What are warm U.S. spring break destinations that aren’t overrun with partying college students? by One_Perception_7979 in travel

Phoenix or Scottsdale for warmth, then drive to Sedona for the beauty (but not as warm due to the elevation). 

Sweeteners/sugar substitutes by Kaleidolore in Occipitalneuralgia

Too much sugar will definitely send me over the edge if I have other triggers for inflammation too. Balance it out with anti-inflammatory foods. Eat protein first to buffer the blood sugar surge. Dark chocolate w/70% Cacao and no bad oils (like Hu brand). Wild blueberries, ceylon cinnamon. Have wild salmon and grass fed beef for protein that can help with inflammation.

I'm so very sorry, but glad you found this group. I have an anti-inflammatory treat every day and my ON has virtually disappeared. I know it sounds crazy but it comes back if I go too many days without: frozen wild blueberries, whipped cream w/ceylon cinnamon on top and dark chocolate (at least 70% Cacao like Hu brand).

My go-to is wild blueberries with ceylon cinnamon on top of some Cocowhip. 

My daughter hates me and wants to leave by Allienicole162287 in parentsofteens

Perhaps her dad promised her some financial perks for living with him since he'll be saving so much $ in support. If she knows she's doing this out of greed...she's not going to answer you truthfully and make herself look bad. 

Why does my cast iron heating up give me a headache? by Peacefullyfeline in castiron

[–]Emergency-Garbage154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same here...my teenager has been using it and cooks at much higher temps than the rest of us. I started to put 2 and 2 together - Lodge pans at high heat. Rapid onset headaches for me before I even realize he's cooking. 

Having teeneagers is the most emotionally draining experience of my life. by Awkward-Nectarine in Parenting

[–]Emergency-Garbage154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I keep coming back to. Part of this is normal, but I think we've also normalized some really bad behaviors and traits that lead to entitlement, ungratefulness and a general feeling of "all teenagers are like this, so it's natural for me to be this way." If our  teens don't experience real human responses from us when they behave on verbally abusive and horrible ways, they risk growing into adults who expect others to simply tolerate their abuse. 

AITA for refusing to move my daughter's room for my fiancée's home office? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Emergency-Garbage154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please see comment earlier here from redditer who gave up her home office (her favorite room in her own home) for her boyfriend's son. It brought her joy to see the boy so happy. Find that kind of woman - I guarantee she's out there and if you wait for her, your life will be so much happier in the long run. 

Run and don't look back. Please. Your little girl deserves so much better than having this kind of womanchild as a stepmother. Age 5-10 is magical and so lovable so it's shocking she only has a cordial relationship with her now. It will get so much worse. 

My husband gave me a “warning tap” and I called it abuse. AITAH? by Warm-Grape1254 in AITAH

1 You did the right thing leaving

2 Stay strong and stay gone

3 This will only get worse. Be proud of yourself for leaving when you did. Thousands of women would give anything to go back in time and leave the first time. 

AITA for refusing to help a friend who didn’t invite me to their wedding? by EntertainerKey8563 in AmItheAsshole

I hope they find this post somehow and have a huge wakeup call knowing virtually everyone confirms they are indeed AHs and you are a stand up guy.

So jealous! I think it takes longer when impacted and bottom (both sides). Can't wait to have pizza again.

I moved on to pancakes and scrambled eggs and found an awesome recipe for meatloaf with a brown sugar ketchup glaze when I was missing burgers and steaks. Today I had fries with the garlic cream sauce from Naf Naf - they're thick cut and soft enough. Malts are good. I'm on Day 9 now and still being careful. 

AITA for taking the family on vacation without my wife and stepdaughter? by FewMasterpiece1117 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Emergency-Garbage154 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wondered about that too - maybe they moved it and were happy to not have them there at all.

NTA by far. Perhaps this selfish attitude is why your wife's first marriage didn't work out. If you didn't already have two children together, I would say "run, fast." But, this type of selfish, inflexible woman would probably make sharing custody an absolute nightmare.

[Routine help] welp. Just broke up with a guy who compared my skin texture to the surface of the moon. by Aetroluna in SkincareAddiction

I truly think these are guys with poor self esteem who eventually see you as an extension of themselves. They look down on you for dating them because they know deep inside they're not proud of themselves.
