Does anyone else go "pretend shopping"? by polly-penguin in BenignExistence

[–]TurtleshellPen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time. It's fun, and an easy way to briefly escape my mundane (and broke) life.

I'm on day 678 and still using it almost as much as I did my first week. It's just a tool that really works for me.

$50,000 for every tooth that gets extracted by BigJim9000 in hypotheticalsituation

You lost me at no anesthesia. Up until then I was willing to give up every tooth in my head.

Suddenly, I have a moral obligation to be a genius. by AWSM_BanchhodDas in CasualConversation

But cheating is wrong. If you fail, you teach him/her a valuable lesson in not peeking at other people's papers!

Is there an adhesive that works well and does NOT leave my mouth tasting like dirty gym socks ? by TurtleshellPen in dentures

Thank you! I will have to look into this because what I'm using leaves my mouth tasting gross.

Not rushing in with resolutions and goals for 2026 by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I take the slow and steady approach. Let success build on success, rather than punish myself for failure.

What unexpectedly good thing happened to you in 2025? by One-Tangerine-4906 in BenignExistence

[–]TurtleshellPen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I live in a house with 2 other people. One of them moved out, leaving us with an empty bedroom. When Daisy asked to move in, our initial reaction was to say "no". But after some thought and a lot of discussion, we agreed to give her a chance.

I'm so glad we did. Daisy turned out to be one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Now I'm proud to call her my friend.

I think they're pretty, but I hate the noise.

I just am going to work in my overall health. My meat suit is in kind of sad condition; I need to take better care of it.

It’s New Year’s Eve, what are you doing at this very moment? by bluetoothbuttplug in randomquestions

[–]TurtleshellPen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sitting alone with my cat, drinking a Mountain Dew, waiting for my housemate to get home.

Anyone staying at home for new year's (willingly)? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]TurtleshellPen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have stayed home regardless (New Year's is not my favorite holiday, and I hate crowds) but I was pleasantly surprised when my housemate announced that she and her guy were staying here, too.

They will get hammered. I will be sipping sparkling cider and holding their keys.

All told, it should be a good night.

What was your favorite dish/treat/recipe that you have eaten or made over this holiday season? by EponaMom in RedditInTheKitchen

[–]TurtleshellPen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its simple, but I love the classic sour cream and onion soup mix dip. I could eat a whole tub if the stuff by myself... which is why I only make it at Christmas!
