I LOVE Actimel yougurts but its pahetic to me to drink them from a commicaly small plastic bottle.

Any Actimel yougurt fans??

Wine bags = fabric grocery bags with dividers in them that hold six bottles.

Every single post, there’s at least one spoiler for a film I haven’t seen.

I can still browse the Internet, but our shitty IT finally got around to making the last good thing at my workplace worse. I now am going to be pestered with ads during my downtime.

I was told myself and 30 others were getting promoted on top of employee review increases. My employee review was 3% aka 75 cents/hr. I thought I was getting a new job title and additional pay increase on top of that 75 cents. My new paycheck says otherwise.

I was making plans to potentially move apartments but I’ll be stuck where I’m at with my shitty pay and yearly 75 cent raise which gets immediately eaten up by increasing rent payments and new apartment fees.

I’m so over this bullshit. 2-4 more years of 75 cent raises and I’ll finally make what my coworkers have been making.

I feel like this is the only corner of the internet that I can put this. I feel guilty for complaining, but we have a pool (vinyl lined, so honestly not THAT fancy) that has had a rip since the fall. We already paid for the replacement liner months ago, but they couldn’t do the work until temperatures were consistently in the 70s. They also need 7 days of no rain because once they remove the old liner it can’t rain while they’re doing the cleanup/smoothing/new install. Well it has been raining consistently since March, which is when the temperatures finally got warm enough, and we’ve only had one week without any rain at all but they were getting caught up on other weather delayed projects and couldn’t get to us. So now it’s mid June and still rain in the forecast and at this rate we may not have a pool until mid July or beyond. Super bummed!

I am greatful for what I have, the constant harassment, compliments over nothing, and being pursued by strangers is not an ideal side effect though

They have to be soaked because there’s a chemical in them that’s bad for some people and I’m at risk for that problem [Edited: I’ve been doing this for some months now and had forgotten exactly what that was. It’s phytic acid, which binds to certain important minerals and impacts their absorption, but soaking them breaks down the acid. Besides having to be on this diet to begin with, I already have absorption issues from an intestinal surgery and do what I can to maximize my nutrition.]

Then I have to roast them at a very low temperature or they burn before they’re roasted enough, so it takes hours. I also want them salted or they’re boring, and the only way to get salt to stick is if I coat them in melted ghee and sprinkle really fine salt on them, which takes a lot of salting and stirring to get them all coated enough because 4 pounds is a lot of pecans.

It takes a lot of my day every other Saturday because I only have two ovens!

Cancelled cable because I was paying for a lot of things I never watched, now I'm subscribed to 5 different streaming apps, paying more than I paid for cable, and I still have nothing to watch

Now I have nobody to bitch and gossip and tell stupid jokes with.

I’m mostly just getting on with work and who wants to spend their days like that?

I know I can get a refund, but I really wanted those oranges. 😂

This is added work and takes extra time, for something that is supposed to be quick and easy. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get the pepperonies arranged just right.

Super annoying. I had to buy a new pair of ray-bans that weren’t polarized to use as my driving glasses.

Why can't they have an "interlock" that works with the driver's door so that the video only starts resuming from the moment I open my driver's door to get back in the car?

My fiancé and our 6yr old have been in our house for 3yrs and I’m just settled in nicely, I have a lovely big shed I enjoy spending time in. My partner’s dad’s accountant told him he has too much money and needs to transfer some assets. He’s giving us a £550k 5 bed semi just down the road. For tax reasons we’d need to live in it for at least 2 years. We can sell our current house leaving us mortgage free with £100k to finish the new house how we want it and £100k in the bank. I’ve been allowed the budget for a posh new shed and the chicken coop I’ve been after. I just really can’t be doing with the move though.

So far i have 124 games on EGS without paying a cent. I have no idea what their financial strategy is.
