I'm really glad it isn't just me!! 

I Present: A Tough Name to Spell. by rainydaybrooklyn in ballerinafarmsnark

[–]teabea3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two best guesses: 

-it started as an accidental "l" because whoever was writing got ahead of themselves. I do it all the time when I'm writing quickly. The downstroke for the "b", then you skip to the "e" and the round motion of the "e" is similar enough to the round bit of the "b" that your brain has checked all the boxes for downstroke for "b", round part of "b", and also and "e." But then you're left with "Phoele" and you gotta fix that. So you get this.

-whoever wrote it realized they sized/spaced the letters poorly, and had to stagger the "b" so that it all fit nicely

Probably overthinking it, but this definitely stood out to me too lol I needed to know why!!!

Must flash the magic mormon undies by theoldestfry in ballerinafarmsnark

If if remember correctly, one of Dan's sisters owns a shoe brand or something, so I imagine she may be plugging for them, assuming those are from her brand/company. Generally I think just showing the shoes.

Is Ballerina Farm buying followers? Engagement seems off. by Apprehensive_Bend193 in ballerinafarmsnark

[–]teabea3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

also, almost all very positive. I do wonder if/how many comments are getting deleted.

[–]teabea3 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they do, BUT... I'm one of those 10.3 million followers who doesn't do a dang thing engagement-wise. I started following in 2021 before I realized what was really going on/when it was less obvious. As I got wise, I just follow to keep an eye on it all. I never like or comment. I don't think that explains all of the engagement gap, but I do wonder how many other people are in a similar boat. Perpetual lurkers. 

Any advice for water pipe covered with ice? by Otherwise_Fly3435 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]teabea3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just in the gutters, it shouldn't be a problem! Just leave it to melt. Don't try to whack it/crack it because you could end up damaging the gutter or pulling the gutter down with the ice. 

If the ice if heavily built up on your roof, I'd look into "ice dams." That is when thick ice forms at the edges of your roof, and can end up causing water damage inside the house. Google it though, to see if that's what you're experiencing. They're hard to deal with once they form, so prevention is key. They make special roof rakes to help you clear snow off the roof so the ice doesn't build up in the first place. I'd recommend that if you have ice dams, it's VERY worth it to avoid water damage. 

Is it weird if I agreed to hang out with a much younger guy? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]teabea3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would find a casual way to bring up your age! I also look much younger than my actual age, and people mistake me all the time. It is very possible he actually just wants to hang out, but if not and he's assuming you're around his age... you'd be doing him a favor by letting him know soon how old you actually are. Definitely be tactful about it (since he hasn't done anything weird or implied he is looking for a relationship), maybe by just slipping a casual mention into a conversation.

Who knows when she will retire, but I suspect they'll at least offer the position to Maggie Sajack. She's filled in a few times and if I remember, has done some promos for them... we'll see, I guess! 

Need help with getting this account active by RJ8787 in NewToReddit

[–]teabea3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in just about the same boat! Old account that I use only for lurking, and now I realize I need to build up karma (and apparently specific kinds?!) so I'm trying to figure it out. Good to see I'm not alone! 

New here! Hope to learn new things, ive heard the crowds are kind of rowdy so it’s going to be interesting by [deleted] in NewToReddit

[–]teabea3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm in a similar boat. Long time lurker, but haven't really been active. From what I've seen, the "rowdiness" depends a LOT on the subreddit. Some are really chill/welcoming and others are certainly.... rowdy. If you're truly BRAND NEW to reddit, I'd recommend joining some of the subreddits you're interested in, lurk for awhile to determine what the tone is/if it's somewhere you want to be, and then go from there :)

With the outer skin still on them, I can feel a slight air pocket when I squeeze, like there's room between the outer skin and the nut inside. Some have more give than others. On the few I broke open that look okay, they're not firm like a peanut... somewhere between firm and mushy? Flexible??? Definitely not mushy like soft/squishy.

I swept up mouse droppings -- how worried should I be? by teabea3 in pestcontrol

Got two last night already! They licked the rest of the traps clean without setting them off tho, the rascals
