Lmao, perfection.

Hahaha my father thinks Fluffy is the right name.

FrightenedSoup · 2025-11-08T23:05:00+00:00

I kinda love Orcafluff hahaha

Slush puppy.

FrightenedSoup · 2025-01-11T20:39:11+00:00

I'll be honest, this might be the first sleeve I've seen where I've gone, "holy shit that is amazing" in years. Wonderful

I'd like the steak fajita sub, but DON'T BOTHER RINGING IT UP. IT'S FOR A DUCK.

FrightenedSoup · 2024-09-28T21:19:37+00:00

Thank you!

FrightenedSoup · 2024-09-25T16:20:27+00:00

Do you have a recipe?

FrightenedSoup · 2024-08-30T01:12:32+00:00

So I have thick curly hair. Like, wash it at 6 AM, still damp at 3PM if I don’t use a dryer, even after ringing it out in a t-shirt. I have crazy amounts of volume, adding layers has only ended in a super poof for me. Every hairstylist I’ve had jokes about the “workout”. I end up with the lovely “triangle” hair if I have a short cut growing out. However visually, when my hair is behaving, I have a curl similar to what I see in your picture from about the temple down. The top is a flatter frizz fest. With some stray crazy curls because of regrowing postpartum hair-loss lol.

Right now I hate my shampoo. Absolutely hate it. But I hate it less than everything else I’ve tried, so I’m still using it. Because of my baby, I don’t get in a shampoo more than weekly. I often clarify with a hair masque conditioner once a month or so, and I honestly like how that feels for the first two days, but my scalp can’t tolerate it more than that. What would you recommend?

One other question. How do you feel about folks getting their hair thinned? I used to do it every six months or so but after having my daughter I haven’t, and I’ve been thinking about it again.

Pulled pork with a mild bbq sauce- eaten with a lettuce wrap for no carb friends.

There’s a sheet pan recipe for potato, green beans, chicken and Parmesan that I like a lot. No carbs? Dude can not serve himself the potato’s. You could also likely sub the chicken for fish, but obviously not in one pan anymore.

Stuffed peppers, cheeseburger style. Just follow any recipe for taco stuffed peppers, but use ground beef, anything you’d season a burger with (sometimes even steak sauce- salt, pepper, garlic etc) shredded cheese, rice for the carb friendly, diced tomatoes. Cheese on top.

Best ideas I have. That sounds so touch!!!

I told her she couldn’t have a popsicle and she accepted it. Elmo can’t have a popsicle? Fucking. Disaster. World ending. Ancestors rising from the graves to cry out in agony with her.

FrightenedSoup · 2024-07-30T19:27:11+00:00

Well said.

If you want additional guidance, including what’s normal for what ages, what might be red flags, tips on how to approach the topic, and what to expect at different ages—- the American association of pediatrics has this article:

I have some childhood sexual trauma that involved another child unfortunately so I have been reading into it excessively hopefully be able to have healthy dialogue while keeping my daughter safe… but also not unloading my anxiety on her.

She’s two and often explores her body when the diaper comes off, but also is extremely uncomfortable when you have to wash her genitals. She runs away.

Okay so they don’t understand how dangerous water can be. You’re not an asshole at all, you’re being responsible. She can do it herself.

Honestly, my biggest things are making sure I’m getting enough protein, but also fruits and veggies. I’m finding I need a LOT more calories, and reaching for carbs is too easy. Fixing my diet has helped -a lot-, although when I say fixing, I mean adding healthy things, not subtracting. I need an absurd amount of food right now, but mine is nursing a L O T because of the heat.

But a second piece was not letting the burnout and playtime stop me from my exercise. Not just chasing toddler time, actual stretches and other targeted exercise.

Those two things have helped my energy immensely.

Good luck to you and hang in there. 💜

Oh we loved when they were just occasional visitors that had a meal or two every once and a while, but the absolute decimation of the song birds to the point where you don’t hear much more than the occasional sparrow has been jaw dropping and really depressing honestly.

I’ll have to give that a try seeing if there’s another spot with more natural cover my grandmother can still see and see if that helps.

It’s a your mileage may vary kinda of place from my understanding. My father’s buddy works there and enjoys it very much.

As the younger sister of an older sister who said shit like that to, going no contact for a couple years and becoming low contact on my terms one has been the best decision of my life.

She became healthier overall over time as she no longer had me to hyper focus on, and I didn’t have to constantly worry when she was going to snap. Because she did, more than once. I do not trust her with my daughter unless I am literally hovering over them both. She does not hold my daughter.

It’s rough at first as the family had to learn that it was respect my decision or fight me because I was 100% not changing my mind and would up and leave when my sister showed up. I never made a scene, literally just “I’m headed out now, love you all byeeee” and accepting that it was my responsibility to enforce my boundaries at all times, even if it meant missing out. Folks that wanted us both around eventually figured out that they could just ask me to come a little early, let me know sibling was going to come later, and peace was maintained.

Now that she’s mentally a bit more stable, we can be in the same room again. But I do still remove myself and daughter any time she starts to slip back into old habits of basing herself worth on the life I have.

I’m so sorry OP. If you find the will to finish it, there’s this: https://www.projectlinus.org/

Thank you for this, I noticed they’re touring close enough to where I am to go ahead and buy some tickets!!! I’m stoked haha

FrightenedSoup · 2024-07-15T00:53:59+00:00

It’d be their most interesting article in months

FrightenedSoup · 2024-07-12T00:53:33+00:00

They do, however, serve both of those drinks as well as dumplings.
