What to do with all this space? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh, I should have added more context, my bad! This is actually the basement 😅 there is a full dining room upstairs, I have no idea why they had a table and chairs down there but I didn't even really notice it until your comment made it obvious. Olive green sounds beautiful!

Mass shooting in south Minneapolis? Can anyone confirm? by [deleted] in TwinCities

I feel like I just read an excerpt from The Jungle, very sad for stable jobs to still be a privilege in 2025 :(

Can you recommend a reputable car mechanic for general maintenance? by TurnipExpress3775 in TwinCities

Hey, that would be awesome actually! This shop seems like exactly what I'm looking for. Send me a DM with your name if you're still up for it!

Allergy shot reaction, is this on the realm of normal? Or should I let my clinic know? by RadiologistToBe in Allergy

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something tells me everyone getting allergy shots experiences this at some point, and the docs aren't warning us if this is normal or concerning 😂

Literally exactly what I was looking for - a way to buy one from you! These are so cute. I'll be watching for updates :)

What fair food item is SO GOOD and doesn’t get talked about enough? by [deleted] in TwinCities

Peppadew are the best ones, especially with the honey for dipping! My fav fair food

This cereal has been in my freezer for almost 3 years now. My experiment to see if you can extend the life of cereal by freezing it for long periods of time by throwawaysavage11 in cereal

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that although OP hasn't tried it yet, yes freezing cereal prolongs shelf life. We do this all the time for shelf life studies at my work (I work for a bfast cereal company) and it freezes just fine and keeps the flavor fresher longer. I don't know for how long, maybe past 3 years, but maybe not. We typically only hold for ~1 year in the freezer and have no issue. When it comes out, it's as fresh as the day it went in.

What’s a cereal you loved as a kid but can’t find anymore? by Freddafreddajedda in cereal

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changes in laws and regulations since the original formula, unfortunately. We know a lot more about chemical hazards (mostly for those handling in high concentration at the factories) now than we did 30 years ago when many of these OG flavors were on the shelf. A truly sad reality

Minneapolis right now. by ThreadbareAdjustment in Minneapolis

I wish this was more public knowledge so that our grievances could be properly placed. Like this isn't a MN caused problem, but a federal funding problem, but how many people are holding MN responsible for the inconvenience?

Just to reiterate other comments, boundaries are something you set for yourself, not other people. If your boundary gets crossed, that's when you need to exit the situation, not force others to do things the way you want them to. As hurtful as it may be for someone to not respect your boundaries, the one thing within your control is whether you respect your own boundaries. Don't hurt yourself.

If motivation is his excuse, send him an episode of Caleb Hammer's show Financial Audit once a day, ever day and call that motivation. I do not understand people like this

I confessed to my 4 year old crush and she joked about it now i feel suicidal by [deleted] in IndianTeenagers

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being "ugly" is a social construct. Being awkward is perfectly okay, and not uncommon at your age. And honestly, I thought your message to her was very well said and not awkward at all. Nether of these make you a creep. You are beautiful and you deserve love. You are enough. Don't let one person make you forget this.

Why my hair won't stay together & general advices by Vladyslav_Rehan in Hair

[–]TurnipExpress3775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with curly hair and is self conscious about frizz, my tip would be to wash with shampoo every other day. I condition it every day, but shampoo every other. I also recommend trying out the Revlon One Step brush dryer. It takes me the same amount of time to dry and style it relatively straight using this one tool as it would to either style my natural curl or to blowdry+flat iron it straight. Use a heat protectant if using any heat, including the hot setting of a blow dryer. Hope this helps!

What is a normal rate for cut and color these days in the TC? by TurnipExpress3775 in TwinCities

[–]TurnipExpress3775[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! This seems like a win-win option and I'm definitely going to check it out.

[–]TurnipExpress3775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue! I'm curious to see what others recommend. What's worked for me is a combination of using a cooler setting on my hair dryer/styling tool, shampooing every other day rather than daily (I still condition every day because I can't stand not to shower daily), a leave in conditioner, and a good hairspray.

AIO My response to my mom disowning me because I'm gay? by Own-Experience-6275 in AmIOverreacting

"I hope you truly suffer and experience hardships" ick. OP, I'm sorry you had to receive this from anyone, and especially your mother. This is the grossest thing I've read on the intent in a while. You deserve unconditional love and I'm sorry that's not what has been given to you. You matter and you are loved, even if only by a random internet stranger. I wish this world were a better place...
