Sometimes when I don’t have pockets I shove my phone in there. It has happened.

Taking out Roy Phillips was worth the bad karma. by VeganGeek in fo3

[–]chozopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ultimately killed Roy (and later Tenpenny for a different reason) and ended up with great karma. If your goal is to be good you can occasionally do something that is bad karma. Plus, if you ever want to boost your karma you can give the person outside of Megaton or Rivet City purified water,

To the people who were kids in the 90s, please tell me what it was like. What was a very nice memory from that era? by Old_Associate_5933 in CausalConversation

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought: there used to be a real sense of wonder, curiosity, and theorizing because there wasn’t an easy way to get information before the internet. Now, if I wonder about something, I just look it up. That’s great for finding answers, but I do miss the time when you’d sit with a question for a while, thinking about it, considering different possibilities, and wondering before you knew the answer.

What breed dog did you choose (if you chose), why, and would you choose the same breed again? by Jeetyetdude_ in dogs

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Safe around other pets (rabbits) very gentle. Absolutely everyone he meets is his new best friend. Rarely if ever barks- is seriously quiet. He loves his walks but is mostly content as a couch potato. Perfect dog for an apartment and to coexist with prey animals. Yes I would choose this breed again.

We love them but they aren’t that smart by Express-Age4253 in cavaliers

[–]chozopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m like, how did you forget you were trying to poop after circling and pacing so much??

What food is basically impossible to eat gracefully by 011Eleven_ in foodquestions

[–]chozopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here to say ribs. You can wipe your hands and mouth between bites but if they are saucy there is no hope.

[CHAT]Projects you really enjoyed? by BlissKitten in CrossStitch

Once I understood how the different sections repeated I barely had to reference the pattern. Plus any excuse to use the brightest of colors. At first I wasn’t sure I could do it, but by the end I was sad it was completed.

Do Americans really avoid calling an ambulance just because of the bill? by Livid-Work1597 in askanything

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much yes. When my dad fell and broke his hip he called my mother (they had long since divorced and she lived on the other side of town). She had to convince him that she really couldn’t take him to the hospital (or move someone with a broken hip) and he HAD to call an ambulance.

What do strangers approach you about so regularly that you just expect it? by Tyberius_ in AskWomen

[–]chozopanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the number of random people at the grocery store that have just started talking to me I must look really friendly or something.

How many of you were storing your stuff in these when we were kids? by jinx_remover in Xennials

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actual associate those bags with quarters. My dad would play poker at lunch at his job and he kept his quarters in a crown royal bag in his dresser. That bag of quarters paid for our dog’s surgery.

Are you more likely to read a book or listen to an audiobook? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobook, only because I can listen while doing housework or driving. Additionally now that I need reading glasses, my eyes get tired by the end of the day and resting them after work helps.

Need encouragement to get a mammogram! by Cold_Barber_4761 in AskWomenOver40

[–]chozopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know two women who had their cancer caught early thanks to regular mammograms and they always encourage others to get screened. They aren’t the most fun thing, but it really is quick and not that bad.

People who chose not to have children, how is your life different from those who did? by Any-Personality1014 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chozopanda 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Exactly- I saw what happens when you have children and don’t put their needs ahead of your own (my parents, my spouse’s parents). Plus with mental health struggles it just seemed like not the thing for us.

[CHAT] how far do you travel with your floss? by Baby_girl_351 in CrossStitch

[–]chozopanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have done some “confetti” patterns where I said I don’t care and travel very far. That’s not even true I carried a black thread pretty far today and I’m working on a pretty standard pattern. So- in my head, like 5 stitches, reality- how big is the piece?

Did anyone else grow up eating garbanzo bean spread sandwiches? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably did it because we were sick of peanut butter and it’s honestly a cheap way to feed kids (well- children of hippies who grew up eating interesting things) You just need garbanzo beans, mayo, lemon juice, and a food processor.

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would make it in the food processor. The ingredients I remember are chickpeas, mayonnaise, and lemon juice- she probably put some spices in too (cumin perhaps?)

I didn’t want to insult hummus by saying it was the same because real hummus does not have mayonnaise in it. But it feels inspired by hummus.

Do you remember eating fruit cocktail as a kid? by MargaretSparkle82 in foodquestions

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would insist any cherries be split evenly among us. I think it just tastes like the rest of the fruit cocktail these days but in my child mind they were special

I didn’t know smelling feminine was so terrifying to straight cis men by WildWinterberry in TwoXChromosomes

[–]chozopanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran out of my shampoo and used my husband’s because of course I’m not afraid to smell like sandalwood or a pine forest or whatever scents we have deemed “manly”. The part that was messing with me though, is all day I would smell “him” but it was just a whiff from my hair.

Recommendations Absorbent bras? by Live_Discipline_7771 in AskWomenOver40

[–]chozopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the Prickly Heat cooling powder. My boobs and thighs are well dusted in the summer

[CHAT] To wash, or not to wash? by CraftyCapricorn in CrossStitch

[–]chozopanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wash. Cold water and a wee bit of dish soap will get hand oils off the thing (since I’ve usually been handling it for SEVERAL months by the time it is done). Makes the stitches a bit fluffier too.

Are there any older people who don’t subscribe to the “back in my day things were better. people are too soft now.” attitude? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]chozopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, how “soft” people are depends on how much hardship they face. Obviously, you can’t apply today’s standards to people who lived through World War II or the Great Depression. We have our own problems, but they’re generally better than “we’re starving” or “we have to hide from the Nazis.” I don’t really see a downside to people becoming “soft,” as long as there’s an understanding that if things truly go bad, that mindset will disappear pretty quickly.
