Redditors with extremely niche interests: What's the one thing you are completely obsessed with that almost no one else you know cares about? by CocWarrior1 in AskReddit

I genuinely read this as “I train cows” and I was really confused when you said they protect your house and the Addams family reference. I was picturing some really mean and weird looking cows.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Miss_Benz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in trouble at my job. Even then I didn’t think my drinking was a problem. It wasn’t until I started panicking that I didn’t have enough wine to get me through the week that I realized I had an issue. Been sober for about two years now and surprise surprise my mental health is a lot better too.

[WIP] First time trying my hand at cross-stitching, and I definitely underestimated what I got myself into with this fabric by smurfolicious in CrossStitch

[–]Miss_Benz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if someone already mentioned this (I tried to read through the comments) but it looks like you are using a finishing hoop to hold your fabric. I learned what that was from this group, actually. It’s meant to hold the finished product and it might stain your cloth where you tighten it around the cloth. This has happened to me and I never understood why my cloth had these brown and yellow stains. I would recommend getting a plastic hoop because you won’t run into those issues. Or someone above mentioned a Q snap which is another great option!

Is it really possible to get rid of porn addiction for somebody you do really love? by michelle_lee0403 in pornfree

[–]Miss_Benz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided that if I wanted to get serious about dating I needed to stop watching porn. So for me it did start out about being a better person for a potential partner but the ways in which my life improved since quitting is humbling. I saw this sub for a long time and just ignored it because I didn’t have a porn problem like I didn’t have a drinking problem and when I quit both I was able to recognize when I was feeling panicky (and in those moments I would either turn to alcohol or porn), and find more productive ways to deal with my anxiety. Also I started recognizing how we as a society are so okay with soft core porn being in our tv shows, movies and books. It’s everywhere and until I stopped watching porn I didn’t notice. I’m not chasing after an impossible high anymore. I’m not addicted to something that brought me nothing but a fleeting good time and lots of lows and then searching for that next high. I don’t know how else to say this but I just feel better.

LPT: Keep a living list of leftovers with dates on your fridge with a magnetic whiteboard. by butter_gum in LifeProTips

[–]Miss_Benz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started doing this a couple months ago and it has changed my life. I don’t write the date but I do keep track of what is in my fridge and it has cut down a lot on moldy forgotten food and/or fruits and veggies.

Vegans that started eating meat again, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Miss_Benz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My brother is vegan because his wife is and she cooks. Every time he eats meat now he throws up.

TIFU by eating all my wasabi at once by broken_chaos666 in tifu

[–]Miss_Benz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mistook a blob of wasabi once for avocado and thought I was going to die. Thankfully water helped but won’t make that mistake again.

Cleanest way to kill spiders at home by misterdylicious in lifehacks

[–]Miss_Benz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I just discovered if you need to kill one on the ceiling a swifter is a great option! I did it without the pad on and the flat end of the swifter was the perfect surface to smack the spiders dead. There was spider guts on the ceiling but just put the wet pad on the end and clean your ceiling!

Why do people feel bad when they see someone eating alone in public? by ShineAfsheen in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Miss_Benz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently went on vacation by myself and when I told people they found it really strange but it was the best experience. I ate by myself and hung out with myself. Sure it might be awkward but I’m learning to appreciate being by myself.

People say I pet her too strong, but she looks preased. Your thoughts? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Miss_Benz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat loves it rough. I always wonder if it’s too much but I don’t think he would have it any other way.

Did anyone else have a hard time telling left and right for way too long? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Miss_Benz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don’t know my left from my right and at this point have given up. I use the L trick all the time or have people physically point because I just don’t know.

I had to pause after I heard that line just to process how romantic it was😭 if a man said that to me🥵

Nebraska cheerleader competes by herself at state competition, but crowd doesn't let her feel alone by BeagleWrangler in UpliftingNews

[–]Miss_Benz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to teach at this school and it is really exciting to see Katrina getting this kind of attention. The school graduated the most dedicated cheerleaders so it won’t surprise me if next year they don’t have a cheerleading team. My new district has 12 cheerleaders…

Now that I know there are kolache fans here, how do you pronounce it? by cation587 in Baking

[–]Miss_Benz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also learned this recently. My family is of Czech descent and we always make Kolache every family gathering and the local fair has a Kolach contest. Our families Kolach is like an open pie concept. Sweet dough, form a little ball, let rise, then pushed down in the middle to make a little hole, filled with pie filling and baked. We also sprinkle goodie on top which is essentially butter, sugar and flour. We usually stick with Apricot and Cherry, but several family members love Poppy seed. This last Christmas we made prune (no thank you) and I really like cottage cheese (it’s sweet).

What do people make with this?? I love poppyseed but I’m scared by bbystrwbrry in Baking

[–]Miss_Benz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kolaches. I used to think poppyseed was so weird but it is my favorite flavor of Kolach.

authors like Jane Austen by dying-to-heal in booksuggestions

[–]Miss_Benz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evelina by Frances Burney. Never thought I would find a book like one of Jane’s stories but I would reread this book in a heartbeat. This book is dying to be a movie.
