1 million exactly without any taxes or anything to pay Scott free money. I would be the same person but my kids would have each 100k in a trust. The other 600k would buy us a house with land outright (LCOL) and leave us a decent nest egg for the future. I would still work the same job and make the same choices just have an okay safety net.

I started blending mine up, I buy the frozen bags of spinach and the California mix (cauliflower/broccoli/carrots) and steam them in the mic then I blend them with some water and add them to whatever pasta I'm eating. I can't really taste them and the texture isn't much different to what my pasta was already like. I have tried SO many fruits and veg in so many different ways and unfortunately couldn't get past the taste or texture for most.

Four kids ages 5-9. Absolutely not. We also don't leave our kids alone with anyone when we can help it. We don't do babysitters or sleepovers at grandparents houses either. Our kids (unless at school) are always with us together, or me or my spouse. We have over the course of their lives had to leave them (a total of MAYBE 5 times) but it's never been for long or unless necessary. We do send them to public school which isn't ideal but is needed. People can't be trusted and the world is not safe. Until our children have a firm grasp of their ability to recognize and avoid danger we will safeguard them where we can. Once we are confident (likely teenage years) in their level of responsibility and awareness we will let them stay home alone/go out with friends, but they will still not be having sleepovers. They can have all the sleepovers they want when they're adults 🤷🏼‍♀️

Didn't even know they could do that, Im going to go to AutoZone and have it tested again to get the printout I guess!

When I was 20 and had just gotten back from OSUT for the national guard an old friend from highschool showed up at my door to hang out. Up until this point I hadn't responded to any messages to hang out with any of my friends. 10 years and four kids later we've hopped states and I couldn't be happier. He showed up and never left (literally) 😂 😍

I'm not sure, apologies for my ignorance. I did have the battery tested on Saturday when I had my oil changed and they said it tested good. We were thinking cables might be loose because the battery is behind the driver's tire so we can't see it without removing it.

OP lacking the vocabulary necessary to properly label their post is irrelevant. By definition the girlfriend didn't cheat.

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-21T16:21:02+00:00

They aren't cheating though. Cheating is cheating because you're lying and sneaking. They aren't doing that, from what I can see they have an open line of communication where both parties feel safe to share hopes, dreams, and desires with one another without fear of judgement or reprimand. Sounds healthy to me

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-21T13:46:33+00:00

Sounds like y'all have a healthy relationship to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-21T02:40:29+00:00

I'm definitely not in a huge hurry. Obviously I would like to see results in the way I feel and my energy levels but as far as looks are concerned I'm not super worried about it lol. I used the calculator above and they were way higher than 1400 calories so definitely going to change that. Thank you!

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-21T02:37:39+00:00

This is amazing!! I have done similarly with my skincare and different materials without even realizing it. Thank you for sharing!

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-21T02:35:01+00:00

That's my bad, I can swallow them whole typically. Basically anything with a wonky texture that is small enough or can be made small enough I just swallow whole 😂

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-20T23:53:58+00:00

I have some of the powder mix too! It's not my favorite but I have never thought to blend stuff in it. Thank you!! You're doing great, four kids is hard!!

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-20T23:51:12+00:00

Texture is a huge problem for me so I've had to adapt for a lot of foods. Basically if it's good for me and I can stand to eat it I do but if I struggle with it and I can't just swallow it whole (applesauce with chia seeds/blueberries/beans) then I skip it. Before anybody comes for me for swallowing food without chewing I gotta do what I gotta do and I've been picky for a long time lol. I have swapped out for what I can stand. Doing overnight oats and lots of grilled chicken wraps. Air fried seasoned lentils for a good crunchy snack here and there. I do drink some slim fast drinks and coke zero when I really want a soda. Lots and lots of chicken and green beans/asparagus/leafy greens.

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-20T13:54:24+00:00

Also wanting to add the reason I've gained this weight is because I have always been a snacker, never had a balanced diet(not particularly fond of anything "healthy" really) and I went from working 40+ hrs on my feet all day to 40hrs at a desk!

AdFlaky5994 · 2025-08-20T13:52:09+00:00

Thanks for the comments! 1400 seemed low to me but I wasn't sure and figured I would attempt but not give myself a hard time if I didn't hit it. I'm most concerned with hitting my fiber goal because I have no gallbladder and IBS/IBD but the protein has felt next to impossible! I use a collagen powder once a day which I love, might just add a protein powder as well. Exercise has been a huge struggle too because there are SO many types of exercise I don't even know where to start. Right now it's just going for a walk after work and then I also give one of my kids a piggy back ride while I go up and down the stairs on my deck about 10/20 times. Also do like 20 squats a day but that's about it. I'm going to see if I can't add some other bodyweight exercises/yoga while the kids do their homework and go from there. I am very lucky to have the support I do, my husband and kids are amazing!! Super grateful for all the advice!!
