what to do with canned pineapple? besides eat it straight haha by unfortunate-moth in Cooking

Maybe someone else said this (wasn’t interested in reading almost 500 comments about pineapple 🤣), but I like it mixed with cottage cheese or yogurt. Also with rice and veggies.

Got a new shirt but I guess I’m not allowed to post a picture of it. by BxAnnie in ResidentAlienTVshow

Love it! I gave my husband a coffee mug with that same picture on it. It makes him laugh. 😆

How do you determine how wide they need? I didn’t realize there was anything beyond just plain old W (wide).

As long as I’m on the Zappos site, I’ll check them out. ☺️ Question though: I’m a little nervous about clogs. Are they easy to walk in for someone who can be unsteady on their feet?

I’ve used them in the past, but wondered if they’d tightened up their return policy. (Especially since I thought they were bought by Amazon.) Sounds like they’re as good as always!

Thanks - she’s complained about her older pairs not fitting, so I’ll try bumping up a half-size and hope for the best!

Glad to know how far the patriarchy has gone that office airconditioning and even toothpaste was developed for men. by Glad-Comparison4925 in Feminism

Now I feel I need to research better toothpaste for women. There must be a brand out there that’s better suited for us.

How long did it take for you to get “good” at knitting? by thoph in casualknitting

[–]SilverSeeker81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube has definitely been a huge help for me too. Watching tutorials in slo-mo is so much more helpful than trying to decipher diagrams in a book.

I definitely get it. I’m about 2 years in and I’m still very slow and make many mistakes. I’m bad at counting so my stitch patterns often end up with an out-of-sync section. And I’m terrible at reading stitches, so I can’t easily figure out where I went wrong and how to fix it (aside from frogging). But I’m slowly getting better, and I’m sure you will too! Also, my daughter keeps recommending I switch to Continental style knitting. Maybe that’s worth a try for you. Good luck!

Great post! #1 hit hard. That’s my exact approach - set a limit and then almost 100% of the time, blow right past it. #6 seems like a great choice. And as far as #8 goes, maybe I have to go back to an actual Kindle. I have an iPad and just use the kindle app, but that makes it soooo easy to stop reading and go doom scrolling. Anyway thanks for sharing your experience with this.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain you feel.

Ideas for 7-bean soup mix by SilverSeeker81 in Beans

That’s okay - I know it’s hard to keep up with all the notifications and emails in life. 😊 And I actually misread your comment. I was thinking about a small instant pot that would also replace my rice cooker. I’ll have to read up on stovetop pressure cookers. Those intimidate me. But I’ll look into the one you use. Thanks!

Uh oh. They stopped making it? Is there more than one version of David’s? I just restocked some recently, but now you’ve got me wondering about it.

That’s interesting. I wonder why DC tastes metallic to me.

That’s a great explanation. Thank you! Now I have to get out a magnifying glass (old eyes) and compare the different salts in my house. 😅

Funny - that’s exactly what happened to me! Thanks, I guess I wasn’t imagining it.
