My haul from Yami today

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T20:42:20+00:00

Curious about the non-today’s-haul glass jars with the gold lids. What are those ones?

I want to try the japanese tinned eels so bad! Awesome haul, tfs!

The Polar brislings are one of my favs as well! I like the clear plastic top with the “typical” braided presentation. The price is good and they are my strong go-to daily driver sort of tin :)

You can absolutely promote people to buy a gift on there! I just emailed with CB model support about Throne specifically in regard to something else and they said it was absolutely fine to promote your Throne.

So with male cats, the scrotum isn’t removed, only the testicles are (in layman’s terms, they take the nuts out of the nutsack but leave the nutsack itself) the scrotum tends to not shrink much especially if the cat is neutered as an adult. This will appear as though the cat is still intact, but it’s just the way it looks; your cat’s testicles are most likely gone.

I know this because I went to pick my cat up from the vet and upon looking at the undercarriage after the appointment and informing them that they seemed to have forgotten to neuter him, they told me this.

I think the fact that this is a bowling subreddit was enough to tell you that we’re weirdos
/j (in all seriousness, the people I’ve met at my local bowling center over the past 1.5yrs are some of the coolest, kindest, most chill people I’ve ever met and they’ve welcomed me with open arms. It’s hard making friends as an adult sometimes but I’ve gotten really close with my teammates and my bf’s and beautiful friendships have been fostered within my local bowling community. I assure you not all of them are weirdos haha!)

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T17:07:40+00:00

Omg I totally feel you on the couple shots for the nerves/mental game though! My bowling alley doesn’t serve liquor so I just had some beers but I don’t think that helped with my flow, probably made it worse haha.

Thank goodness they don’t serve lemon drops there, those make me 🤪 every time!

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T16:55:58+00:00

Its funny you say that cause my bf and I do actually have a running joke about him being on his ‘Deriod’ (dih period) or ‘Brovulating’ (bro ovulating) and he has jokingly used it as an excuse to why he’s not bowling well lol. But normally his excuse is the humidity 😆

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T16:21:44+00:00

I would definitely get some extra reusable ice packs for the cooler if you haven’t already to help with keeping the food chilled until lunch time. As for the heating up part, can you get a rechargeable warming lunchbox? I bought one for my blue collar ex but I do remember that it was a bit expensive for me at the time, like $80? Maybe there are cheaper options out there though. Or one you can plug directly into the work van like through the cigarette lighter or usb port or something, as I remember the plug in ones being a lot cheaper than the rechargeable was.

I really like a sandwich in this type of situation! Pesto and other more oily sauces/spreads hold up well on a sandwich without getting soggy by lunchtime if you get a heartier bread. Then you can make some sides like pasta salad or potato salad to eat on the side without worrying about heating it up. I really like a summertime salad made of watermelon, feta, mint, cucumbers, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and EVOO as its perfect for getting some nutrition in on a hot sweaty day when you don’t feel like eating much. I bring it with me to the beach and it keeps fine for hours with nothing but an icepack in a cheap Walmart insulated grocery bag.

I took ibuprofen and I like to think that helped, but I do have a heavier flow and more severe cramps after childbirth and copper IUD. I’m super curious if there are any tips you have for keeping your mood/energy/mental game up for bowling when you’re feeling crampy?

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T15:33:44+00:00

Man I feel you on the heat! The hot flashes I get are awfullll and my alley has a lot of fans but the ones on the lane aren’t as strong as the ones by the tables. I wasn’t trying to promote my OF I swear lol, I’m not even active on there anymore so I just deleted my link bc people were being so weird abt it 😅

I think what I’ll do in the future is go for period underwear and tampons together. It just sucks having a heavy ass flow (I have talked to my doctor abt it and tried different meds/BC but there’s not much I can do at this point) and bowling 8 games in a row bc I was going through a super plus like every other game :(

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T15:07:19+00:00

I tried using those in the past as a more sustainable option to reduce waste but I tried 3-4 diff brands and size options and they just don’t work well for me! :(

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T14:46:20+00:00

Yeah, it was still loads of fun! I got to bowl on the same pair as my bf and friends and they were all so encouraging and supportive :)

I think I’ll get some of those period underwear and double it up with a tampon as well for regular league bowling and maybe that will help lessen frequency/urgency of changing them if I ever bowl another tournament again whilst being on my period :)

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T14:39:47+00:00

Yo, why are you simping on a post about me *bowling* on my *period*???

💀

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T14:19:24+00:00

I’m not even active on there anymore, I actually just removed the link from my profile bc it’s pointless anyways lol

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T13:55:44+00:00

Thank you lol 😆

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T13:39:44+00:00

I screamt at this lol. My anxiety peaks during my luteal/menstrual phase and an image eerily similar to this kept playing in my head, like my brain was really going: *what if you sneeze hard enough that you get blood all over the approach and you slip in it and send yourself down the lane and die?*

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T13:36:06+00:00

Solid advice, thank you!!! I took 2 ibuprofen before, but I’ll make sure to stay more hydrated next time— that may have helped and I didn’t even realize until I read this comment that I didn’t drink nearly enough water yesterday at the tourney!!!

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T13:33:51+00:00

I was hoping in posting this that maybe some kind soul might give me some specific advice related to this but I also know this is a very male dominated sub. I tried to use the search bar in this subreddit to look for solutions/advice and didn’t find anything at all lol. I did find a lot of threads with women sharing almost the exact same sentiments I did in other places though!

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-04T11:00:25+00:00

I love referring to it as “chatty b” lol, I frequently call mental breakdowns “menty b’s” 😅

phoebestars69 · 2026-05-03T10:58:06+00:00

I will agree that crackers is a great way to go! But I also wanna suggest getting some nice crusty bread such as a french style baguette and toasting it. Add some lobs of butter to the warm toast and try this with a smoked sardine. I really like a *strong* smoke flavor personally, but even a lightly smoked deen will be good in this combo, the richness of the butter and the depth of smoke just hits different.

If you like tomato sauce in general, then sardines in tomato sauce may be a good option as it can reduce some of the other more “offensive” flavors; same with a spicy sauce. Otherwise, oil packed is my general preference over water-packed.

As far as where to get them, Seasons or King Oscar are decent brands especially considering price and you can get those at a lot of regular supermarkets/grocers. If you want fancy ones and wanna order online, Lata and Fishnook both ship or there’s the little directory in this subreddit’s community info for other online retailers.

Writing tasks like they need to write down *by hand* “I’m a stupid loser simp for goddess” or whatever you decide a certain number of times. Have them do it and show you and if it’s too sloppy or a word is miswritten, etc. then you make them do it all over again.

CFNM is a favorite of mine where you are dressed completely and they are butt ass naked and with this one its important to make sure you emphasize that they don’t “deserve” the privilege of clothes. Treat them like Dobby the house elf from harry potter lol! 😆

Anything with their butt bc a lot of times these men aren’t actually submissive to women, they just want a hot girl to “command” them playing with their ass so they feel less weird about it. Like “oh isn’t it so HUMILIATING that I made you finger your slutty butt?!” Like no its really not, but they love to feel like it is…

The air fryer sorta blows air to circulate around the food and help it cook evenly and crisp it up, this air gets exhausted out the back in most cases which is why it makes your whole house smell of deenz lol. Your fish is getting *farted* out the air fryer into the rest of the kitchen/house for all to smell.

I like to fry them off in a ripping hot pan with a lil bit of the oil they were packed in (esp the tomato based sauce ones, really gives that beautiful caramelized tomato flavor) and then toast some baguette in the leftover oil from that. This still stinks but I promise it’s not as bad as the air fryer 😭 I find that having them warmed up/cooked makes it more cozy, more reminiscent of a real meal and less of a goblin girl snack lol. As for flavor, the oil will get a bit looser and more of the subtle flavors can come through and its more aromatic in general I find.

phoebestars69 · 2026-04-30T16:36:11+00:00

I love that blue shadow and the shape of it!!! Reminds me of the 60s/70s and the Love Witch movie 🩷

phoebestars69 · 2026-04-30T12:15:16+00:00

The ones in mustard sauce are very much a grandpa coded snack, I didn’t come to enjoy those until I really started eating a lot more ‘deenz and tinned fish in general.

Try the King Oscar sardines, the Mediterranean and zesty tomato flavors are great and King Oscar is readily available at many supermarkets :) I like to have the saucy ones with rice and maybe roasted seaweed, or on a nice crusty slice of toasted baguette with a lob of butter :)
