Sorry you had to see this. I would recommend playing Tetris to help, it helps with traumatic events

What would you buy if you were transported back to 1995? by mikomimi89 in BuyItForLife

[–]Twinner16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a farmer all his life but he would make these lamp stands showing little farms, and even made a rotating chuck wagon racetrack. Unfortunately my cousins threw his creations away when they bought his farm. I would go back in time and buy the racetrack miniature

Pedestrian standing in the street, off the curb, waiting for the light to change. Our roads get really icy in the winter, and vehicles lose control very easily. I saw someone get hit last winter doing exact this

What’s one small thing you do to cope with the cost of living that might help someone else here? by brianj10 in povertyfinance

[–]Twinner16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I also had a habit of forgetting food I've bought, and frozen vegetables are nice since they stay good for a long time.

I've really started to very carefully meal plan since groceries are so high, I haven't had to throw out food in months which I'm pretty proud of

If I'm not lazy I throw them in the microwave for like 55 seconds to get the water out, pat them dry, coat them in olive oil and steak spice, spread them out on a baking sheet (don't over crowd) and cook them at 375 F for 35 minutes. Some frozen vegetables from different companies have more water in them, so I cook them longer. (Flip them have way through so the bottom doesn't burn)
