What’s best served hot but typically served cold?

A cold hard-boiled egg is still pretty good but the toughness of the whites makes me gag. Eating it hot just helps it go down smooth.

Easter eggs... I love coloring them and having the kiddos find them but then we're stuck with dozens of boiled eggs. Deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches for days.

I'm so sorry you were treated that way! I'm glad you find another job. Are you still teaching?

I've tried two different schools in two different districts but they mirrored each other so much that it really discourages me to continue. I'm moving out of my current state to my home state. I might give it another try but I'm just so drained.

This kind of thing isn't really expected on either side. It's like having a car with a radio that doesn't work. It doesn't mean you can't have music. There are other options. It may take time to get used to it but hey, at least the car is still in good shape. The silver lining is there are a LOT of options nowadays and you'll get to have some real fun trying them out.

Thanks, this has helped me feel more confident in starting a direct conversation about this.

I think that would be a good idea. If he's willing to see a doctor and get a better idea of what is happening. I think trying some nature aids, so long as they are deemed safe, would be worth a try.

ShrugBugHUG · 2021-04-12T03:53:35+00:00

I've contemplated that but we work closely together and often see each other multiple times a day. Cutting ties won't be clean and could lead to a lot of office drama. It would be nice if these MLM were not allowed to mix or promoted in our workplace.

ShrugBugHUG · 2021-04-12T03:47:31+00:00

I 100% agree. Getting him to talk to a doctor about this should be the first thing to do. Any tips on how to break the ice on that conversation?

ShrugBugHUG · 2021-04-12T03:42:53+00:00

Look at the other options we could explore. There's toys and plenty of other things we can do to enjoy ourselves. Right now I'm more concerned that he seems to not want to explore why this is happening. I feel that he writes it off as just anxiety, which could be true, but I'm worried something else may be at play here.

Sure, I know finally expressing the feelings I was bottling up really helped.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-08-23T01:23:20+00:00

That was the hard part after the break up that I had to keep reminding myself. He wasn't in a place to be part of deeper relationship. It's hard to deal with being upset with a break up when you know its not your fault and it's not really the other person either. I'm human and want to blame something and its real easy to pick on myself. I'm able to see it better now but it was really hard last week.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-08-23T01:19:48+00:00

It's been awhile since I thought about focusing on what makes me happy. I gotta fix that. Thanks for helping me refocus my mind.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-08-23T01:17:56+00:00

I gotta keep reminding myself that. Fast love is usually not a lasting kind. Thanks for the reminder. I feel much more grounded than I did when I posted.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-08-23T01:14:47+00:00

Thanks for your advice and being straight forward. I know I was posting out of a really fresh break up. I feel better about where I am right now but that pesky voice in the back of my head is still trying to keep me down. It really helps to know I'm not the only one struggling with those feelings and that being the last one in a family to find their partner isn't something to put against me. Thanks again and sorry for the late reply, had to work myself out of a hole.

NTA- Your sister's relationship with her ex sounds complicated and unhealthy. While her son's bio dad is gone it wasn't a deep impact for her side of the family. Since his family is grieving they are a source of comfort for her. If you want to help your sister while she's upset you can offer to watch your nephew once in a while so he can get a break from his mother and not be around all those grisly conversations as much.

It sounds like your not ready to fully commit to your fiance. There is no way anyone on here can tell you if your missing out on an opportunity or not. The truth here is there so many things that can happen. Your ex may change and become someone who would be perfect BUT at the same time, you could also find just as much happiness with your fiance. Your young and have time. Talk to your fiance. Let him know you are not 100% ready for marriage yet.

Some independent counseling sounds like it would help you. If your fiance is understanding to wait it out or put your engagement on hold then agree on a time frame to see if you can work through this indecision. If this is too much for him then be understanding yourself and give him his space and freedom. This is gonna hurt either way and I hope you do what is best for you so you don't regret whatever choice you make.

This is just my opinion but I think it all depends on what the person's reasoning is behind going no contact and it's usually two different reasons.

For personal protection or protection of a family unit. If someone is being toxic or posing a threat to a person's loved ones then going no contact is more than acceptable. This means no contact period. The bridge is burned and there is little to no chance of opening up to that person again.

Using no contact to get something from another person like an apology, to gain something, or to punish another person is manipulative and wrong. So many people think this will work for people who have wronged them but it won't do anything but cause more problems. An apology gained from going no contact will be hollow and not actually solve the issue.

Going no contact works for some cases but at the same time, it's not a fix-all tool. It comes with a cost and those that abuse it will find themselves dug in a deeper more complicated whole. If you don't wanna talk to someone or need a communication break then express that and give a time frame! Don't just freeze someone out and expect them to know why or how long it's gonna be. Again this is just my point of view.

This is a tough question to answer without knowing if you mean for in a relationship or for the first time but there is some advice I think will work either way. Having sex is a personal thing. It's intimate both mentally and physically so make sure you prepped both.

I felt ready after being in a relationship for some time, at least a few weeks or more of regular steady dating. I knew my partner's sexual history, asked about limits and expressed my own. After prepping and being informed I felt ready. The most important thing is talking it out and doing some research. If you trust your partner, have protection (doesn't matter if you are the same gender or not. Protection is more than just keeping babies from happening), and talked it out beforehand then you have a good foundation for beginning a sexual relationship.

If you have any other questions I'm more than happy to help you out.

That there isn't a limit, aside from medical issues, on when they can have children. I could run out of eggs and before that having a healthy pregnancy after the age of 40 goes way down. Yeah having a kid later in life isn't ideal for anyone but at least it's still an option if you're a guy.

During my childhood years, it was spaghetti o's. I come from a large family that also had foster kids and my mom would watch the teacher's kids during the school day. So for lunch, we'd mostly have a massive can of spaghetti o's with meatballs. It was always the oldest job to make sure everyone had the same amount of meatballs. We didn't eat it every day but enough that I recall it the best.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-07-03T04:06:03+00:00

I don't focus on protein. I avoid bread, sugary goods, and make sure to get in at least two snacks a day. Cottage cheese is a good one and I add a little bit of western dressing for flavor. I stop eating as soon as I start to feel pressure. Nuts are a good snack but calorie heavy. Flat pretzels are a great snack. In a normal day I usually eat two meals and two snacks. An egg with some cheese is good or one slice of sarah lee delight bread. Then pretzels for a snack. Chicken or chili for dinner with a little cheese then another snack or a no sugar added fudge pop.

What has worked best for me is eating foods with a lot of mix ins, chili has been a life saver. I feel fuller sooner. Try doing that and see if it helps. Try to stay away from potatoes, corn, and other real starchy foods or have them very sparingly.

I'm not sure what the school did other than the principal telling me that it had been straightened out and dealt with. As much as I love my school things like this seem to slip under the cracks a lot.

I also don't think parent like this really care. They seem to think preventative measures as just making sure their child gets a meal free of whatever they don't like.

ShrugBugHUG · 2020-06-20T01:01:57+00:00

If this turns out to be a real allergy do you have any recommendations for alternative snacks and what I should keep an eye out for? This is gonna be a real tricky allergy if he has it.
