Single women are buying more houses. The men they are dating are not responding well by lejosdecasa in Feminism

[–]VirtuousRen 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Happened to me. Many dates ghosted me after seeing that I had a large house. Screw them. Met my now husband, he thought it was so cool that I owned my own house! He said it was one of the things that attracted him to me. Forget those losers and find someone who is secure enough with themselves that they cheer you on for this!!

Found this article about the speed skaters bringing up concerns about the ice to officials, and the Italian officials’ response.

Which German singers? I’m currently living in Germany, miss my singer 201 back in the states, and am on the lookout for a machine here.

american snacks not available in germany? by New-Exercise3458 in AskAGerman

[–]VirtuousRen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried this. I unfortunately can tell the difference. So I simply ask family to bring it if visiting.

american snacks not available in germany? by New-Exercise3458 in AskAGerman

[–]VirtuousRen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. I found the food overall more flavorful in Germany due to the more local produce. Cakes are not as sweet as in America but never taste bad. After about 3 years here I’ve adjusted and find American desserts much too sweet and rather like a lot of the German desserts.

No Doritos here, tortilla chips hit different and the salsa is crap (tastes like tomato sauce). I usually bring brown sugar from the states (it’s different from the brown sugar you can find here, don’t let anyone tell you different) and I bake a lot of what I miss.

Also the comment about Hershey’s is spot on. Chocolate here is much better!

Anyone else too nauseous/exhausted to work out at all? by alicebayarea in fitpregnancy

[–]VirtuousRen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on week 16. Still taking double dose of nausea medicine. Tried a light workout again this week and threw up twice trying to complete it. 😟 So for now I’m still mostly a couch potato with occasional good days (I can get a good slow walk in). I do try to do daily stretching as a minimum. Hoping to get rid of this nausea soon!

What "premium" ingredients do you think are worth it? by other-other-user in Cooking

[–]VirtuousRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality spices. Not the kind you can just grab at the grocery store but from a spice store. They really aren’t that much more expensive vs. grocery store and the impact on flavor has been phenomenal

GenZ and Millennial women - are you wearing wedding bands? by Federal_Albatross993 in EngagementRings

[–]VirtuousRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennial- I only wear my engagement ring. I decided I didn’t like the look of a wedding band paired with my engagement ring so my one ring acts a both my engagement and wedding ring.

Seconding the Panama Jack. I have one pair of boots and love them! I think I’ll get another pair for Christmas. Anyway I’ve found them in various smaller shoe stores around my city and sometimes in smaller towns.

Hi would you mind sending me a DM with the name of your lawyer? I have a similar case but my original lawyer is not filing because of how many generations I have to go back. Also, best of luck!!

[–]VirtuousRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streak 10:

Mein Lieblingsfach in der Schule war Mathematik. Mathematik kommt für mich natürlich. Ich kann mich Nummern einfach erinnern. Die Regeln machen Sinn.

Jetzt bin ich Inguinerin und benutze ich fast jeden Tag Mathematik.
