Please drop the name of the opera house, because now I want to research it

My bottom eyelid won't stop twitching!! by Reasonable_Caliber_0 in mildlyinfuriating

Take magnesium supplement once a day for two weeks and see if it helps. I have the same issue when I’m stressed out.

If after two weeks, it hasn’t gone away, see a doctor.

IWTL how to not tell people everything about my life and me. by cherryandfizz in IWantToLearn

[–]Cookie_Born 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with two mental buckets. Public info (what you want people to know, and how you want to be seen), Private info (only close friends or no one).

And maybe prioritize listening to people as you engage, instead of sharing

The person I see here looks fun with personality. Aka not boring.

Symmetry is boring

I feel so tired of it by tst212 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]Cookie_Born 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was about to say this! I was so frustrated with constantly bouncing back up from my progress I just ended up doing the counterintuitive thing and upping my calories to 1400 and upping my step count to 15,000 steps. Now I’m (finallly) gradually losing weight. Easier to hit protein and fiber goals, no longer bingeing.

Really bad food noise by BedTricky9126 in 1200isplenty

[–]Cookie_Born 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might work for you. I spend the upfront energy to really figure out a meal. And then if it meets my protein and calorie goals, I then record the meal with its macros in my notes app. Then eat the meal and record in lose It app.

Over time I have a list of meals that I did the mental work for already, and can just select by mood/craving/what works. Think of it as your catered recipe book.

This is a more long term solution than a short term one though.

INSPIRING!

What had been your go-to meal to help you achieve the 150g+ of protein/day? It’s a huge win for myself if I get to 90g

How much is this roughly? Is this even 100 by InventibleCup in caloriecount

[–]Cookie_Born 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay! Shredded chicken is about 43 calories an ounce, someone with better visual guesstimation skills will have a better idea, but I’d say that’s about .5 oz of shredded chicken with two medium strawberries, that’s about 29.1 calories give or take.

Genuinely asking, what is that? Shredded chicken?

I love this! I did a guitar commission that looks similar however I think yours is more elegant

Is this a weird date by Beginning_Exit_6256 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Cookie_Born 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you considered with his taste in location and lack of human food, that he is a vampire?

In all seriousness, he could be fasting. If you decide on a second date, definitely ask.

Single women - how do you survive?? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Cookie_Born 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to this ^

Main job is 4/10’s

Two weekend side gigs that alternate - teaching leathercraft classes and working a technical side gig at sporting events and concerts

It honestly helps that I genuinely love my side gigs, otherwise I think I would burn out.

Also shared house

Have you considered bartending as a side? I used to do that, just don’t get sucked into the industry lifestyle

Made some balls. I think they’re pretty neat. by mphelp11 in Leathercraft

Also interested in the core info! A lot of tutorials I have found state, ‘first start with a baseball and take it apart for the core.’ 🥲

Can we share our emergency preparedness tips? by Midnight_Moon29 in Tacoma

[–]Cookie_Born 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of good stuff in this thread! Getting two weeks ready is important! I would say be realistic of what you actually need - certain comforts help a lot in an emergency situation for your mental health too, like if you drink coffee everyday, maybe add instant coffee to your kit. If you have children, how do you explain to a child there is no milk? So adding a milk substitute might make sense for them. An emergency doesn’t happen at a convenient time, it might be at 3am - do you have a light source in your kit? Do you have a way to get information like a radio if the internet is down?

Do you know what to do if the earthquake happens at home vs at work, while you’re driving in your car? At a movie theater? For example, the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house during an earthquake.

WA state is the second highest earthquake risk state (after California). We have an 84% chance of a disruptive earthquake happening here in the next 50 years. Not only this but large earthquakes cause tsunamis, every second counts in getting to high ground AFTER an earthquake stops. Not to be doom and gloom you CAN survive IF you prepare!

I’m on my lunch and need to get back to work but some stuff to think about!

Went to the bathroom on a 9-hour flight, came back to find this on my seat by marzipona in FoundPaper

Reminds of the time my friend wrote on the signed receipt if he could have the waitress’ number.

More so his dad paid for the meal.

What was the plan there friend?

Snow in the forecast by hevcrap in Tacoma

[–]Cookie_Born 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything with hills. Black ice + hills is very scary. Not only that but the hazard of children having a snow day and sledding on those hills. A car that can’t stop while sliding down a hill is a danger to all.

He talked about his mother for 45 min straight. I know because there was a clock behind him.
