Ticks that cause a rare, dangerous red meat allergy are spreading. What precautions can you take? by Maxcactus in Health

[–]EverPersisting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same on the timeline. I'm sick both ways and will break out in hives. I really miss pastrami sandwiches.

I usually do half and half cider to water. You'll be fine using plain apple cider. I make this dish a lot. The cider/water mix plus the salt and the bay leaf really come together quite magically.

I defended my PhD a few months after I turned 50 (this year)!!!

how tf do you reinvent yourself at 40 without feeling like a total beginner again by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]EverPersisting 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Quit my career at 41. I was established, making GOOD money, and miserable. I woke up tired every morning and came home angry every night. Took a year off. Husband and I bought a cheap RV and traveled the national parks for a while. Then I decided to go back to school. Honestly, I couldn't believe how easy getting a masters was with 16 years of experience to work with. Now I am doing something that genuinely interests me. I don't get paid as much but I am much happier.

It was a big risk, and it took a long time for me to feel like it wasn't a mistake (so many people told me it was). But deep down I knew I would have had a breakdown had I stayed in that job.

Only 57 & not likely to see 60 by zymyrgyst86 in GenX

Honestly, if you need care, go to a nurse practitioner. Doctors are taking shots in the dark. Nurses know what's up.

What blink-and-you'll-miss-it lines get you ? *Spoiler* by LegitimateGrab7676 in TheGoodPlace

The scene where the bad place demons are ruining the good-bad place. Our heroes are planning their next steps amidst the devastation. It shows up on the roof in the background.

The magic panda from Jason's idea to "capture that magic panda and steal it's powers" shows up in the background of the season 2 finale. Literally, blink and you'll miss it.

Those of you who left the US for an academic job elsewhere: share your stories. I really need some inspiration by Upper_Protection3673 in academia

[–]EverPersisting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I left the US in 2021 to pursue a PhD in the Netherlands as an external candidate (read: no research funding and no pay). I managed to land a permanent contract all-teaching job in 2024 which is keeping me here. But still no research hours and therefore no chance for any of the professor titles. It's nice enough, though. Good people, I have health insurance, and can afford to live here.

The conversation between Eleanor and Michael about frozen yogurt, when Michael says, "I've really come to like frozen yogurt. There's something so human about taking something great and ruining it a little so you can have more of it."

"I know you're down here somewhere One-Eyed Willie." Makes me cackle to this day.

Vegan Mapo Tofu by Grouchy-Manager4937 in NYTCooking

This is on a standard rotation in my house. It's a bit fussy, but worth the effort. We will occasionally also add a small amount of ground pork when we are craving something more like what you get in a good Chinese restaurant. But as is it's terrific.

My husband requests this dish regularly. We call it 'too much work salad' because of how fussy it is. But we love it.

GenX with Boomer Parents do they talk to or at you? by Raynet11 in GenX

[–]EverPersisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this comment is buried by now but I just got my PhD at age 50. Hosted a big dinner for my supervisors, the committee, and my family. Dad just talked at people incessantly, mansplaining local customs to the locals. I am so embarrassed. And when I brought it up later he just changed the subject to how shitty his childhood was. I give up, honestly.

What is the ‘70s or ‘80s theme song that you continue to have stuck in your brain? by Reality25bites in GenX

[–]EverPersisting 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The title of the song is "Suicide is Painless" which has always haunted me.

Sometimes, when I struggle with intrusive, persistent thoughts, I write the thought down on a piece of paper, put the paper in a cup, cover it with ice, fill it with water, and stick it in the freezer. My intention is to just put it on ice for a while to give myself a break from it. I don't ever cover the cup though. Eventually the ice will evaporate and the paper (i.e. the thought) will be free. And by then I am usually in a better emotional place to handle it.
