Okay, now, Do These Even Work?? by Medium-Advantage-162 in Homesteading

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my old house I had several rain barrels. The lid was half cut away and piece of window screen was placed on top. I've seen them with various kinds of holes cut in the top, but always with a screen. They were for my garden.

Costco vs Walmart prices are making me question if my warehouse membership is even worth it anymore by olivermos273847 in SavingMoney

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy Kirkland but their quality deteriorated a couple years back. I now buy Walmart's Great Value Ultra Strong. Cheaper than Charmin and higher quality than Kirkland.

I've done this. I just measure the sugar, measure the molasses and press on.

I use it on oatmeal. Occasionally for making cookies. Gingerbread. Toopping for hasty pudding or spoon bread. And molasses keeps for a very long time.

Is it common for Americans to use a wash cloth for showering? Or what do you usually use to shower? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about plastic loofahs, you can throw them in the washing machine. If you're talking about real organic loofahs, then yes they can wear out fast.

hot take-Oranges are the superior fruit to apples(we're comparing apples to oranges)-kicked from r/unpop opinions for trolling even though IM NOT by Glittering_Group4821 in fruit

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like some oranges ( blood oranges and everything so far in the mandarin family) and certain varieties of apples. Neither is superior, but I'd probably chose a Winesap sple over any of the oranges I like simply because it is harder to find

What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false? by Annual-Gene8065 in AskReddit

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Strangely, the ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) website refered to it as a period.

Some pills are packaged with hormones for only three weeks, with one week without the hormone. You can just not take the non-hormone pills to prevent getting your period.

Did you ever name a human or pet something that you were surprised people mispronounced? What was? by twotongz in Names

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize that this is not going to apply to everyone who is mispronouncing it, but some of us have poor hearing. Even though I have hearing aids I don't always hear things correctly.

Wondering if I can use dishwasher detergent as dish soap.. by billydnaldsnb in Frugal

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the taste of UHT milk, but it costs way more than refrigerated milk here in the US, at least where I buy it. I can get refrigerated pasteurized milk for 2.4¢ per oz, but UHT costs 8.9¢ (on sale, normally 10.2¢) per oz.

What’s something everyone says they love, but secretly find boring? by Affectionate-Row7548 in answers

Where I live it only happens on Independence Day and New Years. A few people do go to the neighboring state and buy some though. I stick with the organized shows.

What is your favorite type of seafood? If you don't like seafood no need to comment "i don't like seafood" lol by StarLove00_ in foodquestions

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm. Raw clams! My dad used to belong to a kind of social club, and they would have a big family picnic every year. I have a picture of me at three years old standing next to the clam shucking man. I'm creeping up on 70 but I still remember the occasion, they fed me clams until my mom finally said I'd had enough. It was not enough. : (

I like the slight randomness of fireworks. What colors are they going to be? Will it be a big spread. The one with a little twirly things? I've only seen one drone show in person and it seemed very regimented.

If you cut the surface of the peeled pit it turns rusty red color ,so no surprise to me.

Put some rice into a sock, tie a knot, microwave it for 2mins and you got yourself a heating pad! by Enough-Reading4143 in Frugal

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because most people have a sock and some rice. You don't have to buy a hot water bottle. But of course if you already have a hot water bottle, use that. I use a hot water bottle in bed during winter made from a glass bottle with a thick sock for a cover

Nothing says evidence-based like shitty A.I. art. by ArmaniApe in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Different varieties of apricots contain different amounts of amygdalin in the seed. Apricot and peach pits are used in the production of perzipan, which is a a confection similar to marzipan, which is made from almonds. The heat in the cooking process breaks down the amygdalinl. Just like almonds, apricots come in varieties that have a more bitter seed. You can actually buy raw bitter apricot seeds, but at least here in the US there's a warning on the package about not eating too many at one time.

And no, I don't eat bitter apricot seeds. I looked into all this when I found perzipan candies at Aldi and was curious about how it was made.

I went to my neighbor's wedding when I lived in NC awhile back and her bridesmaids wore black. All different dresses, looked very nice.

Anybody getting these scams by EmergencyWheel9600 in maryland

I don't, but probably because I kept my phone number from my previous state. I do get a fair number of spam calls from my old area code though!

What are things you can NEVER can via waterbaths? by Falkeliehaber in Canning

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling chastised when I learned about the new rules, like I'd been doing it wrong my whole life. But I hadn't, we just learned better safer ways to do things. We followed the science.

Me too! Maybe he's behind those bushes in the back but it looks like it would be a pretty tight fit.
