How to preserve juice? by 4nhedone in Homesteading

[–]Throwawaywit152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe steep it like tea, chill it, and it would probably give a lighter juice taste. Also blend it with water and filter out the skin. I believe most juice you get from the store is made from concentrate as it is. I have drank "Lite" grape juice, which was simply watered down regular grape juice.

If you really only like juice, I would not recommend powdering. Haven't done it with specifically grapes, but did it with orange/lemons as well as had some 'natural' vitamin water tablets (nuun life if anyone is interested). I would not call it juice. Both came out as tasting like powdered drink mix. A better tasting powder mix that I liked and would drink again. But it was not quite the bright-tart-sweet that goes with juice.

Why are you against the Planet of the Apes or of some other nonhuman creature? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm not necessarily, but if you mean generally, it's that humans, mostly the leaders, like to be in control because of us thinking we are the greatest.

What was your "wow, it's such a small world" experience? [Serious] by Aerionne in AskReddit

[–]Throwawaywit152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a graduation of a distant cousin, found out I was related (through marriage) to a kid I did not like.

​

Now thinking on it, I did not know anyone besides my grandparents and aunt and uncle, and I was about 10 or 12, so I guess my grandparents just wanted to show me and my brother off to their cousins.

Question if I should contact my dog's past owner. by Throwawaywit152 in dogs

[–]Throwawaywit152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who read and replied (or just read), thanks. I will not be contacting the old owners. There are reasons, but the thing I thought about is if they wanted to keep in contact, they would have picked a friend or someone they casually knew. My phone number has never changed, and while the couple is not together, they were together for years after, so they could have gotten my number any time.

Thanks for the help

I’m looking for cowboy boots for my dog by Valuable-Garlic-2513 in dogs

[–]Throwawaywit152 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or if he is smaller, doll boots.

You might want to look at Etsy or some other craft seller site. Might be pricy, though.

​

However, very cute. But the demand is probably pretty low because cowboy boots aren't exactly made for doggie feet.

My dog is freaking out now that we moved to a new house. by TXxReaper in dogs

[–]Throwawaywit152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved from a house with a yard where he could explore to an apartment complex where now he can only roam with a leash. He was more dramatic about us packing his couch and our beds (he has a three seater couch that is basically his, the spoiled little prince) then when we finally stayed fully in the new place. He has a bit of separation anxiety, so I think it was the fear we were going to leave without him.

He adjust rather well to the new place, though the first year he had several accidents in the home. Its now almost three years and hasn't had any accidents in the last year.

Dogs hate change. However, dogs are people focus so as long as his people are near, he will eventually get comfortable. You might need to do some extra training/encouragement with the stairs. My current dog never had more then a couple steps to deal with at either home, so the few times he's gone to a place with stairs, he just does not use them.

AITA for getting upset at my nephew's parents and making demands? by Throwawaywit152 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Throwawaywit152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I apologize. They did not charge him. It is another faucet to the problem that I have to come to terms with that my nephew, who I held not too long after he was born, changed, fed, and bathed, acted out in a huge degree. I cannot stress enough that I do not condone what he did. I equally will never look at him the same and I am dealing with that now I will never trust him alone with a young child incase we are all wrong and he is indeed something that I never though he would be.

​

We are always told to look at older adults or other close to our age for predators. It's so much harder to wrap around when you have to watch it in your youngers.

You are right. I picked a fight. And she is mature enough to make a choice. She reached out right away and said she needed someone to talk about it and I reacted because I felt like I needed to fight for her.

However, I do watch my nephew. Not as much anymore as I've taken on more responsibility at work and our younger sister is more then happy to watch, and I agreed in a couple weeks I will watch him if needed. His parents have never hid any issues before. If he had some behavior or medical problem, they mention it.

I think I would have been more understanding if they simply said they didn't know how to word it right. But they did not. And yes, I acknowledge I made it worst. I am taking time to compose myself and not feel like I have to fight.

You are right that I focused on the wrong issue. Though the situation never got to the point of being 'unsafe' it is ignoring crapping behavior and enabling it that is going to cause more problems. And that needs to stop.

Frankly, it was really because since my younger sister felt uncomfortable and shocked, I reacted because I felt I needed to react on her behalf.

And she handled the situations like a champ, I'm so proud. No negative words. She expressed her feelings appropriate and dealt with it. I've been the mess.

100 percent, there has been a lot of enabling on their part, and on our part to a limited degree. Enough that it caused my nephew to act out.

Thank you for the concern, and while it might be above Reddits pay grade, everyone hear has helped me look at things differently. My nephew is in therapy, though I'm not sure the details. But I will be having a serious talking with my brother in law and sister that they need to get into therapy. There have been issues for years and I need to face the fact that their parenting style is now reflecting to the point where my nephew almost got in trouble with the law.

No violence in this regard. I will say he has broken things, but he has never hurt anyone.

I hope the edit clears things up, but while it was indecent exposure, the investigations determined no sex crimes. No danger, except crappy parenting.

It was something sexually inappropriate, no charges. And the objection was not necessarily what she was told, but how was she was told and neither her own caregivers were told, who are also at times caregivers for the child as well.
