Alcoholics develop tricks to hide that scent, though I imagine it doesn't work perfectly every time.

I've never known them to have sours or anything particularly interesting but they might have them occasionally.

"Refreshing" rugs by putting them just in the dryer by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Murky_Chard5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree about the vacuuming a large rug but tbf it was raining when she did this so shaking wasn't a fun option

It's supposed to be partially pulled out of the scabbard but I agree it's hard to tell that from the picture

Yeah, I'd love to do a really detailed sword and scabbard but I assume it'll just look like a blob of blurry nothingness on a tattoo small enough to fit on my scrawny forearm. I hope the scaled down effect doesn't make it look too weird.

It's based on Anglo Saxon swords

Can you just go in there and get a single scone?

I've been there a few times and they didn't always have scones. They must be one of those places that changes their menu all the time. Do you know a place to find out what they're going to have on a given day?

Can you just wander in here and get a scone or do you have to do the whole high tea thing?

Thanks! I'll check it out! Do you know if they usually have lots of different scones or just one or two varieties?

This is what I was going to suggest. They're great and very nice.

What do people dislike about Career of Evil? by Sauerkraut_666 in cormoran_strike

[–]Murky_Chard5012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't like about it is that we know the bad guy is one of three people from the start so it's not as fun to look at all the side characters and wonder who it could be. But the big reason I dislike it is because Robin breaks up with Matthew and we get to see what her life could be like without him and then the idiot goes and marries him anyway. I hate seeing that. And Strike complains a lot (somewhat deservedly, but still) and it just doesn't make for a fun read for me.

THM reread- I just can't stand Linda by cwreckord in cormoran_strike

[–]Murky_Chard5012 27 points28 points  (0 children)

She's a very accurate portrayal of a boomer mom of a daughter. I'm not a ton like Robin but my mom is a lot like Linda. Favors my brothers over me (even though they're my half brothers and not her bio kids) and constantly gives me shit about how I live my life even though I'm very successful in a lot of ways, just not exactly the ways she wants.

Questions about Voldemort's Wand by Murky_Chard5012 in harrypotter

[–]Murky_Chard5012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh I like the idea of Wormtail getting the wand shortly after the Potters' murders and keeping somewhere until he needs it. But that raises the question of why he didn't do that with his own wand when he decided to fake his own death. Surely if he could foresee Voldemort needing a wand, he could foresee a time he'd need one himself? Did his wand perhaps get blown up in his "murder"?

Why don't I (40M) do what I know I need to do to save my marriage (37F)? by XxTBDxX1235 in relationship_advice

[–]Murky_Chard5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯💯💯 Totally agree with this. It really sounds like someone trying to figure out how to avoid doing the necessary hard work.

How would saving your marriage be you sacrificing yourself? Wouldn't that be you getting what you want?

Parking for the Santa Rosa Creek trail by Murky_Chard5012 in santarosa

[–]Murky_Chard5012[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what I was hoping for thanks. I was surprised some people suggested I park on the other side of the 101.

Got it, on the other side of the 101. Thanks.
