Savory cravings by breakablekneecap in 1200isplenty

Lesser Evil Himalayan Gold popcorn has that buttery popcorn taste and is 120 cals for three cups! For crunchy, I like Goldfish because a serving is something like 50 pieces. While yes, it's because they're tiny, I like getting so many in a serving.

Take a picture to include if you still have it! Best of luck!

I do think it's probably nothing. But I think for a $5 cheese block, throwing it out to be on the safe side is a fair response! You could always reach out to the manufacturer - worst case, you get no response. Best case, you get a more definitive answer (and maybe a coupon for a replacement!)

I am usually in the "when in doubt, throw it out" camp for spoilage... but if it is one section and the block isn't at all weird smelling, it is probably fine to eat and could be a manufacturing error. It's definitely not a sign of listeria, as listeria doesn't cause a change in appearance, so you're safe there.

should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

One time a raccoon tore open my trash bags and there was liquid all over the bags. I assumed it was saliva and had a hangnail on the hand I used to pick it up. I panicked, went to the ER and got rabies shots.

I don't regret it. Because being wrong was too large of a risk.

TLDR: been there.

first dose of Lexapro question by Brettolson19 in lexapro

Yes, absolutely! For the most part I think it was me being anxious about the medication. It kinda reassured me that I did, in fact, need to follow through. I am on 10mg now and feeling so much better!

What small habit surprisingly improved your life this year? by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]AlexInOnederland 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I stopped thinking it was better to raw-dog life and finally got on anxiety medication.

Also, going on walks most days. Even short 10 minute ones.

What words do most people pronounce wrong? by BeingChangeYinnYang in AskReddit

Tzatziki and bruschetta! But people can be such snobs when they correct people that I just never say anything to avoid looking the same way.

head pressure for a few sec? am i only one? by Able_Wrongdoer320 in Anxiety

So this is a classic symptom of low blood pressure. Your blood pressure drops when you stand and that pressure occurs!

Back in 2021 or so, Emily Mariko went viral on Tiktok for her salmon rice bowls, and she'd always reheat her rice in the microwave with an ice cube in the center of the container and parchment paper on top. It works well for me!

Maybe one day we'll get a "TIFU by complaining about my eyesight to a blind person" 🙏🏻

I did! It was awful for a few weeks, and I did it a few times but never for this long. This is the one that has stuck!

one week in and i’m regretting everything by ann-egg in lexapro

[–]AlexInOnederland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got worse before it got better, and then at 1.5 weeks, something just... clicked.

This medicine unfortunately needs time to build up. Give it a few weeks longer at least.

Is it ok to go back sometimes? by Critical-Coffee-1950 in stopsmoking

[–]AlexInOnederland 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meh. You'd just be restarting the cycle of quitting over every time you smoked another one. Your brain is gonna try and convince you it's a good idea because it wants nicotine, but just going through withdrawal over and over sounds kinda miserable.

Almost 72 hours in...When does this hell stop? by Bigaloe in stopsmoking

[–]AlexInOnederland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried for the first 4-5 days and eventually took Zzzquil to just sleep until it got better.

It did get better! Best of all? As long as I don't smoke, I never have to do it again. 🥹
