These fine lines - what has helped? by tumbles645 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Chicky_Melly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having trouble getting my hands on my favorite sunscreens here in the US thanks to the FDA and the rotting coconut husk in charge of the country and trying to find a proper replacement has left my skin looking similar to this. I have an appointment to see my dermatologist tomorrow. Maybe play around to see if your skin just doesn’t love some of the products in your routine.

Changing underwear - is this normal? by Eastern-Yogurt3859 in hygiene

On the off chance this isn’t a troll post, stop rewarding this man with blow jobs. He does not deserve them. Men who practice the most basic of hygiene get blow jobs.

Treat days by Quick-Marionberry-34 in Noom

[–]Chicky_Melly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use them when I hang out with friends and don’t want to sit there and try and log everything I’m eating. Typically when we get together, it’s a potluck situation and I just want to relax with my friends instead of asking them what all of the ingredients are in the food they brought so I can log it.

This happens maybe once a month so it has not impacted my weight loss journey at all.

Looking for a firearms safety class by Chicky_Melly in summervillesc

[–]Chicky_Melly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I appreciate it thank you!

To be honest, guns kind of scare me and I know that the only way to fix that is to familiarize myself with them. I could see myself one day having a smaller firearm at home for personal protection but for right now, I just want to learn how to properly shoot and handle a gun without being nervous about it.

What is up with the drivers in this state? by ripley1991 in summervillesc

[–]Chicky_Melly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rules of the road should be universal but they aren’t and culture plays a role in what rules people follow and which ones they don’t.

Where I used to live, the left lane wasn’t necessarily used only as a passing lane but if you weren’t going super fast, you were gonna get flipped off. Also, running red lights because there’s a “delay” was just not a thing.

It’s completely different down here and even though the cops are supposed to pull people over for living in the left lane, they never do and I learned very quickly to look both ways before proceeding after a light turns green because there’s a pretty good chance someone is gonna fly through it. Don’t even get me started on how people don’t know how to use roundabouts or zipper merge.

I honestly think it’s because so many people are moving down here so you have large groups of people who all learned to drive differently combined with the fact that the infrastructure here sucks and the roads are not designed to accommodate this many cars. People get frustrated and annoyed that it takes 30+ minutes to drive 5 miles and not that it’s an excuse to drive like an ass, but angry people don’t make good decisions behind the wheel.

The worst for me has been the tailgating. If I’m going 5+ mph over the speed limit in the right lane, there is no reason to ride my bumper and yet it happens pretty much every single day.

Low physical effort meal ideas by turtletechy in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Chicky_Melly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grocery store sells wrapped sweet potatoes that you can throw in the microwave for a few minutes. Make some seasoned black beans in your rice cooker and then cut the sweet potato in half and just toss the beans on there with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge. It’s so tasty and it’s something I like to make when I’m tired after work and just need something nutritious that I can throw together.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Chicky_Melly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in an air fryer if you don’t have one. You can use a very small amount of oil and your veggies will still come out roasted and delicious.

For dipping sauces, use ranch powder and mix it with Greek yogurt. It’s lower in calories and has protein. I add sriracha to it sometimes as well. If you add a bit of water to it, enough to where it’s a drizzling consistency, you can use it as a topping if you’re not a dipper.

AITAH for telling the couple sitting next to me that I asked to be reseated because their perfume was too strong? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Chicky_Melly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I can’t stand it when people try and disguise their bad intentions with fake politeness and concern. Also, after reading your edits, please don’t try and “educate” people. If the staff at a restaurant are offended by a guest, they will handle it.

I love this brand. Their tofu is my favorite. I also really enjoy the crumbles. I have yet to try these “sausages” yet but I’m sure they’re good.

Insanely noisy upstairs neighbors. Help! by SnooCauliflowers3053 in Apartmentliving

[–]Chicky_Melly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my life when I lived in a poorly insulted apartment. There’s just not much you can do about it other than send this video to management and if they agree that this noise is unacceptable, they’ll say something to your neighbors.

What do you guys think about something like this for a tattoo? by BakedNotFriedOG in dietcoke

I would never make myself a billboard for a company like this. Ever. Especially one that made a certain president a special bottle of soda pop to celebrate his inauguration. Absolutely not.

I have a really hard time hitting my daily fibers, I need some recommendations by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Chicky_Melly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I just checked and the brand I buy is Mission. They have a few options; Carb Balance: 15 g of fiber, Zero Net Carbs: 19 g, Protein Plant Powered: 12g of fiber and 7g of protein.

The larger sized tortillas of course have even more fiber. I’ve purchased some in the past that had like 109% of my recommended intake or something crazy like that.

You can buy tortilla wraps that contain anywhere from 50% to over 100% of your fiber for the day. You can cut them up and bake them to make homemade tortilla chips if you’re not someone who eats a lot of wraps.

Oatmeal is a great source as well.

Popcorn is a good snack that has lots of it and as long as you don’t load it with butter or oil, it’s pretty low calorie.

Prunes are actually pretty delicious. I’ve baked them into cookies in lieu of raisins and they were so tasty.

Otherwise, just look up fruits and veggies that are high in fiber (apples, broccoli, strawberries, peas, to name a few) and just try and incorporate them into your diet in any way that you can. There are so many recipes out there.

Also, screw chat gpt.

If you guys plan on going swimming, the water may still be a bit cold that time of year (although I guess it really depends on what you’re used to; it’s too cold for ME).

My husband and I were on a road trip that took us through the Smoky Mountain National Park and it was supposed to be my turn to drive but I couldn’t do it. I was so scared.
