happy 7k to me

in celebration i'll be making my own candles

& cookies

feel free to request

Congrats!

Where should I mail the celebratory anal beads?

They usually smell like mint but in the mouthwash way

That said I still buy a couple Christmas candles around the holidays because they're cozy.

Or, I guess snug would be a more appropriate term.

Yeah, the first time I tried using a Yankee candle it gave me a wicked headache, amongst other aches, IFYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN!

They didn't tell me you're supposed to take the glass lid off first.

Oh, my bad, it wasn't actually an official Yankee Candle. It was this one:

Put anotha sticka butta innit

is this the pussy candle

fuck was that your joke, sorry

Thanks, I'll try that next time. The 27 Rams I gave it before it finally got in there were a bit much, if I'm being honest.

No worries.

Happy 7k Joey Golds!

:shrug: I'm completely unaware how they actually smell, it's just an ingrained tradition with Christmas for me. Like I don't even think about it. It's Christmas so gotta buy Christmas candles.

Right, it's like how I associate the smell of a peach tart with the pangs of 27 rams.

Every so often I succumb to the delusion that I am one of those moms/wives who lights scented candles at home. I have one scented candle that someone gave to me for Christmas in 2021. I’ve lit it less than ten times because each time the smell makes me feel ill. I think it’s oil based as well. So I’m essentially filling my house with petrochemical fumes. I feel unsettled every time I light it, and when I can’t take it any more, I snuff it out and then open the windows for fresh air

at what point in this thread was a "pussy candle" joke made

I looked it up and apparently it’s soy. But I just don’t like it

I like the look of your candle though Ram. I want to get one now, and see if it’s any better

I'm fond of diffusers, but essential oils are too expensive and also apparently a lot of them are not great to breathe in (I haven't done my research on which ones are good or bad). I just kinda default to lavender because citrus scents just smell like cleaning products and I'd rather just use incense for scents like patchouli or sandalwood and that stuff.

ooh haha i had ordered a cheap set of essential oils + diffuser on amazon but then decided to cancel and try the candle instead

kinda wish i didn't, there's a lot of hokum about essential oils you can kinda trick yourself to believe. plus it's more interactive

it is a good candle tho

I don't really look into all the hippy claims about essential oils calming you or having whatever effect on you. I just like good smells.

Essential oils definitely give me a headache and/or nausea. Especially lavender.

i do not. did u put ur dick in the flame or something?

christmas marketing done gotcha. ur like one of those fools who go googoogaga over pumpkin spice errthing when it turns fall

i have an oil diffuser and incense even but i will not light up anything meant to smell like a cookie or f'ing 'christmas'

ram, try to quit amazon, will ya?

I started burning oils a while back. At the moment I like Myrrh and Rose Musk, they make my room smell awesome.

This one is for Alterboi. A chocolate banana black bean smoothie, made with almond milk and dates, and served next to several children's toys in a tacky plastic cup.

what'd those beans ever do to you?!

D:

I'm perpetually on the hunt for low fat/high protein recipes that supposedly satisfy dessert cravings, and bean smoothies are a surprisingly popular mention. I didn't notice the beans at all, but after my first sip, I said "this tastes healthy" out loud, probably because almond milk and cocoa powder both taste like chalk. And then I felt my blood sugar spike about 30 minutes later. I have no plans to repeat it.

it reminds me of my grandma, ok??

Lavender drives bugs away too, if that's your thing

that's no excuse

loving my grandmother will always be an excuse

What does this have to do with what I said? Can't blame grandma for that!

We’re trying to save money so I’m using up some protein powder we bought for my son, he didn’t like it so it’s just been sitting in the fridge. It expired in January but I figured it would still be fine because it’s just milk powder and we kept it in the fridge, and expiry dates are just suggestions for products like these surely

But then I threw it up in the staff bathroom at work and now I can’t face drinking any more of it

I’ll probably try again in a few days, just in case it was something else that made me sick

chuck it
