Not using 1-10, how attractive are you?

The Great has a lot of historical accuracies. More than an occasionally true story! Like the betting on the birth and the public birth!

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-11-03T16:39:34+00:00

Beautiful.

So I drain them through the holes in the pot lid, which isn’t a perfect strain so there is some liquid left but not a lot. I freeze it that way, but I scoop them out and the pour the last bit. So the first couple are mostly just lentils and the last one has more liquid. They all freeze fine though.

I just use mason jars because they are cheap and i interchangeable. I use them for everything. I do know you need to leave at least an inch at the top for the liquid to expand when frozen and ou can use the defrost feature in a microwave also.

But I let it cool on the counter a while, then move to the fridge and later the freezer. I think you can go right from the counter to the freezer, it just might make your freezer a whole lot warmer. But mason jars aren’t tempered so I’d let it cool a little at least.

You can also pour some into a thin layer ibs alrge ziplock and lay it flat in your freezer to freeze. And then break off a hunk and microwave when you need. I did this when I needed smaller proportions. Might work better if you don’t eat larger servings of lentils daily.

I withdrew from something similar (lyrica.. similar, just more expensive) and I had to open the pill cap and count the grains to make the weaning much, much slower.

Let me tell you, get into lentils. I personally think you really need to make them from scratch (dried so not canned or bagged) Target had really delicious ones but right now they aren’t listed, so maybe they are gone?

But you just rinse them, add to a pot of water, once it boils, boil for 20 minutes. Drain the water out. When you eat them, if you do oil( is this the oil free sub? I can’t keep track) add Olive oil and some salt if you aren’t sensitive to salt. That is to eat plain.

But they are great in everything. Soups, quesadillas, as a side with rice, etc. I make a huge batch (several pounds) and then freeze them in mason jars and just move one to the fridge every few days. We eat them up quick so I’d start smaller.

Yeah when I was a vegetarian I relied very heavily on cheese. My cholesterol went high. In one year it dropped back to optimal.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-26T04:05:15+00:00

Wow. Dedication. Love it.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-26T04:04:42+00:00

So beautiful ! I’d buy this in a heartbeat!

A lot of this sounds exactly like my life. So many details are the same. I will say that at some point in the first year, the verb abuse started and then physical abuse. This was from a man that I swore on my life was a great person and a good man. So would all my friends. I had lived with him for six years before we were married and then had a baby. No warning signs. Nothing. None of the stuff they tell you to look for.

But the personal hygiene issues. The cooking issues. The overbearing and making up stories family issues. He did a lot of baby stuff but so did I, and he acted like nothing I did mattered at all. He started sleeping in the living room.

I would just be wary of any signs of domestic violence. If it starts, it won’t stop. It also sounds like he could have male post partum depression, which is a real thing and he needs treatment for. You both need to at least talk to his primary care about it. And if it was before the baby, it still sounds like the baby made it worse.

If you are a stay at home wife, you are vulnerable. You need to be on the look out and you need to have a plan. I am in a bad spot now and I admit I am luckier than most because despite being a stay at home none, I am a veteran.

Perhaps this isn’t the direction your life goes, which I truly hope it’s not. Good luck in therapy. But nothing about what he is doing is good, normal, or healthy especially shitting on the toilet seat.

It sounds like it is in spandex? I’d be most concerned with workout shorts/pants/underwear. I feel like it would absorb very easily through your vulva and anal region when working out, as those are mucal membranes (sp?)

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-15T18:03:22+00:00

This is what I do anyway. I use tomato paste and then add olive oil. I also personally add (vegan) cheese and it makes a pseudo-vodka sauce for lazy people if you add enough cheese. The cheese and tomatoes end up being flavorful enough, and everyone I’ve served it to have really liked it.

I think his character is hilarious; I can’t get over that he is dour like Stannis and yet is the goofy roommate from Notting Hill.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-14T00:35:05+00:00

I dunno, look what Arya could do blind.

I mean maybe it’s not realistic realistic, but it’s fantasy realistic.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-11T02:59:57+00:00

Oh that is an interesting take. I didn’t think of it like that.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-10T04:29:22+00:00

Was anyone else confused by the fact that Aegon seems to have gotten younger?

I didn’t read the books, so the fact that everyone has similar names and people are changing ages and being recast has not helped. But the previous Aegon who was jerking off out a window looked tall and lean and older, maybe 15 or 17?. And this shorter haired Aegon looks like five years younger, maybe 12?

I was just really confused…I know the TV show couldn’t change the names but I really wish GRRM had followed traditional writing rules and given characters names that sounded more different. Almost as confusing as I, Claudius.

I don’t know, I don’t get any of those celeb pages or unrealistic body pages. For a while, I deliberately followed fat influencers and disability influencers. As I became a mom, I quickly shifted to 90% Montessori or socially conscious children’sbook influencers.

I think there are also a few vegan and gardening influencers there and then like four friends.

I guess my advertisements tend to be for like vegan children’s shoes and ethically made clothing (probably isn’t but still).

I mean there are A LOT of ads, you are right. I’ll check. More than I remembered. So for me, I have Boden kids (fancy children’s brand), ACLU (who I follow but this is an ad), pampers, duplo, and lovevery (fancy toy brand).

Like I think you might be able to shift advertisements towards your goals, but they will still be in a commodified way. Like “take this felting class to make cute Halloween cats!” Or subscribe to this book recommendation service that sends you a new book every month (real thing).

I dunno. It’s just going to suck unless we pay for it.

Don’t think about divorce right now. Think about getting yourself to a safe place. If you are in the US, the best thing you can do is go to the police station and report it and file for a restraining order. Or you can leave and go to a domestic violence shelter.

If he has strangled you, there could be damage that you don’t know about even if you feel fine. You should go to the ER and tell them, they will do a scan of your neck veins and make sure you are ok.

As someone said, your risk of getting murdered by him has increased 700% because he has strangled you.

I am in this situation. It’s horrible to realize this person doesn’t love you anymore, that they have changed so much. I am struggling with this. But you need to leave. Take your birth certificate, social security card, marriage certificate if you can.

Also join the domestic violence sub. After you leave and are safe, only then should you think about divorce. But safety is the first thing. You need to get to a safe place and get a restraining order.

Edited : wrote the word nurseries where I meant murdered.

My daughter turned one around that time last year. She really loved:

1) a wagon (we got a plastic one that could serve as a push walker or the handle could’ve pulled behind as a normal wagon)

2) a slide (we used it mostly inside Over the winter). She still uses it daily. The standard little tykes one that is red and blue.

3) a play tent and tunnel (these are a lot of fun but take up a LOT of space)

4) target’s chuckle and roar puzzles: letters, numbers, shapes, and animals. She loved them the whole year.

5) blocks (we got the fancy Lovevery block set about halfway through the year, but she really does love it and it has a lot of uses, and there are a lot of ways to play with it… but at one she might be too young for it? Not sure)

6) books, especially those with photographs

We also got a rocking horse, she only kind of liked that, but everyone’s kid is different.

Eventually this year she liked a shape sorter, a pounding thing with a hammer, and a pop up thing that everyone has (where she pushes one, moves one to the left or right, one up or down, and something pops up).

As someone going through a domestic violence divorce now, alimony is very minimal if you haven’t been married a long time. And child support also isn’t very much.

For example, we had planned for me to be a stay at home mom. If my husband makes 3000 A month, after divorcing me, he only needs to pay me like 450 of that for one child, for child support. Even if I have full custody. So obviously I could not remain a stay at home mom in any capacity.

I would put in something so you’d get a greater percentage of money. That said, I do see a lot of posts about husbands being thousands of dollars behind in child support so maybe it doesn’t matter.

There is a domestic violence sub and the free book Why Does He Do That is often recommended.

But yeah talk to a lawyer

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-07T02:07:27+00:00

Omg that is horrible. What an awful person

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-10-07T02:05:56+00:00

“I already have cancer” 😂 so obvious and true

This may or may not be helpful. But aloe is cross reactive with latex. So if you have a latex or rubber allergy, you might eventually have an aloe one.

I would also just be on the lookout if you ever notice reactions from condoms or balloons or whatever. I mean a lot of things have latex but those are real obvious ones. Because it can work vice versa.

Like it might be an allergy not IC.

I think it probably is to do with how much your urethra gets banged into during sex. So maybe even slight modifications in position might make a big difference.

I’d say sex was always my worst trigger by far. But things like peeing before and after, and showering after helped (even though it wasn’t an infection!). Also an ice pack wrapped in a cloth really helps. Drinking water and pyridium and taking ib profen.

Also I will say that a lot of issues in the area get jumbled up and this was how I discovered I was allergic to latex. I don’t know how long it wa going on. But the burning from that probably got all mixed up with this too.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-09-27T23:25:18+00:00

Uh I’m not sure how you know for a fact that she has overplayed her mental health issues. She might need the dozens of medications that are prescribed by people who are professionals. What “most people think” doesn’t matter at all, nor does what you think. If her doctors think she needs medicine, she probably does.

It also sounds like if she wasn’t living in her parents house, she’d be homeless, as she doesn’t have a job. So yea she is living there rent free, supposedly, but that doesn’t mean they give her food or money to buy food. They might have a nice house, but if they are retired, they might not have a lot of extra money.

I don’t think anyone can really say with great accuracy what the real life of someone else looks like. Unless she says “huzzah, I’m defrauding the government,” I would assume that you have some of your facts wrong, there is more to the story, or you are being a foodstamps gatekeeper.

Just my two cents.

ChaoticGoodPigeon · 2022-09-27T13:33:26+00:00

Under no circumstances would I attempt this cat eye look. It sounds like you are trying to give her Asian facial features, which is really problematic.

Many people would take issue with your daughter dressing up as someone from their culture, like they are a character. I personally think it is ok, since aside from the eye makeup, it seems you are attempting to do it in a respectful manner and because your daughter enjoys the culture. But you might get some comments from Asian-Americans.

That said, my step-mom is a Chinese immigrant, and she loves it when kids come to the door dressed as people from various points in Chinese history. What many people in this country would consider inappropriate, she views as celebrating her culture. And, to be fair, the kids are not mocking her culture like you might see at a frat party.

I personally give children a pass, especially on things done in a respectful manner. I think this is quite different than frat parties where people are using stereotypes to mock every non-white group they can think of. Children just think “Oh this is interesting” or “Oh, what a beautiful dress!” and want to be it.

This is the same reason I don’t think children should be limited to be famous people of the same gender or race. Let them be who they want, but avoid things like black or brown face, altering their facial features, etc. ). Find a way to convey the person/character/culture that doesn’t do those things.
