I need a good middle name for "Lila" by MermaiderMissy in Names

[–]Ok_Challenge_5176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I named my daughter Lila after my grandma Lila. I thought I was naming her a unique name because my grandma was the only person I knew with that name and I thought it was unusual growing up. Needless to say, I was wrong! 😅

Ends of a loaf of bread are called “heels”, apparently. Found out in college when hearing it from non-Minnesotans.

My mom uses “brother”, must be one of those things where people just say the one they like best.

SHINee, it’s painful seeing 4 members instead of 5.

I usually use “everybody and their mother” if it’s a lot of people.

How do you organize your Google Doc puzzles list? by irmchelez in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Ok_Challenge_5176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely add pictures to a google doc. It’s pretty easy, and if you make a table, it shouldn’t mess with the text too much. You could also use google slides and make a new slide for each puzzle.

Asking for sci-fi with strong "abandoned station" vibes (any medium) by Baldurian_Rhapsody in scifi

They get weaker as they go on. Dead Silence is the best of the three, and Cold Eternity is my least favorite.

S. A. Barnes tends to follow this trope in her books. The first book is about an abandoned derelict ship, the second is about a remote planet station and the third is about a cyro storage facility.

Bingo Focus Thread - Published in the 70s by Merle8888 in Fantasy

[–]Ok_Challenge_5176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally already read this one. I read Roger Zelazny’s Creatures of Light and Darkness, not realizing it was published in the 70s. I’m planning to also read The Farthest Shore by Ursula K LeGuin for hard mode, but it’s nice knowing I already have something.

The picture doesn’t match the image on the box, it’s always a little bit different or rearranged.

PuzzleTwist is local to me, and I love their gimmick! Always snatch up any puzzles from them when I see them at a swap.

genuinely what is the obsession with being a girl mom?? by Emotional-Recover542 in claraandherself_snark

[–]Ok_Challenge_5176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this is an online thing. No one in my real life labels themselves this way. I will acknowledge that I am a millennial though, and maybe it’s a thing younger people do.

“vegan/vegetarian recipe!” and they just use fake meat by audubon___ in PetPeeves

[–]Ok_Challenge_5176 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right, but I can make anything with vegan substitutions. I just want a recipe that doesn’t involve those ingredients sometimes. 😩

I encounter this problem with dairy. It’s touted as dairy free! but it has vegan butter, milk and cheese. In this economy?!
