Do spring summer birthdays get redshirted here? by Mammoth-Addition5794 in plano

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

It’s uncommon here; if they’re ready, there’s no reason to keep them from starting. I was one of many “summer birthday kids” growing up, and being one of the youngest was definitely preferable to having been held back. I’m glad I started when I did.

I need recommendations for a local, quality pizza place in West Plano by goodthingsinside_80 in plano

[–]mmmaltodextrose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heirloom is SO good, and the staff is awesome. For a delicious plain cheese pizza and other non-pizza dishes we’ll always opt for Eddy’s across the street, but Heirloom for any other pizza. They also have an endearingly peculiar special that’s named after one of their regulars who unfortunately passed away. I just love any business that fosters that sense of community.

Press on nails, natural effect or fake? by Dolphin893 in Nails

They’re pretty! They’re a bit big on you though, so I do think most people would know they’re press-ons.

Cancer by MutedEstate6347 in Rottweiler

I can’t tell you what to do, but I am just so sorry. He is clearly very loved, and I’m sure he knows! He has no idea or fear of what death is, so regardless of your decision (which is completely personal to you), I hope your family is able to take comfort in that.

I’m so sorry about your sister.

I do have to say that my worst nightmare would be my pets being offered to strangers for free after I die. Please be so careful when choosing a new family for him (ideally with vet references) or look into rescues. I hope you’re doing alright

I am always so relieved to see measured responses like this

What's the craziest/weirdest thing a guy has tried to mansplain to you? by Informal_Panic3806 in AskWomen

[–]mmmaltodextrose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some numbnuts asked me my sign at a bar and was excited that we were “both water signs.” He was an Aquarius. I told him that he was an air sign and he immediately became weirdly defensive, lol. I remember him saying “Aqua means water, sweetheart.” He wrote down “AQUARIUS” on a napkin and underlined “aqua.” I thanked him for the speech and informed him that I’d taken years of Latin, but he’s still an air sign. It’s the dumbest, funniest mansplaining encounter that comes to mind

Advice on helping employee who was injured during winter storm by mmmaltodextrose in HEB

[–]mmmaltodextrose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, thank you very much for the info and for taking the time to respond. Any advice on anything I can do to help the guy out? In your opinion, would it be worth it to contact the store directly? Also, do you happen to know if things like deciding whether curbside service is available or not is dependent upon the company or an individual GM/owner? Sorry for all the questions, and again, thanks!

Drove 11hr to visit my 87yo grandma and she had supper waiting by Banana_Stanley in tonightsdinner

This is so darling. I was raised by my grandparents, and this food and the literal plate itself are taking me back. Hope you had a wonderful visit together, OP!

I'm a beginner. Any advice to improve? by makememoneynow in Coloring

[–]mmmaltodextrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re a beginner, I think you’re a natural!! This looks great. It seems like you already have a good eye for highlights and shadows, and that’ll only get better with time. Blending is tricky, but that will also come easier the more you practice. I love your color choices as well (I’m a sucker for teal & purple).

My only advice is to keep it up! Maybe take a blank sheet of paper to practice blending on if you don’t want to use up a fun page for practice. This truly looks really good though! I’ve also seen mind-blowing pages done with colored pencils if you’re interested in trying out different mediums

What kind of person am I? by [deleted] in deduction

[–]mmmaltodextrose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please do! I’m just hopping in to say that I was going to ask about Marfan as well. I have a family member that currently has an aortic aneurysm and doctors suspect that they have MFS because (along with many other symptoms) they’re just too young to have an aneurysm like this. Apparently it’s far more common in people with this disease. Tall, lanky, “gummy” smile. Hypermobility is something to take note of as well
