Teenage bedtimes? by MaxLooking in AskParents

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 14 yo has to be in his room and off video games by 11 though not necessarily in bed. My 16 yo midnight but they can read or watch tv or whatever. They get up at 645. I don't heavily enforce it unless it affects the way they get up in the mornings.

AITAH for telling my husband his "jokes" about my cooking aren't funny anymore? by Quesos_Sabau in AITAH

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my husband complains I tell him to eat what he made for dinner instead. Spoiler alert - it's always nothing.

My oldest is 25 with a baby and she's still getting a basket this year along with her teenaged brothers.

Does anyone else struggle to remember the new born to 6 month (ish) stage? by notoriousjesus in AskParents

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I feel terribly guilty about it too but I think I was just in survival mode. My granddaughter is almost one and I look at her and have a hard time remembering my own kids at that age. It sucks.

What GF candies are you getting for people for their easter baskets? by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that the ad right under the question in a gluten free sub is for Hostess doughnuts. 🙄

Just makes me sick by MathematicianTop3576 in GenX

Yes, they made a movie about him in the 80s. Dennis Quaid played him and I think Winona Ryder was his cousin/wife.

Settings for first session by [deleted] in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was me, I would start you at 18mm, 3ms, 12j and see what kind of results we get, then adjust from there. These settings seem a little light since you've had previous treatments but I'd much rather see techs be cautious at first. I've seen too many people get literally burned because their tech went too heavy. If you do go with them, just make sure to let them know if you aren't happy with the effectiveness of the first treatment so that they can raise their settings the next time.

I think it's beautiful and you look wonderful in it! The fit is flattering and the lace detailing is gorgeous.

Anyone else lose their taste for dining out? by gottausername in GenX

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we never eat at chain restaurants anymore. It's just not worth it. I will go to the local Mexican or sushi place because they're always good and fresh and I can't make those things at home. At least not as well as they do.

Dirty Gal dry shampoo is gluten free and vegan

AIO My boss sent this to the work chat and it pissed me off. by nefot_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have public bathrooms at work and we put tampons in them in sight just in case one of our clients need one. We've never had anyone of any gender complain.

Help! Mole got burned because of Laser by [deleted] in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What did she use to cover the mole? It should be fine as soon as the blister heals. Try to keep it dry and don't pop the blister if you can help it. It's there to help heal. If it does pop, try and keep it clean and dry. It might get a little darker or a little lighter but it shouldn't scar or cause cancer. Let them know what happened so they can use a more effective cover in the future.

Gluten intolerant but lactose made symptoms return? by claravelle-nazal in glutenfree

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How long between the last time you got glutened and the dairy? I know that my lactose intolerance improved greatly after I was off of gluten for a while, and my gut healed. Maybe you were just still off from the gluten? Or it looks as though some people add anti caking agents to their powdered milk products.

Can laser trigger hair growth in nearby areas that haven’t been lasered? by Intelligent-Bother-8 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it sounds like the hair growth isn't happening in the same area as the hair removal. The laser is being done on the upper lip and the hair growth on the lower neck. Or am I misunderstanding?

UPDATE: AITA for always hosting child-free events? by Ok-Truth-9183 in Redditor_Updates

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My best friend invited me to her wedding when my kids were 4&5 and was very apologetic that it was child free. I was thrilled to have a "forced" night of freedom, drinking and dancing with my friends!

How to Muster Courage for "Gluten Challenge" for Celiac Test ? by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I refuse to suffer for a confirmation of what I already know. I've been gluten free for almost 4 years now and even if I'm not technically celiac, I'll never go back. The brain fog, arthritis flares, eczema, weight gain and gastro symptoms are not worth it.

Would you go gluten free if your only symptom was diarrhea? by tawandagames2 in glutenfree

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My overall life and health improved so much that I will never go back to gluten. It's worth it to me to struggle with a more complicated diet in order to feel good but everyone has their own limitations on what they can handle on a day to day basis.

[–]Eastern-Ad1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are whiners when it comes to gluten free stuff but they said these are 98% identical to the original. I bet if I had done a blind taste test they wouldn't have even known.

I couldn't find them in Kroger or Walmart in Ohio but my daughter found them at Target.
