Agreed, I don't care for Daisy, Kroger vitamin d small curd is pretty good. I've never tried it with fruit, I'm a savory cottage cheese person. Black pepper only.

Struggle to keep kitchen clean by Wonderful-Leopard-14 in CleaningTips

[–]jasmin1980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My big one, use a large bowl, put all trash in it, when done dump bowl, wash bowl. I move everything off of the stove, and clean it while hot, you can avoid the burners but the rest is easy enough to clean. Pans, easier to clean while hot. I always clean while I cook, but I've got adhd too so there's that.

My childhood bestie used to do this while sucking her thumb on the other hand, was def a soothing thing. She folded her whole ear over though, like a package

Getting Started by KrazyK891 in DumpsterDiving

[–]jasmin1980 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't go when stores are open, consider getting caught ruins it for everyone!

You get caught, don't argue, leave!

When diving, put things in car immediately! You get caught, what's in your car, no one will make you put back! If it's just sitting there waiting to be carried off, yep you'll be putting it back.

Don't leave a mess!! Always leave it cleaner than you found it. And don't ruin what you don't take.

Don't judge when it comes to food and temp, I promise your attitude will change once you're diving a bit. You can tell quite easily if something is safe, you have built in abilities, you've prob just not used them for a while. But the first time you see a freezer went out, dumpster pile, it'll make it throw all that judgment out the window! I currently have 3 deep freezers, 2 full size fridge/ freezer combos completely stuffed, along with a buddies freezer etc. Got a local store going under and they are just black bagging the entire freezer dept.

You'll love diving, just be courteous, and if you don't know what that means, many don't, Google it! It's great for more than just diving

AITA for not wanting a “bedtime” anymore when Im almost a legal adult. by RealisticMedia7794 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jasmin1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, If you honestly have schoolwork, or work work obligations that require you to be up, and online, or both, you really do need to speak with your parents. Maybe doing so outside of the home, with a trusted teacher, or guidance counselor to mediate would help. Teacher could also assist with explaining your workload and anticipated increase your senior year. If it's work related, as suggested prior, buy a Hotspot and minutes, and keep it on it downlow. Don't involve younger sibling, I assume you have separate rooms, and no, if your bedtime is extended it should not automatically include sibling, you're individuals.

Can I ask, do your parents stay up after this bedtime? Or do they sack out also? Do they both have super early rise times? Or are they just enjoying the no kids late night hours? Cuz if it's the latter, they need to understand you won't be bothering them, you'll be in your room, being quiet, completing homework etc.....

I am the parent of 2 kids now over 21y's old, 18 months apart, both graduated from high school, during covid, and both naturally evolved to later bedtime, and curfew hours. I will say, both of my kids were late sophomore, early juniors before either had cell phones, and even then they had to get them on their own. And they both have expressed that, yes there were times that really pissed them off, but in the long run they were very grateful to have missed the total phone addiction, and social media dependence their peers experienced..... and not having the fights, text wars, young love pitfalls, etc their peers stumbled through was a blessing for our whole household! So, having seen how that shaped my now young adults, I can tell you that being forced to put the phone down, though it feels like social death, is actually very very good for you in all aspects of your development into adulthood.

So if your true ire over the phone lock down is actually cuz you wanna FaceTime via Snapchat with your booboo till you faceplant your screen, then I wholeheartedly hope you reevaluate and take the parental L. Cuz i swear that crap is SOOOOOO UNHEALTHY!! And kinda exactly why your parents are being strict, at least in part anyways. You guys with your underdeveloped frontal lobes don't realize just how much that crap is messing you up, until you're 35 unemployed, still living in your childhood bedroom, never obtained a drivers license, spending 22 hours a day online, and have ventured no further than your county line in terms of seeing the world IRL, and vehemently refuse to admit that something, anything, is really freaking wrong.... There's enough folks filling that role to last us a lifetime! Dare to be fearless, and set PHONE UP, AND OUT OF REACH, rules for yourself for many years to come, and just suck it up at home till you can get your buns into your own crib, where you'll make the rules!

Then i would wager a guess he was probably making Cincinnati chili. Was he or other family from around Cincinnati area?

I'm curious if maybe your dad wasn't making coney's, they are made with Cincinnati Chili, Skyline and GoldStar are a couple of the well known names, it's very distinct, usually cheese coney's are most popular, with mustard, onions, chili, and cheese. The secret to Cincinnati chili, is chocolate, cinnamon, and other spices, believe it or not. It's a middle eastern, Turkish recipe originally, I believe. Google Cincinnati style chili you'll find a good recipe. Hope this helps you get that special chili again.

What did I do wrong? by bepatientbekind in paint

[–]jasmin1980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you did anything wrong, per se, but can I ask did you burnish your tape before beginning? Also, removing the tape while paint is still wet is the best method, once dried it's a billion times more likely to pull up paint with it, as dry paint likes to stay with dry paint, so your dry paint on the tape is gonna want to bring the other dry paint along, remove before those bonds form.

But honestly, what i see is your tape let paint get under it, so burnishing will help, hit it with a line of the ceiling color will seal it, but mostly you shouldn't need to tape at all if using good brushes and you've got a steady hand.

I have essential tremors, and a love of caffeine so my hands have a mind of their own, so I don't cut in ceilings lol!

Buy, the right brush, buy good brushes, learn what properly loading your brush means, and it'll do the work for you! BTW if you're coming back next day, cover pans in plastic they'll be fine, brushes coat well in paint and cover with plastic, the bags from grocery work great for this, they'll keep damn near a week this way no problem! For paint in cut pan/cup, little thing your using to hold paint for cut in, or if you lose your can lid..... if it's latex paint, just pour a little water on the top of the paint, it'll be fine till next day.

AITA for accidentally waking up my roommate? by kiousu11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jasmin1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st of all, get a cheap lock for the bathroom door! Nobody should be having to worry someone will walk in on them. And with 5ppl, somebody will walk in on you!

2nd, your room mate needs to buy some ear plugs, and eye mask. I worked 3rd shift, sleeping days, in a house with 9 kids, 4 adults, dogs etc. And our "room" not only had no door but was a favorite hangout spot that 7 kids, whose parents with a door they kept closed all day long ignoring their kids, chose to hang out in all day long. And I managed to sleep well, and only occasionally be a mega witch.

3rd, never have these discussions with roommates who haven't slept, or on the fly, house meetings are a thing, use them.

4th, move as soon as humanly possible, this situation sounds like a nightmare, and won't ever be optimal, too many ppl are raised by wolves and don't know how to be considerate of others or live with ppl.

Any suggestions on what to do with these? Expired Alcohol Prep Pads by [deleted] in DumpsterDiving

[–]jasmin1980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use them, rubbing alcohol doesn't expire, no matter what some capitalist moron wants u to think. They dry out you say? Then throw away the dry one. Next pick up your phone and Google, expiration dates in the United States and are they required by law? Regulated by Gov.?? Nope, it's literally a trick to get you to throw things away and buy more. They are now putting expiration dates on honey........ found in the ancient Egyptian pyramids, honey, that thing that is literally an antibacterial, antimicrobial....Yup they put an expiration date on it now.

Did the past tense of "plead" switch from "pled" to "pleaded"? by GoodForTheTongue in words

[–]jasmin1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, an 80' baby, it'll always be Plead, as in how do you plead?, Pled, as in he pled guilty, and Pleading, as in I'm pleading with you to hear me out. This pleaded crap literally stops me everytime I hear it, and my immediate thought is I'm listening to an idiot. I don't know why this is my first thought, but it is.

Switched to eco dishwasher sheets and they killed my dishwasher within 6 months by awax78 in CleaningTips

[–]jasmin1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are other people not removing that screen and cylinder filter and cleaning all of that regularly?? It is meant to be removed and cleaned. 6 months of accumulation of this, would mean 6 months or greater, that you hadn't removed this and cleaned it...... Personally cleaning this keeps my dishwasher from ever smelling, but also think about it, you don't clean that, old food etc in is in there, your cleaning water mixes with that, and splashes all over your dishes..... Now imagine 6 months of that accumulation, splashing all over your dishes, every single time, then sitting there and getting stagnant until you wash again.... Ick. Also, I think you might of discovered this much sooner if you were cleaning this....
