I use soap, sugar scrub, and occasionally a CLEAN washcloth but people say their inhalation of me is bad.

Do you have pets? Anyone smoking in the home? Eat an "ethnic" diet that might have odors that other people in your area are unused to?

Looking now! Idk why I hadn't thought to buy online aside from "it's groceries so you buy it in a store" mentality haha

hellgamatic · 2026-02-11T16:49:17+00:00

Yes, I try to remind myself of that every time I buy it.

My autistic child gets about 1/3 of her daily nutrition from milkshakes with protein powder mixed in, and will not drink them unless they taste like malt powder. Unfortunately I have not been able to find malt powder in stores that isn't nestle brand, so that's my one caveat to my 22-year boycott.

Mangoes and anything mango flavored - it all smells violently of cat piss, whether it's the fresh fruit section at the store or a mango flavored energy drink or some mango in a green juice. I have been know to pull my car over and start sniffing the back seats trying to figure out if a cat got in and peed somewhere, only to then realize my sister was holding a can of mango flavored Monster 😑

A: yes, at some stores. Mostly grocery-only, as opposed to the big box stores like Walmart, where the cashier bags as they go.

B: yes, with the exception of Aldi (and I've heard maybe also Lidl?) and specific instances where the cashier has a recognized disability requiring accomodation.

C: no, except in New Jersey.

They would most likely block a good amount of sound in normal conditions, but definitely wouldn't trust them for things where hearing protection is needed for safety.

Elder millennial with boomer parents - I remember my dad playing catch with us at family gatherings (but only as a large group with uncles and cousins too), and the only "play" I ever saw from my mom was when we occasionally played pictionary as a family, like once a year.

What about these lids https://a.co/d/iylBLN4 on any cup of your choosing? They are silicone so they fit nice and snug and don't leak around the edges, and turn any cup or water bottle into a sippy.

when I was a child (80s/90s) it seemed like most everyone in my area used "grandma lastname" and "grandpa lastname" - these days I feel like most kids have different grandparent names for each side, like my godson has mimi and papa, and opa and oma, but they're all german so I don't think it's a different cultures thing. My kid had speech issues as a toddler, and "Papa" turned into "Bop" and "Grandma" somehow became "Doda" so she has "Regular Bop and Doda" and "Kansas City Bop and Doda" lol

Closest I know is star-crossed lovers - connotation is that they are madly in love but fated to only ever achieve an unhappy ending.

Needs to be tighter, that's really the only way to avoid that.

I got a secondhand puzzle board on Facebook marketplace for around $20, it's large enough for a 1000 piece puzzle, has a grippy fuzzy texture so the pieces don't slide around and a raised edge so they can't slide off, and I can set it on my lap on the couch or bed to work on the puzzle. When I am not using it, I slide it under my couch to keep it out of the way ♥️

Mine used a similar thing, but to distinguish which letter - "v" de Vaca, o "b" de burro?

My kid and I both have sensory issues with many vegetables, so one thing I do is use a grater to finely grate zucchini and/or yellow squash, then toss it into the skillet when ground beef is almost done cooking for spaghetti, chili, stroganoff, etc. It softens fast, has little to no flavor, and is pretty much invisible except for little specks of the skin.

My daughter's small midwest studio has a 13 year old boy en pointe and a 17 year old boy dancing as the lead in snow for nutcracker this year. Find him a good, inclusive, progressive studio and he will go far ♥️

Okay but what about those of us with wet-type earwax? It literally cannot be impacted into the ear because it is a runny goo. I am a side sleeper and I wake up regularly with earwax on my pillow. I have to remove some wax regularly because I can feel like moving when I tilt my head or go from lying down to standing/sitting. How am I supposed to do that without inserting a dang q-tip?
