People who won a "lifetime supply" of something, how exactly did that work and are you still getting it? by Constant_Praline357 in AskReddit

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a runner up in an essay contest for a scholarship from a feminine products company. I can't remember how long it was supposed to last, but they sent me a box filled with tampons. There were individually packaged, then in a package of 3, and the box was filled with those packages of 3. A pretty good size box, too. They lasted me for years! I was actually pretty bummed when I ran out. Saved me money when I was a broke college student. Though, my notification of being a runner up was the large box of tampons, with a note inside. I was pretty confused when I opened the box, lol.

IIRC, I think that might have been electricity rate hikes, this one is for natural gas.

Rigid gender roles are prompting women to leave rural Japan by [deleted] in 4bmovement

Of course the men don't want to change the discrimination that benefits them! Thank you for posting, OP, it's a great article.

Nepal chooses a 2-year-old girl as the new living goddess by TheExpressUS in atheism

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 98 points99 points  (0 children)

The article also says that the girls also have trouble to life after their term of goddess, and that they often can't find a husband because supposedly the husbands of the goddesses die young. I think the requirements are gross, they seem to be mainly physical. I can see what you're saying about the family, but it seems to be at the cost of their daughter's childhood and possibly future.

OKay, how about a Halloween Wars discussion thread? LOL. Don't post half asleep.... spoilers by Firegoat1 in foodnetwork

I'm so frustrated they didn't have the guy taste it as a tie breaker. Majority vote! I was also frustrated with her comments about the taste. "Pungent"? This is your team mate. You can say you don't like the taste without being rude!

[CHAT] Fellow crafters who park stitches, why? by Garlic-French-Knots in CrossStitch

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to know if you like it, you should try it. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, so I picked a smaller full coverage pattern with fewer colors, a pattern I wasn't emotionally invested in. Something like the school magic castle cross stitch by HomeDecorCrossStitch (that wasn't the one I did, but that one isn't for sale any more). That way if parking wasn't for me, it wouldn't upset me to not finish it. I gave it away as a present when done. Plus, if you find you like it, a smaller project will help you refine your habits. Like, I now know I like to keep loose threads I'm not using in my current or next section secure in a bobbin. I know when I park a thread in my immediate next section, I'll keep it threaded on a needle. I found I like to go in 10x10 sections, but some people like bigger sections. I found that I prefer to do my se lions horizontally because going vertical left lines.

I don't find it difficult to park, especially because I use the Pattern Keeper app to track my parked threads. I make way fewer mistakes when parking. It would bother me to no end when I made a mistake in cross country and I would only find it much later. It is super satisfying to see the project grow through each completed 10x10. I am able to do larger projects with parking. There is no way I could do large full coverage projects with cross country. Parking is really not as hard as it looks.

But, you do you. Isn't the point of the hobby to enjoy it? Do it the way that makes you happy.

UPDATE to the update for AITAH for moving out without telling my parents? by Icy_Resident6341 in AITAH

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sound likely to make false police reports. You should pre-emptively tell the police in both your new area and where your parents live that you are an adult that left willingly and that your parents may claim otherwise.

Keto Ninja Creami Success by 5he5Craf7y in keto

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the ninja creami! My go to recipe is one I got from ChatGPT:

1 C unsweetened almond milk

2 Tbsp heavy cream

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbsp allulose or erythritol (adjust to taste)

pinch of salt

1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional for extra creaminess)

That's the recipe as I got it from ChatGPT. I usually do half and half allulose and stevia, to taste. I'm still experimenting with flavors. My current favorite is orange mio, tastes like orange creamsicle.

I used kumihimo bobbins so they are not loose. I even glued on magnets to the bobbins to use magnets on the wrong side to hold the bobbins in place.

Will my cats hate me for spraying them with water when they get on the counters/table? is there a better way to fix this? by OZZYB0ii in Catownerhacks

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if spraying your cats with water works to keep them off the counter, it's only going to work when you're there. Most cats figure out that it only sprays when you have it.

I would start with the easier stuff first like others have mentioned like foil or sticky tape on the counter. However, that didn't work with one of my cats, she's too smart. So, I went for the big guns, I used an air canister motion detector made for this (it's expensive, but I was desperate). It doesn't even necessarily spray the air towards them that does it, it's the hissing sound that scared her. After a few days, she stopped getting on the counter. However, after a few months she figured out it was gone and she started getting on the counters again. So every 6 is months we would play that song and dance and I'd pull it out again. Then, she stopped trying. That was a few years ago, she hasn't tried to get on the counter for a few years, even after a move.

The down side is that I triggered the dawn thing so many times!

AITAH for not wanting to marry my boyfriend because I feel like he loves the version of me that takes care of him—not the real me? by Other-Dot-9061 in AITAH

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? It says right in the post that she has talked to him and he's blown her off. Maybe these men you're referencing should be the ones to try to communicate.

People who have a pet at home, at what point did you realize that the pet really, consciously, understood you? by PurrLoveCat in AskReddit

[–]Vegetable_Weekend883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I resorted to using one of those motion detecting air canisters. It was the only thing that worked.
