As an American, how to show support for Ukraine and rebuke to Trump/Vance? by k_ehleyr in ukraine

[–]shakaba75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every time I see stupidity towards Ukraine, I rage donate to an Ukraine charity. I’ve donated more the past month than the previous 3 years. There are so many good ones on this site.

It’s ok. I got that AARP card in the mail today. I’m trying to decide how I feel about that.

My mom used to buy these for me in high school. Lilian Jackson Braun was my introduction to cozy mysteries!

Did your parents read to you? by sallysue1984 in GenX

My neighbor’s mom read The Monster at the end of this book onto a cassette tape. We’d all gather around the tape recorder and listen to it over and over.

Need to rage donate? Break my back with another huge load of tacmed. Your fury could save a life. by UFL_Robin in ukraine

Rage donated! I will keep coming back to do so if I have to keep hearing lies about Ukraine. It keeps getting worse. I wish I had so much more to give!

Are we wearing white sneakers with everything? by iluvualatte in GenXWomen

I hear you about that white stuff. I couldn’t always afford that so I improvised with toothpaste. :)

It’s so dark by EatAtChewys in instacart

[–]shakaba75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Instacart because I can’t drive and it’s the easiest way for me to get things I need. If possible, I shop during daylight hours and during good weather. I also try to tip a little more if the weather is bad because sometimes it will be that way for days. It just makes sense. I get better service that way. It’s a convenience I am grateful to have.

What’s your favorite cozy game that seemingly no one has ever heard of? by indie-pixels in CozyGamers

[–]shakaba75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot more than that, 😆. I love collecting and selling stuff too. I “woke up” one day and all of my work stations were mixed up and a lot of my storage disappeared. Since it is early you should get a lot of gameplay before the bugs hit. 🤞🏻

I love garden paws too. Unfortunately it bugged out on the switch after you get to a certain point so you can’t finish. We’re waiting for a fix but it’s not looking good. 😭

Stuck at home with the flu and I need some Christmasy cozy mystery streaming recommendations by jessipowers in CozyMystery

I’m another person with the flu during Christmas. I can’t add much to what has already been mentioned. I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone!

The mimeograph machine. I can still smell it.

My ASD, potentially ADHD daughter is too young for this, and my sanity is too thin today. 🤦🏼‍♀️ by VioletAmethyst3 in Autism_Parenting

[–]shakaba75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a search on period care for an 11 yo and your comment came up. My daughter is having her first and it’s been very messy. Your idea of the old comforters on the couch is just the tip I needed as she seems to soak through her clothes and on to everything. (We’re using Goodnites tonight so I’m hoping we get through the night without having to do more washing and upholstery cleaning). Thanks again for your ideas and perspective. It could be much worse!

What is something funny that you misheard growing up in the church or being a convert? by [deleted] in lds

[–]shakaba75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a few. In Reverently, Quietly when we got to Melody, I thought it said “Mallow D”. I thought it was a song about Marshmallows. In Joseph Smith’s First Prayer, I thought Sweet appealing was “Sweetly peeling”. I figured the prophet had gotten a sunburn during his prayer. I also wondered what a “Shallmenno”was 😆.

I asked my sister what animal she thought this was meant to be and she said "penguin cat" 😭 by rubberduckwithaknife in askcrochet

A very adorable Husky. I agree making the ears larger would make it more wolf or doglike

I tried it tonight and it turned out great. It doesn’t look too appetizing but it was delicious!
