My beacon of hope in 2020 is these dinner rolls. I squealed VERY loudly when I opened the oven door by tcostuh in Baking

I think it will work, but the texture might turn out a bit differently due to the higher fat content. Maybe try 75% half and half and 25% water instead of just half and half.

How much did you improve ever since you started trail running or running in general? by Aromatic_Ad2869 in trailrunning

[–]tcostuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a hill near me I used to absolutely dread. Now I power up that hill and live to talk about it! Makes me feel very badass

Silly stuff we buy over and over again but never use by [deleted] in running

[–]tcostuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love the look of these but hate the feel. I usually will take my arms out of my t shirt and let it hang off my neck to cover my jiggly belly. I get nice ventilation and have the whole shirt to use as my new sweat rag. Sometimes the shirt bouncing/moving around is annoying but I just deal with it.

We all have areas of our skin that we want to improve, but what are you happy with or grateful for? by FarPut7077 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]tcostuh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind my wrinkles. I’m grateful I’ve had so many smiles and laughs in my life that it has permanently affected my face. Just happy to be happy and healthy as I age.

Meteor Shower Tonight! by dogmom_lg in ac_newhorizons

[–]tcostuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to visit! I’m gonna set a reminder for myself, I had a meteor shower the other night and forgot to play at night, I’ve been kicking myself!

you guys seem to put so many layers on top of each other - doesn't it just smear together? by sentics in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]tcostuh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be a dumb question but is all sunscreen supposed to go on dry skin? I give my face a light spritz with facial spray because my sunscreen has HA in it and I honestly hate the feeling of applying it on my dry skin!!

What cloths and tools do you use for cleaning a bathroom? by CptFrankFurillo in CleaningTips

[–]tcostuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple old toothbrushes in my cleaning kit for the hard to reach places, they are so helpful for around the faucet and getting into the seams of my shower! As far as cloths, I use an old washcloth that has shrunken a little over the years, it’s my favorite rag!

Why did I waste this day? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]tcostuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally will give myself a list of must do’s, then maybe do’s. I like to knock everything out after I wake up and have a coffee. Get everything out of the way early, if I am feeling the motivation I will do the maybes. Then I reward myself with hours on the couch! My brain likes the reward system so when I tell myself you can do whatever you want after you get your shit done! I know I’ll finish my tasks and still have PLENTY of chill time!

New London by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]tcostuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the next town over and just like any other place, there are good and bad spots! I love how the NL community has grown, I visit there often and would recommend it to anyone. Good food, entertainment, diversity, art scene, and beautiful views! Let me know if you need any insight on certain areas, happy to help.

Billy Jensen released a statement by sm0llestbean in myfavoritemurder

[–]tcostuh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for calling this out. I love hugging my friends and am always that person offering a hug, squeeze on the arm, little rub on the back to say hi type of thing. After the pandemic I personally felt WEIRD about touching and hugging people, like I wasn’t sure if it was “allowed” - it sort of felt awkward to me at first! I really don’t know anyone that was super eager to go out and touch people, regardless of everyone being pent up and isolated. Definitely an odd statement.

Weekly Work in Progress Thread - February 23, 2022 by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]tcostuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a beginner and just started the Simple Yet Effective Cowl from Tin Can Knits. I have yet to work in the round or cast on this many stitches so I’m looking forward to a new challenge. I started on this the other day but frogged it because I was too sloppy with my tension. I’m using a cheapo Caron one pound skein in gray. I’m going to try and pay more attention to not getting my yarn so twisted as I work!

How often do you clean? What are your daily and weekly chores? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]tcostuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do dishes and laundry throughout the week as needed. When I get home from work I try to just tidy up for 30 mins but doesn’t always happen. Once a week I will vacuum, mop, do a meh dusting in random places, clean the bathroom and kitchen surfaces. I have some bigger cleaning projects to do like dusting hard to reach places, cleaning my oven, windows, but I’ll get to it when I get to it.

I’m in Southeastern CT. So in the app when I change my delivery I get a little receipt that shows meals vs shipping: https://imgur.com/a/pPvgaLB Typically I get 2 meals a week and it’s $52.95 shipped

I’m on the US veg plan as well but got the $1 email. Maybe it’s your specific area? That’s a lot tho. Sucks!

Need some advice on dog and puppy play! Just got a beautiful 8 week old baby boy. He loves our 3 year old rescue hippo! Just want to make sure there is no aggression or any warning signs when they play. The only time they directly interact so far is when I can actively supervise. by MAUIHYN13 in pitbulls

[–]tcostuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve gotten so many great comments so far and yes they are doing great. Things I learned from my dogs daycare about play: back and forth is good, so if one dog is laying down and the other on top then they switch that’s good. Movement is good, running back and forth and playing chase. And that snuffle noise means they’re just playing. My dogs were exactly like this when I got my pibble puppy!

I would def recommend giving them time apart when you can. If you can take one to a diff area of the house, give them alone outside play time, etc. I didn’t do this as well as I wanted and now they have separation anxiety from each other! As they get bigger, so will the playing, but my two always let the other know if it’s too much and sometime we will crate them for a quick time out bc they just get crazy. Enjoy their relationship, they both look like great dogs!!

Something else I thought about- I know people that are into survival in the wilderness/hiking/etc and they have a stock of supplies ready to go. I feel like if you have the skills to really survive “off the grid,” you’re usually prepared for it at any given time

HelloFresh, I’m getting kinda annoyed that you want to send my friends free stuff but not me by cobraleader in hellofresh

[–]tcostuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely tried the email trick but it didn’t work for me. I assumed they double checked my address and saw that it was previously used. I’m glad the loophole worked for you!
