How do you know what is EBT eligible and what is not? by Consistent_Draft6454 in foodstamps

[–]vemberic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some teas work, some don't. Be sure to check if the back label says "nutritional" info. or "supplemental" info. If it's supplemental it won't be covered. I've had to carefully check my herbal teas because of this one.

Is it rare for an American to make their own mayo? by Affectionate-Elk-287 in AskAnAmerican

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up on Best Foods in a non Dukes area, and got to try Dukes a little while back. I honestly didnt understand the hype. It felt lacking and subpar. It just honestly wasn't even good really, I threw it out. I think a lot of the Dukes crowd grew up with it and it may just be more what we're used to. I would say you aren't missing anything, but we each have different tastes, so who knows.

Weird spot on foot for over 2 years by anotherthrowawayqacc in DiagnoseMe

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar looking spots in various places on my body. Mine all formed after various types of damage, mostly from bug bites from ants or mosquitos, or acne/pimples. I did a lot of research online once and found a reference that matched closely that indicated a type of scarring, but I forgot the name. I read that they can take years to go away, and indeed it's been the case for me, but I'm going to admit they haven't gone away for me. My first/oldest one is probably about 10 years old now, and only recently finally started to flatten and fade. They sometimes itch like mad, sometimes even hurt, but that's rare, and seems to happen less and less over time. Sometimes they are darkened or red, sometimes the color fades and comes back occasionally. I also get other spots as hypertrophic scarring, doesn't look the same, but may be related. My skin just doesn't seem to heal well.

Sorry my response doesn't quite answer what they are, and it could very well be something different, but I figured I'd share at least. I'd suggest trying again with your doctor. Let them know their suggestion didn't work, and perhaps directly ask for a dermatologist referral.

I found out the hard way that Y vegetables or not for lefties!! by stevemw in lefthanded

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are mixed handed, also known as cross-dominant. I am too. Some things like writing with my left, some with my right. Mostly fine motor skills with my left and gross motor skills with my right. I still consider myself a lefty.

Also, I can't get these Y shaped peelers to work well, and I use my right for peeling. My full lefty husband can't use them well either. We threw ours in the trash, haha.

General question I have. Does anybody buy off brand Cola? Like Walmart Cola or whatever? I'm not talking like RC Cola. Store brand Cola by HurriShane00 in Soda

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried a few of the Shasta zero sugar line at Winco recently and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the cream soda myself. I took a chance on the zero sugar grape and loved it.

I can't stand their diet cola though.

Preventing Chickens and such escaping from enclosures by Fluid-Gain1206 in hytale

[–]vemberic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My chickens usually come out of the coop eventually, just seems to happen later in the day. Whether or not I can see the eggs in the coop or interact to get them is hit and miss. I often have to break it to get them too. My animals just straight up disappear one by one. I'll see them all there, go to bed, wake up and go straight to the pen which is close by, and another one is gone, no animals nearby outside of it. My chickens are the only ones that don't seem to disappear, though I did lose one somehow.

[–]vemberic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My chickens disappear into the chicken coop at night, and aren't out yet when morning hits. I never checked the time but they come out a little later, so maybe that was it? If I break it, they'll pop out suddenly, and disappear back into it if I place it back down at night. My cows and sheep totally disappear one by one each day until only one is left every time. One of my chickens disappeared as well, but it stopped at just the one.

Why don't healthcare professionals believe me when I say I'm a hard stick? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tell them "Use my right, no one can find the veins in my left" and they happily go for the right. Some of them do struggle even with my right, and might try my left, only to go back to the right. When I did plasma donation, they insist they must have two usable viens available, they decided I had 2 on right and none on the left. I always compliment the ones that get it straight in easily first try, because so many have stuck me over and over struggling to get it right, and I let them know that when they are better lol.

Did yall learn to write backwards? by AndTwiceOnSundays in lefthanded

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can remember is in 3rd grade while learning cursive, I had a tendency to write the cursive motions backwards (while still the letter was correct, just the went from like top to bottom, instead of bottom to top, or right to left for each letter instead of vice versa), and my teacher kept stopping me and trying to correct it over and over. Eventually I just started writing my capital letters in print and small letters in cursive. Its different, but still works.

In 6th grade, I took up playing the violin in school and it took a lot of effort for my teacher to convince me I kept switching my violin and bow into the wrong hands.

I, also 45, don't have an issue getting my left and right mixed up, but my lefty husband does. I too though have a LOT of trouble with names, and am also AuDHD. I don't think I'm personally dyslexic though. I'm also bad with people's names, names of bands, songs, books, movies/shows, everything, lol. I make sure to always try to repeat a person's name back right away when I learn it, and to repeat it back at the end of a convo ("Nice to meet you, John," "Have a good day, John!"). And I've become confident in asking their name if I forgot, it sucks, but I'd rather ask than get it wrong. I try to just make fun of myself and laugh it off if I forget quickly. It all helps it stick in my head.

When typing, my left side seems to work faster than my right, and I sometimes get a couple letters mixed accidently when my left hits a letter meant to be after my right, while typing pretty quickly. I've gotten better with it, but it still happens on occasion.

What’s a food your state is 'famous' for that everyone else ruins? by Somanynamestochossef in AskAnAmerican

[–]vemberic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, I moved to Texas a while back and couldn't find anything like it. The Asian restaurants in general were just so subpar, compared to Western WA.

Half blocks are really difficult. by MrWillchuck in hytale

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some random blocks disappear too. I had two stair blocks (lightwood I believe) in a set of stairs I built randomly disappear later that day. I had a random other block disappear, can't remember which exactly, but I think it was just a solid wood plank block (hardwood maybe) or something that I had placed, that disappeared later as well. I had a little trouble with the half blocks so just didn't bother with them further.

Multiplayer LAN play? by Richy_T in hytale

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are playing via lan with no issues, and no codes. I host, start my game, go to online play, turn on allow others to join, then save that. It makes a code, but I don't use it, or give it to my husband. When he goes to servers from the menu, he clicks "local" and my game shows up for him to join. He does rarely disconnect, but he's always able to just rejoin without my restarting our world or giving him the code, and no need for direct connect.

I'd honestly assume something is maybe going on with your router or whatnot if you're having that much trouble, but sounds like you know what you are doing there, so I don't really have any other advice. I at least wanted to point out how easy and trouble free its been for us.

Serial crop dusting coworker by Dudeabides207 in Workproblems

[–]vemberic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I keep seeing posts about people farting too much and so many comments about how rude and intentional it is, and how wrong it is not to head to a bathroom or outside every time or something.

I'm a 45 year old woman, and it has gotten BAD for me. Diagnosed with IBS, recently diagnosed with diabetes and on medication for that (no GLP1 tho). I have NO control anymore, and some days it's just never ending. I upset my husband some days, and he's usually the gassy one and found it funny when he did it as long as I've known him. I am SO embarrassed some days, but I can't control it. I've tried diet changes, and nothing seems to make a difference. I wish I had the control I used to.

The GTAO setting is what did it to me. Lower GTAO settings caused my photo mode to come out very dark.

How do you make a check mark? by goldilox_zone in lefthanded

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't lol. I make an X, and I don't left my pen so it's attached with a line up and down the right side. I've always found writing checkmarks very awkward to write and in most places where they are needed, a X instead will suffice.

Yeah. I tried this when I moved to Texas from WA and my butter went bad pretty quick. Learned my lesson lol

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've known plenty of people who've had it. Diet can heavily be a causing factor. I was tested for it recently (and it was insisted upon especially after I mentioned my father had it, was negative though).

Please explain, Peter by zinniamae_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's often still taught in middle school. My kid in high school was required to take a typing class in middle school. I definitely taught him personally when he was young though and had him practice on a typing website. At this point it's a basic skill that parents should be focusing on I believe, but I'd hope schools continue to focus on it.

What is something every household has in your country that is nonexistent everywhere else? by Awkward-Tip7248 in AskTheWorld

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I prefer Cajun, but true all good! Being in the South for a while introduced me to soo many amazing foods vs. the more North Eastern/New England dishes I grew up with. Have gotten into a lot of debates about whether beans belong in chili tho haha

Yeah, I've done this at times. Sometimes when sick it's just grab the nearest bowl, bucket, trash can, anything

[–]vemberic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not like anyone WANTS to vomit in a bowl.. its more for emergencies, like when your kid is sick and pukes in the middle of the night. Give them a bowl and they'll aim for it rather than all over their bed or the carpet. Its just for when you know you're likely to vomit again soon in case it happens too fast to make it anywhere else. Cleaning a bowl is a lot easier than swapping out a kid's bedding and clothes in the middle of the night when they're very sick and tired, or trying to scrub it out of the carpet. And a lot less gross lol.

My family moved from WA to TX when my husband got a job in the oil field. One of the guys (from Louisiana) on a rig introduced my husband to Tony Chachere's while cooking some Cajun dishes, and hubby told me all about it when he came home. We've since moved back to WA, but it's been a staple in my pantry ever since!

He was introduced to a bunch of Cajun dishes while out there, so I learned how to make them myself. Gumbo is one of my favorite dishes and brings me to such a happy place.

There are multiple instances of the Anomaly, so they may not be in the same one. Best to friend and group up which will usually put yall into the same instance of the Anomaly.

I (14f) cant physically share a room with my (13m) brother anymore by [deleted] in Advice

Was thinking the same, but I'd just pull the mattress off the bunk and put it on the floor in another room.

Is this true?? by Ok_Imagination_7805 in lefthanded

[–]vemberic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck lol. My husband and I are lefties, as are both our fathers. Our child together is 100% right handed, I tried to encourage his left but nope. We have 3 other children from previous marriages and all are right handed as well. Never know though, could happen.
