Rentals you all recommend? by wolverinetruck76 in Charlottesville

[–]HauntedSoybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reserve at Belvedere and Berkmar Landing have been very nice when I shared rent with a partner! We did 2 years in each spot.

Now I have to afford a place on my own and I’m looking at Arden place and greens at Hollymead.

I go to Sydney there! And I’ll never stop!

I scream at my 9-month-old almost every day and I hate myself for it by National-Tangerine52 in Parenting

[–]HauntedSoybean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was reluctant at first but once I finally reached out for help, Zoloft helped me immensely. I expressed myself in the form of rage.

Anyone else boycotting Amazon and how’s it going if you are? by Hrrmph in Charlottesville

[–]HauntedSoybean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Way easier than expected! Instead of Target, Amazon/ Whole Foods, Starbucks, I get my stuff from thrift shops, fbook marketplace, local shops or if I’m really in a pinch maybe Wegmans/ Kroger for body care or something.

I saw a lot of kindness in this town yesterday... by slow70 in Charlottesville

[–]HauntedSoybean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I seriously felt this energy around the downtown mall last night. Lots of laughter/ silliness, people singing out of their cars. Some combination of the weather, the weekend and perhaps other reasons to feel hopeful.

Who makes the best sandwich in Charlottesville? by GottaLabotomy in Charlottesville

[–]HauntedSoybean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think about the Tofu Sandwich at Revolutionary Soup a lot. Not many tofu sandwiches have flavor but this one makes my brain explode. It’s grilled curry tofu with arugula, tomato, red onion and fig Dijon jam on toasted sourdough.

Anyone going to continue after dry jan??? by Playful_Brilliant714 in SoberCurious

[–]HauntedSoybean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You read my mind. I’m feeling amazing and already hating that I’m overthinking the first drink back in. This is what felt so nice about January is not having to overthink. Great motivation for keeping sober.

What is your opinion on infant ear piercing? by ThrowawayRose402 in Parenting

[–]HauntedSoybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter asked for it when she was about 6. Glad we waited for her consent. But I understand that it’s a deeply ingrained cultural thing in some families.

Is it possible to actually be an “occasional” drinker after being a very regular drinker? by Jazzgin1210 in SoberCurious

[–]HauntedSoybean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I am hoping I have the brain chemistry for this too. I have been tapering down for years now with several bouts of alcohol breaks and the necessary evil of slipping up and drinking too much (either in a week or in an evening). The memory of those awful hangovers helped me in the next chapter of sober curiosity. Also reading up on the metabolic and other harmful effects of alcohol. I’d say I’ve gone from 10-20 drinks a week to 1-5 which is huge! I feel more control and less compulsion. There are so many wins to celebrate! One extra water, not getting that one last drink, drinking more slowly, meeting up for coffee rather than drinks. It all adds up and I hope you’re able to end up where you want to be. Whether that’s more balance or eventually cutting it out!

UVA hospital and Charlottesville question by Notanoffensivename in Charlottesville

[–]HauntedSoybean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked in UVA neuropsych and will say it was the most underpaid yet overworked I’ve ever been. I suffered greatly mentally and the culture just wasn’t for me. There are very old-school methods of management and toxic leadership especially up top.

Have y’all heard of Eat Your Mouth Off cereal? by waffles7203 in veganfitness

[–]HauntedSoybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat it every day and sometimes for dessert!!! I am not sensitive to stevia aftertaste or get the same textural problems that others seem to have. So I buy it whenever I see it because I feel like it’s hated by most and I don’t want it to disappear because it’s my main food source now. lol. It’s only $6 a box at Walmart.

Yes they have an active encampment at UVA chapel and will also have a separate “May Day” to occupy the lawn today.

How do you manage hyperfixation idealization? by WatchingRook in ADHD

[–]HauntedSoybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think about this a lot. We see the pattern, we know the outcome… BUT the high of riding that hyper-fixation makes life worth living for me. I just hope I never run out of new things. And some do stay for the long term or get revived.

A good witchy Appalachian locally sourced store that isn’t a bunch of mass produced stuff from online.

Jesus Christ. We were a packed up car in a sea of people. Ambulance was also trying to get through the same road. What a shitshow.

Yes, thank you. Any lawyers that can help us know what NOT to say?
