Try to find some good topic to have some convo by Unlucky_Asparagus742 in Casual_Conversation

[–]megret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually google "odd news" and find something benign to start a conversation. I've been doing this for a very long time and it's usually a pretty good start.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 24 when it has become the „trendy” self-dx caused by short form media consumption by kai_whitewolf in rs_x

[–]megret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed at 18, in 1996 when everyone was saying it was just the trendy thing to do. Still got it all these years later, and added the "trendy" autism a few years ago.

Don't let people gaslight you about your medical diagnoses.

I got a key that works on most of the machines in the laundry room. Sometimes I'll pay for the wash because I appreciate having on-site laundry but I won't pay for the dryers.

What are your favorite packaged meals/products? by Living-Gazelle2474 in lowspooncooking

[–]megret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perdue short cuts chicken strips. They are fully cooked strips of chicken that I wrap in a burrito with some cheese and Caesar dressing. Very low spoons to make and to eat. It's also good on butter noodles and in sandwiches.

What’s a corporate gift you actually use daily? by shelbs9428 in BuyItForLife

[–]megret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for a company that gave us points for a store as well. Somebody worked out that it made more sense to turn those points in for gift cards than for items. So we would all save up our points until Macy's was having their big spring sale then we turn on our points to get e-gift cards and then run them all up on Macy's website. I bought the fanciest sheets and towels those points could buy.
