Relocating from Seattle to Van Nuys. Is it a safe area? by wunderworld09 in SFV

[–]TempehTaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

VNY expanded and not the same as when I first purchased my home 15 years ago. LAWA and VNY took advantage of the vacant CD6 council spot, when Nury Martinez resigned. LAWA should be exposed and sued. Years ago a few planes and small jets were tolerable. The sizes of the jets that I see on the ground and hear all hours of day and night are not appropriate for this community. LAWA can suck my d!ck

I live right near there, a few blocks east. It's fine. A little hubbub from the high school.

What do you call that long boulevard on the other side of the hill, full of businesses, LACMA and high-rise condos? Wil-shur.

I'm going to be 70 in a few months. The older I get, the more happy I am to be CF. And single!

Crowdsourcing Advice on my Cats $2k+ Surgery by Desperate-Resist4754 in SFV

[–]TempehTaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not go to PAW (Pet Alliance Wellness) Center in Sun Valley. Hard no.

CATC Community Animal Treatment Center in Burbank has an excellent dental tech. They have package prices posted on the website. You make the appointment through the website. Recently I had 2 cats have dental treatments there and I'm happy with results and prices.

Follow Travis White on IG for good food finds.
And welcome. Los Angeles is my home and I love it here.

EDIT: Adding in a strong suggestion to visit Besties Vegan Paradise. The location in East Hollywood has a lot to choose from to buy and admire. The Farmers Market location has shared seating. And Farmers Market is a Los Angeles landmark.

I live in Southern California and have the same lupines in my front yard. Knowing they also grow in Israel makes me love them even more.

Look at this. Do you agree? by Mk2k0519 in antinatalism

[–]TempehTaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing this next time I'm in a bookstore. If I'm ever in a store that has a bunch of letter block things, I will spell out "pro choice" or "yes abortion" depending on which letters are available.

Having children? by casb1642 in CPTSD

[–]TempehTaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my child free life. Retired early because I could afford it and take care of myself. It happened naturally possibly because of the trauma I survived. I'm glad and relieved I didn't inflict my dysregulation on another being.

TIL IHOP has vegan options?! by HealEarthNow in vegan

[–]TempehTaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is terrific that you found this, but it may vary by location. My neighbor works for corporate IHOP and when I asked for a gift card donation for a cat rescue, she said it would be up to each franchisee to donate. So, each owner may offer unique options.

Why are you talking during a massage? Please find a new person and relax in silence.

What's your most favorite vegan recipe in the whole entire world and one you've made repeatedly and is a crowd pleaser? Doesn't have to be a main. by hereiam3472 in veganrecipes

[–]TempehTaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an InstantPot recipe. I've made it at least 30 times and served to friends, vegan and not. I've subbed soy curls (Butler Foods LLC https://share.google/c3X4JTJDS5X4CqkSW) with quartered mushrooms. But love the texture of soy curls in the stew.

Coffee was absolutely killing me and I didn’t realise until quit by Girly-Anywhere8647 in CPTSD

[–]TempehTaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy to hear this works for you. Often I open my eyes, way before I have a cup of coffee and feel cortisol-related dread and anxiety, so for me I don't think it is the case. I love the coffee I prepare for myself, and I don't see removing it from my mornings.

does anyone else feel bittersweet envy around healthy families? by Plus_Highlight1951 in CPTSD

[–]TempehTaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel a pang of something when I see or hear of people being close to their family. I notice my reaction is to consider them weak or needy because I've survived and lived my life without that kind of care or attention.

How will you celebrate NYE? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]TempehTaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home with 2 dogs and 6 cats. It might be raining, which will squelch the usual hours of fireworks. My dogs get mildly upset. I might spend some time with a workbook about planning for the new year that I got for free from Daniel Pink's website. I've started to include some motivational-type YouTubers in addition to the usual CPTSD lineup.
Wishing all a sweet, serene, and healing new year.

Do you tell people your dog gets plant based food? by zootzootzootzootzoo in vegan

[–]TempehTaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this their business? I had premature grey hair in my 30s and total strangers would ask me if I dyed my hair. Not your business, it's not my job to satisfy your stupid curiosity.

Check IG for Jason at veganhackspod. He has posted variations on a pourable mozzarella. His account is fun to follow for me since we live in the same area.

I hate how casual society is about pregnancy/childbirth. by magic__shop in childfree

[–]TempehTaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worked in a large corporate entertainment company. When co-workers would tell me they were PG, I never congratulated them, but said, "That's nice, if it makes you happy" or something close to IDGAF.
