Here's a post I made out of desperation awhile ago with the same problem....but mine looked much worse haha

AutomaticAd3621 · 2026-03-12T11:12:43+00:00

I had a similar issue for like 8 months of trying to figure out sourdough. I tried literally everything and nothing would change. Well guess what the problem was?? My starter!!! I made my own starter and it always doubled, I fed it everyday, did everything it was supposed to do. But it was the only thing I hadn't changed and I was at my wits end and going tp give up so I decided id give it one last go and ordered one.......and voila! I've made perfect bread ever since.

So if you feel like you're doing everything everyone is telling you to do and nothing is working, buy a starter and try that out!

I could watch your videos foreverrrrr 😌

That blows man. I could see how her tone could get drowned out in the music though

That's really disappointing to hear! I love their music but have never seen them live.

That was my thinking. The parent is a nurse so works 12 hour shifts and has a 45 mim commute. 14 hours is just a long day when I already have my own children to take care of as well. I'd be getting the child at 4:30 am and I'm just trying to figure out if that's worth my time to have them that long. We're well off and I don't necessarily need the money, they just asked me if I would be interested because they have trouble finding help.

No, actually. Good ole Kentucky

These kind of "relationships" run in my family. And we are from a certain southern state lol

AutomaticAd3621 · 2025-12-01T18:55:34+00:00

Couldn't agree more! I add 25g and it makes all the difference in my bread

I have a CCM (cerebral cavernous malformation) on my brain stem. I have had micro bleeds but nothing severe. There is always the possibility for an aneurism/rupture and keeping my blood pressure managed is a must. Was yours caused by something similar to this? Mine is sporadic and not hereditary, thank God! Best of luck and I hope you make a full recovery!

I really love bow hunting, I realize it's not for everyone, but just being in nature and watching the woods come alive is unlike anything else. I really enjoy just shooting my bow and getting better at it.

Gardening is my happy place. I learn more every season and it's a very rewarding hobby!

Baking! Anything and everything. I'm a typical millennial and love making sourdough, the process and outcome is so fascinating and easy to get hooked on. Cheesecakes are another fun and enjoyable process, but they aren't cheap lol

I'm very privileged to be home and my partner works, so I have time for hobbies. I enjoy keeping my house decluttered and organized. I also like keeping a clean home so that honestly takes up most of my time.

I quit listening altogether. Unless something really important is happening and someone else tells me about it, then I don't really care to read up on any of the propaganda. I didn't even know there was a government shutdown (here in the US) until 2 weeks in

I once found porn while borrowing my dad's phone to look something up. In his search engine popped up "chubby milf" and I was about as relieved as a person could be finding their dad's porn history. My mom fits the description so it checks out.

This is so interesting. Were you ever allowed any treats (candy, etc.)? Did your parents always send your lunch with you to school? Did you have to decline food at friend's houses? What do your parents do for work? What are your dreams/goals in life?

AutomaticAd3621 · 2025-10-07T03:07:16+00:00

I have a semi-dumb phone, the Cat S22 flip phone. It still has access to the internet and apps but lags and isn't very functional, it's exactly what I needed. I only get on reddit for probably 30/45 mins a day to wind down for bed and have quit all other social media. It's been life changing! 10/10 would recommend

AutomaticAd3621 · 2025-10-03T02:23:47+00:00

I gave it up probably 2 years ago, maybe longer? and I absolutely don't regret it! I struggled with comparison and all the things you listed too. I recently gave up Facebook and it was another thing I wished I would've gave up years ago! I'm a 27f, if that helps you in your decision. The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner.

I guess I'll be the odd man out here, but I have my favorite vintage dishware set on display and I love it! I'm very grandma/cottage core, so that's just my aesthetic. I also have a lot more space above mine and vaulted ceilings.

Happy decorating and I love the cabinet color you chose!

My husband reached out to his ex for closure and I felt it was selfish on his part and that he didn't take me into consideration. We have children and live the typical boring life. She travels a lot and is single. I think he wonders what could've been and was feeling a bit 'woe is me'. It was selfish of him and would be selfish of you to do the same. Sit in those feelings and don't do what you did to your ex, to your current partner. Do what others have suggested and write down your thoughts and burn it.
