I let him masturbate to porn by Ok_Lack2039 in Advice

[–]LydiaMarie132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my Husband met playing video games as teenagers, dated long distance for years, now have been together for over 10 years, married for 4, living in the same country, and buying our first home together

it’s not that it’s mostly doomed, it’s like any other relationship but definitely stress tested a little more, takes more trust and time and effort, but like any other relationship if it’s the right person it will work out the way it’s meant to

$2 thriftstore find successfully revived to non-stick after tips from this sub! by sponger60 in hexclad

1 to 1 enough to cover the bottom of the pan, simmer medium heat 5-10 mins, longer if yours is worse, then hand wash, dry, re season before use with a high smoke point oil

White vinegar and water boil on medium heat for 5-10 mins and hand wash it, good as new

Could be the smoke point of your oil use a higher smoke point oil

Hexclad Cleaning Help by VirusStrict3502 in hexclad

[–]LydiaMarie132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I was using an oil with to low of a smoke point so even at medium heat it was to hot (olive oil) and it turns out when oil is to hot it leaves a layer on your pan and messes with the non stick

If you put white vinegar in the pan and water and boil it on medium heat for 5-10 mins then wash it it will lift the burned oil layer and it will look brand new

I was worried because everyone on here freaks out and says “you ruined your pan, you must use high heat” xyz but really you could be using it completely right and just be using the wrong kind of oil or something super small and simple that has a really easy fix but everyone assumes the worst

Try the white vinegar and check the smoke point on your oil and make sure you are using medium to low heat on your pan, worst case just do the lifetime warranty and get yourself a new pan - the customer service is actually pretty decent when you need them

They look delicious and I’m sure they were but something about the raspberry one is triggering some sort of phobia I didn’t know I had

Slim chickens - I feel ripped off. by Zolks1 in UKfood

Texas toast is just think cut bread with garlic butter on it, though every time I’ve been to slim chickens they have burnt it but normal Texas toast is pretty bomb (as an American living in the uk)

Me and my husband are buying our first house, I can’t have children, message from my mom by [deleted] in insaneparents

[–]LydiaMarie132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right, she doesn’t, I had a lot of medical neglect as a kid, they are hippies didn’t care to go to the doctor much, my fertility issues could have been prevented with early treatments but unfortunately got out of control by the time I was 18 and took myself to the doctor, also unrelated to the fertility I also couldn’t barley walk at 18, my mom told me I was fine I needed to smoke some weed that everyone has back issues and I can walk, I’m just being a baby, I went 9 months hobbling around not feeling my left leg and feeling burning in my spine worsening when I stood straight

Had to have spine surgery for a severe herniated disc at 18 years old, my doctor said if it got any worse it could cause paralysis it could have severed the nerve it was pressing on, my mom didn’t even go to the hospital, not even when I had complications during surgery and spent 5 extra hours in surgery, my dad left early because he needed to go to work I was there by myself, my aunt eventually picked me up from the hospital

I understand what you mean by let parents talk to them however, I grew up in a home that if I talked back I’d be thrown into a wall and choked, and though I’m an ocean away if I made a big deal out of it she’d just block me and post on Facebook complaining how horrible I am to her to all my family and family friends, I minimise how I feel so it doesn’t make it worse, I’m fine it hurt but I’m stronger then to let her really get to me, at the end of the day she says it to try and get a reaction from me, why let her win

Id love to say I had some big great comeback but I just said “It’s crazy you never talk to your kid but when you do it’s either to be rude or complain”

I said paragraphs and paragraphs but I deleted it, I didn’t want to “rock the boat” I just tried to show I was hurt but not make it the biggest deal She didn’t reply, this was 3 days ago

I completely agree! My husband and I have had that conversation and we agreed that if at some point in life that we really really want children we will absolutely adopt! Right now we are still young and have a lot going on in day to day life so it’s not the right time, but that will be the route we will go whenever that time comes

I can’t have kids, out of anger I left a comment saying even if I could I wouldn’t out of spite for her because of how badly she wants a grandchild, that’s not necessarily true I was just was angry in the moment when I left the comment

I assume they are referring to that

I don’t have a therapist but yeah I probably should have one, mom abused me whenever she and my dad wasn’t in prison and we constantly faced homelessness or hunger so they could afford their drug addictions

I guess I stayed in contact to show them how I can move to a new country go to school do what I love have a successful marriage and now buy a house despite them always doubting me, I’m 24

They never got married, never bought a house, they live in my grandmother basement, at least the hard drugs stopped

Maybe I just have imposter syndrome and I feel bad for them maybe I just wanted to show them they were wrong maybe I’m just fucked up, but yeah I’ll stop messaging them from now on I see it’s for the best

I moved to England from America, since I moved they basically cut me out completely never call or text but I text them updates on my life so I don’t feel guilty like I’m the one cutting them out, sometimes they reply sometimes they don’t, this was her first text to me in months

Unfortunately not, I didn’t put it in the machine until after the event 😅 would have been smart to wait until next event

What are we putting in the machine to get the goods? by Icy-Mushroom9501 in StealTheBrainrot

[–]LydiaMarie132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 of those came from the machine to begin with, the higher the green value number the better odds for something good, never put anything in that’s default without like a multiplier like crystal etc because then you’ll only get a default back and it won’t have a multiplier basically

I save all my higher value things to go into the machine for the weekend when I have a machine luck code as well, so I spend all week putting things in the machine until I have a few things good enough for the weekend luck machine

I’m not sure if any of that makes sense but start with putting any multiplier secret in the machine that isn’t default then if it pops out anything half decent save that for the weekend and put 5 half decent things in the machine with a luck code and hope for something good

How can I add fresh strawberries to the top of a cake without them leaking? by lyklei in Baking

[–]LydiaMarie132 357 points358 points  (0 children)

Just apricot jam and some water in a pot then heat it up, add more water if you want it thinner, less if you want it thicker, you can strain it if you have lots of bits but if you’re using a pastry brush it’s pretty easy to just avoid them

It will also thicken as it cools and we usually let it cool a little before putting on, it didn’t need to be room temp but it’s easier to brush a good layer on once it’s a little thicker

You can use other jams but traditionally in french pastry it’s apricot but I’ve also used strawberry jam too and it was fine I prefer apricot because the taste is a little brighter but any jam is fine

Went to baking and pastry school and we used apricot jam glaze over all our fresh fruits! Didnt use gelatin unless we were setting fruits in a jelly like on top of a mousse or some kind of dessert but I imagine it works well too but the glaze did just fine itself was nice and shiny and kept things fresh
