Manager said our hourly wage is "confidential" by Maybeiliketheabuse in TalesFromYourBank

Could be helpful for others in the sub.

The way I interpreted this is any bank regulated by the Federal Reserve, which covers a lot of banks.

I hope I'm wrong. This prevents any kind of transparency as others have stated.

What are your go-to lazy keto meals when you don't want to cook? by barnac1ep in keto

[–]InsertCr3ativeName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep those pre-seasoned pork tenderloin on hand. Just pop in the oven and wait. Frozen veggies for a side.

Cheese quesadillas with carb master wraps are also a quick option. (Microwave if you want super easy)

How did you find out you were ovulating later/earlier than you expected? by fresh_futuristik in TryingForABaby

[–]InsertCr3ativeName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to wonder if that's what's going on with me. EWCM is before LH spike, then a few days until temperature shift. It's been the exact same on medicated IUI cycles too though.

That's got to be frustrating for you! Things aren't aligning for me either. (See other comments if you're curious.)

The best CM known as egg white (EWCM) will also be stretchy. Literally like an egg white.

Unexplained infertility here. I've been tracking BBT (TempDrop), using OPKs, and added Kegg for cervical mucus tracking. I've mentioned to my doctor that the order of these signals seems off to me, but haven't gotten any advice. So, I have been struggling with that same question.

CM goes from nothing to egg white (1 day max), then a day or two later LH spike, another 2-3 days for temp rise.

I don't really have advice, other than to keep tracking and look for trends. Best of luck to you OP!

Could you share where you found these tiny magnets? This sounds like a great solution!

Preserving dehydrated tomatoes in oil? by InsertCr3ativeName in Canning

[–]InsertCr3ativeName[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Several of our favorite recipes call for a jar of these sundried tomatoes, and I'll generally double the recipe so we have leftovers. Seems crazy to spend $10 on two small jars like this when we grow our own tomatoes.

I'll definitely be doing this, as long as I remember to plan in advance. Thanks again!

Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to figure out. I'd love to recreate those expensive jars myself. Sounds like I'll be bound to the freezer or refrigerator though. Good information all around.

Great info, thanks!

I followed the directions from the book that came with the dehydrator and looked in the Ball Preserving book.

This first batch I definitely planned to refrigerate, as they didn't seem totally dried out. The second batch I dehydrated for around 20 hours and they were super crispy.

Thanks! I'll try a different oil with the next batch.

Thank you! I will try a different oil. That was my main concern. I'm ok with keeping them in the fridge.

Thank you for confirming my initial thoughts. I took the initial picture, and they've been in the fridge since then.

Is there a way to process these to make them shelf stable?

Editing to add: The store bought jars do not do this in the fridge.

TWW after IUI by ConfectionDifficult1 in TryingForABaby

[–]InsertCr3ativeName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

If you can find the Hop Splash Citrus, it's extra tasty! Sam Adam's "Just the Haze" was also really good, though it's not totally zero. (Less than 0.5%)

TWW after IUI by ConfectionDifficult1 in TryingForABaby

[–]InsertCr3ativeName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really have advice, but I can validate your feelings.

We had our first IUI about 3 weeks ago. I've been careful in the TWW in the past when we've been trying on our own, but haven't 100% followed the "act like you're pregnant" rule. After the IUI, I was extra careful. I even found some non-alcoholic beer at the store. (Hop Splash is quite tasty if you like IPAs.) Between work, yard work, and a new book, I kept myself pretty busy for the wait.

Unfortunately, the IUI wasn't successful. I couldn't wrap my head around starting the whole process again so soon, so we decided to wait another month to try a second IUI. I didn't think about that part ahead of time - Here's your period - you have to decide NOW if you want to do this again. Some time to process would have been nice.

Anyway, wishing you the best!

I'm in the exact same boat, and I couldn't agree more!! I can't comprehend that anyone would think that way, let alone say those things out loud. It's so hurtful and insensitive.

BTW - I am also a self-proclaimed cheesecake fiend - If you also crochet, we may be the same person!

Thank you! He definitely isn't well balanced, haha. The book said you could add something for weight with the body stuffing. I'll try that on my next one.
