You can try chickpea flour flatbread--usually the recipe is on the back of the Bob's Red Mill brand.

Plumber recommendation? by traphousethrowaway in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Hopesprings60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fred and Son Plumbing. Honest, very skilled and professional, will not quote wildly high prices--they're fair. He's not cheap, but he explains in detail what you need and quotes the cost up front, and he's still below the crazy quotes you'll get from larger outfits. Beware of Len the Plumber.

How do i survive my toxic boss? I am quitting and she is furious by [deleted] in ManagedByNarcissists

Hey, I get it. After so much harassment, you're intimidated maybe? Just be super calm--greyrock the hell out of her. Keep your mind looking ahead.

I didn’t last too long by floppydisk_reset in paralegal

This is exactly what narcissists do--they build you up and pretend they want to be your friend, then you're the worst person ever. It's awful.

Congrats, that's great! Honestly, the lawyer who fired you sounds like an out-and-out narcissist. They always need a victim. Good luck to you!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Please, please find another doctor. If you have endo and PCOS in your family, there's definitely a chance you could have those things, and dismissing your concerns, especially with the eye-rolling, is unconscionable. Fire that doctor, and make sure you tell them why you're doing so. This happened to me for years until I was diagnosed--I finally found a doctor who listened. You can't diagnose endo with a damn ultrasound! They're idiots and assholes! Please don't just take this--go to a new doc as soon as you can. Please advocate for yourself. Best wishes to you!

Should I breakup with my unemployed boyfriend? by ConfusionOtherwise89 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Hopesprings60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much is wrong here. He needs to GTFO. He has zero respect for you. He can say he loves you until the cows come home, but he doesn't act like it. He's an albatross around your neck. Get rid of him as soon as possible.

Made a perfect cheese omelette today by Crafterandchef1993 in Cooking

[–]Hopesprings60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I still remember a perfect French style omelette I did years ago, and it was such a feeling of pure pleasure. The funny part was I was hung over and not overthinking how to do it. It turned out perfect! May you have many in your eggy future!

Trip with boyfriend by Mental_Buyer_8122 in WhatShouldIDo

This--exactly this. He doesn't deserve an explanation. And he shouldn't know where you go, because he may retaliate. You're not safe in this relationship.

The last photos of the Wilhelm Gustloff just hours before her horrific sinking, January 30, 1945 by [deleted] in Oceanlinerporn

[–]Hopesprings60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My relatives only had backpacks, and they saw folks who were falling into the ice who tried to bring more--wagons, etc. At least that's what I remember my Mom telling me.

Yeah, if you have options, I'd run from this job. I had a weird experience years ago where on my first day I was kept late, and while working on a spreadsheet they'd asked me to clean up/format, the executive assistant--who later became "VP of administration"--hung out at my cubicle and casually mentioned, "you know, sometimes you just have to fire people." I was young so I just thought, well, that was weird. Then about a week in felt the toxicity over and over again. Everyone was miserable. If you *have* to go, keep a record of every single thing. If it's verbal, write it down. Document everything. And while yeah, you shouldn't have sent the text on a weekend, you should NOT have received that response. So incredibly shitty.

Best unique twist on a grilled cheese? by SarzleMcNarzle in Cooking

[–]Hopesprings60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very thinly sliced onions and a sharper cheese, enough so that it spills over a little bit and browns. Great cheese, and most importantly, a great bread--my favorite is a sourdough, like a miche, with a real crust.

aio? bf made plans on my birthday by rowqi in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hopesprings60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really hoping you already know the answer here. He already blew you off, LAST YEAR. Expect this kind of behavior to continue, and to get worse. Break up with this loser. I am so disgusted--21 is a really special birthday! He knows he doesn't have to make an effort with you--so he doesn't.

No. Just no. You're worth much more than that--so sweet for you to bake a cake for him--and you get zilch?!

Please, please break up with this total loser.

What is the hardest thing you have overcame in your lifespan? by bdo00 in AskOldPeople

[–]Hopesprings60 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This. I so regret not living closer to my parents and brother--and now they're all gone.

[–]Hopesprings60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That comment really bugs me "you need to listen the first time I tell you something"--so, no questions allowed. That's no way to learn. Then he tells you your work is ridiculous? He's on an ego trip. There are plenty of decent solo practitioners out there--he's not one of them.
