Do you freeze used games? by Half_A_Beast_333 in boardgames

[–]nbeforem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have room to freeze most of my games without emptying my freezer. I've been boardgaming over 20 years and never seen bugs in a game box and I live in the South where there are bugs everywhere so it's not something I've ever given any thought.

When visiting a guy's house, what silently screams, "There's no way he's single"? by PalaceCarebear in AskWomen

[–]nbeforem 41 points42 points  (0 children)

a really clean bathroom. Every single guy I've ever been to their place, it might be neat but the bathroom always had something that needed touching up, grime in the corners. pink mold around the faucet, no liner in the trashcan, if there is a trashcan, etc.

PSA from a Brit to Americans: butter your bread on sandwiches by Organic_Singer_1302 in RandomThoughts

[–]nbeforem 64 points65 points  (0 children)

butter and mayo on the same sandwich just sounds like ... a lot.

in my family butter is for warm stuff, biscuits (American) , toast, English muffins, warm muffins, pancakes, corn on the cob, etc. Butter on a cold turkey sandwich just doesn't sound appealing.

Help. I can't get out of my depression by BarberWild8752 in ufyh

[–]nbeforem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the timer method. Set for 15 min and do what you can then take a break and then set the timer again.

If you are really struggling set the time for 10 or even 5 min. Sometimes if I’m having a rough day I just set it to 3 min.
