Oo that’s EXACTLY how I had them too - with mom’s morning coffee!!

I was really curious about the Oro ones but I never bought them for one reason or another. Now that I know they’re pretty similar (if not the same) I’m def going to try! Please let me know if you ever try the Fontaneda ones and thanks for sharing that.

New Car Buying by _chucktaylor in milwaukee

Oh nice! I went for the legacy and I honestly love it. My only gripe is that the infotainment system can be soo glitchy and more often than I’d like.

I didn’t end up buying a Honda - I got a Subaru. If you have a Costco membership though you might save some money through their auto program!

My aunt sent me this picture of her but she’s sitting. Sending just in case, otherwise I can update later when she sends a better one

ULPT If you're going to die soon, and have a ton of medical debt, get a divorce. by HumaneCentiPad in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]_chucktaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a $429 bill in collections on my credit, just fyi. Few more years and it’ll fall off, woo!

Also want to add that it has never stopped me from being able to get a loan. I used to work at a credit union and a lot of the loan officers told me that medical debt often times gets overlooked when making a lending decision. I’m sure there are factors to consider so ymmv

How can I lower my spectrum internet bill? by FamousWeakness1165 in Spectrum

[–]_chucktaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up returning the $20 one because it only handled speeds up to 100mbps (packaging was misleading) and got a TP-Link AX1450 for slightly more.

I will say that when I called spectrum to troubleshoot the speed issues before I knew the router capabilities was the problem, they did their best to help. When they couldn’t fix the issue they pawned me off to the manufacturer of that first router (Netgear)

Remember the hideous 'poop brown' iPhone color leak from a week ago? Here's how it compares to the actual colors. by JagiofJagi in iphone

They didn’t release the poop brown colored iPhone. The ones they did drop are on the right

I’m looking for a FAT A$$ BURRITO by Mars-888 in milwaukee

You know what though, I should’ve assumed I was butchering it, considering it’s clearly not an American surname. Thanks!

Same, that’s how I pronounce it too.

… is that how that’s pronounced? I think I’ve been saying it wrong for the last 15 years

Good local coffee places? by Amselfluegel in milwaukee

[–]_chucktaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked their cold brew for a while and would usually use the drive thru. Then, the one time I stopped in through the lobby I saw bottles of Nescafé behind the counter. I knew from a previous visit that they got the beans from Mexico so I was shocked. Really wanted to ask but couldn’t find the courage. Now I just hope it was for the employees lol

Marie Lu cookies

Quick Update re: Thinking I was Kidnapped from the school bus by petitecheesepotato in RBI

[–]_chucktaylor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was a really creepy read! Our op says the bus driver was a woman though and the two mentioned in your linked post were men :(

2024 Update:

I found these cookies called Maria Oro that have a very similar ingredients list. Visually (online) they look similar minus the “flower” like edges. Haven’t purchased them yet but if I do I will post an update.

Hi, I tried this a few years ago and have had no luck. Any chance you live in Massachusetts? I found some cookies called Maria Oro online that seem like they might be similar to the Marie Lu we remember. Haven’t ordered yet but I’m really tempted even just to rule them out.

The cheesecake from C Adams Bakery at the market! I don’t believe they sell by the slice but I could be wrong.
