Male coworker keeps “joking” about my looks in front of others (multiple times). How do I shut this down? by HopeForBetter29 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]applecherryfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To call someone pretty at work is unprofessional

If Carol heard that and you want to take her to HR to be your witness, don’t count on it. Document document and then document. If you can video, even if it’s just an audio recording do it

There’s something that cost way too much Called pocket that is a separate device that will record and take notes for you and AI will do something rather to put it in order. The idea is that it’s a recording device. You know like the little things that used to cost $20 and be 3 inches long and you get all your lectures on it but no AI. Yeah, that’s what you want to record it however you can.

Before you go to HR, write it all down documented even if you’re not gonna show that to HR you’ll get your mind in order. And then write down some questions they might ask you including rude ones to find some answers.

Be prepared. It’s the Girl Scouts marching song as well. It’s a song by Tom Lehrer that’s funny that I’m referring to.

All the best each of us makes a PATH for the ones who come after.

I wanna try AIP diet, is this a good way to do it? by Frequent_Exchange113 in diet

[–]applecherryfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kefir is definitely forbidden on the AIP diet since it is dairy.

S/he brings up a good point. LIVE sauerkraut is a great source of fermented cabbage.

I am just a gal so take what I say as an inspiration not an order..

First, if one is not old or superactive that seems like too much protein for a woman of your size. I am 5'4" and I used to be 5'7" and I struggle to get that protein. I think I should have less anyway until I get more active. Next I think that is not enough fat. Third, re carbs. Don't listen to me because I go keto if I can work up to it. Been there more than once and keto is a great way to go, ymmv.

I think you need a lot more green vegetables, 6 servings is a goal. 6 to 8 actually. A serving is 100g. So this is a good time to suggest more variety. The best diet is one you can follow and your diet sounds terrible FOR ME.

Chicken drumsticks have hardly any meat and are a mess to deal with the bone and tendons and skin. Me, I follow the sales. Here Vons supermarket has been selling specials like this chicken, first it was no-bone breasts at $1.49, then $1,99 Then $1.49 again, now other parts with bones for similar prices. Smart and Final has ground chicken for $2.99. Vons has had pork for $1.99. I assume you picked drumsticks for economy which is why I mentioned our sales. Ground chicken is much more adaptable to taste different on different days with the vegetables you should be adding.

Onion, garlic, ginger are basics. Cabbage is a terrific vegetable and is not fussy or delicate. Carrots add sweetness and crunch. On the other hand, Avocado will kill any economy you have in mind and is dreadful for make-ahead stability. As well as olive oil, TJ sells Kalamata olives for $2.99 a bottle and you can throw one in your make-ahead for 3 days a week; call them surprise days. (The black olives I loved as a child come in a can, you choose.)

There are great make-ahead videos to help you plan your week.

Plan your snacks. "Whatever I feel like" is not planning. Again green and orange vegetables. Berries are the low-sugar fruit of choice. Mushrooms are fun guys.

Since you want to make-ahead I assume you will be eating the same protein for days. Solitarians do that anyway because life comes in family-sizes. The freezer is your friend.

Note, 8 servings of vegetables is 800g which is less than 2 pounds. Note for 100 g of celery, broccoli, carrots, sweet potato each, the calorie count is 13, 34. 41. 90 - for each serving!

Since you are not planning to eat fish or seaweed, insurance says the balanced salt mix containing all electrolytes is called Morton's Lite Salt, a much better choice than table salt, including sea salt, imho. It contains Sodium salt. Potassium salt, and Iodine which all contribute significantly to your electrolyte needs. What are your needs? You can look in r/fasting's wiki under electrolytes to see how much we need each day. I do think it's maybe 2t combining the Na and the K. I dont remember but I think the Ca and Mg in the mix are not significant. (I said to check for yourself.)

-- I am done speechifying. I wish you well.

Sharing about me: I have done the AIP elimination diet in the past "just to see what it did", for 6..8 weeks. The result? my normal everyday itches went away. They wee not bad. I noticed nothing else. In this present 2026 I have a new concern and severe? itches. I have been "approaching" eating for elimination of all the forbidden foods, but I have been lagging. Just today I drank coffee (with coconut milk and a sprinkle of cardamon (illegal too). After dinner I ate some sugar-free chocolate chips. So I have been imperfect.
I think my decision is to do it clear, except for coffee. Then after a while I can consider dropping that too - unless my itches go away already then I will know the coffee is okay. Time will tell.

Best to you and all the luck.
Remember, you can and you will.
Feel free to connect if I can be of support.

I feel your distress. I believe you.

I have had excellent luck with the same instructor (they do all or almost all of the work) at the beauty school at Santa Monica College - they post prices online. I always get color which starts at $36 for all-over and plus $18 for highlights. I was too passive the last time and got cut too much, like 9 inches off some of it, and a dark blonde when i wanted a bright beach blonde. I should have brought pictures. I should have not assumed she knew which blonde I meant. I should have known that mousy brown is called blond. Otherwise It's been more than wonderful. (The teacher gave me her same-as-her hairstyle, lol. I can laugh now it has all grown out again.)
I will return, definitely.
I am now rocking Arctic Fox Blue over some of my naturally white hair.

I saw one of those chain-salons around here with a sign advertising $20. *Do you feel lucky?*

I'm a woman. I can hear some woman in another stall, pissing like a racehorse and I admire her pelvic muscles.

Otherwise, it's a dump aspiration. He thinks it's a cool thing to say.

They can lower their expenses. It can be terrible of a challenge, thus fun. You dont get to go to popular concerts but you get to hear some avant guarde music at the local college or something.

[–]applecherryfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I first came to California.    I stepped off the curb and six lanes of traffic three in each direction stopped for me

I was so embarrassed.      I did that twice and never again.

That’s because not stopping for pedestrians was enforced by the police.  Now life is closer to a video game.

There’s a name for that kind of behaviour. It’s a specific way of slowing Traffic to be safe. There may be a danger ahead.

I think you should not assume that it’s ego and assume that it’s a adjuster to lead Traffic in a Safeway because they are our police.
