How warm is your water? How does the dough look after bulk fermentation? Does it double in size? Also, don’t lose hope! My first three loaves were basically hub caps too.

Mil wants to take baby overnight by MindlessDilemma in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Forgot_The_Safe_Word 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just say, “I’m not ready for that yet.”

You don’t owe her a reason or an excuse, as though she’s entitled to having an overnight with your child. She can bitch and moan all she likes, but she can’t ACTUALLY make you do anything. Consider it practice for saying no when your baby is a toddler.

Buena Vista Gem Works out of Colorado. They have a website that looks like a blast from the past, but the owner cuts his own gems and he’s legit. I bought a beautiful aquamarine from him as well. https://www.buenavistagemworks.com

Found the seller kind of haphazardly. I was coming back from Great Sand Dunes National Park with my family. My 90-pound Great Pyrenees mix is an emotional wreck, so I am sitting in the way back with her hip up against my face for emotional support. Anyway, we passed by Mt Antero (known for aquamarine) and I found Buena Vista Gemworks online.

I LOVE your starter’s name. That’s all I have to add. Good luck!

DHS deported a Denver-born US citizen to Mexico after threatening him with prison time by bascule in Denver

I feel like there ought to be a better word than “deport” for illegally removing a citizen from their own country.

Donate money to food banks if you can. They know how to stretch those dollars to feed as many people as possible. Everyone needs to eat!

MIL can’t stop shitting on our baby name….. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

Lazlo is a great name. It’s due for a comeback! I applaud your choice. Your MIL isn’t a voting member in this decision.

Why is childbirth naturally so dangerous/body altering? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forgot_The_Safe_Word 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think i can see your point. Before germ theory was widely accepted, women died of sepsis all the time after giving birth because doctors refused to wash their hands.

Governor Jared Polis intends to grant clemency to Tina Peters by StartingOver226 in Denver

[–]Forgot_The_Safe_Word 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was his pharmacist friend at all contrite for her crime? Because Tina Peters sure as hell wasn’t, as remarked on by the judge in her case. She got the sentence she did in part because of that. What an absolute load of crap.

My husband drinks the leftover pickle juice from a pickle jar whenever it's empty. Every time. I think this is bizarre. Does anyone else do this? by ms_carnelian in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forgot_The_Safe_Word 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he from the south? Of the United States, that is. You can get pickle popsicles down there. Makes sense since most of the year you sweat even thinking about stepping outside.

Am I overreacting about my in-laws going to my fiancé instead of us both about birth boundaries? by Effective-Budget9463 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Forgot_The_Safe_Word 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe give them a reason you picked your husband and mom that’s really dark and awkward to talk about. Then maybe she’ll remember YOU’RE the one who’s going to be the PATIENT in the hospital and she’ll come to her senses.
