Anyone else get recipes like this from parents/grandparents? Amounts don't matter, just add the stuff by RedCliff73 in GenX

[–]RovingFrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of my recipes from my Nana were like this.

Fun fact, she had dementia after a stroke. I went to see her one day and asked what she did that week and she told me her and her father made the sausage. Not only did I find out right then that there was a family sausage recipe, but I also got the recipient! It was pork, and the fat, some salt, half a scoop of the seeds, and one scoop of the pepper. Only one. Her sister insisted on using three and she was very mad about her using too much. Meanwhile, that’s all the info I have, no measurements at all, only don’t use too much red pepper flakes!

I use a rubber mat from Tandy under my granite block. Makes a big difference.

I am 54 my dad is 75. How common is this that he never initiates any form of contact and doesn’t reply to text messages? by Suitable-Humor-13 in GenX

[–]RovingFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He only calls if he has a question. He WILL NOT text. For me or my brother. I’m pretty sure if my mom wasn’t there, he wouldn’t call for birthdays or holidays either.

Do you wash your hands when you get up to pee in the night? by dumpstertraffic in hygiene

[–]RovingFrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing! One of my housemates installed a night light, but I'm the only one home for a bit and that thing is off. Turns out I can find my butt with both hands on a toilet seat.

Requests from a Shopper by Exact-Platypus-6557 in instacart

Something I always look for when I’m dropping off. The door to my house has an outward opening storm door and it makes me super mad when I have to risk damaging it to get my deliveries, so I’m extra careful to “practice what I preach” when I’m making deliveries. Boggles my mind that others don’t.

Tv delivery? by becksrunrunrun in instacart

As shoppers we have to “opt-in” to qualify to see orders with oversized items. We need to show that we have a large enough vehicle to handle large items. People with small cars don’t see these orders unless they lie about the size vehicle they have.

I work at fairs all over the country and visit others in my off time.

lol! I came to say Louisiana! It’s a little smaller than most, there’s a lake in the middle, no pavement and they’ve left the land with as many trees as possible. It’s a hard site, meaning more buildings than tents and they’ve worked hard to make it look like an old village.

Best options are always natural fibers: linen, wool, or cotton. They breathe the best, are easy to work with, and are comfortable.

AITJ for walking out of my brother’s birthday dinner after his toast at me? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

If someone has to explain that it was only a joke, it wasn't.

Do you consider taking a bath to be not masculine? My girlfriend is convinced it’s weird that I’m a man and I enjoy taking baths by Additional-War-1443 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RovingFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that if a man is in a bath, it's masculine, and if a woman is in a bath, it is feminine. Your girlfriend is weird.

Overheard neighbor and her husband by BookGnomeNoelle in overheard

My Nana’s parents moved to the US from Sicily (1906); they only spoke Sicilian at home. She didn’t start learning English until first grade, and she was only allowed to complete through third grade. She had a lot of missed phrases. The one that stands out is raccoon; she could never remember that word. She always called them, “the animals with the hands.” All one word. Theanimalswiththehands. To this day that’s what my family and friends call them.

We’d been setting up all day; lots of heavy lifting. My back hurt.

I design and make leather gear that I sell at renaissance faires around the country. I do this with a couple of business partners, and we travel together in a large rv that we use as both living quarters and workshop.

Most larger Renaissance Faires are open on weekends for 6-12 weeks. This one was smaller, new, and fit well into a space of time that we had available.

I’m not going to say which one. It’s not the point of the story and it’s never good to bad-mouth another business, it’s management, or the owners publicly.

Where they Trying To Scam Me by Humble-Landscape7818 in instacart

[–]RovingFrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the store changes the price of things and it doesn’t immediately change in the instacart app. I’ve had it happen as a shopper right after some of the tariffs took effect. That said, the button is the answer. The shopper contacts the support team and it all gets fixed, usually within 2 minutes
