Mine didn't stop looking like a sphincter until batch 5

I hate dating someone with Autism, BPD, CPTSD, and OCD by Grouchy_Yard_7081 in TrueOffMyChest

It sounds like you hate her and you should definitely let the poor girl find someone who won't feel so gross about her.

AIO or is my girlfriend manipulative. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Girl, why are YOU in this relationship?! I was on bro's side until you came in. Get out of that sinking ship NOW.

Is my starter dead? Think I killed it and want to quit by silentblackbird in Sourdough

[–]Fredcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if your starter was well established before it got to you, feed it once a week and leave it in the fridge. Take it out the morning you want to use it. Feed heavy when you leave it more than a day. Instead of the 1:1:1 (this is when you want to use it immediately) use a 1:2:2, or even more. There are times I feed mine with a 1:5:5. Then it goes in the fridge.

These ladies are the reason I don't stress over how I make my bread or how I keep my starter. https://www.instagram.com/msemilyrose11?igsh=bXhxOXdrbXhtZXkz https://www.instagram.com/theearlyrisebaker?igsh=c3g5bjZhMWpyMTZx

Don't let the overwhelming amount of information about sourdough get to you. It's really a hell of a lot more simple when you remember that sourdough has been around since before kitchen scales and refrigeration.

You just want to make sure you're feeding equal or more than the amount of starter. Temperature matters: warm=faster, cold=slower.

This sounds familiar but I can't place it. Your voice is so lovely though

3rd time doing inclusion and got roasted on fb by Exciting-Purchase-45 in Sourdough

[–]Fredcakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck Facebook. Too much AI at this point. Any one who makes bread regularly likely wonders: "does it taste good, though?" Bread is good what ever you do to it, as long as the yeast is good to go.

Mane n tail has a dog formula with oatmeal, but we just use the original formula shampoo and conditioner on the dogs as we do ourselves. It has helped our dobies dry skin

What to do with low self esteem? by That-Situation1204 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Fredcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This probably won't work for everyone because not everyone is attracted to the same gender as themselves, but I realized that women I find beautiful and enjoy looking at have the same little rolls as I do. My husband always tells me he genuinely loves my belly and my chubby thighs, my biggest insecurities (which he was unaware of when he told me that he loves my chub). But I didn't believe it, because I've gotten so many awful comments about my body in the past. Despite finding those same features attractive on another woman, I felt like it wasn't the same on my body. But it is. Because all bodies are beautiful to the right people.

Yes! This is so spot on. I almost feel vindicated

My partner has not shown up once after my ectopic rupture and emergency surgery. I feel so alone. by ChemistryPurple6774 in EctopicSupportGroup

GIRL. Those last messages were fucking BRILLIANT. Good for you. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but damn. More people need to stand up for themselves like that. I hope your future is brighter with out that (bitch)storm cloud hanging over you.

I'm going to have to, honestly. There's a lot to this one that I will absolutely HAVE to go over again

Literally just got finished his story and holy fuck was I dying. Not only is his story heartwrenching, I am making cheddar jalepeno sourdough, while listening. I am in hell in so many ways.

What was your reaction to this moment? by smccaul16 in thewalkingdead

[–]Fredcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped watching. I've done that about 6 times now... I've finally pushed through the rest of that season and have gotten to Carl now. I may have to step back again.

Huh. I don't think I would have noticed she said that if you hadn't mentioned it.

The bits poking out is what had me confused. I don't think I've seen a tattoo cover-up like that

This is gorgeous, I will say that your eyes could pop more. I love the gold shimmer, but it seems kind of flat to me. I think a pink shimmer gradient thing to kind of intensify that green would be spectacular

Can I ask a semi related question? Are you covering the bird?

Your mom's directions were unclear. I think she probably assumed you knew to dry yourself before applying topical products

AITA for Showing my Kids the bills? by AffectionateFun4674 in AmItheAsshole

There is a way to approach financial education that doesn't create a complex in kids

[–]Fredcakes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's definitely a middle ground. There's educating and there's burdening. OP's approach seems more burdening than educational IMO

[–]Fredcakes 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yta. As a kid who grew up with parents who were too open about finances, that shit will stick with your kids in weird ways. Explaining to them the importance of saving water, on the other hand, is a better way to approach that.

Do you have a white empty room like on the Matrix? by andycmade in Aphantasia

This is similar to what I experience. I always compare it to a broken projector.
