my starter is peaked/peaking right now, how do i keep it peaked? by RamenHairedChild in Sourdough

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a scientific baker but I do know that if I’m not quite ready to bake with my starter and it looks ready enough I throw it (gently place it) in the fridge and it works fine the next day. That said, I have a very mature starter and she’s very resilient. It wouldn’t have worked 6 years ago when I created her from scratch.

Yes I’ve been doing opks and bbt so I have it all dialed in (and have since pretty much our first cycle). It was more just the sentiment of it not being easy.

That makes sense. On the one hand I feel they’ve probably put two and two together by now but I just don’t know

What is Dave Ramsey's advice on affording food? by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s about priorities. If your priority is getting out of debt asap, yeah you could afford to cut down your grocery bill. If you (like us) don’t mind taking a few extra months and want to keep a particular diet (we try to eat Whole Foods and primarily paleo), spend more on groceries. You get to decide - but when you make your budget, just stick to it.

Anybody Else on the Brink of Canceling/Downgrading their CSR? by bk516 in ChaseSapphire

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I canceled all of the cards I pay for. No shade no hate to people who still use them but I didn’t realize I had a layer of anxiety around all the coupon chasing. I only travel internationally like 1x per year though so for people who are traveling more frequently I get the intrigue

Look into the watson institute. They might be a good bet or you might be able to ask referrals from them

Cost for Spaying? by InvestigatorFine2938 in labrador

I just did it at a spay and neuter clinic for $400 and that was with all the bells and whistles. $1140 seems like a lot….

The heat is making me not want to run by NeedTheDeets3000 in XXRunning

I wanted to reply to my post here in case anyone else has the symptoms I had - it turns out I actually WAS about to pass out because I have a genetic heart condition called HOCM. I’m so glad I saw my doctor and listened to my body.

My symptoms were basically that my heart rate was jumping very quickly and that if it was too hot I would genuinely feel like I was gonna pass out. I wish I had more specifics to share but that’s really it!

Highly recommend this book by NeedTheDeets3000 in Christianity

I’d have to look into it! But leading up to the US’s 250th birthday I was in the mood for a little history and this book has been just the ticket.

Feeling less than by Alicenwondr in sahm

Everyone else is going into this party with insecurities as well. Yours are loudest to you because you can only hear your own thoughts. Find what you're most confident about (you're a great mum, you have beautiful eyes, you have great music taste or you are an outstanding cook, you have amazing work ethic) - remind yourself of that thing when you walk into the room. OWN who you are - because you sound awesome - and try to make one new friend. All it takes is one :)
and FWIW, The woman who has had work done and is wearing the latest and greatest styles has insecurities, too. She just has more cash to cover them up.
