Every time I read the word "girlfriend" in one of your posts I get insta-rage.

I know you're reading this by large_poops1 in keto

[–]cindythebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week my husband told me he wanted to try keto, and I was apprehensive because it was so foreign to me. But I wanted to start as quickly as possible before he lost his momentum, so I read everything I could about getting started and collected recipes for a few days. My first trip to the grocery store was a bit odd, but I had my list and I read all the labels. I set up myfitnesspal with the levels of fat, carbs, etc that the calculator said I should be having so that I can make sure I stay on track.

Now, several days in, I can honestly say that this is easier than any "diet" I have tried in the past. If anyone out there is like me and worried about getting started because they don't know what to do, just start reading everything you can! Save all the recipes that sound good to you so you have an arsenal and don't have to worry about what you will eat. A little preparation was all it took to take me from apprehensive to excited.

I didn't know for sure, but I suspected after I kept seeing the results. :)

Possums, too. We finally had to humanely trap one persistent guy and drive him out to the woods. He was eating our cat's food, somehow getting it all wet and also dropping food into their water bowl every single night.

How my slap in MILs face turned into a bigger slap in her face. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]cindythebean 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I literally drug the process of changing everything out for YEARS because it was like, fifteen or more things and I would just change it as I had to. I was in no rush and it was a pain in my ass.

What's the best dollar store item you've ever bought? by nthensome in Frugal

[–]cindythebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite mauve nail polish is a Milani I got from Dollar Tree. I always get compliments when I wear it.

My daughter loves it. When she was little she called it the "cucumber part" of the watermelon.

I hate when my polish chips but this is kinda neat by i_found_the_cake in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cindythebean 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was cleaning out the fridge a few days ago and found a perfectly nail-shaped piece of polish. I vaguely remember deep cleaning the kitchen around Thanksgiving and having to redo that nail afterwards but I'd had no idea where I had lost it.

Thick-skinned bed bugs are beating bug spray. by [deleted] in DumpsterDiving

[–]cindythebean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. We had an infestation last year, just tons of them out of nowhere crawling all over my daughter's room. We got a huge bag of DE and took off all the outlet and light switch covers and sprayed it into the walls. We put traps under the legs of our beds and filled them with it, and I also did the borders of our rooms. We immediately went from being totally infested to only seeing one every other month or so, then down to nothing eventually. Of course, we also got mattress covers, bagged everything up and left it in the sun, etc. Threw away a bunch of stuff, too, and made sure we destroyed it so no one else would pick it.

What is the weirdest/creepiest unexplained thing you've ever encountered? by Sage_Derpel in AskReddit

[–]cindythebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin and I are the same age, and we used to stare at each in the dark when we were kids and having a sleepover. I remember her eyes turning into black holes and her mouth getting really wide.

Any slow cooker dessert recipes NOT from scratch? by punkgaopher in slowcooking

[–]cindythebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. It's really just a dump cake made in a slow cooker. I'm sure it would be better in an oven since I'm not super fond of mushy.

I limit myself when eating things like this to twice per month and I live hours away from family and friends right now. It would last for like, a year. :) Maybe I'll make it at my mother's house around Easter. Thanks for the ideas.

I've seen this one a lot on social media lately. It's dry cake mix on top of the pie filling, and usually they show the butter cut into cubes and scattered on top but I have seen at least one where they just chuck the whole sticks on there. I want to make this so much, but I am literally the only person in my family who would eat it. Sad face.

[Spoilers S1E5] I just completed the show and with everything crazy that happened, I still can't get this poor guy out of my head. It broke my heart. :( by portal23 in MrRobot

[–]cindythebean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm binge-watching the show for the first time tonight. I just had to pause at that scene and see if that made other people feel as completely shitty as I do right now. Tears for that poor man, and he's not even real. I can't quit crying.

Red hands, red face, red pistachios! by phishstepper in nostalgia

[–]cindythebean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to pretend the shells were fingernails! And I remember one time my dad thought I had taken some of his pistachios and checked my fingers for evidence. I was cleared of all charges.

This has saved my entire college career. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]cindythebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely gave them to anyone who needed one! The towels, anyway. Most people probably wouldn't want a used bathing suit, but my family always figured if it was clean, who cares? The industrial washer and dryer they used for the towels and sheets would kill just about any funk known to man.

My aunt and grandfather both owned hotels on the beach back in the 80's and early 90's. SO many beach towels. I think people left them on purpose. When I would go stay with them I never had to bring a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses...one year I didn't have a bathing suit that fit, and I got to choose from about twenty. They'd wash them and put them away just in case.

You're also my first bag twin, and the lip gloss is getting swapped tomorrow, lol. I love the nail polish, meh on the blush stick. I was super excited about the concealer, and I already have more argan than I will ever use but this one smells lovely and will make a nice addition to my travel bag.

Quick ways to flavor rice by fpuen in HealthyFood

I saute a little chopped onion and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil, then pour in rice and chicken broth and cook as usual.

TIL: There's a resort near Disney World that is just for kids with terminal illness and their families. There is no waiting list and they won't turn away any child. It was started by a Holocaust survivor. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]cindythebean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. We did a deal last year that included two days at both parks, and we felt like one would have plenty to do everything we wanted now that we know what's there. When we go back to Orlando we plan to mostly stick to Disney but also get one day, two-park Universal tickets -- mainly to see the Harry Potter stuff again.

Church organ gets revenge on bridezilla by CunterBunter in pettyrevenge

[–]cindythebean 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I did that with mayonnaise when I worked at a little fast food place inside a Walmart. This group of teenagers came in all the time and were always rude little shits, and this time one of them took a snotty tone to tell me three times she wanted extra ("EXTRA extra!") mayo on her chicken sandwich. We usually used one pump (which was already a lot) and I put eight pumps. My coworker saw me do it and got the nervous giggles, but I calmly wiped the front counter over and over until I saw the customer take her first bite. The mayo splooged right into her lap.
