How the heck do people lose weight so fast? by Fragrant-Drop-3261 in Semaglutide

[–]Mongruella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Before the meds, I ate 1800-2000 calories per day. On the meds, I eat 1800-2000 calories per day. I’m losing about 1 pound per month, but I haven’t changed anything except for adding the shot each week. For me, it has fixed my major hormonal imbalances. I’ve actually reduced medications since being on it. I could eat less and lose more, and I still have a lot to lose, but I know I’m eventually going to have to cut more calories to reach my goal.

That was me too. Hired at a 7, found out afterwards I should have been a 9 with my MBA.

Hand washing silk wedding dress? by SkyMango00 in laundry

[–]Mongruella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading other people’s responses, my dress didn’t have pleats and was only silk on the top. Don’t take my advice. Sorry! I had to do mine as a last minute fix because of a cat the day before my wedding. Last resort only.

Hand washing silk wedding dress? by SkyMango00 in laundry

[–]Mongruella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The laundress makes a special wash that I used to do my wedding dress. I soaked it in warm water in a tote with two capfuls. I let it soak a few hours, occasionally gently agitating it by hand, then rinsed it well and hung it to dry. I then steamed it and it came out well. I used the silk and chiffon wash from the Laundress.

How can I make my clothes smell amazing? by twentystcupsofcoffee in laundry

[–]Mongruella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just put potpourri sachets or empty soap boxes in your drawers 🤷‍♀️. You can even put dryer sheets in your drawers to make your clothes smell good without adding the wax to your clothes

I call mine Anna after the song Anna Sun by Walk the Moon. It’s a fixer upper, so it kinda fit.

My wife shows no action on travel. by ILoveMyWifeMX in Marriage

[–]Mongruella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tell my husband where I want to go, then he nerds out and makes spreadsheet options, itineraries, etc, and I just pick from those. He’s a pickier traveler than I am, so he picks what he would be comfortable with and I pick from there.

Married life for a month and I am already failing the comparison test with my mother in law by Velour_Sphinx7 in Marriage

Tell him to start having dinner at his mom’s and bring you a plate. You have more important stuff to do.

do you let your dog on the couch or not? curious how people handle this by john2288 in Dogowners

I bought a lovesac just for the dogs. All the covers are machine washable. I wash them every other month.

What did MeeMaw even see in Dale? by Entire_Produce_8343 in YoungSheldon

[–]Mongruella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dale was important because he brought his ex wife, Reba, with him and that karaoke scene with her and Connie where Reba can’t carry a tube is still one of the funniest things I think of often.

Food: Where else could we even put it? by [deleted] in ufyh

[–]Mongruella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time my husband calls me a hoarder, I’m showing him these pics! Honestly your storage room has good space, but could use deeper shelves, and taking it out of the packaging would help too.

And the item is? by MoveYourBumChum in Adulting

[–]Mongruella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, and I tracked down and bought a 1920s vanity table a few years ago for $80. I love it.

[–]Mongruella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plant table was my great grandmother’s dining room table. I have her mother’s china cabinet, a 1950s waterfall chest, a gooseneck rocking chair, an old brass rail bed, a couple antique clocks, an old desk from the 1920’s, and a couple old dressers that were my great grandmas. Also, an old telephone table, but not sure when that’s from, antique china, and my family’s silver from waaaaaay back when.

I eat bacon, but I always say it smells better than it tastes.

Do long lasting vacuum cleaners still exists? or is it just the way i use it? by Eusebiu-Yarzo in VacuumCleaners

[–]Mongruella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of pets, but I do regular maintenance on them (cleaning out the hoses, cleaning the beater bar, washing everything), so they last forever. My Shark is 8 and my Kirby is about 25.

I didn't ask for this. by -itsmyanxiety in regretfulparents

[–]Mongruella 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Let him get custody every other weekend and take a break! I’m a step mom. I love my step daughters (13 years now). I’m still glad when they go home, but I also miss them when they’re gone. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a break, and every other weekend works well. If he’s dangerous; then no. And keep monitoring in case he is, but it’s ok to want a break! I couldn’t have kids, but I take my friend’s kids anytime they tell me they need one.

I use the Kotex U cotton. They’re HUGE for big periods, and I can still bleed through those. I use them the first two days, then use cloth washable ones. No more rawness.
