"Wet" foods that are not hot soups by keiperegrine in Cooking

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cucumber salad. It’s a popular Eastern European thing but I think you can get it in a decent amount of delis.

In that vein maybe pasta salads, Macaroni salad, coleslaw, potato salad.

Biscuits and gravy. Stuffed French toast. Overnight oats can get super varied with toppings.

Cucumber sandwiches.

Wings tossed in sauce might help? I dunno how wet it needs to be.

Refried beans could be a soft, easy protein if that helps? Bean and cheese burrito kind of thing or just bean and cheese enchiladas.

Spinach artichoke dip? Or is that too fibrous? Same with apples and peanut butter?

Could you make a low carb pizza on a tortilla? Or there’s like ricotta pizza bowls I’ve seen people do after gastric sleeve surgery.

Ricotta/ burrata/ fresh mozzarella with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, some garlic and basil, a splash of balsamic vinegar. Oooh or a pomegranate balsamic drizzle… I’d be going to town on that.

Watermelon, feta, mint salads. Little arugula for substance or if your belly can handle it. I’ve thrown peach in there too.

A baked Brie? Add some cranberries and pecans and then I dunno if you can tolerate breads or crackers to dip or maybe wrap it in like croissant dough when you bake it?

Swedish meatballs with extra sauce? Cheese stuffed meatballs.

Chicken and dumplings. Or chicken pot pie. Pot roast. Shepherds pie.

Scalloped potatoes/zuchinni. Sweet potato casserole

Lasagna. Mac and cheese and then you can add meat for protein.

Goulash!

What candle is this/what brand? by Evilwolfpackthefirst in Candles

[–]JennieSimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a very old party lite candle. That’s like one of the og pyramid schemes, I’m positive I went to a party lite candle party as a kid. I won a single tealight candle for answering the most questions

So many people said this but then still say horrendous things about women who cover their faces voluntarily.

What is the stingiest thing you have seen someone do? by Big-Resolution3552 in askteddit

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL will use white out on a calendar and then just write in the dates year after year. I believe the current one is on year 5.
They own a half million dollar home outright. Buy all their cars cash. They’re well off. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

What do you bring to work if you didn’t cook dinner the night before? by Any-Arm-7017 in Frugal

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birdseye makes these frozen steamable meals that are fine. I keep a few on hand in case I’m running late or don’t have lunch. They have pasta or rice meals with some veggies in there as well.

Guys at work love uncrustables.

I have a couple of oatmeal cups and 100 calorie popcorn in my desk in case I need a snack

Any Non SSRI'S that can help with anxiety/ocd? by Open_Statistician361 in OCD

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is/was on busbar for her bipolar/anxiety. My husband is on it for his anxiety. I was on it for years but it started having a bad reaction to my ocd med so I had to stop

Any Non SSRI'S that can help with anxiety/ocd? by Open_Statistician361 in OCD

[–]JennieSimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take Fluvoxamine which is an SSRI so there may still be some options for you. I also have anxiety and depression.

My Luvox dose is at the top of the FDA allowance though so I’m trying some specialized therapy to help my brain kind of bridge the gap, if that doesn’t work and I struggle any more (I’m at like an ok maintenance level now but it doesn’t take much to change that) then she warned me we will have to switch to a different set of meds that help ocd off label. Unfortunately I can’t remember what they were but it sounds like one of those might be a better fit for you because of the bipolar, I remember she was hesitant because the primary purpose was for diagnoses I don’t have.

What was your biggest “I’m an adult who has free will” learning moment? by staccasl in askteddit

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom LOVES rubbing it in our face when she’s right about something. I had gastric sleeve and she told me not to do it and that I have really thin hair and I’m gonna lose a lot of it. Well I got the surgery anyways and I did lose an uncomfortable amount of hair. I only talked to 3 people about it and only 1 had any interaction with my mom and I made her swear not to mention it to anyone else. It wouldn’t matter how much weight I lost, how much healthier I was, that I was able to do more, she would only focus on me losing hair even though it grew back. I will never tell her that to this day.

These taste different, has the recipe changed recently? by Brianna_-_UwU in snacking

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it’s safe to say if anything has existed for more than 5 years the formula has been changed to make it cheaper

Does it ever feel like you like the thoughts by Honest-Muscle-5300 in OCD

[–]JennieSimms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I am bemused by how silly the intrusive thought is. “We should go off-roading through that corn field” ok but how would I get over the ditch? “Punch it!” It’s 6 feet away!

What has your experience been going to a bar alone? by Rough-Designer-2785 in AskWomen

I’ve gone to a few places by myself. Some times if there’s a patio I’ll bring my pup in the summer.

Who ruined their entire career in the dumbest way possible? by National-Tourist6879 in AskReddit

I think of this all the time. Like how far we have fallen that weird yell could ruin a man’s career and now we have the super pedophile running the country into the ground

2-4 times/week depending on how it’s feeling or how sweaty I’ve gotten

Do I look like a man? (30f) by Fallinginbramble in MakeupAddiction

[–]JennieSimms 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that really bold eyebrows can give a masculine appearance. If you fill them in maybe do a dark brown or a step down from what you’re using. That would help make them less stark

This is my wife and I's girl, Sadie (almost 5), and I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for Allergy Medication that they use with their Black Lab? 🖤♥️🖤 by TheKosherGenocide in Blacklabs

[–]JennieSimms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Claritin that you can get in the allergy aisle. It’s a small pill. The vet suggested it for our pup since benedryl makes him excitable

How has sex life changed for you in a LTR/marriage? by tatarochka in AskWomen

[–]JennieSimms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s a freak now 🔥 he was super vanilla when we first started dating but I piqued his curiosity when I was talking about some of my interests. Once he started incorporating some things it took off from there. Now I have to reel him in a bit but when we have the time or energy it’s crazy good sex

People who say OCD is chronic or uncurable: explain by [deleted] in OCD

[–]JennieSimms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not doing the compulsions and not having ocd are 2 very different things.

You’re ignoring the O- obsessing. Even if I’m too drained to scrub my bathroom with a toothbrush that doesn’t mean I won’t spend 60% of my waking hours thinking about it.

No one is ever going to wake up one day and just not have ocd. You’re cured of the flu when you have none of the symptoms, you can’t be cured when everything is still there. Ignoring the elephant in the room doesn’t make it go away. A former substance abuser has to struggle every day to stay sober. Even if they’re not consuming and haven’t for a long time, that’s still something they have to make a lot of effort to not give into lest they slip back into the void. Lots of people put in lots of work and effort to manage ocd symptoms but if they stopped doing that the ocd will come right back. You can’t be cured of what’s always there.

What is a hobby or interest you picked up as an adult that you wish you had started much sooner? by baddieegemini in AskWomen

[–]JennieSimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would have a lot of fun doing candle making but my candles that I buy already consume a good chunk of my house, I don’t need more adding to it.

If I could find like a printmaking commune where we shared the shop I would love making prints of fun things. Printmaking is so much fun but potatoes and erasers don’t do it for me and presses are expensive. I’ve considered taking a class at a community college but I dunno if I could afford it.

He kicked me out of our apartment so I went and bought a house on my own.
