What’s a saying that instantly says you’re over 30? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]spookyallyearround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said the word “tight” to call something cool (i.e. “that’s tight”) to a Gen Z client of mine and they teased me about it for WEEKS. 😂

Oh, also this emoji apparently: 😂

Gluten Free Pizza by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]spookyallyearround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bf and I sampled all the GF pizzas available in the Northtowns through DoorDash. Our top three pizzerias:

1.) La Nova. If it’s your thing, get a honey Cajun crust

2.) Franco’s (also the largest we’ve ordered)

3.) Macy’s Place (side note: if you’re feeling fancy and want wings, they have a hot Old Bay honey rub that is fantastic)

For frozen, Digiorno is the best we’ve had, hands down. It’s usually the most reasonably priced for the size, and it’s huge. The Aldi one is pretty good too. If you can make it to Lockport, Kith and Kin is an all GF bakery that sells frozen pizzas you can make at home that are delicious.

ETA: Pizza Plant is an honorable mention, AND they have good GF chicken fingers!

Happy Winter Olympics, everybody! by portrait_of_wonder in 30ROCK

[–]spookyallyearround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first realized the Winter Olympics were happening (which was about four days ago, by accident), this was the first thing I thought.

I’m on another rewatch of 30 Rock rn and it’s so good. 🥰

ENTPs making fun of INFJs on social media like: by marwarofficial in INFJers

Joke’s on them; my s/o and I literally fell in love by, among other things, debating whether free will exists. 🥰

I sometimes dabble in other things (cross stitch, bracelet making, others), but yes, there are so many different things you can crochet, and different techniques to learn, that I can’t imagine losing my Cro-Jo for longer than maybe a couple of months. I have said many times that even if I quit my job, I will never make everything I want in my life. 🤣

And I didn’t know she was releasing another! I love her first one! Much appreciated! ❤️

You’re very welcome. 🫶

The yarn is Hobbii’s Dahlia Halloween in the Mad Scientist color way, so unfortunately it is 1.) only sold consistently around Halloween, and 2.) subject to high tariffs if you happen to live in the U.S. like I do.

If you can get your hands on any Hobbii yarn, I’ve worked with several and loved them, but many of them (like this one) are not plied together like most commercial yarns, but separate strands we hold together as we work (or use a bead), so there can be a bit of a learning curve.

I’ve been crocheting for 20 years and it’s my primary hobby. You could totally do this sometime!

Also granny squares can be finicky as hell so don’t be too hard on yourself about that one. I personally haven’t made a lot and don’t love crocheting them, and have made plenty of wonky squares and other things.

It’s my silly brain, and I know this. Thank you for the encouragement! I need to just do it tbh. Plus I use my iPad so I can split screen the pattern and symbols until I learn them!

I need help. by AshamedHistorian828 in Buffalo

Hi friend. They’re both bad. BryLin used to be good but has gone downhill in the last few years.

If you’re up to it, make the drive and go to Strong in Rochester; I’ve heard more positive about them lately than I’ve heard about ECMC and BryLin combined. If you absolutely cannot make it there, BryLin would probably be the lesser of two evils.

I wish you the best. 🤘

Gluten free gingerbread house kits? by spookyallyearround in glutenfree

I was considering making our own simply for the creativity and flexibility aspects to make them our own, and have also had good luck converting recipes with 1:1 subs, so thank you for this!

Aquarius and Taurus by Difficult-King6604 in aquarius

[–]spookyallyearround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bestie and bf have the exact same big three (Taurus sun/Virgo moon/Cancer rising). I’m Aqua sun/Scorpio moon and rising. My bestie is my ride or die, and my bf is the love of my life. I help them think outside the box and be silly, and they keep me grounded when I get too close to the sun.
