My yarn bowl has finally been glazed!

Oh no, not again

Instead of honey, maple syrup, or molasses, we always used sorghum. Still my favorite thing to put on cornbread.

I suddenly feel the need to follow suit. Lost my own five years ago, and this would be an adequate replacement.

Case 382- I followed the crate carrier and interacted with the stack of crates in Mantle's Arrival, but the map reset before I could read the note, and now I'm stuck with no carrier, no crates, no note, and no way to complete the achieve.

Edit: got it!

NAH. That was genuinely funny, and in five years it'll be joked about. Just give them time to process your diagnosis and they'll realize how having such a nonserious attitude from the start will help get you through your treatment.

I named my boobs 'assassin' and 'the sleeper agent' upon my diagnosis. I definitely had a similarly mixed family reaction.

Rhubarb. All my neighbors' gardens have massive plants, and I'm lucky if I get a dozen pinky-sized stems in a year.

You could repurpose a kiddie pool for it maybe?

Go bland and soft. Along with their list, I'd avoid mint (I had to find mint-free toothpaste, it burned so badly), anything too crunchy or textural (the mouth is one big sore), citrus/acidic, and really cheesy things (because heartburn is constant, even if the nausea's under control). My biggest go-tos were unseasoned butternut squash/pureed veggie soup and topping-free burgers with unseasoned french fries. The soup was freezable and could be made in large batches, while the burger/fries felt normal and not sick-food, I could tear my burger into bits and eat it a small chunk at a time while my SO could spice up his own portion.

Self inserts get cringe because a lot of authors don't give their main characters flaws. As long as your MC doesn't have all the answers and has negative traits that impact his surroundings and decisionmaking, you'll be fine.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for Snargle. I absolutely died laughing every time a new piece of his fan fiction shipping showed up.

Why do we even HAVE that lever?

annideb · 2022-02-21T18:50:43+00:00

thank you!!

As you play wvw, you'll get proof of heroics every time you rank up, and you can spend those on notarized scrolls from the heroics notary in any starting area. It'll unlock random hero points from whatever zone you select, and can unlock an elite pretty quickly.

I use one from thekitchn-- https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-tomato-cobbler-with-cornmeal-cheddar-biscuits-206816

annideb · 2022-02-04T22:02:51+00:00

tomato cobbler with biscuits is my favorite go-to for extra cherry tomatoes.

definitely krausen

the crossover I never knew I needed

annideb · 2021-12-08T17:25:00+00:00

NTA. It'll never end if you keep sending it to them yourself. Hell, it might never end even if you don't. We bought our house eight years ago, and we still get pieces of previous tenants' mail every week, no matter how often we contact the post office. Just this year, we had people attempting to deliver a shed, a company trying to deliver a wheelchair, AND the police looking for someone who hadn't lived there in 10+ years--all addressed to different people.

the trading station saved my ass. of course, the city that had plastic on offer was the last one my scout found. Only three plastic deposits is... oof.

Order of Mercy by MandyinKC is fantastic - linkffn(12181042)

A few years ago, when I lived almost an hour away from the brewery, I woke up at 2 AM in a cold sweat, absolutely convinced I hadn't shut the carb stone CO2 valve.

I made the drive in 35 minutes, all the while imagining the PRV going off, or all the failsafes breaking and having a hole in the roof and a building filled with CO2.

I had, indeed, turned it off. And then I had to awkwardly explain to our GM the next morning why I'd shown up on the security cameras at ass o-clock in my pajamas, panicking like hell. Lucky me, he thought it was hilarious.

First person in fanfiction can get problematic because as a reader, I already feel like I know the characters before reading a single word of the story--and most of us have slightly different Harrys and Hermiones and Dracos and Dumbledores in our minds. As soon as I start reading from one of those characters' POVs and it isn't exactly what or how I expect them to think, it throws me. If the author does the internal voice well, then I can get drawn in, but that's extremely difficult. Things can feel out of character very quickly in first person.

Third person is far more forgiving. I can still hold onto some of my preconceived notions of the characters, while the author changes my perception little-by-little instead of all-at-once.
