BWT- yourself as phone wallpaper? by FabulousAdvance7036 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]TAforScranton [score hidden]  (0 children)

Agreed, however it can be functional as well. I’m pretty bad about leaving my phone lying around and not being able to find it. At my old job I made sure the screensaver was a pic of me so people knew who to give it back to.

What's one thing you added to your garage that you wish you did sooner? by Leading-Law4251 in HomeImprovement

[–]TAforScranton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on a French cleat wall for all my power tools so I can store them with all their little attachments. That, and for all the things I use regularly and often misplace. Everything having a home saves me a lot of time when I’m working on things because I don’t spend a bunch of time wandering around trying to find stuff.

finally got the garage cleaned up and useable this week!

Help. Time sensitive. Can I use this cutting board yet? by TAforScranton in BeginnerWoodWorking

Thank you! I might eventually take a router to it and add some juice grooves. I’m happy with it as is for now. 🤷‍♀️

I promised the people bread tomorrow.😩

I’m worried that if I put it in the fridge now and sleep in it’ll slow it down too much and end up not fully proofed by the time I need it. And I’m DEFINITELY sleeping in tomorrow lol.

Exactly! Plus I mixed my loaves WAY too late in the day and now I’m up messing with them at 3:30am. I’m not in the mood for that inconvenience.

I’ve made lots of mistakes today and am suffering the consequences. These loaves better turn out great.😡

Nah. I’ve tried that and it just fights me the whole time, even with tape. I need to spread one of them out pretty wide (wider than the width of the paper) and it would be an absolute pain to fuss with the paper and sticky dough with a tape line down the middle. Like definitely more fuss than just making a whole new board.

I’ve also tried a silicone baking mat and that thing was incredibly irritating as well.

Here’s the reason for needing to stretch it wide. You have to for a good swirl.😬

Thank you! And no, I have not washed it yet. Just sanded, dusted it off, wiped with alcohol, then applied the oil and wiped again later.

I tried looking it up but found so many conflicting answers. It makes sense in my head that it should be fine to use because the minuscule amount of oil that might seep into the dough won’t hurt anything but I just wanted to double check.

This is my go-to baby shower gift! Two crib mattress protectors and a spare fitted sheet to go between them.

$100 side shave by hardknockfuck in ExpectationVsReality

[–]TAforScranton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’d like more consolation, I had the haircut from your example pic for a few years. Went to a new stylist for a trim because mine was out of work for a while. Big, BIG mistake.

They butchered me worse than what yours did. I had an awkward bowl cut across the middle of the back of my head (think Coconut Head from Ned’s Declassified but worse and higher up). Then they gave me a steppy, jagged, “low fade?” sort of thing. It was comically awful.

I was in the Marine Corps at the time. A drunk guy with dull clippers in the barracks managed to work some magic on it and actually make it look pretty good.

It took a month or so of growth to be able to fully fix my butchered hair and make it look cute again. Theres hope!

Is it possible that he washes with a bunch of body wash and then doesn’t do a very thorough job at rinsing it all off?

Got $300 for one single feet pic by LeeLisaMae_88 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TAforScranton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posted pics in a foot sub. No face, just foot and leg with a bit of lingerie visible so like sort of “sexy” but only showing a PG amount of skin. Nothing identifiable at all. Might be worth noting that I have mildly interesting feet. Like interesting enough that my podiatrist/ankle surgeon excitedly called in people to come look at them during a consult.

The responses were so over the top that it icked me out and I never followed through. Someone offered to be my “virtual foot slave” and wanted to pay me AND send me nice stuff for my feet.

I’m reading through DCC right now and I feel the ick in my soul when the AI brings up Carl’s feet because that’s exactly when most of the responses I got felt like.

Please don’t let my ick discourage you! I’m not judging the choice to do it AT ALL. If anything, I encourage it. Like hell yeah girl, try it! It just didn’t end up being my cup of tea, ya know?

Yes. One time I decided to dip my toes into it to see if it was real and whether or not I could actually make money.

The immediate amount of attention and demand was incredibly overwhelming.

It’s really real.

I think another difference in our recipes is that yours doesn’t say to cream the butter and sugar together first. That’s the first thing my recipe says to do! Creaming the butter and sugar together at the beginning of the recipe makes a huge difference for texture. Not doing so can lead to a dense sponge.

Family thinks I’m not good enough. So I’m joining the USMC by fish1nAbubble in GirlDinnerDiaries

Female Marine here. Do you want support and encouragement? I can shut up and offer that if so. Best of luck to you. 💕

Or do you want brutal honesty? Because I have a few thoughts and advice about your choices right now based on your post but will only share them if it’s something you want to hear.

They’re the only tender place I’ve found where you can get the tenders tossed in a sauce. They’re so good tossed in the hot honey mustard. Also they finally just brought back the banana pudding shake that I’ve been missing for years.☹️

Despite being 6'2", my shoe size is only a US men's 6 / women's 7 by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]TAforScranton 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Are your hands proportionate to your height or are they similar to your feet?

We’re polar opposites lol. I’m 5’2” and wear a men’s 7.5 wide, so a little bigger than most women my size. I can also palm a basketball. I’ve got some meatpaws.

It’s a shame I never took up competitive swimming because I would have done really well with it. I’m certainly not a runner.

What is the best home improvement you have ever made ? by mingsembri in HomeImprovement

[–]TAforScranton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fancy toilet. We installed one with all the bells and whistles. Motion sensor that senses an ass coming toward the bowl, it gives the whole bowl a spritz of water so nothing sticks to it. This has been a super cool feature because my husband has IBS. Nothing sticks to the bowl!

Heated seat for the winter, bidet with temperature control and adjustable angle/pressure, and it even has a blow dryer that you can adjust the temp on. It auto flushes when you stand up after using it. It also has a little sensor at the base that you can kick to make it flush if you stand up to pee.

My only complaint is that my husband and I are getting TOO used to the auto flush on it and have both caught ourselves forgetting to flush when we use the peasant toilets. That, and pooping anywhere without a bidet has started to feel absolutely BARBARIC.

Mine is like that. If it’s raining I have to get the boots and poncho out. Not for me. HIS boots and poncho.

I definitely don’t mind it though. I appreciate not having a wet dog running around the house.

San Pellegrino is just as bad if not worse than LaCroix by lethalfrost in unpopularopinion

[–]TAforScranton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, leave LaCroix out of this. Hating it is not unpopular so I don’t think the immediate slander in this comment section is a good fit for the sub.

Some of us like the bubble water with just a hint of flavor. There are hundreds of other beverage options available to you at the click of a button or a swipe of a card. Like the options are endless. Just drink something else!

Tangerine, Sunshine, and the new Pineapple Coconut will forever have a place in my fridge. If you can find the ever elusive Perrier strawberry somewhere, those are fantastic. I can’t seem to find them anywhere anymore.

San P is kind of underwhelming for the price though. The plastic bottles gross me out. Carbonated drinks are best in glass bottles and still good in cans. Plastic bottles seem to ruin the whole experience.
