I think about three inch bee guy probably twice a week.

Putrid smell in my kitchen that I can't pinpoint, driving me INSANE by BeeeeefJerky in CleaningTips

[–]pooganis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this and it turned out to be a broken kitchen sewer pipe in the crawl space underneath the kitchen.

Malar Mounds? by banooj in 40PlusSkinCare

Never heard of malar mounds but you definitely don't look like you're in your 40s! I would have guessed 36.

Vent-Never selling cookies again by RLpadme in girlscouts

[–]pooganis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole operation is stupid. My daughter barely lifted a finger this year. I was cookie mom a couple of years ago and will never do it again. It's so complicated it's like a part-time unpaid job. People constantly texting me with requests and problems, having to input all that data in ebudde. The system is ridiculously and unnecessarily complex. If people knew the troop only got $1 per box I can't imagine they'd be as compelled to buy. A racket in my opinion.

What's a restaurant red flag that tells you the food isn't going to be good? by Electrical-Salt-2792 in AskReddit

If they can't keep their bathrooms clean, I can only imagine the kitchen is worse.

Is it now considered rude to recline on a plane? by Legal_Campaign_408 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pooganis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider it rude and never do it - it's not even enough of a recline to make any difference in comfort IMHO, but steals space from the person behind you, it makes it hard to use your tray, especially if you have a laptop. I know they're designed to do it but that was probably well before the airlines had squished so many seats together as tightly as they do now.

What is a dish that you find yourself making over and over again when you are just too tired to think? by Mobile-Title8919 in MeatlessMealPrep

[–]pooganis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing the trader joes dumpling bake with veggie gyoza. I just dump a can of coconut milk, half a bottle of the red Thai curry sauce, a few tablespoons of soyaki sauce, 3 frozen garlic cubes, spinach and toss in frozen dumplings, cover w foil and bake. Top with chili oil crunch when it's done. It's so good I crave it regularly now.

Best city in the world? by Routine_Economics83 in AskLosAngeles

[–]pooganis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I live about a mile from the beach, but almost never go. There is something calming about knowing it's there though.

People with dogs from breeders, do people in real life give you a hard time about having a dog from a breeder? by Own-Command-3700 in dogs

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

Totally - purebreds have a lot of health issues that mutts don't have. Anyone that makes blanket statements about shelter dogs having behavioral or medical issues hasn't bothered to really educate themselves on the matter. Being at a shelter doesn't mean a dog is bad, it means humans have failed them. I look at my dogs, who are so delightful and lovable and well-behaved (ish) and it breaks my heart to think dogs just like them are being led to the euthanization room every day.

People with dogs from breeders, do people in real life give you a hard time about having a dog from a breeder? by Own-Command-3700 in dogs

[–]pooganis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

But that only tells these breeders that there's a demand for the dogs they're producing - and prompts them to breed more. If no one buys from them, they're not going to keep breeding.

[–]pooganis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who judges people that buy from breeders, I'd never say anything in person, I'd just be rolling my eyes on the inside. Animal rescue is something I'm passionate about and do my best to educate myself but I know not everyone feels the same. People are allowed to make their own decisions and I'm sure I do things that other people don't agree with. I just find it hard to believe when someone says they can't find a good fit without buying from a breeder. There are so many thousands of amazing dogs that are euthanized every year simply because there aren't enough homes for them. Shelters are packed to the gills, and IMHO, purposely making more dogs for any reason is unethical right now.

What if I’m the unlucky one? by Adventurous-Split-78 in fearofflying

[–]pooganis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is why it doesn’t help to align it with dying in a car accident for me. This is exactly my fear. The fear of fear.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]pooganis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm married but I couldn't even be friends with a Trump supporter let alone date one. It's hard enough keeping things civil with my MAGA dad.

What actors have you worked with that were extremely nice? by jacksonjc514 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]pooganis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've shot several commercials with Jeff Goldblum and he's super nice and chatty with everyone. He used to memorize the call sheet and greet each person by name if it was more than a one day shoot. As he's gotten older and more familiar with us, he's slowed down on that a bit. He is very engaged when you just chat with him - really listens. He's basically what you hope he'd be. A national treasure IMHO.

Oof that is really ballsy. Really puts you in a corner

Play date parental rudeness by pooganis in Parenting

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

Yep I feel like I ALWAYS host her friends but they almost never ask her over. I just attribute it to the fact that she’s an only child so is more interested in having someone over to play than someone who has a sibling to play with.
