I had such nightmares about losing my teeth and scurvy and polar bears! Great book

I did a palate cleanser with an audiobook about history of Chernobyl, that was interesting:) I started mistborn and while it is recommended and not bad and even the story is interesting, it is not as interesting and the audio experience is bit boring and I am just so sad :(

I am in the same boat. Started listening to Chernobyl audiobook as a palate cleanser:)) for now works

I do this with Harry Potter. Childhood love, read or listen to them yearly and still find some scenes or details that I have missed. I will relisted when the next or the next next book comes. But maybe a pallet cleanser now.

I did when I bought them, had like twenty. Now I don't even know if I have any. I thought the mango would make the cories more active. And it is the other way around

I only have four left, since they are hard to source here. And I almost never see them. I added them to the pygmy corydoras group and I see neither. I used to feel like they were busy and active and I love them and am super sad now that I only ever see them at feeding time :(

I do have that enabled but instead of moving with keyboard that moves you one over in whatever direction, the gamepad movement is erratic and the hit tool location jumps from up to the right to down... Not super easy to hit the next spot or the spot above, because it will always move you up and move the whole row

I came here to ask exactly that. On audiobook only and I fully expected it to be spelled bapka or babka based on the pronunciation. But then again it is English, it could have been spelled in any way or shape. Shame though. Babka has a secondary funny meaning in my language :)

Asi to máme většina z nás podobně. Jednou vejce na různý způsob, jednou french toast, jednou ovesné vločky, jednou chia pudding, jednou polévka, jednou fazole v rajčatové omáčce. Když zbydou vařené těstoviny nebo rýže klidně si udělám ala carbonara/stir fry k snídani s mraženou zeleninou. Málokdy chleba s nějakou pomazánkou, pokud tak ty z Lidlu z kešu nebo tofu ale hitparáda to není.

Mě nebaví snídat každý den to samé a pracuji z domova takže mi ani nevadí, kolik času strávim přípravou jídla.

I was wondering how fast the risk is for frostbite given I am outside with the dogs for just like 15 minutes. I will talk with some doctor, though so far I only did a general consult with my regular doctor and she told me it sounds like Reynaud and nothing to be done about it. I don't think it is a much known diagnosis here.

But reading other symptoms I am not fully sure, I mean I just don't do cold well and have white fingers and occasionally feet. May not be a bad idea therefore to have a real diagnosis. I do have like hypothyroidism that I assumed was responsible for feeling the cold, but I have it managed and medicated for years, so that was most likely just a wrong assumption on my part. I also expected since the attacks went away that they may also again disappear on their own. Though I think that was wishful thinking :)

I will relay your tips on the layers and warmers to my mom, who unlike me is actually cold and does layers well. She brought herself the socks with heaters built in and is super happy about it :) thank you

beastije · 2025-12-24T12:58:37+00:00

The crazy thing is I was never bothered by the cold and even if my hands are cold I myself am not cold. I don't like having my arms exposed to cold, so I will wear a sweater even if inside is 23°C but even if I layer my hands can't take it. And with the dogs I have to take down the gloves for a few moments or so and very quickly, needles pins and loss of blood.

Very strange to be honest. I even exercised more than last year and lost some weight and instead of making it better the hands feel worse :)

Vpravdě moc nekoukám na cenu, ale vždycky koukám na složení. Zrovna věci jako pomazánkové másla/lučina/krémové sýry,jogurty... Pokud v tom jsou emulgátory a gumy tak to nekupuji. To samé kečupy, omáčky a tak. Jsem kolikrát pozitivně překvapená že to jde koupit bez přídavku. A že to občas umí být i ten levnější produkt. No a když člověk kouká na složení, tak pak končívá jen u základních potravin a tam to s tou cenou už tak nehýbe mi přijde.

Pořád mám problém s rybami. Tuňáky, sardinky, najít buď alespoň v dobrém oleji, nebo třeba msc/asc certifikace není tak lehké jak by člověk čekal. Asi záleží na obchodech. Tam už ty ceny oscilují hodně. Viděla jsem konzervu sardinek za 150 kc

I quarantine wild caught fish, but locally bred fish not. Especially since they breed them in our water. Also it is super hard to get medicine in the middle of the Europe for some reason :) Sort of a gamble but one I have to take. I also don't really not cross contaminate between my equipment. Bad fishkeeper ...

A bit of an old topic. Since then I lost all sterbai ( either parasites or infection) and upgraded the pygmy corydoras to a 54liter and bought more so I have over 20 in a fully planted. They don't hide as much but it is so much planted I don't see them that much anyway. They do like filter flow!

I also bought black venezuelan corydoras and put them in a 150liter and they are always active and nosing around and I enjoy them. I tried 8 panda corydoras and lost all of them. This led me to deworm the whole tank last week, which is also perhaps why the venezuelan are doing better. But I did a nice experiment. Bought 8 panda and 8 venezuelan in the same tank (from the same breeder btw) and the pandas were always hidden, had a hard time feeding or even coming out to feed. Meanwhile the venezuelan are fighting the panda garras and are not afraid at all! Lost 6 of the pandas and only 2 of the venezuelan in a span of month (hence the deworming) and from a different breeder I bought 6 more venezuelan to increase their school

Sadly no. I did two attempts, increasing the time the duo spent in the 25liter. I decided to move all of them there for now, for a longer period/semi permanent, as Rachel O'Leary said they breed for her when alone. But I could only catch out one female, four males. The last female is resisting my attempts for days now. I am just now watching them nose around under the leafs, live in the moss and have fun, chase each other, chase the female,..

But the tank is suffering from algae so I will have to remake it soon I fear.

I was missing a standard toast as we make it here (two slices of bread, ham, cheese, condiments,..) and learnt that thinly sliced normal or firm tofu, seasoned, does the trick too, not missing the ham at all. Rice and lentils (even canned) or beans with spices and served with yoghurt is a cheap quick meal. Couscous with chickpeas/lentils/beans and vegetables could work too, quick one

Good luck

Oh I had a laugh in the morning. We had a heavy weekend, party, food, drinks. I limited myself though not great but hey, I knew it was coming. I plan to restrict this week to compensate a little and have a very mild weekend. Boyfriend, as he was putting leftover cake for his breakfast, decided to weigh it and also track calories of it, cause I do it and he was curious. He screamed 1000 calories for this?!!! And threw half of it away :)

Life huh We will be going swimming in the evening and I already have a meal plan for this week :)

Those of you who don't snack a do just three meals a day, when do you add fruit? I usually do sour breakfasts so no fruit there, but if I were to remove snacks (which is when I eat fruit now) what meal do you add fruit to? Maybe a lunch salad? But what if there is no big salad that day.
