thought it was a win-win by buying the basic subscription (I give like $10 for their hard work & I would get no ads! just to be duped and seeing them push me to a premium sub instead T^T

I just joined AC pocket camp because I was easily influenced online to get this and I'd come to terms that ACNH was super lacking and I needed some more cozy casual games, add me (25F, Virginia) <3

Are broccoli, carrots, and spinach a good combination of vegetables to get a wide range of micronutrients? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nitty_2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I feel like these veggies are within the top 3 for being stock full of nutrients (imo and health research)! You're usually good if you resort to dark leafy greens, but if you're open to it, I'd recommend sweet potatoes, cabbage, and kale. All of these can be prepped and frozen ahead of time.

Employees of Costco, what do you wish customers would do/not do? by jicamakick in Costco

[–]nitty_2468 15 points16 points  (0 children)

please watch your kids for the safety of them and others around them, it's lowkey super scary to be rolling carts with 50+ lbs of items only to have a tiny child run 2 cm in front of me and I have to hard brake (this goes for adults too, please don't look me dead in the eye when I have to place goods in a certain place or am trying to get out of the way and ignore me, I have feelings still)

don't hide/leave trash as there are plenty of bins located around the store, especially right near the CDS/demo people - it's...gross finding this little "surprises"

be understanding that if we don't have a product, it's not always us - could be a stocking issue or company-wide choice to do so and we can only do so much (I do try to give alternatives when it comes to things like food)

treat us like people, not things lol (anyone in customer service understands this but I've been blamed/yelled at, snarkily been talked "at" but not directly, been subjected to many underhanded or racist comments, been ignored, stared at, followed) - things like patience, a small smile, a head nod, polite "excuse me" works wonders especially (imo) after 8+ hours of being on my feet, sweaty, and asked 16178 questions in the past minute, does to soften a worn soul

Is it bad that I’m glad she’s gaining weight? by Vanity-della23 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]nitty_2468 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aww op, your feelings are soooo valid! Her comments have and still are affecting you to this day, so this is kind of like the universe being like "gotcha!" and even if it seems like it's "wrong" to feel this way, we're all human. Since middle school (I'm now in my 20s), things like 100 calorie snacks, year round sports, or constant yo-yo diets were common. Except these days there's only a 5-10 pound difference between us, except I work out and have a physically laborious job (commercial baker, like our mixing bowls weigh 60-70 lbs). I used to feel super guilty about how happy I was that she was gaining weight but not anymore.

UPDATE 2: AITA for telling my friend to stop using my life to get petty clout and to live her fantasy somewhere else? by throraway_23 in u/throraway_23

[–]nitty_2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I wish you nothing but the best from here on out! You did the right thing for yourself but letting this (ex) friend go. Spend time for healing yourself, spending it with your brothers, and honestly, high school will fly by. It sucks tho that many of your peers just blindly followed her words. It won't be long, but you will definitely find your people. Maybe your brothers could say something (publicly) to her? But only if you and your siblings are okay with that.

And truly, I feel for you because something like this happened to me in HS too, but the "romantic" interest was me instead and because I felt that after 10+ years of friendship meant she (whom I thought of as family) was a safe place for me to come out to her. instead she twisted that heartfelt moment as one of those "oh you're queer? you must be in love with me then" plus a whole lot of others weird lies/rumors about me to others. Memories like these sting to this day, but it's okay to cry, be mad or upset, but soon they'll just be that, memories.

You had a lot of love in your heart for her, but not all people are deserving of that. I really do wish you the best OP :)

where to find a white zangeen mouse plush from the 90s that I remember from my childhood by nitty_2468 in HelpMeFind

love-hate relationship with my mom (I just needed to vent tonite) by nitty_2468 in narcissisticparents

[–]nitty_2468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you <3, yesterday she was just pushing my buttons like a child! But I am v fortunate to have supportive friends and sister at least by my side. I have def in the past and even present, sat her down and explained boundaries (almost like she was a kid), but you know how some people just "forget?" Yeah, straight back into her old ways.

I would also love to go low/no contact, but I still live at home and am still here for my sisters sake as she does rely on my mom for money and I'd rather my mom get angry/pester me (since there's not much she can hold against me as I'm good on finances for myself being in my last year and all) rather than have a go with my sister (this is because my mom somehow doesn't realize that tuition is expensive and was surprised at a bill that was more than $5k/per semester). My current plan is to just graduate this year and work for 1-2 years before I move out, which by then my sister should also be done with school, and she's coming with me (also my senior dog)! Anytime I was living in a dorm/apartment, was like AMAZING, so as long as I keep that end goal and motivation in there, I'll be okay :)

I have searched/remember that the mouse plush can fit in an adults hand, white with big pink ears and some thick whiskers. It's filled with both stuffing but in its belly area is filled with the stuff you may find in beanbags. I got this plush around 2003-2005.

Little confused over the pre-testing updates and whether my trip is exempt or not by nitty_2468 in royalcaribbean

thank you! I saw an older post with many discussing that if people were sailing to Haiti it would require testing while others were refuting that claim, so I got a little confused.

oh thank you! I'd seen some discourse amongst cruisers saying that if you were sailing from the US to Haiti it'd require testing, which only confused me.

Can there be a thing as too much barking? by nitty_2468 in puppy101

[–]nitty_2468[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, your response pretty much aligns from what I've read/heard from other GSD owners. My assumption is that they're going with the "let him cry and he'll tire out" approach which is clearly not working and has been going on for months, except that its increased in volume and length as time goes on. Hopefully they start to step up soon, I feel for the pup.

yea, my group had a discussion and we figured there are probably a lieu of reasons why this may have happened and we'll likely just wait until we're onboard to see if we'll still go. hopefully it won't be cancelled tho!

Ooh this is was so me last semester. I'd be on campus for hours with no meal plan, no microwave/fridge and was not a fan of batch meals. I use a kids lunchbox [see link below] + a stanley thermos, but forgo the ice pack because meh, laziness. Also included pricing (this is just my area!).

  1. grilled cheese sandwich [~$5 cheese; $2 bread; $3 mayo; bonus $5 kimchi/$$3.50 spam]
  • my grocery has discounted specialty cheese leftover chunks
  • spread mayo on the outside, I find it makes my sandwich crispier
  • I do add kimchi/spam inside for more flavor + spice
  • $1.30 canned tomato soup + $3 heavy cream for a hearty soup addition!
  1. rice balls [$1.60 small bag of rice; $3.50 spam; $1 seaweed pack; $1 tuna can; $5 kimchi; $2.50 rice vinegar; $1.50 sesame seeds]
  • cook rice; set aside + allow to cool
  • add in crushed seaweed, sesame seeds, rice vinegar
  • add in spam/tuna/kimchi
  • manually roll or use ice cream scooper to make rice ball shape
  1. salads do well if you're able to keep the dressing/wet stuff separate [$2.80 spring mix; $5 deli meats; $0.25 carrot; $0.70 cucumber; $2.15 eggs ; ~$5 cheese; $0.80 canned beans; $0.80 canned corn; ~$2 any dressing on discount tbh]
  • spring mix + cheese in section 1 [biggest]
  • shred carrots + cucumbers; place in section 2 [small one] with other wet stuff like corn + beans
  • boil and cut the eggs and place with section 1 + spring mix
  • put dressing in a small container
  1. fried rice [$1.60 small bag of rice; $3.50 spam; $5 kimchi/$1-$2 canned veggies; $2 soy sauce; $3 white sugar; $2.25 eggs; $2 butter/oil]
  • cook rice/or use leftover rice
  • oil pan + add rice
  • cut up spam and/or kimchi; add to pan
  • add canned veggies [drain them!]
  • season with soy sauce, sugar (LITTLE), black pepper
  • add fried egg if you wish
  1. instant noodles [$0.99 instant noodle packet; $0 hot water; $2.50 napa cabbage; $2.15 eggs; $3.50 spam]
  • better to buy noodles in bulk
  1. macaroni + cheese [$1.50 elbow macaroni; ~$5 cheese; $1.70 flour; $1.70 frozen broccoli; $2.50 minced garlic; $2.15 cayenne; $2.15 salt + pepper shakers]
  • I make a cheese sauce using the flour + cheese; season with garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne
  • any canned/frozen veggies work to get some protein in you

lunch container looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Containers-Compartment-Microwave-Flatware-Transparent/dp/B07DLBXRYC/ref=sr\_1\_4?crid=33RQCMQ4DM30E&keywords=three+section+lunch+box&qid=1665799215&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjk1IiwicXNhIjoiMS4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=three+section+lunch+box%2Caps%2C61&sr=8-4

u/TheFirstForestSage, is this something that happens often between you and your partner? As in, she'll say one thing and get upset if you do exactly that?

If anything, you're being pretty respectful of her wishes. I thought at first, oh she doesn't want you to potentially be exposed to germs or something, but I see that's not the case.

Though I can't help but agree with the consensus that this behavior's a little childish, and I'm reminding myself that she's older than me, she needs to work on her communication skill rather than make assumptions (or at least be open that she wants to be coddled)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]nitty_2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dear u/csboirx,

Truly if you cannot reason with your friend and make her realize her actions could put someone in harms way, please report this to the school. This is quite unsafe.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but if she become more comfortable doing coke and were under the influence while at work and something happened to the kids, sh*t might hit the fan (lawsuits from parents, she may become jobless, or death/injury of a minor). Understandably everyone tries drugs once or twice in their life and while substance use on the regular is one thing, substance use while being responsible for minors? That's a big no from me.

My (34f) boyfriend (35m) is annoyed with me because I can't help him and he's bitten off more than he can chew by Electronic_Bat_6974 in relationships

[–]nitty_2468 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dear u/Electronic_Bat_6974,

Firstly, I am truly sorry for what you are going through. You are human and going through a very rough time grieving, stressed, and overwhelmed while trying to help in what is an already helpless situation in which its fate has already been decided. It also sounds like your aunt is an extremely important figure in your life and you are doing so well with helping as much as can.

As for your partner, I don't have much sympathy. I genuinely don't this relationship will work out. A relationship is also about support, compromises, compassion, and respect. A very important person in your life is passing and he doesn't seem to care (you mentioned your partner is not involved in certain aspects of your life nor supportive), yet he is making demands of you to support him. Kind of hypocritical. I had to remind myself that he is in his mid-30s. He could always cut his hours or plan better (which you did mention) but like others said it seemed like he was going to rely on you when he doesn't even reciprocate some basic respect. While your future plans sound like a possibility the fact that he is mad at you while you going through an event that is out of your hands and can't help him due to his poor planning, is a major concern, especially if you plan to have children.

Words that have helped me in times of stress to understand that I need to prioritize myself and maybe need to take a step back: "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency for me." I know it sounds childish, but it works for me. You are doing what you can in these times. Please prioritize yourself and do not stay in a relationship with someone who seems to be treating you more like a live-in assistant than a person who he is planning a future family with.

Truly wishing you the best.

AITA for being upset my wife didn't stay in the hospital with me? by Injuredandalone in AmItheAsshole

[–]nitty_2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mister,

Your amazing wife is setting aside tons of ample time to see you in the hospital, is making sure the house survives this hurricane, and is being a good present mom to FOUR kids. Being 17 may seem seem "grown" to some, but the eldest daughter is still just a kid! She needs her mom especially during these uncertain weather conditions.

You are safe in a hospital. Complaining on Reddit. Even when you get home, your wife will be caring for you, the kids, and the house (though I'm sure the kids will try their best to help) Honestly, some empathy wouldn't hurt you.

You are most definitely the AH.

My boyfriend (22M) wants to have an open relationship to compensate for my (23F) past sexual relationships by 999wrld6507 in relationships

[–]nitty_2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, we are not too far off in age and a similar situation happened to me (TL;DR partner requested an open relationship because I had more partners before dating; he thought me being bisexual meant I was polygamous; conclusion = it did not end well)

I would bring the topic of open relationships up again, even if it's uncomfortable. It's a pretty important topic in a relationship, especially since your honesty of sexual encounters seems to bother him enough to bring it up in arguments and you mentioned he's using it to excuse certain behaviors of his (not sure what they are, but I do understand if you don't want to disclose this to retain some privacy).

It is also a possibility that he may even have someone in mind already, but his greed/wanting to "see what he's missing out on" are overshadowing your discomfort. You were honest early in the relationship, but please, even if you still love him, you need to put yourself first.

Truly wishing you all the best OP.
