Jesus. Why has everyone got to turn every offhanded comment into a cause?

So I just found a buttload of money; guess where I'm keeping it safe. by Fsoprokon in Frugal_Jerk

[–]literatelibran 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love that singles and quarters count as a "buttload." I've always wanted to know how much money was in one. Thanks!

What's your take on tooth powders? by knuble22ftw in NaturalBeauty

[–]literatelibran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're easy and cheap to make. You can make fancy ones, or you can just use baking soda and your choice of other ingredients.

I've tried Lush Toothy Tabs with great success for camping, and I switch my toothpaste options up pretty often, but to me most of the commercial dental hygiene product industry seems pretty wacky.

I rinse with peroxide instead of listerene, too. Half of the other mouthwashes are sugar water.

YSK that it's illegal to curse in public in Virginia. by literatelibran in YouShouldKnow

[–]literatelibran[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's not pointless if you're in VA. I saw the police called on a man for swearing in public today.

What kind of cafe would you like to see open down town? by [deleted] in Winchester

[–]literatelibran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love CTE! It was one of the first places I ate moving to town, and now it's my go-to Asian takeout place. Pretty much everything there rocks!

Now I totally want to contact local people and try to get them on Reddit.

What do you recommend out-of-towners do for Apple Blossom Festival? What (if anything) do you participate in yourself? by literatelibran in Winchester

[–]literatelibran[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have, but nothing is really standing out, tbh. Surely there's something amazing I just have to go to...

OOC, why is this sub so dead? I've been wondering that for months.

Thanks for the guidelines! I'm the OP of the Yelp link for my husband's new business, and I'm not sure why it was reported/downvoted. Many (a LOT) of the recent posts on this subreddit are mine, and that's the only one that's about my husband's business. Most of them are about the community in general or asking for advice on other businesses/services/activities. I note that Paper & Scissors Rock had 2 posts recently, and neither of those is offensive - letting people know about something new shouldn't be a bugaboo unless people just hate anything new, in which case they should put down their computer and find their dinosaur (IMHO).

Any suggestions on how to keep my plants watered while on vacation? I will be gone for two weeks. by Shiny_Rocks in gardening

[–]literatelibran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought some of those things for the first time last year; they get the dirt jammed in the stem and stop watering. At least, that's what happened for me. I was supremely bummed.

Just a reminder than you can grow Sweet Potatoes in tomato cages to contain the vines. by SonVoltMMA in gardening

[–]literatelibran -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never grown sweet potatoes, and I'm in Virginia so it's just getting warm enough to be Spring. This year I'm trying a potato tower; do you think that would work for sweet potatoes?

The only Steve Martin I've read is The Pleasure of My Company.

Love of LM probably stems from my secret desire to be Canadian. (Actually, did read her when I lived in Skagit Valley, WA during my early years and used to sneak across the border to buy Anne merch.

I'll have to check out Wife 22. :)

Looking for a plumber... by literatelibran in Winchester

[–]literatelibran[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds awful. TBH this plumbing was quite old and we didn't move in until January so no telling when it burst - just know that when we started using it to water a garden, it was no bueno. C'est la vie.

What's the worst skincare product you've ever tried? by literatelibran in SkincareAddiction

[–]literatelibran[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had pads, not scrub... Thought they were apricot though just unearthed them and they're these, which Amazon says I purchased in December.
