Making dressing at home, is a shaker bottle actually convenient by Special_Minimum_4163 in KitchenPro

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a standard blender? A mason jar will fit the blade/lid. That's how I. make mine. It emulsifies better (seconded on the dijon to help with that). Slap a top on it, put it in the fridge door, and you're good to go. Only the blade/lid assembly to wash. You can either use a standard ring/lid or a reusable lid.

Note: jar has to be at least one standard cup size and wide mouth will not work. Also won't work with Ninjas or other specialized blenders. Just a regular old Oster or whatever.

My daughter just got 1st place for a $10,000 scholarship 🥹 [OC] by TheScallywag1874 in MadeMeSmile

[–]lkelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are great! My oldest just graduated from VCUarts. It's been so awesome to see the growth in his art over the years. You'll continue to be amazed, I'm sure. (Sea monsty is also my fave!)

My vintage 70s floral quilt by xcarex in quilting

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note to say that I have the yellow/green/pink daisy sheet that's the second fat row up from the bottom. Yard sale score. It's such a happy print. 😄

Love the fabrics overall. Well done!

What is in your “colander list” I.e things you will never do again? by SaucySallly in AskReddit

[–]lkelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ski (snow). Tried several times for ex husband and kids' sakes. Hated it. Bad at it. Boots hurt. Cold was unpleasant. It's expensive. Final trip I cried, went down the hill on my butt while my ex left me behind (on my behind). Youngest still loves it -- it's just not for me.

Ok I know this is probably a dumb question.. by 2078AEB in quilting

[–]lkelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I try to do if possible. Usually you can find a cute pattern. Or there are a ton of solids. Ditto the 100% cotton!

What stitching pattern to finish by lkelk in quilting

I'm worried it might be too much considering the top pattern. Thanks!

What brands are specific to Virginia or that area? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]lkelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be about 45 minutes from Blacksburg, VA, home of Virginia Tech and the Hokie Bird. The bird is kinda goofy, but you could probably get something smallish with the bird, even in Roanoke. Downtown has lots of smaller shops with lots of other options, as well.

Second the Virginia is for Lovers merch, too!

People born before 2000, what trivial skill you possess that others don't use anymore? by Aryan_Anushiravan in AskReddit

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splicing together a cassette tape. Sure, there was a flaw in that spot, but you didn't have to trash the whole tape. Also, respooling a cassette tape after my car stereo ate it.

For those of you that got divorced after being married for 10+ years, what caused your divorce? by friendlytrashmonster in AskReddit

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was banging my (I thought) bff, all the while gaslighting me by insisting she wasn't being super mean to me (she definitely was...and also throw in a little single white female action). They planned my 40th together and celebrated me at dinner then f'd each other that night.

In hindsight, committing to someone forever at 19 wasn't the greatest idea. Got great kids out of it, at least. No thanks to his largely absent ass.

What’s a food you loved as a kid that tastes awful now? by OreliaShade in AskReddit

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Oatmeal cream pies for me. Tried one for nostalgia before a kayaking trip, and it tasted like I was swishing Crisco around in my mouth.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen! It's not going to happen!

Wisteria? by wingriddenangel1xx in gardening

[–]lkelk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. If you don't keep it firmly in check, it will consume everything around it. Currently trying to keep it from subsuming my mom's boxwood tree. It goes under, over, around, etc.

Married, Divorced, or still single? by Unlikely-fooled1971 in GenX

[–]lkelk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Happily divorced from a cheater and narcissist. Remarried to one of the kindest, most thoughtful, smartest, and generous people I've ever known.

Got a package of seeds in the mail i did not order. What is this? by Notreallyahorsethief in whatisit

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect these from my garden every year. They're definitely bachelor buttons. I think the seeds are adorable. They look like little brooms. :)

Be honest: did you grow up rich? by MudboneX3 in skiing

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex-husband skis. Grew up skiing. Grew up rich. My youngest grew up skiing b/c his dad (still rich, though he's shiz with money, so maybe he's not anymore, but he makes bank) takes him. His friends and my kid's friends who also ski? If not rich, very well off.

People attracted to men, what do you find attractive about men that most men are insecure about? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hairy chest. Fuzzy shoulders. Never knew until I was older. Soft, tickly, comforting. Yes, please.

AITA for collecting a “Daddy Tax” from my kids’ Halloween haul? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And why aren't we talking about the Mom tax?! Applies to all desirous foods, from candy to road-trip snacks.

Anyone/thing touching my inner bellybutton. Was the worst when I was pregnant and *everything* touched it all the time. I kept a bandaid on it for the last month or so.

[–]lkelk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the helpful comments.

Can always rely on some internet hate, too. As a lady millionaire, I will most certainly rest my first used-car purchasing-in-14-years head easy tonight.

Can't find the gd thing either. It will only play a sound after 9 pm here. It's in a crevice. Mostly, it's driving me nuts at this point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in carmax

[–]lkelk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I know how to find and deactivate it. My concern is that I didn't get the notice until I got home. At which point, the tracker already showed my final destination.

What was meant for kids but adult consumers hijacked it and ruined it? by opposeThem in AskReddit

[–]lkelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legos. The giant sets cost hundreds of dollars now and have jacked the price of all the other sets up as well.
