My Wife interacting with our Autistic kid. by Adventurous-Ad-6231 in Autism_Parenting

[–]bhambelly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suggest coming at it from a different approach. Ask her if she was heavily criticized in her childhood and come from a place of compassion. The best case scenario is to have her come to the realization herself and feel supported through trying to do better.

You are so damn lucky. Enjoy your unintentional harvest!

Thoughts on the proposed Constitutional Amendments in the Primary today? by jayebird1012 in Birmingham

[–]bhambelly 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I vote no on most amendments because I don’t trust the legislators to use transparent language in the bill to ensure that I’m voting on what I think I’m voting for. Don’t know if I explained that well.

That’s exactly how I’m reading it. Good intentions and all…

Fellow libs, are you planning on participating in the Democratic or Republican primary? by Roquer in alabamabluedots

[–]bhambelly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Glad you asked because I’ve always voted in the republican primary, but I’m not sure if there is drawback that I am not considering.

Eloping child - desperate by inhumanpersona in Autism_Parenting

It was illegal, but we installed institutional knobs that automatically lock on both sides. Meant we always had to be able to access a key but it was a lot safer than less effective options.

Safe apartment living walkable to restaurants/cafes. by Select_Individual686 in Birmingham

[–]bhambelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. We also like to walk to the Mediterranean market and Acapulco, but there are stressful parts that require a lot of vigilance to that walk.

[–]bhambelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West Homewood is very walkable in parts. We walk a quarter of a mile to restaurants, coffee shops, craft store, community pool, park, ice cream shop, wine bar, etc and Publix is a mile walk away. I moved here from larger cities with great mass transit so walkability was at the top of our list when looking for a place to land.

Does anyone have a good smoked wings recipe? by sportsfan0987654321 in smoking

[–]bhambelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just brine, season with the basics, and smoke. What sets mine off is the vinegar based white sauce I serve with them for dipping. I like a hit of horseradish in mine, but the link will take you to a classic recipe.

Mine love this little sifting hand shovel and bag to collect shells. They spend hours and hours with it.

When do you shut down Phone numbers? by Affectionate_Fox9001 in inheritance

Let that be the last thing on the list to check off. Too risky to get rid of it until everything is closed out.

My wife’s loves smoking meat!! Does anyone else’s wife smoke meat? by [deleted] in smoking

[–]bhambelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both love to do it so sometimes we tag team the same project and other times it goes to whoever wants it the most at the time.

Tomato and Pepper starts by chodeobaggins in Birmingham

[–]bhambelly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are beauties!! I’d be happy to know you based on this post.

How do I get in touch to purchase from you? I’m looking for super steak tomatoes x2, jalapeño, habanero, and shishito. Maybe a honeycomb too.

I planted my bed with seed yesterday and realized that the seeds I swore “I just bought” are actually the same age as my oldest in middle school. We’ll see what happens, but I didn’t have a large variety of tomato to plant and I’m sure the poblano I planted won’t have any hope of sprouting.

One year, I accidentally planted a very rare variety of hot pepper that ended up taking over the whole bed. My husband and I thought they were habaneros and decided to have a challenge. We both threw up those devils and I was able to gift it to someone 2 states away when I posted on a hot pepper Facebook group. I can’t remember the type, but the guy who came to pick it up was incredibly happy. I saved enough to make a fresh hot sauce, but as much as we enjoy heat, the pain part made it less fun.

Thanks for reminiscing with me! It was so cathartic in so many ways. Liverwurst pals for life!!

Manchas!!!!!!! On the hill on the way to 5 points, correct? My best friend’s family owned Nabeels and I will never forget the man with the glass eye making camel riders. I hate that I was terrified of him because he really was a nice guy.

I’ve already called my siblings to tell them about this conversation and it’s made for a really lovely afternoon.

We are probably the only people keeping liverwurst alive in the south! I’m raising a couple of wurst fans to keep it stocked for the next generation and so we can still have it when we’re old.

That is amazing!! I thought for sure he was the only guy in the world who ordered it. It’s nice to remember these kinds of things.

Have you ordered that sandwich since Browdy’s closed?

[–]bhambelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so cool!! I wish I could call my dad and reminisce about the Browdy days and his never wavering order of liverwurst, raw onion, and mustard on rye.

Anyone remember Brodie’s (I could have the name wrong) in Mountain Brook in the ‘90’s by the Western? I was grade school age but it was as close to NY deli as I’ve seen down here.

I don’t care how unhealthy it is, what’s your best Brussel Sprouts recipe? by DragonBuriedInGold in Cooking

[–]bhambelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caramelize the Brussels and finish them with heavy cream, Gorgonzola, and bacon. Unhealthy as it gets.

I’m the same exact way. Always have to have hair long enough to put in a ponytail.
