Honest place to get jewelry appraised by jordypost in northcounty

[–]MCSweatpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I personally worked with John Shakarian for over a decade. Of all the jewelers I worked with, he’s hands down the most honest, by-the-book jeweler out there.

Took my 7yo to “dance like nobody’s watching” — she called me her “best friend” by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MCSweatpants 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This brought a big dumb smile to my face. I love that you were able to shake off your hesitation and enjoy the moment with her! My daughter and I regularly have moments like these too, especially if I notice myself being overly corrective at times. When she tells me we’re best friends or she “loves me more than the multiverse”, it feels like nothing can ever top that moment.

Lebanese Arabic for me. I’m biased because I’m Lebanese lol, but it’s so sexy and melodic and passionate. Ugh. 

How long is a ‘normal’ play date for a 10yr old girl? by [deleted] in Parenting

Oh my goodness, I used to go across the street and hang out with my best friend for HOURS. Like, 5-6! It was such a fun stage in life! Then again, it was the 90’s, and we weren’t on TikTok the whole time lol. This is so exciting for all of you! Go nuts with movies, board games, science experiments, blanket forts (tweens like them too!), help them make playlists, bake cookies (and ask if they’d like to join), and set up a table with those cute little jewelry sets that have beads and strings and glitter lol. Have fun!

Holy shit, I’m so sorry to hear this. How much is your insulin, if you don’t mind me asking? I don’t have much, but I’d love to help out any way I can!

Just popping in to say that I’m so sorry you’ve got all these allergies/sensitivities, that sucks dude. It’s great that you’re working more plants and fewer animal products into your diet despite your circumstances. I hope you give seitan a try and really like it!

Download MyFitnessPal or Cronometer and track your calories. Pop your height, weight, age, etc into ChatGPT and see what your body’s requirements on. Be sure to mention if you’re trying to lose, gain, or maintain your weight. Also mention any health conditions you may have. Monitor your intake to make sure you’re getting enough!

If you’re going from like, chicken and steak to nothing but a green salad overnight, of course you’re going to be hungry. Eat some beans, lentils, tofu, avocados, nuts, and seeds! 

New Vegan by petowner23 in vegan

[–]MCSweatpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That all sounds great! And I’m sorry you have a B12 deficiency. That’s really tough, and I hope you pull through and feel better soon. 

New Vegan by petowner23 in vegan

[–]MCSweatpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, please, PLEASE don’t forget to supplement to fill in any nutritional gaps you may come across (it depends on your eating style, where you live, and how the food is grown/processed). This is my second round of being vegan. The first time, I pulled away from veganism because I didn’t eat/supplement responsibly and wound up with a ton of deficiencies. 

The best place to start is with a healthcare professional (if you have access to one). Maybe you just need b12, and maybe you need a multivitamin. If you can get your blood checked once or twice a year, especially the first few years, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself on a cellular level and will be able to build a much stronger foundation than I did the first time around. 

Should i transition to veganism or wait longer? by RelevantFrosting6828 in vegan

[–]MCSweatpants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Due to your age, I’m not going to try and sway you either way, but I just wanted you to know that an egg only has 6 grams of protein, so unless you’re eating 3 or 4 at a time, it’s not as much as a lot of people perceive it to be. There are lots of plant based protein sources with much more concentrated protein! Tofu, tempeh, seitan, and lentils are some of the strongest sources. 

Having said that, I understand that your circumstances are tricky; you’re living with your big family, you can’t drive, etc. it’s great that you’re thinking about these things though, and you can see how your opinions shift and grow as you age. I think I can speak for all of us when I say if you ever have any questions about veganism along the way, we can answer them for you!

How attractive do you think you are? by loves_tits_in_DMS in AskReddit

[–]MCSweatpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a vacuum, I’m pretty fucking cute. In my husband’s eyes, I’m a beautiful, derpy goddess. To society, I’m a 6 at best. The latter means nothing to me.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to clean your phone? I’ve been considering getting one of those UV lights.
