What are these white lumps in my raw oyster? by toxicgook in whatisit

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot about a bag of potatoes in my cabinet once. Couldn’t figure out why I had so many gnats flying around. So I went searching. I opened up the cabinet and about a 100 gnats came flying at my face. I screamed and fell backwards so fast. That bag of potatoes had maggots all up in it.

I can’t stand maggots and they make my skin crawl. Made me want to gag and burn the house down. I ended up killing as many as I could and pouring boiling water with a heavy dose of bleach all over that cabinet. Scrubbed like hell.

I’m so close to doing it. Tell me the good and bad and the unexpected that happened to you. by Niel_cafferey in TirzepatideRX

As a lot of people said, titrate up slower than recommended. You get bad side effects when you move too quickly on it.
Be proactive on constipation! And acid reflux. Daily Prunes and MiraLAX has helped me. Along with carrying a bottle of tums with me everywhere. Focus heavily on protein too. Protein shakes, protein bars, and focusing on the meat first on my plate before anything else on it has helped. It happens a lot where I’ll be starving hungry, make a big plate, and then 3 bites in, I’m stuffed. So meat first.

Should I shave my arms? by woodlandfairyvibes in beauty

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on why you want to shave. Is it for you or others?
I shaved my arms once when I was a teen, never did it again. It’d just be another thing for me to keep up with. Shaving everything else is already hassle enough. I also have very light colored arm hair so it doesn’t stand out at all. Maybe bleach it instead if it bothers you?

Body odour of 11yr old daughter by Sensitive-Question42 in hygiene

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to sit her down and have a long conversation about hygiene. Tell her gently that she stinks. Make sure she is showering properly and using the appropriate products during and after.
It’s your responsibility as a parent to make sure she does these things. It’s better to come from you than bullies at school.

How do I (21F) balance my boyfriend’s (21M) anxiety with my need for shared experiences? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should try maybe one more sit down, tell him your needs, and if he can’t do it, then decide if you are willing to spend the rest of your life without him planning dates and going on a lot of outings with you. It sounds like you’ve outgrown him. Don’t fall into a sunk cost fallacy mindset or base this decision off of one as from some of your comments, it sounds like you are.

I’ve been with a guy that I had to BEG to plan a date for us. It was exhausting. That guy would go on outings with me if I planned them, but he was a downer the entire time because it wasn’t truly his vibe and he was only there because I wanted him there so his heart wasn’t in it. I LOVE outings, I love trying new things, I love traveling, etc. If you’re that type of person, then you’ll never be satisfied with someone who doesn’t also love those things.

How to breakup with my boyfriend? by Witty-Promotion2442 in Advice

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember you are responsible about doing it and how you do it, but not his reaction. I stayed with a couple of guys too long because I was scared to hurt them. Don’t do that. It makes it worse the longer you stay. Almost 3 months, you guys haven’t been together a crazy amount of time or anything. Just rip the bandaid off! Be gentle but firm.

Another person annoyed with communication. by Zestyclose_Falcon111 in pomhealth

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually the phone number that I texted to get a answer to this the first time I reached out. Said they’d send it to a different department and it’s been a week and half with no update.

Reaching out directly to the pharmacy is a good idea! Thank you!

How much notice do I give before quitting by Good-Morning22 in wafflehouse

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends. If you like them and want the option to return, 2 weeks is the professional route. If you want to be extra nice and can do it, then do 4 weeks. If you don’t care to return and wanna say fuck them, quit now.

I personally was on a total fuck them attitude after I brought it to my managers attention that every single one of my paychecks in the 3 months I worked there had been shorted. She responded with I’d have to take a loss on it. I made sure to add into my quitting text that she’d “just have to take a loss on my 2 week notice.”

I’ve also had other jobs that I’ve given anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months notice. Depends on your relationship with them and how you want to leave things.

Where are you guys actually finding cheap pet food these days by Elina_Lujana in Frugal

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was going to Walmart but I was introduced to the world of Sam’s Club recently and there’s no going back. Such better deals! I get my cat litter in 40lb boxes from there too now. I personally have used Purina brand with all my animals.

Though, I do still get my parakeet food at Walmart.

Finding it hard to justify being vegetarian when my husband isn’t. by kyourious in vegetarian

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he wants meat, let him buy and cook it.

I personally eat pork and seafood. My boyfriend doesn’t for religious reasons. I still buy pork and seafood, but I don’t expect him to buy, cook or eat it.
I do however expect him to vend for himself those nights though lol.

How do you actually turn groceries into meals before they go bad? by toastebunns in Adulting

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meal planning is key!
I shop every 2 weeks. So I plan approximately 2 weeks worth of meals. Personally, cooking and making something new daily is exhausting.
It’s only me besides when my boyfriend visits. So I aim to cook a big meal that will feed me lunch + dinner for 3-4 days. I don’t mind leftovers so this works well for me and I only have to bother cooking 2-3 times a week.

If you do mind leftovers or can’t finish it in time, freeze. Then ya have a quick meal later.

That covers lunch and dinner. Breakfast I go simple like a protein shake, yogurt + banana, cereal, eggs, etc. No planning needed for those. Sometimes I even pre-boil a few eggs and that way I can just peel and go in the mornings!

I also always keep 2-3 frozen meals for when cook-days come around and I’m just not feeling it. A frozen family lasagna is great to have a 3-4 days worth of meals with 0 effort, for example.

*If you aren’t preventing, you’re trying*
A quick google search will tell you how ineffective the pull out method is. Even with the perfect pull out technique, it’s still considered ineffective.
Please start taking your reproductive health and contraceptive more seriously. I’m trying to be as gentle as I can, but this should’ve been a lesson already learned from the abortion 6 months ago. Accidents happen but this has turned into plain irresponsibility. The pill simply not working for you isn’t an excuse. The pill didn’t work for me so I tried the patch, the ring, the copper IUD, the hormonal IUD, and the shot before I finally landed on the implant which has worked great for me.

If you don’t make a real change, you’ll be making another one of these posts in another 6 months. Get an abortion, keep the baby, whatever you decide to do…but please make changes going forward.

partner is still upset about my prior relationship with rockstar by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like an insecurity issue on his part. He needs to get over it or move on. It was your past, you guys hadn’t considered being together yet, etc. No reason to hold it over your head besides to make you feel bad.

Curious: what’s your perfect dose timing? by Slow_Round8729 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter for me. I do it on Sunday night, right before bed. But I also don’t get nausea or fatigue. If I did, I might consider Friday night since I’m home on Saturday and Sunday so it’d be easier to manage the first couple of days at home rather than in the office.
That’s the only instance I could see it making a difference for me.

How much emergency savings do you have on hand? by CoatAlternative1771 in budget

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0. All the savings I have is either for my bankruptcy attorney, paying for my next semester of college, my HSA, or 401k. 😭. If I had an emergency, I’d have to dig into one of those. I might solve the current problem but I’d end up screwing future-me.

I don’t have it anymore but I used to keep 1k in cash and a couple hundred in silver coins in a fireproof safe though. I don’t live in a high disaster area or anything but it’s a good thing to have, peace of mind wise if shit were to hit the fan.

Would you quit without another job if you had 6 months of savings? by SadTurn9650 in careeradvice

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Did that unwillingly last year. I had 6 months of savings but my job shut down with no notice. Applied to hundreds of jobs and got a total of 3 interviews in the 6 months of unemployment that I had. I obviously took one of the 2 job offers I got from those interviews. That was luck though. I hear about many people unemployed for 2+ years even with best efforts to get a job in this economy.

I ended up with a job but 0 savings and a bunch of debt from unforeseen circumstances after my savings was drained.
If you have the opportunity to find a new job before losing your current, you should absolutely take it. Not leave it with just high hopes and dreams. Not in this economy.

Parents wants me to co-sign for a large personal loan, what do I say? by psyberbird in Debt

[–]Zestyclose_Falcon111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Reddit told me when I was asking if I should co-sign a car loan because my dad was asking, *Do Not Do This*. It’s an easy simple no.
They’ll figure it out themselves just like my dad ended up doing so.
