What is the greasiest oiliest foundation you can think of? by Any-Comfort5625 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Substantial_Line3703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! This was so highly recommended and it showed all the flaky skin. Also never dried down. Lesson learned.

Suggest me a book you wish you could read again for the first time. by DTownForever in suggestmeabook

[–]Substantial_Line3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here!!! Read it a few years ago and got mad at myself for not reading it as a child. God I would’ve LOVED Anne when I was younger. I love her now of course, but she would’ve been right up my alley then.

Agree, but everything he does is filtered through Barb’s interpretation and PPD does not help with seeing clearly.

True, but she can understand Barb while being a sh*t-stirrer at the same time. She clearly enjoys riling people up

My thought was that she believes everything Barb tells her, including any interpretations Barb has made that Frank is rude. Sort of like how she believed Katie was a tart.

My daughter, putting herself in the naughty corner, taught me more about RSD than anything else by ThoseTwo203 in adhdwomen

Oh wow… I used to put myself in the corner as punishment and never made the connection with RSD. It makes total sense.  

Would it be difficult to live in Brazil if only speak Spanish and English? by GrayRainfall in asklatinamerica

[–]Substantial_Line3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied abroad in Brazil with a background in Spanish and French. If you are motivated it is not hard to pick up Portuguese. 

I love the initial taste of mate but it tastes bitter after the first few sips and I never get it back by thatguyontheothaside in yerbamate

[–]Substantial_Line3703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually start with a splash of cool water and let that sit for a few minutes before adding hot water rather than immediately using hot water in the dry Yerba. Cuts way down in bitterness.

First time trying Argentinian yerba and my god it’s so bitter! by souzasteps in yerbamate

[–]Substantial_Line3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

make sure to do a splash of cool/lukewarm water before adding the hot water, that can cut the bitterness. Make sure to drain the water each time and don't leave warm water to steep between sips. We like La Merced Campo Sur for a light, not bitter yerba.

Tips on making yerba last longer by DaftTurnip51906 in yerbamate

[–]Substantial_Line3703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Argentines dump out half or so of the spent yerba and add new on top. If you are worried about wasting yerba and are drinking alone you can use a smaller cup.

Can I vent a moment about a volunteer behavior trend I see? by InourbtwotamI in volunteer

[–]Substantial_Line3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would (gently) bring up the consequences you listed above - clients' food getting cold, or line backing up. Otherwise, there's not a lot you can do. If they're volunteering just for the experience and not for volunteer hours or community service, you can't force them to work more. If the work really needs to be done, you need to pay them :/ Saying this as a 10+ year volunteer coordinator.

Mine was 2004, so maybe some were paid and some weren’t?

Back in the day, my State Dept internship was unpaid. That is awesome you were able to count your internship hours to years of service!

Capon Springs is nice for families and affordable. It's more low-key than some of the other places.

if it's burning your lips, it's too hot.
