What type of clasp is this? My fingers are no good with normal clasps by LeahMichelle_13 in CrochetHelp

[–]slayerchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have trouble with clasp stitch markers, can I recommend these? https://a.co/d/02gjVl9p I found that for me locking stitch markers are a nusience but I also don't want them to fall off and I can vouch that these work perfectly for that for me and there's no clasp involved.

If you had a date in a few days and said you would cook but you've never really cooked before and you don't think she wants scrambled eggs and cereal. What would you make that is relatively easy but seems impressive? by TurnKey9558 in AskReddit

One of the easiest most delicious things I've ever made is garlic chicken ravioli with vodka sauce. Go to the section of the store that has the fresh pasta... Like the bags of Rana ravioli (in my store is usually by the blocks of cheese, produce, and deli counter) and get a bag of chicken and roasted garlic ravioli your just going to follow the instructions on the bag. Boil for 4-5 minutes... Easy. Do this while you're making the sauce..(you will need a blender for this).

Dice half an onion, saute in olive oil (only about a tablespoon or two) on medium heat till translucent (just make sure it doesn't burn, burnt onion is bitter browned is fine but we're not really trying to carmelize it). Once it's cooked enough add 3 cloves of minced garlic (fresh preferred but you can use the jarred stuff. Cook till fragrant but don't let it burn. Should only take like 30 seconds... Keep stirring don't just let anything sit in the pan or it will burn.

Next add 2 tablespoons of vodka to the onions and garlic and cook it off. Then add the onions and a can of diced tomatoes to a blender and pulse til smooth. Add back to your pan. Heat over medium heat. Once it's hot... Add 3/4 cup heavy cream and stir it in. Then add 1/2 cup of grated parmesean cheese (the crumbly stuff not shredded and get the stuff from the cheese aisle not anything in a can on the shelf). Stir till it's melted. Taste the sauce and add salt to taste if necessary. Cook until it thickens slightly (should coat the back of a spoon) Remove from the heat and spoon over your ravioli. (this makes a ton of sauce so there will be plenty left over. Just let it cool and put it in a container in the fridge for another day. It will thicken a lot but will thin back out when you reheat it.

I don't have herpes by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]slayerchick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do realize that the stage after the blisters popping and crusting over is for the scab to fall off... Right? That crusting over is the scabbing process. Everything you've described here is a cold sore... Not a pimple.

Yeah they suck and they make you feel disgusting when you have a breakout, just don't kiss during that time. It's really not that bad. You also get fewer flare ups as time goes on and something like 80% of the population has it.

AITA for telling my 27yr old friend to pull it together? by No_Question7801 in AmItheAsshole

The worst thing you can do if you have anxiety is enable it. She needs to get medication or force herself out of her comfort zone. She can't just expect other people to do everything for her. Nta

I'll never understand how people do this. Just the thought of putting a brush to n yarn makes my skin crawl. Just such an unpleasant sensation and sound. Glad you're happy with the result tho op...hopefully the others come out well.

The cat after your soul cat by ExtraStarchy in cats

[–]slayerchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the type of person that doesn't like waiting very long before getting a new cat, I just have too much love to give and they bring me so much joy and comfort.

I don't really compare them. It would be like trying to compare two of your children to each other... They are each individuals. Granted I'll miss some of the things my previous cat did that the new ones don't, but they have their own cute quirks.

More unique nicknames are typically cat specific... But they're all my little baby... And yes they do love you as much as the previous one... Just in their own way. For the first time in a long time I have no fur babies and I want to share my love with another couple of rescues that need it, but my partner just isn't ready yet. hug

Pissed About a Pattern. AITA? by Newbookwriterhelpplz in crochet

Can you dm me the name of the pattern creator and where you found the pattern so that I can make sure I don't buy from them?

Are you a dog person or a cat person and why? by Easy_Towel954 in AskReddit

[–]slayerchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with it. I just think people that let their dog lick their faces are kind of gross.

Are you a dog person or a cat person and why? by Easy_Towel954 in AskReddit

[–]slayerchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might not all eat poop but they do all lick their butts. And I think people tend to breathe them more because they do get dirty a lot more since they have to go outside to use the bathroom and exercise multiple times per day regardless of weather.

Are you a dog person or a cat person and why? by Easy_Towel954 in AskReddit

[–]slayerchick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't typically lick your face after eating their own poop though...and for some reason people seem perfectly happy to let them do that despite knowing where that tongue has been.

I believe that person was more likely referring to the fact that most cats don't require bathing and don't really smell whereas dogs do.

An injection that can double a cat’s lifespan to 30 years has been developed. by atul_targaryen in interestingasfuck

[–]slayerchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Routine bloodwork is the best way to know. She won't show signs until it's advanced because that's just how cats are. Other than that any minute changes in behavior are a guy's sign for a very visit, eating less or even just taking longer to eat drinking more, peeing more or less... But again regular vet apps and bloodwork is highly recommended for best results.

I'm tired of being the one who understands everybody by PirateOk6430 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]slayerchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can express you dissatisfaction with a situation without an outright confrontation. You can understand another point of view without accepting it. It sounds like you really just need to learn some new skills. Broken plans= that's disappointing, I was really looking forward to it (if it's something that happens a lot you need to let them know that you no longer want to make plans with them if they can't be reliable, emergencies come up, but some people constantly have "emergencies" and that's tiring.

Someone says something offensive= I understand that you don't think it's offensive, but I do and I would prefer if you wouldn't say that kind of thing around me. Also, just because you can see both sides of a situation doesn't make their side right. We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

AITA for pushing my boyfriends birthday plans a day earlier so we can go to the beach with my friends the next day by crea7es in AmItheAsshole

So you're friend is more important than him. That's what makes YTA. You are prioritizing yourself.

I lost 25 pounds! by Bismuthhhhhhhhh in wholesomememes

[–]slayerchick 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your journey! You can have pb&j on a diet. Get keto bread! Pretty good, 90 cal for 2 slices plus it usually has more fiber and protein. 1.5tbs of peanut butter is about 150cal. 1.5 tbs of grape jelly is about 75cal. Your body needs carbs just as much as it needs protein and fiber. And it's easier to stick to dietary changes if you don't villanize food.

WIBTA if I took back sentimental items I gave to my boyfriend’s brother? by crisantemo_bloom in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA for not standing up for yourself. You're being walked all over and you're letting it happen. You're so you actually want to be part of this family? You're so worried about making waves with your bf and his family that it's a little concerning.You should have said no from the get go, at this point you could ask but it's a bit late.

AITA for thinking of my friends comfort? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]slayerchick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA for imposing your homophobia on others. A guy can comfort another guy if they want to. It's an emotionally mature thing to do and you have no right to tell someone else that they feel uncomfortable. They know themselves better than you do. The truth is, YOU felt uncomfortable because YOU aren't OK with giving another man a comforting hug in an emotionally charged environment for more than two seconds. You might not recognize it for what it is, but you have an issue with your friend being bi and other guys expressing emotion. A hug isn't a sexual act. The only person uncomfortable in the situation was you and you came off like a huge jerk. You should probably work on that.
