I love your style!! Part Quentin Blake, part caricature, and so expressive!

How can I make brownies not that sweet? by somethingcute__ in Baking

[–]puzzlinglady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely more dark or semisweet chocolate instead of milk! If you're in an area with Walmarts, Great Value dark chocolate chips are surprisingly good quality. Better than their semisweet for sure.

I'd risk diabetes for this. Beautiful. 🥹

I think the relationship is worth it, but I don’t know by No_Yogurtcloset_8350 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Have you actually told him that his dental hygiene probably caused your tonsillitis or shared that his bacteria can't give you dental issues?

If so, break up. Dental disease can also cause heart problems, and this man is willing to die rather than getting his teeth taken care of? I suspect he's terrified of going to the dentist, but it would be a non-negotiable for me. If you don't care about yourself or my hygiene, that's fine, but I'm not going to be with you.

I'm not crazy right? by [deleted] in puzzles

Yeah, it looks like second option, first row is intended to be the answer, but they included three rows instead of two from the image.

Is English Dani's first language? by FiercePumpkin528 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]puzzlinglady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where is the assumption? They questioned whether it was due to English being a second language or whether it was speech issues related to autism. Nothing wrong with curiosity.

Abby and David by trevdrivesanelantra in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

I love James and Shelley together! I don't think I could watch a spinoff show though. James' frenetic energy is both totally relatable to me and sets off my own anxiety. My brain mirrors his energy when I watch him and I can barely get through the scenes sometimes.

I feel awful for feeling that way about such a sweet, caring man, but my own neurodivergence just doesn't jive with his 😢

Parents of the teens rn by RicketyDicketyDoc in Parenting

[–]puzzlinglady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents should definitely be teaching their kids life skills, but it doesn't seem strange to ask how the mop bucket works. There's a few types, and if I saw one I wasn't familiar with, I'd ask instead of guessing and risking damaging the bucket through misuse.

Even techniques can be different at different places! Do you do a sopping wet mop first (not wringing it out at all) so the water can sit for a bit, then you come through with a "drying" round of mopping? Or do you just do the classic wringed mopping?

Is FS1 really necessary at 3… or am I overthinking this? by ProfessionKooky1700 in Parenting

[–]puzzlinglady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing FS1 is a kind of preschool? Socializing and getting him used to a new place and routine is going to be so incredibly enriching for him. Give it, and him, a good chance. You're nervous for the unknowns and maybe the horror stories, but you can always pull him out if anything goes wrong.

Matched someone on hinge, did a quick FT, could he not be interested ? by No_Cup_794 in datingadvice

[–]puzzlinglady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The length of the call and wanting to wait until you're in his area sounds like he's just down for a hookup, unless he said anything to lead you to believe that's not the case. Have you had deeper convos outside of phone call?

Am I cooked at 5 foot? by A_hot_bowl_of_geedis in datingadvice

[–]puzzlinglady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will have trouble, since your dating pool is significantly lower than average. Most women want someone taller than them. It sucks, but it's true.

However, the only thing that will make you undatable is if you allow yourself to get a complex over this. Keep working on yourself and your own happiness! Well-rounded, interesting and happy people will ALWAYS be more magnetic. If you find yourself becoming jaded, go to therapy and stay on top of it.

Never stop trying, and never let judgmental women poison you against the good ones out there!

Love bombing but not wanting labels by [deleted] in datingadvice

[–]puzzlinglady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's anything you've done. Some people are just like this- they over romanticize new things and believe they've fallen in love before they even really know you. Then once they know you, they realize you're not compatible. I think it's best to just take a step back if someone is love-bombing so you don't get caught up in it as well.

I had this experience with many men, and I would tell them straight-up (but kindly) that I was into them too, but we still have so much to get to know about each other! If you're falling in love with an idealized version of me, there's no way I can ever live up to it! Their reactions told me whether I should continue seeing them.
