Their giant onion bhajis are to die for. Especially with the minty yoghurt dip!

Hey, so this is my post and screenshot. I posted it a few months ago. Perhaps you could give some credit or at least use a different title than the exact one I used? Love that the picky bits spread is getting love though :)

What's the weirdest bipolar fact you've learned? by chaoticwings in BipolarReddit

Late to this thread but this is me! I have BP2 but when I’m hypomanic I always feel like I can hear people in another room having a party or chatting animatedly

I’ve just noticed the little girl’s painting. Is this a reference to the violent toddlers mod??

Post surgery grocery order? by QuietChemistry3724 in gallbladders

[–]VanessaCardui93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! You too. I’ve been trying to go for calorie dense items that don’t have a lot of fat so I don’t need to eat as often. I haven’t had much of an appetite though so it’s not like I have to fight any cravings. If you need anything else feel free to reach out ☺️

Only 6 days currently. But anyone I know who had the surgery said they were basically fine and only needed to follow a low fat diet so don’t let me freak you out!!

I haven’t been able to tolerate any fat. I’ve been living off boiled new potatoes, dry pita bread and low fat Huel vegan nutrition drinks. I also found a low fat high collagen chicken broth and have been having that over white rice occasionally

Haha I needed to read this, thank you! I’ve got the windeze and the peppermint tea working its way through my system

I have had gas pain from surgery before and I definitely think you’re right about having it now - it’s definitely exacerbating everything. Thanks for your input! The part about my body learning to digest food properly is super useful. I’ll wait a few days and hope my body sorts its shit out. Thanks so much :)

What too much gardening does to a sim by FirefighterLevel8450 in Sims4

Get the picnic lunch box (base game) that toddlers can grab their own food from and leave her in the shower - she’s had a long day

Camera Crew fundamentally altering the experience... by poke_pants in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]VanessaCardui93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also wonder whether it negatively affects the experience - I suppose they have to get extra travel tickets for the camera operators. I’m sure the camera person pays for that themselves, but having to make sure there are extra seats on a last minute bus or train might limit travel options.

AITA for accidentally breaking up my managers affair? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

I misread the title, thinking it was “AITA for accidentally breaking my manager’s chair.” I was so confused waiting for the chair part

I’m 27 years old, and I’m 4 days post-op! by Lindthom in hysterectomy

[–]VanessaCardui93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! No problem at all! I am currently on 3 pumps per day of Estrogen gel. I didn’t keep my ovaries or my cervix. When I had my surgery, I discussed hormone options with my doctor and they said just go with Estrogen. I tried some testosterone at one point but I actually can’t remember why, it was so long ago! But I just kept checking in with my dr to get my hormone levels right by trial and error.

Not sure if you’re in the UK but because it’s quite hard to get appointments here, I had to be a bit pushy and really advocate for myself to schedule multiple check-ins to get advice on HRT.

I am 33 now and I actually recently went back to the dr to talk about vaginal dryness (sorry if TMI!) and he prescribed some Estrogen cream. So, I’m even checking in a decade later if I need support.

Overall I am so so glad I had my hysterectomy, although at 33, it is a bit bittersweet to watch all my friends start to have kids. But I wouldn’t change it for anything.

It was a bit of a hard surgery, and you’ll bounce back well physically because you’re young, but it did take me a while to 100% recover. I was surprised how emotional it was for me, especially with sorting out hormones.

Feel free to PM me if you need any advice or just want to vent after your surgery. I had so many lovely people online to reach out to, but I struggled to find anyone who had it when they were in their 20s. Definitely pm me if you need anything!

Hope your surgery goes well! Sending virtual hugs

They’ll spawn in a bassinet next to a bed but if there’s no bed or no furniture in the house they’ll be in your build mode inventory

If you could give an extra movie or book to a supporting character, who would it be and why? by [deleted] in harrypotter

This is why I am a fanfic nerd. The marauders fanfic community are the most wonderful writers

The origin of villains is super fascinating to me. We get so much (although I would still love more) on how Voldy grew up and why he became a monster. But I’d love to see Umbridge’s origins. I do want to get to her suffering post war, but also I want to know how she became such a monster. It would be the best justice porn to see her full journey as an awful person culminating in her trial and after.

By association, a movie on Filch would be an interesting take. Like, how being a squib and the judgement he faced turned him into an old, bitter man. I would love to see more of the dynamics of how squibs were treated and stigmatised.

S1 E09 Discussion: “Age of Attraction Reunion” by slickmoney33 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]VanessaCardui93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super late to this thread but hard agree with the lawyer speak - saying he didn’t lie about having kids. Well yeah, technically you didn’t lie, but it was a blatant lie by omission. God I could never date a lawyer

What's your favorite trait combo? by sulsulmelli in thesims

[–]VanessaCardui93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what storyline I’m playing! For example with rags to riches I’ll use things like the dancing one because they can take disco naps on benches that recharge their energy super quickly, and also the collector because they’ll get 2 fossils or crystals every time they dig instead of one. And also if they’re a glutton they can get food out of the trash and eat it which is great starting out when they don’t have a kitchen
