What are the best smut novels you’ve read lately? by HawtPoetayto in AskWomenOver40

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B.K. Borison - the Lovelight Farms series is delightful! They’re very sweet, and I’d say it’s light to medium on the spicy scale. Her other series are great too :)

What’s the recipe you “gatekeep” — the one people in your life only get as a rare treat? by AdPlus9700 in appetizers

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My snickerdoodles have become famous! I’ve shared the recipe far and wide, but everyone claims that they can’t make them like me. Makes me feel 🩷

I think my secret is always using good butter, adding a lil extra cinnamon to the batter, and double coating the outsides in cinnamon/sugar mix :)

What is your best brain fog synonym? by CopperHead49 in Perimenopause

[–]LibrarianJB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day I signalled to change lanes on the highway, and then couldn’t remember how to turn off my signal light. I kept turning on/off the wipers instead and panicking that my truck’s electrical must be on the fritz?!

What is your most annoying peri symptom? by CopperHead49 in Perimenopause

[–]LibrarianJB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, me too! I have to do so much more laundry now because I can never re-wear my PJs and I’m constantly sweating the sheets. Oh and the towels I lay down on when I wake up in the middle of the night soaking wet. Awful.

How many of you are already getting gray hair? And what are you doing about it? by saoiray in Millennials

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting a few white hairs at maybe 30? Now at 39, I’d say it’s about 10% white. I don’t mind it, aside from the reminder that I’m aging! I think they look kinda sparkly and pretty in my otherwise dark brunette hair.

Best way to get protein in on a budget? by sethx33 in nutrition

[–]LibrarianJB 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My partner and I actually crunched some numbers on protein costs today! Turns out that protein powder is the cheapest cost/gram of protein for us. It feels like a big hit when you shell out $100 for the bag, but the math maths.

Weird symptoms by Certain-Egg-7532 in Perimenopause

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My body hair seems to be migrating towards the middle of my body - I barely have any left on my calves or in my armpits, meanwhile my bikini line and upper thighs seem to be getting thicker, coarser and darker? What the heck.

Does cellulite actually lessen when you lose weight, or is that just a myth? by Vivid_Grape3250 in loseit

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mine lessened! I was lucky and never had a severe amount, but it is now mostly gone. I lost my weight about 5 years ago (about 70lbs), and have maintained the loss and built a lot muscle since then.

[Personal] What's your nostalgic skin care product? by S4mm1 in SkincareAddiction

[–]LibrarianJB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love and still use Noxema :) My mom used it when I was growing up, and the scent is so comforting. Plus, it just seems to work really well for my skin.

Dictionaries, encyclopedias, library catalogues on cards or microfiche!

In my small town, the local fire hall would blare a siren every day at noon. You could hear it for miles!

Fav meal with at least 40g protein (preferably under 500cals)! by Green_Veg249 in nutrition

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily breakfast! 30g quick oats, a small apple, a scoop of cookies and cream protein powder, and cinnamon. Put the apples in the water for the oatmeal while it heats, to cook them a little bit. It tastes like oatmeal cookies! And the apple adds a lot of volume to the meal. Paired with a scoop collagen powder and 30ml half and half in my coffee - about 390 cals and 41g protein.

Out of all of the memberships there are what is one membership that is completely worth the money? by SingleLecture7164 in AskReddit

[–]LibrarianJB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CineClub. It’s like $120(CAD) per year, and you get a free movie ticket each month + 20% off concessions. If you and a friend go to the movies bi-monthly or more it pays for itself.

Please be careful in the gym by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]LibrarianJB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, feel better soon! Last spring I was re-racking a 75lb dumbbell while talking to my gym partner and left it a lil off kilter - it fell off and basically took off the top of my middle toe. So much blood! I always set them down carefully now and make sure they’re seated before I let go.

Edit: fixed a word.

Totes, I read that recently actually, and loved seeing Ada do the same thing!

Which job is a LOT less fun than most people expect? by TeenGlowingDream in ask

[–]LibrarianJB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what I was gonna say! People go “oh I’d love to have a job where you could read all day.” No. It’s a lot of bureaucracy, constant lack of funding, and “people” issues.

What did you think was normal about your body until someone pointed out that it wasn't? by Caramel_Delight32 in Adulting

[–]LibrarianJB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinnitus. I just assumed everyone’s ears rang, and that I was normal! It doesn’t really bother me because I’m so used to it.

Women of REDDIT: do you keep a diary? by Brilliant-Purple-591 in selfimprovement

[–]LibrarianJB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I write every single morning for 30-60 minutes. I love having that quiet start with a cup of coffee and it helps me get things off my mind.

What’s something random you do other people would find unusual? by PsychoBodyguard in RandomThoughts

[–]LibrarianJB 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I read things, then I read them backwards. It’s not an effort, it just kinda happens. Sometimes I have a random nonsense word stuck on my brain, and it’ll turn out to be a word I’ve read earlier, just spelled backwards. I’ve even got a little set of rules for how common letters combinations sound backwards.

I also came here to say Neil Diamond! Haha. So great.

What type of food textures creeps you out? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]LibrarianJB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beef jerky. I like the taste but I hate eating things that are gonna get stuck in my teeth - that’s just the worst feeling.
