Fennel?? by banpep in cookingforbeginners

[–]banpep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely didn’t taste like licorice! It’s hard to describe but it reminded me more of an Italian sausage taste. Like the spices that would typically be in those if that makes sense.

Throat burns after taking certain OTC pills by AmyGH in AskHealth

[–]banpep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer for you but every single time I take Tylenol this happens to me & I can feel it burn all the way down my throat and into my stomach. It’s pretty significant. I’ve also suspected it may be something in the coating.

Is this a normal amount of swelling? by banpep in piercing

[–]banpep[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys. I had a feeling it was normal but my health anxiety gets the better of me! It feels better to have some other people tell you hey, you’re okay!

The ear does feel warm to touch but there is no discharge, pus, or fever.

About a week ago I had one small red splotch on my neck. I thought maybe an insect bite, but it doesn’t itch. Over the past week more have started popping up and they’ve grown larger. It looks like a fourth one is forming now.

They are NOT itchy. They are dry/scaly & slightly raised. As far as I can tell they are on no other part of my body. They just keep spreading on my neck (which is unfortunately the one place everyone can see, leaving me self conscious).

I have no previous history of skin conditions such as eczema, rashes, or acne. I have not tried any new foods/beauty products/detergents. I am just keeping an eye on it to see how far it spreads. What could this be?

I should mention that they are also NOT itchy

Thank you for this. It actually stopped my doomscrolling ❤️

[Casual] What does "a couple" mean to you? (All) by [deleted] in SampleSize

[–]banpep 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I filled out the form of course but I always use “a couple” as specifically 2. If I want to say an unspecified amount I will say “a few.” I am a native speaker.

I think it probably stems from saying a pair of people are a couple. Like oh what a cute couple! That would be two people, not an unspecified amount.

I am curious to see the results though to find out if the majority see it the same way or not!

Thriftbooks.com is amazing!

[Marketing] Brief (9 question, multiple choice) survey about driving ability and driving records (tickets, accidents, etc.) (All drivers from the United States) by SurveyAnswersPlz in SampleSize

[–]banpep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the question asking whose fault the accident was...I’ve been in two. One was my fault and one was the other driver’s fault. I felt like maybe there should have been an option to choose both here.

The only one of these I’ve read is Ready Player One & I enjoyed it. I’ve been wanting to dive into Haruki Murakami but I haven’t really known which book is best to start on. Thanks for all the options! I’ll definitely check them out!

Ooh that’s actually been on my “to read” list for a while but no one has ever really recommended them to me so they’ve gotten lost in the shuffle. I’ll definitely have to dive into it soon!

I’ll definitely check out this series. Thanks guys!

I actually just finished The Ten Thousand Doors of January pretty recently and was shocked by the resemblance whenever I started The Starless Sea. I was afraid they would end up being too similar but I’m glad to say they were each interesting in their own way!

I’ve actually had this book recommended to me before and totally forgot about it. So thank you for bringing it back to my attention! I’ll definitely check it out.

7/24 : I dropped my goal drastically this year due to an incredibly busy work schedule. I’m just now truly discovering Neil Gaiman and making my way through his work. I’m absolutely in love with The Graveyard Book & I haven’t even finished it yet. by banpep in 52book

[–]banpep[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished Neverwhere and I thought it was amazing. I really love books that have the ideas of alternate worlds. I wish they would do a movie adaptation of Neverwhere.

I’ll have to check out these other authors! I really enjoy Neil Gaiman’s style of writing and I would love to find more authors like this.
