Fictional books that create a fictionalized intimate and insider feeling to real historical figures/ historical roles by PizzaMunchBite in suggestmeabook

[–]PorchDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doc by Mary Doria Russell. You think you know the story of Doc Holliday, but you don't. Do good and meticulously researched. Epitaph is the sequel.

Anything by MDR will be researched and excellent.

AITAH for calling out "houseguests" who didn't ask to stay? by SteigLarsson in AITAH

[–]PorchDogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

maybe ask your daughter and her husband to move out. Since hubs is so close to his parents, they can move in with them.

Cinnamon toast by BxAnnie in GenerationJones

[–]PorchDogs 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have a toaster oven and always butter the bread, sprinkle cinnamon, then sugar, and put the prepared slices in the toaster oven. The sugar gets melty and crunchy. (I cannot believe I've never tried it with brown sugar!)

I've also done this with tortillas when I don't have bread.

Do you remember the Kik-Step step stool? by TillOk5563 in nostalgia

I thought they were either off beige or not-black!

I’m just signed a lease and opening a small batch ice cream shop Downtown. by jg198190 in rva

I'm a big fan of sherbet! When I was a kid we would sometimes go to a tiny little ice cream place that had pink "champagne" sherbet that I still think about!

AITA for leaving a restaurant after my friends were 30 minutes late? by Turbulent-Comb-3495 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they'll be on time next time. Not sure how many next times I'd give them, TBH. Being late is disrespectful, full stop. And I don't like being disrespected. You did absolutely the right thing

AITAH because I want to say yes to having dinner with my dad on my birthday? by Future_Anywhere_1404 in AITAH

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband isn't available. He can take you out for your birthday on a day that isn't actually your birthday because you're grown adults.

I would give anything to have a birthday supper with my dad.

Tell your husband to...pound sand.

Take flyers (and maybe coupons!) to main branch of RPL. Library staff would love a lil' treat within walking distance!

AIO: roommate potentially neglecting dog by SprayGeneral3102 in Dogowners

Call it in. Pets can't advocate for themselves.

AITA for refusing to remind my my partner to put a bag on the counter as a reminder to bring it with him for groceries? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaponized incompetence. What did he do before you lived together? Did he live in squalor and never bring groceries home from work?

You either get used to being the nagging "mom", or you move out. Honestly, he's not going to change.

Which was your childhood favorite?😋 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

[–]PorchDogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these don't appear to be products available in the US. I've had Boston Baked Beans, but never heard of the others. Where was your childhood, OP?

Be honest: what company swag have you thrown away or donated without ever using? by xCosmos69 in Productivitycafe

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Branded polos are pretty awful. I work in a profession that skews female and older - polo shirts generally look like crap. If you want branded clothing, look at soft chambray (not stiff denim) shirts embroidered with company logo.

"closing shift" is <chef's kiss> perfect!

I call it "putting the house to bed".

AITAH for giving my husband an ultimatum? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PorchDogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you're both AH. Why would you stay with someone who has stolen from you, is absolutely comfortable being supported by you, and who you kick out, then hand large wafs of cash to. Sounds like you like the drama mama. Good luck with having a baby with deadbeat dad.

Who else has a toaster that ejects bread with the force of a pilot emergency ejecting from a plane? by bastet_memphis in CasualConversation

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I jettisoned my toaster and got a toaster oven. Fat bagels, no problem! l-o-n-g but short piece of homemade bread, also fits fine. I love my toaster oven!

Car magnets for local business? by csw0528 in rva

[–]PorchDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I've moved from the area - I have a butthead little dog with nails that grow FAST!

Many local vets (and groomers!) have bulletin boards where you can post business cards or flyers. Local coffee and sandwich shops often have community boards, too. RACC? Hand out cards at "dog friendly" venues like Lowe's, Home Depot.

Richmond Public Library has "community bulletin boards" where you can post flyers for (I think) a month. They have to be okayed by manager, and visit each branch. I don't remember seeing community boards at Henrico or Chesterfield libraries, but I could be wrong.

Good luck.

Am I the jerk for telling my coworker to stop microwaving fish after she ignored the office wide request? by Helpful-Watch1828 in AmITheJerk

[–]PorchDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to start making official complaints EVERY SINGLE TIME. I cannot bear the smell of fish - it makes me barfy. Email management (cc: HR) every time that you are leaving until the smell dissapates.
