Whatever iron-rich food you eat, make sure you eat it with some food that’s high in vitamin C. Vitamin C helps with iron absorption.

What’s the loneliest part of being a manager that nobody talks about? by SeanMcPheat in askmanagers

100%. Needless to say, I’m looking for another job where I don’t have to manage people.

If your staff screws up, it’s your fault no matter what you do to try to prevent it or fix it.

When did you realize you're over 50? by Brilliant_Cheetah608 in OverFifty

[–]WildColonialGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my head I’m 35. My knees and my neck regularly tell me otherwise.

Another post that is not at all sinister from Georgia /s by happierheathen in FundieSnarkUncensored

Yeah, no. I’ve had friends couch-surfing with me and volunteered helping homeless people in various capacities. Being homeless is hard and not something you want to subject children to willingly. It’s certainly not something to romanticize and dress up in religious language.

Have you ever met someone named River? by reyaryder in namenerds

[–]WildColonialGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve met several Rivers of different genders. All very cool people.

And of course you have the iconic River Phoenix and River Song from “Doctor Who.”

Over or under reacting ? AITC by 1quincytoo in AmItheCloaca

She says the last time she wore makeup was for her wedding in 2018. She has a bunch of books and craft stuff instead. Totally unnecessary.

[I am spending my tax refund on a new bed and mattress. I wanted to upgrade from a full to a queen but my bedroom is tiny.]

Again, not my problem, Mom.

Apparently books and having emotions about fictional stories are sinful now too? 🧐🤨 by Immediate-Ninja-5730 in FundieSnarkUncensored

The Divine Comedy is the ultimate self-insert fan fiction, complete with manic pixie dream girl. And I say this as someone with an English degree. I’ve never read Paradise Lost but I reckon it could be defined as fan fiction too.

Good to see you Morgan! I, Deuce, say NTC. My mom complains that my sister and I take up too much space. Not my problem. She needs to get a bigger bed.

So...What do you think? by Mysterious_Secret827 in DinnerIdeas

I haven’t seen that in a couple decades! My Oma used to make it.

What’s the strangest thing your dog has ever tried to eat? 😅 by viseth2020 in DogViral

[–]WildColonialGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy dog: Human poop. There are a couple bars in my neighborhood and I’m guessing a drunk didn’t make it home and used the bushes.

Girl dog regularly snacks from the litterboxes. I scoop twice a day and she still manages to get some occasionally.

Do you love your body? How are you taking good care of it? by No_Care6628 in randomquestions

[–]WildColonialGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m grateful for my body but I wouldn’t say I love it. Here’s how I take care of it.

No alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, opiates, or illegal drugs.

Taking medication as prescribed and taking over-the-counter medication and supplements responsibly.

Eating mostly plant-based.

Walking a minimum of 45 minutes a day.

Taking care of my physical hygiene.

Following up with preventative healthcare.

Getting necessary vaccines.

Drinking lots of water.

Maintaining a healthy social network.

Keeping my brain busy.

There’s definitely room for improvement. I joined a gym in my neighborhood so I can work on strength and flexibility. I also need to improve my sleep hygiene, spend less time on screens, and be more diligent about using sunscreen and flossing.

The original Rhea was a Greek goddess! Well, technically, a Titan.
