      I'm someone who can eat multiple pounds of blueberries in one sitting. Next time, try spraying them thoroughly with vinegar and letting them soak for at least 5min, 10 or even 20 is better. Then rinse thoroughly with water. There are some tummy upsetting molds and bacterias that are neutralized by the vinegar. This works for any berries or easily spoilt produce. It's majorly cut down on the "consequences" of my grape and berry binges.

      Yeah, I do a vinegar bath when brining berries home from the grocery store. Just fill a mixing bowl with water, then add like two cups of white distilled vinegar. Let the berries soak while you put away the rest of the groceries.

      I started doing it after I had some strawberries get visibly moldy only one day after I bought them. I was pissed. Since I started soaking them in diluted vinegar, they don’t get moldy anymore. They literally dry out and shrivel before they go bad. I just dunk the entire container into the mixing bowl, and let the entire thing float while I put my groceries away. Then give them a quick rinse with the sink sprayer before they go in the fridge.

      When I notice them starting to dry out, I just move them to the freezer instead; They still taste fine, so after they start to dry, I use them in smoothies instead.

        By stepping back into an abusive relationship and not knowing how to get out without fear of the person committing suicide and leaving 3 children with no parent.

            Left my iron plugged in for a week without realizing it.

            Accidentally caused massive heat wave. Sorry folks, but I unplugged it so temps should start to go down now.

            You mind leaving it plugged in mid January and through Feb? Maybe cycle it a bit so we still get snow, but not below freezing temps.

                Yeah, I wish there was a way to delete a post with out deleting it to preserve comments.

                Maybe an "abandon" feature. It removes your user name from public view and does a simple find and replace to remove your name in the comments. The post can live on, but now you have nothing to do with it.
                The user would have a "abandoned post" counter, this so we know if a user is constantly abandoning posts and can block them. Or put a hard cap, more than 2 a month = banned from posting until mod appeal. Posts with 0 comments face no penalty and are deleted.

                Someone still needs to be able reference to the original poster for modding and blocking purposes.

                  My friend wants to play games with me last weekend, but I completely forgot. It's something she wanted to do for her birthday since we're states apart and our schedules are weird. She said she's fine, but I can tell I disappointed her by missing such a simple request and I feel absolutely terrible.

                  However, it was a wake up call. I've been very lethargic and tired, but I just kind of ignored it, but it's now affecting my friendship, so I'm going to try to make some changes to help with my energy. I don't want to disappoint her again if I can help it.

                      Yesterday I didn’t sleep, it was hot and couldn’t sleep.

                      Got up at 4am, went to work, ran errands. Then as I was driving I put the car in reverse in the freeway instead of 6th gear. What the fuck. Grinding noise.

                      Turns out the car no longer goes in reverse. I believe I bent the teeth in the synchro gears.
                      Fuuuu, need to pull the transmission and take it all apart. I don’t even have concrete or anything yet. I have lived here 6 months on raw land. I guess for the next few years I need to push the car if I get stuck lol

                      I plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.

                        I saw online a cool idea for “pinwheel burgers” and wanted to make them for my kids.

                        • assembled them after work, had the younger one select and apply the spices
                        • discovered most of the veggies were dead, and I never bought Cole slaw or cucumbers
                        • put them on the grill but when I went to flip them discovered I’d run out of propane
                        • restarted with a new tank but went inside because of the heat and humidity
                        • came out to flip the burgers and discovered a raging fire, and burgers like hockey pucks.

                        Luckily I had sufficient backup but after anticipating a new variation of burger and a new variation of Cole slaw, we had dinner two hours late, plain burgers, no veggies

                          It's a great song to have stuck in your head.

                          All the sequels came out far apart. If you haven't seen them yet, I'm excited for you to find out about the 30 minute grand finale.

                                I'm on vacation and I stepped on a red anthill, and by stepped on I mean I sat on a ledge with my foot hanging over the anthill for about 10 minutes before stepping down onto it.

                                Stuck my foot in the pool to try to get rid of them only to ruin my only pair of pants and walking shoes I had for 3 days before we could do laundry/get the shoe dry. Also they just do not sell afterbite where I am so I've been trying different shitty creams that haven't done much for the ~15 ant bites I have on my leg.

                                Also this was a few days after I forgot one of our travelling phones on a bus and it was not recovered.

                                Also, it was my only pair of pants because I had ruined my other pair of pants when I slipped and fell into a puddle.

                                  That's quite rude. I'm lucky at my work they just throw the food out and wash the Tupperware.

                                          I can see you on the hill
                                          Comatose but walking still
                                          Curves beneath your flowing gown
                                          Only I could bring you down

                                          Why do I keep fuckin' up?
