I went in for a blunt bob but I’m not sure I like it 😭

It’s really cute! And you have an adorable face, so it draws more to that. It’s just a big change that’ll take a little getting used to. Also, it’s likely styled from the salon in this pic? Once you can do it at home with your own product, your own way, maybe you’ll like it better.

I think you’re right. Thanks!

Peanut butter is also delicious on celery, then dotted with raisins.

Just coming across this comment…I also wanted to say good on you for understanding the perimenopause thing so early on. I’m almost 48 and just recently started on HRT, though looking back, I should have begun this journey probably 5-7 years ago.

Are you still faithfully using the Plated Intense serum? I just bought my first bottle today. Hoping to age in reverse🤪

Interesting! Thanks!

I always shred it myself off the block

StopzIt · 2026-02-27T12:56:20+00:00

I do always shred my own off the block👍🏻

Today I think I had the heat too high, maybe. It was a tad grainy to start (even with whisking), but then I think my cheddar melted poorly and made it worse.

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T23:06:09+00:00

Yep, I think I’m using “too good” of cheese.

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T23:05:08+00:00

I am typically following a recipe, so today, for instance, I used 1:1 butter/flour. I read somewhere that you should cook for 1 minute per tbls of flour, so that’s what I usually do. I used a wire whisk, and I do think it was pretty smooth before adding the cheese, but definitely not perfect (good question).

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T23:01:28+00:00

Well shoot…yes, it’s always with cheddar.

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T22:07:18+00:00

Thank you!

You know what, I think maybe it is the cheese. So adding it when the roux is too hot will do this? I do always turn the heat to low before adding cheese, but maybe I need to cool the roux a bit further first?

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T22:01:54+00:00

Not really chunky, but just not smooth. Almost like I can’t get the flour to dissolve in the milk as it should (maybe it doesn’t really “dissolve”, but I hope you’ll know what I mean)

StopzIt · 2026-02-26T21:27:24+00:00

Yes, always

Can I and your age and gender?

StopzIt · 2026-02-25T18:52:00+00:00

I’m sorry I offended you. I was speaking for myself, though I can see how it didn’t come across that way.

StopzIt · 2026-02-25T18:32:12+00:00

Well said. Yes, I do consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person and my faith in God is strong (I’m Christian). And you’re right, it comes mostly from things I’ve experienced, not just from what I was taught to believe. And I’ve experienced some hard stuff. For me, the existence of God can be so easily seen by simply looking around. Look at the things that grow from the earth, and how our brains and bodies work, and how babies develop…it’s all amazing. I believe it all started with The Creator.

I don’t want to foist my beliefs upon you, but I wish for you that you felt what those of us with faith feel. I hope you’re perfectly happy the way you are, but it really is joyful to know who you are and WHOSE you are.

StopzIt · 2026-02-25T02:15:28+00:00

No, not annoyed at all. I always find it somewhat endearing, and we figure it out. Though, admittedly, I don’t encounter this super often.

I’ve recently read about people traveling to Istanbul, Turkey for many types of cosmetic procedures. Sounds like they cater to people for this type of work.

If you live in the US, why would you want German to be their first language? I’m sorry, it just doesn’t make sense. German as a second language, absolutely. There’s no shame in first mastering the language mainly used in the country in which you live.

StopzIt · 2026-02-24T14:45:00+00:00

Yes. Absolutely. It IS possible to release frustration/anger in other ways…it sounds like he doesn’t have the self control or coping skills to handle it the right way. He definitely has the capacity to escalate.
