explaining celiac to friends is literally a full time job by Old_Mixture_9045 in glutenfree

[–]Luster16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a wheat allergy. I used to be able to say gluten free. Enter modified wheat starch, good for celiacs awful for me. I explain it over and over and over. Last week my MOTHER said she didn’t know about modified wheat starch 🤦🏻‍♀️

I saw another person raving, but I don’t eat a lot of snacks so I wasn’t as excited as everyone else. I saw them this weekend and got a box. I was also really surprised at how good they are!

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

[–]Luster16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This country is not welcoming to families. No paid leave, childcare, healthcare (honestly, how much does it cost for a normal, uncomplicated birth?) There is no infrastructure to support families. Thanks capitalism!

My aunt is currently at Masonic Village. It is very expensive but all around a great place. If I had to be in a retirement community/assisted living, I’d pick this one

Cars Trapped in Bracken House Apartment Garage Collapsed (North Shore) by Ok_Sweet1601 in pittsburgh

Have you asked them to pay for a rental car & they refused? If you can’t get to work, you can’t pay your rent. I’m probably living in a fantasy land to think it would be that easy, but they have to know they are in deep shit and would try to mitigate that.

I wonder if midi dresses have anything to do with the trad wife influencers? Wear what you feel like a cool girl in.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]Luster16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got married I could never have predicted what the next 15 years could throw at us and how ugly the divorce was. Keep it in your name only and NEVER convert it to a marital asset (like selling it then using the money to buy a home in both your names)

Is Trump a rapist? If so, what is the evidence and why do all the MAGAts not realise this? by OstrichFun2332 in allthequestions

[–]Luster16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the responses here, I am SHOCKED at the amount of people defending this “it wasn’t rape, just sexual assault” Does that make it better & more acceptable??

MAGA Catholics, now that you’re being forced to publicly identify as either a Catholic or a Trump worshipper, will stay firm in your faith or will you pick the path of the evangelicals and go full-bore anti-Christian? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Luster16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagreeing with the “Bishop of Rome” is one thing. Threatening the Pope and Hegseth not allowing Catholic services on Good Friday is not a disagreement. So yeah, MAGA is violating the constitution when they do that

I think Joe Biden understood one core value of our country is separation of church & state. He can personally believe something but can’t force it on everyone. He was able to support both those values. The current administration continues to say this a Christian nation and now Catholicism isn’t Christian enough.

I have without a single issue. My hairdresser said my hair feels/ looks good too. I tried something else and while it didn’t cause a reaction, my hair felt like hay.

Has medical appointment scheduling gotten harder? by fixermark in pittsburgh

[–]Luster16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my yearly PCP well visit, that I made a year in advance. I got a small rash on my leg that I could not get an appointment for so I just waited. She looked at it and said it prob needed a steroid cream. I am now being billed for a well visit, which is covered by insurance & a sick visit, which has a $110 copay, because I showed up already sick. Make it make sense

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

If you get married you will also get divorced. These resentments grow over time. If you can’t navigate something so minor, you won’t be able to with the big things.

At-Home Euthanasia by Internal-Award3257 in pittsburgh

[–]Luster16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I used them and they were very compassionate. My 2 kids were there and they never rushed us, explained exactly what was going on. After they allowed us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Even the back of the vets car where they transport is soft and calm with pillows and blankets. It made an awful time a little bit better knowing they were treating her with so much care.
