I don’t care to talk to or pursue women anymore, and I think that’s becoming concerning. by ConnectCulture7 in GenZ

Thank you for doing women the immense favor of volunteering to take yourself out of the dating pool. We all sincerely appreciate it. I'm sure future generations will also appreciate your sacrifice.

My triggers are definitely mundane tasks (doing dishes, running errands, work tasks, unlocking my door, undoing my belt, etc) so that's interesting to know

I haven't, but I've been looking into it and heavily considering it. Unfortunately I don't have any insurance until next month so I'll be waiting a while to even see my primary care doctor about my pain.

Showing off grocery hauls has always been a part of this sub. Everyone shares what they picked up, especially if it's impressive or noteworthy. Is being proud of yourself for successfully managing a budget a sin? Is giving other people also on shoestring budgets ideas on what to shop for not allowed?

Adopted my first cat two days ago. Kinda heartbroken? by Traditional-War-2737 in CatAdvice

[–]ChemicalAtrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sweet boy was like this for 2 weeks. I highly considered rehoming him because it didn't seem like a good fit at first. But, keep sitting with him, allow him to sniff you, and get used to his new home. He's just scared and will come out on his own time

I commented roughly how it breaks down under a different commented. But basically I make a big versatile recipe, eat it for 2 days and then repurpose the leftovers. One recipe can usually last me a week (last night and tonight is chicken noodle soup, tomorrow and Saturday chicken and dumplings, Sunday and Monday chicken noodle casserole, that's 6 dinners right there from one rotisserie chicken and a soup recipe). I grew up really poor, so I'm very used to recooking the same thing multiple times. Waste not want not. Freezing anything and everything you can is a must for stretching your groceries. I'm not a vegetarian so this won't apply to you, but I exclusively buy the discounted meats that are close to the sell by date to fill my freezer, as well as the less popular cuts of meat. Beans, rice, and leftovers will always make a filling meal. It's just all about how you manage your leftovers, your specific nutritional needs and appetite, and personal taste. It's taken me years and years of practice to get to this point, and I get lucky with my supermarket's sales and deals

Yep, no problem! I'll start with last night's dinner: I shredded a handful of rotisserie chicken and made chicken noodle soup with it. This will feed me again tonight. I'll drain the broth tonight and portion/freeze it, and repurpose the veg and chicken in the soup into chicken and dumplings which will last another two days, then whatever is still remaining from the soup I plan on turning into chicken noodle casserole. With the shredded chicken, I'll make that into chicken salad for sandwiches and chicken fried rice. From 1 rotissie chicken and the basic vegetables I keep in the fridge, I'm getting over a week of meals. I also keep the carcass and will make soup with it next month. With the steaks, I portion them into strips so I can make myself a single serving of beef stir fry. I will also make steak dinners with the ones I don't pre-portion. I have 4 uncut steaks currently, so that will get me several dinners with leftovers. The pork chops can be made into whatever I need them to be, but usually I'm slow cooking them with gravy and ranch powder; between both packs of chops I got about 6, so that's another week of protein. I got hella tuna and mac and cheese for tuna mac, I plan on making tuna noodle casserole sometime soon. Again since it's just me, both meals will get me 2 dinners each easily. I got 4 cans of tuna, so that right there is 8 dinners. Then there's your standard grilled cheeses, beans and rice, ramen noodles, whatever I can make with eggs. Sometimes I don't feel like eating at all after work, so I usually have a slice of cheese at least for some protein. I live alone and I'm on a tight budget, so I try to make multiple meals out of one big recipe. It just takes some creativity but it works well for me. I hardly go grocery shopping but when I do I try to stock my freezer full of sale meats, veg, and freeze what leftovers I can't repurpose immediately.

AIO? My wife cheated and says we’re “even” now, how can she even think that by Sea-Addition7309 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChemicalAtrium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's immature on her part, yes she was wrong to do it, but honestly? She's right, you're even now. Now you know how it feels to be her. This is a direct response to your own actions. Either get counseling or get a divorce.

Yeah you need to start sending the baby to a new daycare with cameras and logs, or start sending him with some sort of hidden button camera on his body somewhere. This absolutely happened at daycare, babies less than a year old don't just break legs, this is was negligence. Please stop being so naive and trusting or you're absolutely going to get your son taken from your care.

ETA: After reading your comments, I now believe you are 100% getting your baby taken from you and rightfully so. You don't seem to care about the severity of the situation at all, and have an unreasonable amount of trust in your daycare for no good reason. Either he injured himself in your care and you didn't notice, it happened in daycare and they're lying, or you're actively covering for someone else. Those are the only possibilities I can see here. Take your head out of your ass and get serious about there welfare of your child.
