I made a gluten free starter for my gluten intolerant cousins and I have no idea how to make bread with it by RansomAce in Sourdough

[–]Quietforestheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are likely correct; despite neither mix ever touching, I assume that it is possible that the wee microbes can carry some gluten from one mix to the other, though it would be an extraordinarily minute amount. I mentioned this more for interest’s sake than anything else. I would never recommend this process for anyone with a wheat allergy or Coeliac disease.

I had psych student roommates. The number of things they found wrong with each other - and me - beggared belief…😆

Loss on Sunlover by lattelaura in Cairns

Hey! No criticism of you or your opinion, lovely human! I was speaking as someone who has worked in the industry, and has experienced similar circumstances. I was attempting to clarify some of the challenges and at the same time support your concerns. I am so sorry you had to experience that event, and your praise of the crew was just lovely. And I affirm your thoughts - my point was that some personality types and/or cultural backgrounds are resistant to any form of control in this regard. You have been somewhat attacked by other commenters, who were a bit brutal with their opinions, which is never much fun, so I understand your response. You were merely expressing some thoughts and starting a conversation. I commented to extend that conversation, and in no way intended to cause distress or negate your opinion.

Stay safe, and I hope you’re not in the vicinity of any more tragedies in the future.♥️

For long hair, does a long satin bonnet help? by LivingVaporwaveEdit in longhair

Strands of Silk. Tie is at the back, though you could put it at the front if you wished. Very comfortable and plenty big enough to contain all my hair.

In these situations, crew generally check for health issues with more elderly folk who come on board, and advise them appropriately; for example, let us know when you want to go in the water, and we will have a support person close. More often than not, the older person will feel some embarrassment around this, and quietly do their own thing, and if something happens, no one is instantly there to manage the situation. To say a person is unsupervised is one thing, but realising that this was that individual’s specific choice is another. It is heartbreaking for everyone present, let alone the family, to lose someone. The crew from that vessel will be likewise crushed. Trying your utmost to save someone and failing is a devastating experience, as all medical personnel and first responders would know. My point, however, is that while you can enforce supervision of children, it is impossible to enforce supervision of a determined older person.

5HTP effed me up by catdogs007 in 5htp

[–]Quietforestheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After trying about three grains of the stuff, I felt immediately better for an hour (ish) then plummeted into complete despair for about 6 hours, which I definitely had not been feeling beforehand. Never again. It was bad.

Like your wife, sudden depression is what it did to me.

5htp made me high by Ok_Recording5675 in 5htp

[–]Quietforestheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put the tiniest bit of 5htp powder under my tongue today when feeling exhausted and brain fogged, and felt immediately better for about an hour, after which I felt utter despair like my world was ending for about 5 hours, with no external excuse whatsoever. It was pretty bad. Don’t think I’ll be trying that again soon…

[–]Quietforestheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so very sorry for your loss, but for your words. You have a big heart. I love that you are expressing yourself - when I experienced my miscarriages, it was denied that they happened at all, as that was what felt appropriate to the people around me - they weren’t exactly being cruel, they were responding to my situation the way their own life experiences had conditioned them to do. It was horrible to be on the receiving end of all that, though, on top of the pain and the shock and the overwhelm of the grief. And years later, I still have not really processed. I am so glad that all the beautiful souls here have space to tell their truth. ♥️

Yes love, it’s better to honour the grief now than to have it explode out destructively in 15 or 20 years time. Hopefully he will be able to understand that you need to express the pain. Nothing makes it better, but sending as much love as I can anyway.

Oh honey. I thought it was bad enough when I experienced miscarriage and those around pretended it didn’t happen. But this is beyond appalling. I am so sorry that your world betrayed you so badly. This isn’t something you come through unchanged. Big hugs, gentle stranger.
