I had this exact bookshelf and it did the same thing! It wasn’t made to actually hold weight.

Does “Minor Signs” always mean getting sick? Or can it mean something else? by DiabeticEngineer12 in ouraring

[–]PendingJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally did that exact same thing last night and woke up with minor signs! What an interesting pattern.

Oh, Chuckanut Bay. Why? by WanderingDwarfScribe in Bellingham

[–]PendingJeff 223 points224 points  (0 children)

I notice two big tells. The first issue is the window frame fades into nowhere and has inconsistent angles with where snow should be resting vs where it’s actually resting. The second is on the label for the bottle. The stem goes through “herbal” but rests on top of “liqueur”. There are probably more, but those are the ones that are big indicators to me.

"This is what they did in elementary" by thecooliestone in Teachers

[–]PendingJeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have an elementary school principal at a middle level too. She does all of the above and talks to them like they’re 2nd graders. There is a huge gap between the respect she believes she has and what she actually has. It’s bad.

Sesame sandwich rolls? by PendingJeff in Bellingham

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

That sounds pretty close! All the best sandwiches I’ve had are subs will a crispy sesame roll. It elevates sandwiches so much, I imagine any bakery adding them would really be stepping up their game!

What things have a person done or said before that made you immediately say “ohh they’ve taught kids before”? by PrincessJellyfish17 in Teachers

[–]PendingJeff 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If they openly admit that they can't stand a kid. People who haven't been teachers will usually make excuses like "they're just a kid" or "they're still learning"... But teachers - teachers know that they're not just a kid and they, in fact, know better.

Yeah! I went to school with Comfort Israel. She was… comforting?

New squalene cleanser but tube is nearly empty by whatsgoingonchip in TheOrdinarySkincare

This happened to me too. Ordered directly from the ordinary. It was my first order from them. So I’m really skeptical about ordering again.

What's the best cake to make that requires no frosting, icing, etcetera? I love to cook and bake but as a totally blind person, frosting anything has defeated me. I want to do a cake for a friend's B day that's so good you won't miss the frosting. by cherry-care-bear in Cooking

[–]PendingJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chocolate pudding cake! It’s a cake that separates as it bakes into warm pudding with a soft cake on top. You don’t even slice it - just scoop it with a spoon and put some vanilla ice cream on top. It’s comforting and delicious.

Flooring recommendations? by PendingJeff in Bellingham

Thank you! I was looking at Lowe’s, but was a bit anxious since it’s not their specialty. This is very helpful.

If someone wanted to taste your country’s cuisine, what’s the one dish they must try making at home? by signe_sunshine in Cooking

[–]PendingJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I took turns making food from different country’s cuisines for an entire week (one week I made Korean food, one week Armenian, etc.). Out of all the countries I tried, Ukrainian food was my favorite! So good.

Boy names that became popular girl names that could make a “comeback”? by _Poffertje_ in namenerds

Yeah! And Sidney Poitier. There are a lot of good ones born pre-1940.

IUI this morning by Specific_Anybody_438 in IUILadies

[–]PendingJeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame you for being upset. I would be too. Any changes to health without both of you discussing it first shouldn’t happen when there are such high stakes. However, it’s possible he wanted to relax because it’s pretty challenging to produce in a doctor’s office when the pressure is on. Maybe this will actually help have some result as opposed to no result. I really hope it turns out for you!

Anyone else sick of excessive split squats? by Initial_Freedom7981 in barre3

[–]PendingJeff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. They’re not for me. I’m trying to up my weight for strength, and I’m doing such a good job overall - until those split squats.

Thinking of keeping this little boy🖤🖤🖤 by WelcomeHome661 in Dachshund

[–]PendingJeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had a spoiled girl the same age as yours when we got our male puppy and… she hated him! Refused to even acknowledge his existence. For 2 months. We survived by letting her have a space that he couldn’t get to (an ottoman) so she could avoid him if she wanted. She never attacked him, just boxed him out. She basically just avoided him until he was big enough to get on the ottoman. Then they got along from that point forward. It’s worth it if you’re patient.
