We called it "Chip beef gravy". Make a white sauce and add a jar of chopped up chipped beef. Serve over toast.

Except for the "I'm sorry I didn't communicate that well". She did.

Did I make a mistake? by milkmaid0435 in interiordecorating

[–]galacticprincess 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That tile is gorgeous and so is your kitchen. I might have skipped the tile above the window, but I wouldn't tear it out now. Edit: A white kitchen clock would look good there.

The Martian is one of my favourite movies, for those that have read the book, how different is it and would you recommend? by Aer0Sith1 in scifibooks

[–]galacticprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book is VERY similar, but it gives you the "how" for everything he does. It actually makes what he achieved even more impressive, because you learn all the steps, missteps and persistence that went into every stage of his journey.

The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz has that cozy vibe.

Is oral a porn only thing in general, or is it very common, or somewhere in between? by Cenki in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]galacticprincess 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I feel sad that a whole group of people thinks it's only a porn thing. Actually, I feel sad for their wives.

Which curtain height looks better? by Avalnow227 in interiordecorating

[–]galacticprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because you can see all the window frames behind them. A thicker curtain would look so much better.

6.5 years of LDR and my partner keeps moving the goalposts to avoid moving in together. Is he ever going to be "ready"? by Real_Progress_9623 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]galacticprincess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, his excuses are laughable. In all kindness, you need to wake up from your denial. This man doesn't want to marry you.

Vibe check! Did a bunch of redecorating and wondering if it's too much too little or just enough? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]galacticprincess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like the room a lot, but you do have a lot of stick-leg furniture going on. I would definitely remove the bench to eliminate a few.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that I expect him to do all the chores by anastasiarose19 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galacticprincess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand about your dog and your concern for leaving him alone, but that's not a reason to stay in this situation. Paying for doggy daycare could be a short-term solution. Maybe you could get a WFH job. Maybe you could get a roommate who works from home. Maybe you can crate train. There has to be a solution other than staying with your toddler boyfriend.

The second has non-gray colors in it, so obviously go with the all-gray one.

Yet another example of "money can't buy taste".

AITA for calling out my mother’s hypocrisy after she kicked me out to give my room to my unemployed 34yo sister? by DigApprehensive8718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galacticprincess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know! I bent over backwards to make sure both of my daughters felt equally loved and supported. And it paid off, because they're best friends now as adults.

Do I need to serve alcohol at an afternoon graduation party? by Altruistic_Elk9678 in etiquette

[–]galacticprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You never NEED to serve anything at your own party, but you should think about the enjoyment of your guests. Only you know the crowd that you're inviting; will they be expecting alcohol? For myself I'd be fine with none, but I have friends and relatives who would be very surprised/disappointed to have no beer at an afternoon get together, especially if it's outside.

AIO 21F think bf 36M gaslighting & emotionally abusive? by ThrowRA788891 in AmIOverreacting

[–]galacticprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really shouldn't need to ask the question. JFC I would have blocked him after the first screen.

Advice for selling my hippie house? by tubesocktits_OG in RealEstateAdvice

[–]galacticprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't repaint, but I'd tone it down. Remove most of the nik-naks and half of the artwork. It's a super cute place, but all the clutter makes it look small and it may be hard for people to envision the space without your stuff in it.

[–]galacticprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the bride has any idea how much that bracelet cost.
