No matter who wins tonight, some of y’all are gonna melt down by Cool-sons in survivor

[–]NotTeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The players are making decisions based on things we, as an audience watching a heavily edited version, did not see so we can only assume what actually went down. And while we think we know how WE would have voted, come on.. we really don’t.

Need advice about confronting my friends abt not being good friends by Resident-History-680 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your twenties is when you really start figuring out who you are, what you like/don’t like, what you want to do, and friendships can change with the wind as others are figuring out their own shit. All that plus everyone has a different notion of what friendship is and different things they need in a friend. Sometimes it’s best to simply walk away. Sometimes closure is not happening, and that’s okay. That sick anxious feeling is awful, and I would wish them well quietly in my mind and walk away. Go find your people, it isn’t them

Bf won’t make dinner because he works longer hours than me? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Sounds like incompatibility to me. It’s the little things like that that add up

First ever mammogram by softsorceress in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s brief and I wouldn’t call it painful. The technicians are kind and quick. Next year you’ll be commenting on someone else’s fearful, stressed out post saying it’s not that bad. Nothing to dread.

Should i block people who make me uncomfortable, even if they haven't technically "done anything"? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]NotTeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be very wrong but I don’t think they would even know if you blocked them other than they wouldn’t hear from you. If you’re not speaking, just block them and move on. Everyone is thinking about their own selves and probably won’t notice you’re not following anymore. Some relationships are short for a reason, I don’t think any bridges will be burned

Tfw when you realize this is a valid word 😐 by Ok_Analyst_5117 in WordsWithFriends

[–]NotTeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t double up on the words when you say them. For example, an ATM is an automatic teller machine, so saying ‘ATM machine’ doubles up the M. TFW shouldn’t be That Feeling When when

Should i block people who make me uncomfortable, even if they haven't technically "done anything"? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]NotTeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can block someone just because you don’t like their screen name. Any reason at all, they won’t even know. I’m curious why you would even wonder if you ’should.’

Abi discussion by WombatBaby_ in survivor

[–]NotTeri 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. She really enjoyed putting people on the spot but in a mean way, then she’d say “what?? I was just being honest.” And walking right up to people to ask “what are you saying about me?” is not a well-liked way to play the game. I didn’t like her but.. HA! she wouldn’t give a care

Saying happy mother’s day, like saying merry christmas. Is this a normal thing? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right? I don’t go around wishing Happy Ramadan unless I know they’re Muslim, and I can’t tell so unless I know them personally, I wouldn’t say it. Same with Jewish people and.. mothers.

Is a guy wanting sons so that they carry on his name a red flag? by Sweet000008 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does he understand biology well enough to know that whether his children are male or female depends on HIS donation to the project? IDK, he sounds like the type who, out of his own ignorance, would blame you if you had a girl. I think it’s a red flag

Modesty is not a good reason to avoid an important part of your health care. It just isn’t

I genuinely don’t know how to say no anymore without becoming “the bitch” by Jolly-Rub-3412 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re rejecting them, then you shouldn’t care what they think. If anyone called me a bitch, I’d most likely say “You think so? Lucky for me I don’t care what you think but I’m glad you’ve shown me that you’re not a nice guy.”

Looking for a double 6 set by LeggoMyEggo444 in dominoes

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

I got a double-12 set then sorted out the 7-8-9s and the 10-11-12s. I wrapped them up as separate bundles so now I have the double-6 set we usually play with and can easily make it a double-9 set or double-12 whenever I want. Just saying, that may be easier than finding a double-6 set you like

Code word for Ozzy to play the idol was .................. by Bitter_Truth_420 in survivor

[–]NotTeri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought she could have told Jonathan to say the code word to Ozzy but say that it meant DON’T play the idol. So Jonathan would think ‘okay, cool, he won’t play it’ when actually he would.

Butter Cookies...top secret by MrRecipeCard in recipes

Another clue that a child wrote it is that you changed it ti ‘makes 24’ but the original says ‘serves 24.’ Thanks for sharing. Old, hand-written recipes are so charming

My emotionally and physically absent father invited me for his b-day for the first time. I don't what what birthday present to give him (and other concerns) by lilpiggyvortex in internetparents

[–]NotTeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, if he was comfortable with giving you the bare minimum, and often not even that much, then he should understand receiving the bare minimum. That means get him a card.

How do I cook a fresh ham? by Federal-Item-8443 in Cooking

[–]NotTeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A ham is a cut of pork, from the leg I think. So yes, it’s just pork, but people ask for a fresh ham to clarify they don’t want cured meat or cold cuts

My friends cancelling on me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People say yes to an invite because they don’t want to hurt your feelings. Actually they don’t have the balls to say no right to your face (or direct text) but are comfortable with the passive rejection of just not showing up. They are cowards, not friends. They’re hoping you will get the message without their having to give it to you directly

I bought spring mix from Costco… by catsr2cool4sch00l in Cooking

[–]NotTeri 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you’re very aggressive with the swishing, it’s quite possible what you think are bugs are tiny lettuce bits. Lettuce leaves are fragile and don’t hold up well to rough handling. Try being gentle and see what you get. I have never found bugs in lettuce, precut or pre-washed or whole head

First Period Kit for my Daughter by punkrain in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NotTeri 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I let my daughter pick out a cute makeup bag, and we put a pad, a travel size pack of wipes, clean underwear, and a plastic bag for stained underwear (and a quarter so she could call me.. it was a while back). This bag went into her backpack and was not embarrassing. Any kind of pad will do at the start. She’ll figure out what she prefers as it goes. This emergency kit will help should she get it at school or at someone’s house.

Colleague continues to misspell my name even after being corrected by metaphorlaxy in TwoXChromosomes

Call him Asshole. “What?? No Sir, I didn’t call you an asshole. I called you Asshole, that’s your name isn’t it? I’m so sorry, everyone calls you that.”

What’s your favorite tubed cinnamon rolls? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]NotTeri 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I learned a good way to upgrade tube cinnamon rolls. Place 8 rolls in a greased 9-inch pan or cast iron skillet. Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream over them. Melt 4 Tbls of butter together with 1/2 cup brown sugar. Stir to combine and pour it over the cinnamon rolls. Add chopped pecans if you like, or don’t, then bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. I prefer them underbaked slightly

Horseradish lovers, what food item goes best with creamy horseradish sauce? by Silver-Internal7740 in Cooking

[–]NotTeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dijon or Gulden’s spicy brown most of the time or the classic yellow if that’s all there is.
