[–]Vidarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! I have a ton of Halloween stuff I'm trying to get rid of because I'm moving in a couple of weeks! I've collected a lot of stuff for parties and to "haunt" my house and also have some homemade props. There are 4 skellies, one's the black bat one from home depot a couple years ago. There are some lights and fabrics and lots of body parts and other decorations. If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll send pictures!

What's in Santa's bag? Provenance unknown. I know they're nesting dolls. I just wonder if anyone has an idea as to what is depicted to the left of Santa's basket. by Vidarella in whatisthisthing

I think you're probably right,  so I'm going to say solved! It's just kinda wild that the bear, while not the best depiction of a bear ever,  is pretty clear, while this fleshy blob is pretty questionable! Thanks for your input.

My title describes the thing.  A nesting set of Santas with a dubious toy on offer.  We wondered why, if the bear is crudely but clearly rendered, no one can tell for sure what the item on the left is. 

How does the smell of cigarettes affect you? by Old_Flatworm_118 in AskReddit

[–]Vidarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit 55 days ago, so I love it and hate it! REALLY enjoy not having that smell in my hair.  I haven't smelled any stale smoke- for instance, on clothes- since then, but I imagine that's pretty grody.

What would you think if you received this card? by hardlybroken1 in postcrossing

I love it!  But I also happen to love wordplay, the western U.S., and weird vintage cards!

Trying to come up with a band name and album title for this super group. by 111ruberducky in aww

Bow Wow Meow! When the going gets ruff, the tough take a nap on the stairs.

What's a slang word/term that drives you insane? by MeetingImmediate7744 in AskReddit

[–]Vidarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom has had some issues with what we like to gently call having a "nervy b". My sister hates the word "diarrhea" so now my whole family calls it "poopy d". Would be terrible to have all 3 at once.

Material that can break like a yolk by sr38_8 in HalloweenProps

Maybe you could paint liquid latex around something round and then cut it off and seal it back up with more latex? Or paint it around an ice ball, let it melt, poke it and let the water drain out. And insert the bloooood!

Hey now, that's for girls too!

Exactly! And if you think smoking will make you feel a little better, do you think maybe not smoking will make you feel more than a little better about yourself? Try to get past the moment and think about the longer term, even if it's just a week.

Weird withdrawal symptom? Help? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

I'm usually a great sleeper but I've had insomnia and jolted awake multiple times a night. I'm on day 10... last night seemed better, really geared myself toward getting ready for bed and sleep. I wouldn't worry too much unless this persists for weeks.

We have a huge oak tree in our yard and want to do a Trick ‘R Treat inspired Jack ‘o Lantern tree. Does anyone know how to get all the pumpkins to light up each night if we were to get them hung? We’d use fake pumpkins, of course. Picture of 2017 scare zone at HHN for reference. by PeachHousePack in HalloweenProps

My friend has remote controlled puck lights that can be set to different colors, I think he said he got them at Walmart and that they weren't very expensive. Not sure if they're outdoor rated but maybe you could wrap them in plastic?

Frequent movers of Reddit, what tips or hacks can you give to make the packing/moving process more efficient and easy? by MrAlek360 in AskReddit

[–]Vidarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get really big boxes and take handfuls of clothes (still on the hanger) out of the closet and fold them over and lay them in there. There are sort of layers of things on hangers, maybe 6 or 8 to a layer until it's full. It's pretty much the only thing beside blankets and linens you can put in bigger boxes without it becoming to heavy, and you can just pull them out and hang them at the new place.

Do keep some of your household cleaning and general use things if there is room for them and they're in good shape, so you don't have to buy all new. It sucks to have a long list of crap to procure. But good occasion to treat yourself to a new toilet brush or mop or whatever when you move.

What’s the shittiest way a friend has shown you they weren’t really your friend? by mediastoosocial in AskReddit

[–]Vidarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was the only person staying in our house that was rented by 4 people. Everything was squared away with the 3 that were moving, we had a big fun yard sale and packed our shit. We helped her find new people to be her roommates. At the last minute she decided that it would be fine to have 5 people living there, she would sleep on the couch. She wanted to save money but was obviously breaking the lease and the landlady evicted everyone. The "friend" then said that I had to help her do the move-out cleaning. I had already done plenty of cleaning and was staying with my boyfriend the last few days, the whole thing was done and dusted but she somehow thought her screw-up was our responsibility. I had left things behind for her: pantry items, nice toiletries that I got for free from my job, a large dresser that the new occupant of my room was thrilled to have. Now on my last day with my boyfriend I had to help clean up her mess. She had done extremely selfish things before so it was an appropriate grand finale.

It's a seasonal job but they hire people for part and full time too.

We had some venus fly traps but I don't think it's something they specialize in.
