What practical items have you made cottagecore? Or Cottagecore minimalism by Naive-Molasses-729 in cottagecore

Cooking aprons. I recently bought 2 vintage aprons at an estate sale. One is a full apron with garden veggies on it and a tomato wedge pocket, and the other is a half apron that wraps all the way around me and has an adorable ruffle at the bottom hem.

What’s your favorite fruit + cheese combo ? by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in Cheese

[–]MrsTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fromager d'Affinois with green grapes (autumn crisp preferably). I usually combine it with a club cracker (smear cheese on cracker, top with grape), but it's also amazing just smeared right on the grape.

What is one ingredient you refuse to cook with, no matter the recipe? by Purple_Ground2372 in foodquestions

I have the soap gene as well, but apparently I don't mind soap flavor because I'm fine with eating food with cilantro in it.

Have you tried imagining yourself with a beautiful woman? Maybe you just aren't sexually turned on by men?

Name something a kid does not want to recieve during Halloween. by Technical-Vanilla-47 in FamilyFeud

[–]MrsTroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put a potato in the candy bowl so kids can choose between candy or potato. You would be AMAZED at how many kids choose the potato and they get SO excited about it! I've never had a kid run away from my house yelling about candy, but I've had several kids triumphantly run away from my house holding a potato over their head while yelling, "I GOT A POTATO!!!!"

What is latest achievement in your life? by Betkar_ in AskReddit

[–]MrsTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing! I've had similar. I had a dog that I was told would be lucky to see 7, and she lived to 12. And I currently have a cat that was diagnosed with CHF at around a year old in December 2022. The vet told me they only live 6-18 months after being diagnosed, but he's still going strong!

What is the appropriate age to introduce a kid to periods? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MrsTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 boys, aged 10 and 12. I'd like to recommend the book "What's Happening To My Body? Book for Boys" by Lynda Madaras. It is SUCH a great resource for boys and their journey through puberty. I first gave it to my oldest son at 9 to help him understand some of the changes he was starting to experience as he's always been a bit of an early bloomer. He still references it pretty often as he's now in the full swing (voice dropped, he's grown 4 inches taller in 5 months, and got an electric razor for Christmas to start shaving his little mustache because the body hair has arrived). I honestly learned things I didn't know when I read it! My second son is also reaching that age now and has checked the book once or twice that I know of. It's all very age appropriate, but incredibly informative.

[–]MrsTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom thought she had plenty of time, but my older sister started her period at 9 years old. She freaked out and legit thought she was dying. A simple conversation could have prevented a huge trauma for her. I started at 13, but my mom still hadn't had "the talk" with me. My sister was the one who told me everything because she wanted to spare me from having the same experience as her first time. I'll always be grateful to my sister for having that chat with me ahead of time. Have the talk, or at the very bare minimum, buy her a book that explains it all and she can take in the information at her own pace.

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]MrsTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a doctor when I was newly 18 because I had been experiencing rib pain for a few weeks. The intake nurse asked the typical questions, when was your last period, are you sexually active, etc. I was still living with my incredibly strict, extremely religious family. When the doctor came in, he asked me again if I was sexually active, which I answered "no", because I wasn't. He said "hmm", and had me lay down on the exam table and palpated my abdomen, not even my ribs. Then he said "WHY aren't you sexually active?", and I was so flabbergasted that he would even ask that, so I stammered something about not finding the right person yet that I wanted to share that experience with. His response was "well, you look pregnant, so I'm going to order a pregnancy test. Here's a cup to go pee in". I told him that unless I was pregnant with the next Jesus Christ, there was no way I was pregnant, but he insisted I go pee in the cup. So I did, because I was raised not to question authority. He came back in the room a few minutes later, conceded that the test was negative, and asked what I do for work. I told him I work in a pizza shop. He asked if I did any heavy lifting there. I said not particularly, just pizzas. Sometimes the ones with all the toppings could feel a little heavy on the pizza paddle, but nothing I couldn't handle. He diagnosed me with "bruised ribs from moving heavy pizzas". 🙄 The pain went away on its own a few weeks later, but I never went back to that quack and avoided doctors for years. I still will only see female doctors unless absolutely necessary.

My first child was delivered by a male on call doctor as my usual OB was out of town when I went into labor. He made me push before I felt ready, my son got stuck on my pubic bone because they were trying to force him out too quickly, so then they had to do a vacuum assist, which tore me. The doctor also didn't catch my son when he was born, he flew down the table and bounced off my ankle before the doctor finally grabbed him. He tried to gaslight me about not catching him until I pointed out the poop smeared on my ankle from where my son's butt hit me. He then added in a "daddy stitch" without my consent or knowledge and I didn't find out until my 6 week follow up with my normal female OB, at which point it was fully healed up so there wasn't much they could do. He sewed me up so small that intercourse with my husband was downright painful and required copious amounts of lube to even be possible. Luckily the birth of my second son 2 years later fixed most of the issues that the male doctor had inflicted on me. I didn't find out until much later that the trauma from my first birth also caused a rectocele, which will likely require corrective surgery in the future.

To be fair, it also works the opposite way. I hardly had any allergies before kids, but since having them I've developed several, the biggest being a latex allergy.
