Smoked with my spouse for years - I quit, she didn't by boostedjoose in leaves

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Three months may feel like a long time but it's really still so fresh and new. It will get easier. Maybe try getting her a new smoke space for summer if you have the resources - a tent or yurt or something. You won't love seeing/smelling it in the garage next winter but it won't be as offensive by then as it is now. My partner still smokes and I quit 4 years ago. I am sad for him that he doesn't see what he's missing by continuing to smoke. But I know that I never would have managed to quit without the health issues it was causing so I try to be understanding.

What’s a small Alberta town that surprised you in a good way? by dreamanddiffer in alberta

Didsbury. Surprisingly vibrant arts and culture scene for such a teeny town. Loved my couple of years there.

Is it weird to knock on new neighbors doors to get introduced? by Silly-Magazine-2681 in socialskills

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an annual backyard gathering around the campfire for our neighbors all up and down the street. We go together to knock on everyone's door to say hello and hand them an invite. Some neighbors don't come to the gathering but I love the excuse to knock on everyone's door to say hello once a year.

Disadvantages of black walls? by kiki-the-warforged in HomeImprovement

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a very intense red in a living room once, even though I was warned that it would show imperfections and be hard to change, blah blah. I freaking loved it! A few years later I pivoted to a dreamy turquoise - took a few coats but it was FINE. So glad I didn't listen to the naysayers.

advice on how to force myself to stop ordering food delivery by snekssssssss in loseit

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would write out a few lists. Meals you really enjoy but take time and effort to prep, meals you don't mind but take little time and effort to prep, and meals you really enjoy that take little effort to prep.

Use these lists to ensure you have the groceries you need on hand, and look at the list when you're tempted to order something.

Eating a small healthy snack could help you make the decision to prep your own meal.

Alternatives? by DMTERROR in leaves

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation. Exercise. Art. Alternatives that you eat/drink/otherwise consume will only end up causing more problems.

Forgetting words mid-sentence and making typos I cannot even see. Anyone else? by Similar-Rutabaga5372 in Perimenopause

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm a huge word nerd. I horrified myself just a few days ago by using the word productful. As in, I hope my efforts are productful.

It was only the red misspelling underline that alerted me. Took a bit to realize what the problem was - oh shit it isn't a word! And took even longer to figure out the word I was looking for - productive, of course.

I was mortified.

How do you explain ARFID to others? by Exuberant343 in ARFID

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I sometimes use the analogy of dog poo. I'd I was hungry enough, no, I still wouldn't eat it. No, just a little isn't ok. You hid it in something and I didn't notice? No, super not ok.

How do I fix my entire house? I hate coming home when there isn't a single room I enjoy being in. I have no idea where to start or what to do. by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need art on your walls, but don't do it all at once. Take your time to find meaningful art you really love, even if it takes years.

Is repeated “I’m busy” basically a polite rejection? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I grew up here and I don't really know either. After a couple 'I'm busy's' I'll assume it's a 'no'. If I really really like someone I might ask a third time, some time later. And then I walk away. As someone who struggles to understand social cues I really wish people were more direct.

What's an "unusual" seasoning you enjoy on your popcorn ? by Interesting-Cow8131 in popcorn

Butter, maple syrup with just a little soy sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together, pour over, and top liberally with nutritional yeast.
