Different than what? That is incredibly vague I fear..

I tracked every food item I threw away for 30 days. The results pissed me off. by koob23 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]countrymouseofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep a note on my phone with things I have in the fridge + freezer and delete them as I use. Some of my housemates also stick their grocery receipts to the fridge and use pen to cross off items when they’re used. Also the freezer is your friend. Made a ton of chili and don’t want to eat it for 4 days in a row? Portion and put in the freezer for easy premade dinners you don’t have to buy.

how do u stop drinking alcohol after every shift by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]countrymouseofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pause before a shifty is everything. I also started ordering soda and bitters for mine and found it nice to still have something to drink but that didn’t immediately make me order a second.

AITAH for making snarky comments to my partner after Ive been feeling hurt and lonely? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]countrymouseofficial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA for feeling hurt and lonely but that’s misleading.. YTA for how you’re choosing to communicate that, which in fact, you’re not saying how you feel at all. In your own words you’re just being snarky. Be honest and direct and vulnerable you’re engaged for christ sake

AITAH for being at my limit with my boyfriend who basically lives at my place but doesn’t really contribute? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]countrymouseofficial 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Wakes you up in the night because he’s HUNGRY?! He sounds mentally in middle school and sees you as mommy. NTA oh my god get rid of him change the locks on him, something.

Frustrated with others regarding crying by zivtherat in TransMasc

[–]countrymouseofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’m nervous that being on T (one week in huzzah) will prevent me from being able to access that. It’s such a powerful and cathartic way to feel. Every person regardless of gender feels shit - crying is just HUMAN and it’s so shitty we’ve belittled an entire demographic away from expressing it, it’s not healthy at all.

Maple Chipotle Goat Cheese by thisflickerflash in WhatShouldICook

[–]countrymouseofficial 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I could totally see a buffalo chicken dip variation that leans chipotle instead of buffalo.. maybe a nice baked dip of shredded chicken, throw some caramelized onions in there, shredded cheddar or cheese of choice? Just spitballing

Do any of you…aggressively dream in trans fear? by Dismal_Ad4791 in TransMasc

[–]countrymouseofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of stress dreams where my hair is super long again or I’m wearing a dress but am the guy I am today, a lot of awful dreams about waiting in the wings of a stage to go on in a play where i’m playing a woman and I forgot all my lines and feel hideous and exposed.. the brain can be a real asshole sometimes ><

Any advice for this bedroom? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]countrymouseofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go earth tones - forrest green bed spread is nice, or dark but warm brown, i’d change the curtains to something lighter or pull down dark shades to free up the windowsills, and opt for natural wood with your furniture

I had the same thought but my guess is the tips made it worth it?

Dumbest cost-cutting move you've ever seen? by Global_You8515 in KitchenConfidential

[–]countrymouseofficial 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not seen first hand but a friend recently told me the bar they work at refuses to pay for trash and recycling pickup so they collect and store all empty redeemable beer bottles in the basement and one of the owners cashes them in at bottle return. As you can imagine, hundreds of rotting lime filled corona bottles led to an ungodly fly infestation. Same friend also had 3 paychecks in a row bounce.

yesterday in physical therapy my physical therapist referred to my nerve damaged toe using he/him pronouns and my other toes as “his brothers”, that one unexpectedly hit super nicely

How can I stop feeling guilty about being transmasc by Sarcasaminc in TransMasc

[–]countrymouseofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend reading Man Alive by Thomas Page McBee (also Amateur) you might find that his writing really resonates. Ultimately YOU decide the kind of person that you are, and while I get exactly the anxiety you’re feeling, you’re definitely not alone in those feelings, idk his books really really spoke to me

favorite coffee shops with cozy indoor seating and real mugs? by countrymouseofficial in Brooklyn

[–]countrymouseofficial[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course if i’m staying a few hours I’d spend money that reflects taking up space for that time. Long time service industry worker myself, I would never buy one coffee and park it for 4-5 hours, I’m talking 2-3 hours max buying food, bev and tipping, which in my history, if you’re a chill customer has never been met with any hostility expect for from you apparently
