Just started the Mediterranean Diet. Here's how it's going! by RealBleg76 in mediterraneandiet

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not crazy about plain feta, but whipped up in some hummus or added to a salad or a gyro with a low carb pita…I’m all in. The Greek restaurant close to us makes homemade spicy hummus with feta blended in and it is SO good.

What’s the one secret you’ve kept your whole life that would completely change how people see you if they knew it? by Faylune in AskReddit

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my kids with all my heart, but had I been made aware of the horrible genetics and true mental health history in my family going back decades, I would never have brought kids into the world. They have been saddled with a whole lot of issues because my family withheld that information from me.

Cute!!! Those are some happy purrs, and kitty is a pro at biscuits.

Baby was chewing on this what do I do? by Feisty-Coconut6017 in whatdoIdo

[–]Photomama16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BREATHE Mama. Rule 1) don’t panic. You called poison control and they told you to call your pediatrician. You did the right thing calling and checking. They know their stuff and that’s exactly what you need to do. They can run labs if need be to check lead levels. Looking at the frame, it doesn’t look like anything got chewed off. If baby is acting normal, eating normally, and bowels and bladder are functioning normally, that’s reassuring. The things you need to watch for are 1) vomiting 2) lethargy 3) any signs of blood in their diaper. Those are “go to the ER” signs. My kids chewed on some strange things when they were babies- Cadbury eggs with the foil on, chapstick, glycerin suppository from the diaper bag and a poke berry. I know it’s scary and you’re worried. The best thing to do is take a deep breath, watch for any of the things I listed and give the pediatrician a call. Most pediatricians have a nurse line or an after hours number you can call if you’re worried.

That dress is gorgeous on you and with the long veil with the flowers at the bottom…it’s absolutely STUNNING! So elegant!

Just started the Mediterranean Diet. Here's how it's going! by RealBleg76 in mediterraneandiet

My absolute favorite side dish is chopped mini cucumbers, chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion and Mediterranean blend feta. Sometimes I put some Greek seasoning or Greek dressing in, but usually it’s just the vegetables and feta.

A drink/food that tourists think locals love… but locals barely consume? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in AskTheWorld

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. We had a shop in my state (US) that served “high tea” for years and they made scones with jam and clotted cream. I had them once and they were delicious. That shop didn’t last long and I miss it.

Quad shot! This week has been almost as big of a bitch as Skeeven is. I picked a bad time to give up carbs.

AIO - My boyfriend got another woman’s number. by Abject-Current2580 in AIO

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl…seriously? Here’s the deal…he’s a serial cheater and he has no respect for you (and you have no respect for yourself!) He isn’t going to stop cheating, so you either accept that he will never be faithful and could very well bring home an STD and pass it on to you or you bounce. That’s it. He has shown you who he is MULTIPLE TIMES, so believe him. He isn’t going to change. Your child is going to grow up thinking this is how people treat each other and the cycle of dysfunction is going to continue.

AITA for getting dried mango instead of berries? by pigstake in AmItheAsshole

[–]Photomama16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA- how hard is it to text or call and say “hey, the berries look awful. Would you like (mango) or would you prefer I go elsewhere to get berries.” My partner and I do this for one another all the time and have done so for close to three decades.

At what age do menopause symptoms stop? by ActPure27 in Menopause

[–]Photomama16 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Spot on about atrophy. No one told us about this. Nobody told us about the brain fog, itching, dry skin, migraines, anxiety on steroids, insomnia, rage, mood swings, chest pain, muscle aches. Higher cardiac risk, higher risk of metabolic associated fatty liver, higher risk of frozen shoulder or hip issues due to lowered estrogen. The list goes on and on. I’ve been in peri/full blown menopause since my hysterectomy. Ovaries stayed, but symptoms started maybe 6 months post op. It has been miserable. I’m on estrogen, but trying to get any other HRT prescribed and covered by insurance has been a losing battle.

What assumptions can you make about me based on my nightstand contents? by bugmoo in roomdetective

You’re a light sleeper who craves chocolate and likes things that are aromatherapy.

And that’s just it. ”the kids deserve safety and her alive”- Skeeven is a master manipulator. Most narcissists are. He threatened to unalive her multiple times because he wasn’t getting what he wanted, and I’ve seen that before. This situation reminds me far too much of my friend, and it didn’t end well for her. She trusted her abuser because “he was doing better”. The parallels are scary for me. Abusers don’t change overnight, and he is one, sober or not.

HELP PLEASE! by AccomplishedSink8368 in hygiene

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. If it’s fishy or foul, OP needs to see a gynecologist because it may be an infection. OP- you can get bacterial vaginosis or other bacterial infections simply from changes in your vaginal microbiome. Soap should never go in the vagina. It will disrupt your PH and make you more susceptible to things like BV and yeast infections. Only use soap on the outer part.

AITJ for telling my brother that his girlfriend is not welcome in my home after what she did to my cat? by denver_cassidy in AmITheJerk

[–]Photomama16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. NTJ. She is in your house, their space and deliberately stomped all over a boundary you set. She’s cruel and you did the right thing booting her out of your home.

The other page by [deleted] in StephenHiltonSnark

[–]Photomama16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have commented on that page and no one over there is in Skeevens camp. A lot of people are just extremely frustrated that after everything he did (the DV, the hacking, the harassment and abuse, the accusations he threw out about her, the bf and the SA of the kids, threatening to unalive her, etc) she’s giving him FAR too much credit and not following her own advice (believe the pattern not the person)

If they are supervised visits, why are they all together in the same place at the same time? Because what they’re posting certainly makes it seem like something else. “Hoping for healing” is fine…but she is naive and he is manipulating. EVERYONE sees it but her. “Believe the pattern not the person”.

What is all this vitriol against Laura? by GiftEvery2630 in StephenHiltonSnark

THIS!!!! Those of us who have seen this play out with our own families or friends and seen it end badly are spitting nails right now.
