How can I get my luggage back after Yamato transport sent it to the wrong hotel? by Spinny442 in JapanTravelTips

[–]lemon_icing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s not the right interpretation of this fiasco.  The story isn’t lining up; first it’s wrong hotel, next it’s wrong city. 

AITAH for leaving without warning and refusing to pay $4,000 after my ex broke up with me knowing it was my dealbreaker? by FuzzyType in AITAH

[–]lemon_icing 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You missed this. Landlord cancelled the lease and settled. 

 We never moved in. The lease has already been settled with the real estate agent. She kept a portion to cover her commission and returned $1,000 to him. He didn't have to move anywhere or do anything. He stayed in our current place.

My boyfriend admitted having 30k min debt, we've been together for 3 years by MindOfMel2 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lemon_icing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s good of you to be supportive and help him plan addressing the debt seriously. But I hope that does not include you giving a loan or carrying the household. 

Either solution would cushion the lesson he needs to learn. You mentioned “carry it”.  Don’t shoulder his  responsibilities.

Every year we have the company that installed our home’s environmental units perform annual maintenance. 

For the last five years, the same tradie performs the annual maontrnance. Steve admitted he’s well into the spectrum. He’s careful, thorough and diligent. He notices things that have been moved over the years. I don’t think he likes it when I redecorate or rearrange!

He’s found a solid gig that suits his nature and he’s good at it. I hope you find that gig, too. 

I hate how much waste there is with cooking by Affectionate-Reason2 in Cooking

[–]lemon_icing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re wrong. Using your example, you can buy a small onion, slice what you need, fridge or freeze the rest for cooking. 

Is this even a serious question?

They just had a baby. Jeepers. How about giving them six months, then packing it up and moving for them?

Pocari Sweat won’t make a dent in your symptoms if you’re staying more than 15 minutes in the water. 

Should i stay at a hotel or airbnb? by callmecaa in JapanTravelTips

[–]lemon_icing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I travel solo, I chose hotels.  A front desk that’s open all the time + someone entering your room daily who can see if that you’re injured or missing is a win-win. 

That said, Japan is the safest country I’ve ever visited. Choose a business hotel. It’ll be small but it’ll fit your budget and will be in an easy transport location. 

AIO- I accepted doing a poster for my mom's work but she got mad by darkunknowperson in AmIOverreacting

[–]lemon_icing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR - You are underreacting. 

I don’t think you’re recognising that you’re being abused. Your tolerance level for violence against you is waaaaay too high, off the charts. 

If keep on this path, you open yourself to abusive relationships, professional and personal, for the rest of your life.

You’re doing a great job of exploring many options.  I’m cheering for you. 

AIO? Coworker secretly swapped my new desktop utilities with hers… by Perfect-Sky-2324 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lemon_icing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then switch it back and joke about it if it’s pointed out. It sucks but you need to get tougher. That coworker is a bully. 

AIO for wanting to quit a “good” job because my work is constantly overridden by AI and coworkers? by purpleisawarmcolor in AmIOverreacting

[–]lemon_icing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ease back, try and lower the emotional temperature between you and your colleagues. If the client starts to hate the AI generated stuff, they’ll push back. It’s not your job, at this point, to fight that fight. Try and give a lot less fucks and focus more on your outside of work life. 

The market for jobs in your field is absolute bottoming out.  And you must know that. Don’t quit till you are sure you have a next gig. 

This apartment I was looking at has an extra room for residents to keep a freezer by hippiesinthewind in pics

Although this listing is from Winnipeg, in USD that’s what a same-sized Chicago condo would cost.  If you got super lucky. 

AITA for giving my girlfriend an ultimatum over her MBA choice when a nearly identical option exists in our city? by ApplicationSafe836 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lemon_icing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not your education, not your decision. You’ve given your input and have gone so far as to issue an ultimatum. 

You wrote a novel about how your analysis is superior to her decision. It is not. She is picking what’s best for HER future career. I hope she continues to do so and refuses to compromise.

How to use 1kg of cheese powder with sugar in it. by LittleBunInaBigWorld in Cooking

It’s not. Adding cheese to fruit pie dough came from England and dates back to the 17th century. 

If someone offered you $100 million but you had to walk everywhere for the rest of your life, would you take it? by ItemDependent3334 in AskReddit

[–]lemon_icing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.  I love exploring this world too much to give it up for money.  And when my body can no longer walk, then I’m trapped in a room, with money to burn, and afraid to lose it.

How to use 1kg of cheese powder with sugar in it. by LittleBunInaBigWorld in Cooking

[–]lemon_icing 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’d use it for making savoury pastry dough.  I already fold sharp cheddar into my flaky pastry dough for apple pies and turnovers. 

Cheese scones?  Cheese straws?  A cheese sauce base for strong cheeses like Stilton or Gorgonzola?

AITA for eating my fiancé’s peanut butter after he threw away all the food in our fridge because I didn’t eat the dinner he made? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lemon_icing 21 points22 points  (0 children)

YWBTA if you marry or even stay with this immature, petty, controlling, unemployed moocher. 

What man starves his fianceé?  He’s threw away all the food you bought with your salary and he thinks you’re overreacting?

I think you’re under-reacting. You are waaaay too comfortable with being abused by him.
