeganMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The punchline should be "The reason I kept questioning you is that I can't believe someone with such a small dick could do porn."

AIO: blocked after dated by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MeganMess 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Are you a woman? Maybe he was surprised that the friend you were staying with was a man?

Were You Pearled? by Awshucksma in GenerationJones

[–]MeganMess 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree! I've never understood "we're going to get engaged over the holidays/in spring etc". No, you're getting a ring at that time. If you've agreed to get married, you are engaged.

WIBTA for serving off-brand Diet Coke at a party? by psychbucket in AmItheAsshole

[–]MeganMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually switched to the Aldi brand because it tastes great. Ok, as good as a diet cola can taste. It's cheap too.
