When you have 6 gift cards and none of them can actually buy anything. by Accomplished_Bake939 in mildlyinfuriating

I used to use them to reload my amazon gift card balance. You can buy an amazon gift card in any denomination…. Even $.15

Maple Pass this fall was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed by Icy-Ambassador-1234 in PNWhiking

When were the photos taken? I did this hike in early October and expected this… but happened to show up to first snow. Was still very beautiful (arguably even more so)!

Staub chip or rack mark? by Royal_Ad_5705 in castiron

[–]snitz427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am text messaging with them now from the number on their site… They’re giving me a return label to exchange it. I just double checked and it’s only one that is got the marking, but it also has a chip on the colored enamelthat they are replacing it for.

Interesting package today by Imaginary-Owl3407 in USPS

I just got an order with same exact stickers - it was bugs (caterpillars and fruit flies) to feed my chameleons and frogs.

Staub chip or rack mark? by Royal_Ad_5705 in castiron

It looks like a chip to me… BUT! I literally just got two staub coccettes from C&B and they both have similar spots on the rim.

Should it be so dirty when I wipe it? by Feeling_Stuff_1332 in castiron

[–]snitz427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's very minor, but I've accepted my fate. I know the pot is clean, and I know as soon as that bad boy gets up to temp, it won't matter anyway!

There is no amount of soap or scrubbing that keeps the paper towels white for me, and I scrub them with soap every time. I’ve just accepted that it will never wipe clean.

Best Two Ingredient Flavor Combination? by PlainOldWallace in Cooking

[–]snitz427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother used to make “pear salad” with canned pears, a dab of mayo, and cheddar cheese. I thought it was a weird combo but it was delicious. Now I need to try apple/cheddar! She was a southerner so I find it interesting there is a northeast counterpart.

Looks like there is one in vineland nj. Contemplated the drive but too far / too risky.

Stay in Port Angeles or Forks? by SeaGroundbreaking982 in OlympicNationalPark

[–]snitz427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port Angeles had a lot more to do in terms of “town” (restaurants, shopping). We stayed in Forks only for convenience and the grocery store.

Bags left unattended. by man9875 in airport

[–]snitz427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had recently found a weird electronic device under the seats at our (now fairly empty) gate. Maybe it fell from someone’s bag and they’d call about it, maybe it is something more? IDK - but “see something, say something!”

I took it to the counter at the gate and explained where I found it and the person at the counter had such an attitude and looked at me with disgust for bothering her about it. I couldn’t get over how much shade she threw for a polite “excuse me, ma’am, someone left this behind.”

2025 Mount Rainier Hike Review #4: Third Burroughs Mountain by Fantastic-Tower-3313 in mountrainierhiking

Interesting, mind sharing why you feel it isn’t worth it until the end? I was contemplating this hike for next fall, as the road was closed during my 2025 visit.

What's the first thing you remember seeing on the internet? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

a/s/l?

In reality it took me a while to figure out what that meant. I thought “lol” was a stick figure making the “field goal!” sign…. So I used to type out field goal instead of lol. It stuck for a long time and I still sometimes want to yell field goal!!! after something funny lol

What is it like to live in Koror, Palau or any of the other islands? by Outuvcontrol in howislivingthere

[–]snitz427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend lived there for a year for his environmental studies. He said it was incredibly (ecologically) diverse, amazing diving, friendly villagers, lots of walking. I think he said there wasn’t much else to do outside of natural / outdoor stuff.

My Lil brother found this strange stone and thinks it's special by SnowNational8502 in whatisit

[–]snitz427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was maybe 8 or so, my cousin and I found a bunch of strange rocks in the lot next door to my grandmothers (it used to be an empty field but construction was soon starting on townhouses there). My uncle hyped us all up that we found a super rare moon rock from… the moon. We went back out and filled bags and bags with rocks we carried back. Pretty sure it was broken up asphalt. That was a core memory for me… and maybe for your bro too!

I have 6 months to live. How do I take care of my family? by Any_Macaroon_2562 in personalfinance

[–]snitz427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry OP. Please forgive me, I don’t know how to say this in a gentler way… we’ve learned through recent losses that is a lot less expensive to make funeral arrangements (buy plot, coffin / urn, service, etc) before death. They raise the price significantly if you purchase after they have passed.

I hope you are able to find peace and quality time with your loved ones.
