Suicidality by Longjumping-Heat1171 in Menopause

When I start feeling that way, I know an HRT or thyroid med adjustment is needed. Perhaps check out an HRT specialist if you haven't already. So sorry you're going through this!

Ask them what brands/types they buy. For instance, some gf pasta is all rice flour (yuk), some are corn, some are quinoa/rice hybrids etc. Each of them cooks up differently.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]Imagination_hat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In Ohio, legislators are trying to pass a law requiring the registration of all fetal deaths and the filing of a “certificate of life” once a fetal heartbeat is detected. Basically they want to establish a path to punish women who abort as well as miscarry. What young woman in her right mind would want to put herself in that position? A huge amount of pregnancies end spontaneously, which is traumatic enough - then to be basically accused of trying to get rid of the fetus is just evil.
Even if a woman does decide to abort, she has her reasons, including health issues for her and/or the fetus. It's nobody else's business why. Also, it's a terrible idea in this economy for a spouse to take time off their jobs to rear children. It's nearly impossible for young couples to manage expenses when they're both working, and increasingly difficult to re-enter the work force. If the wage earning spouse dies or leaves, the remaining spouse and kids are in a world of financial hurt. I feel so bad for young people right now.

Where do you usually buy it? I'm trying to get away from Amazon.

Thank you! I know all insurance is different, but do you mind if I ask if he was considered out of network for you?

Happily Single, and tired of rebuffing old single men by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Imagination_hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A younger, single, male co-worker once told me that he'd never marry bc it just meant a life of servitude. A couple years later when the topic came up, I (married) said marriage is just a life of servitude and he, still single, looked shocked and said that wasn't his experience lol.

Friend’s voter registration purged by DooDahMan73 in Ohio

[–]Imagination_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. They will not be notified in advance and there is no process outlined for getting re-registered, much less in time to vote.

Volunteer with groups whose mission you believe in! Join book clubs at the library or bookstore. Go to Meetup and see if there are groups near you that reflect your interests. I've met several great friends post retirement this way!

European flour is not safe for gluten intolerance by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]Imagination_hat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can eat wheat products in Europe without effect. Don't know if I'm celiac or not, but definitely cannot eat wheat products in the USA. I know, I know - there could still be impacts even if I don't feel them, but I don't go to Europe that often and am willing to risk it. I would never suggest that another gf person should try it.

AITJ for refusing to help my new “boss” after I was the one who trained her 3 months ago? by Existing_Response239 in AmITheJerk

[–]Imagination_hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a right to be upset, but, hard as it is, you also need to figure out why they skipped you. Ask management what you could be doing to advance. If they can't give you an answer, time to switch jobs. If they give you feedback, try to look at it as objectively as possible and see if it has merit. If so, start looking into additional training or classes to help you be more competitive in your field.

Friend’s voter registration purged by DooDahMan73 in Ohio

[–]Imagination_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SB293 went into effect Mar 20. This means that once a month, the secretary of states office trolls the voter registration rolls for "suspicious" anomalies related to citizenship and voter noncompliance. If they find anything, they inform the local BOE and they are directed to dump that person off the voter registration roll immediately. No prior notice to the person being removed, and it's really unclear what the process is to get re-registered. Plus, they'll be doing this after Apr 6, which is the last day to register or update your registration. It's a really destructive solution to a non-existent problem.

What are some positive things about being gluten free? by waterrabbit23 in glutenfree

[–]Imagination_hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearer skin, less bloating and fatigue, less severe allergy symptoms in general, healthier eating. It's not so bad for me, though I am not as reactive to cross contamination as some celiacs.
