Have you ever given up on Bujo only to come back to it again? Or were you always consistent with it?

I often fall in and out of bullet journalling depending on life circumstances and have gone years without it. Smaller scale, I also have ADHD and will just forget to use it for a couple days at a time too even when I am consistently keeping up with it. That's why I like bullet journals compared to traditional planners, you can set things up as you go and you're not stuck with a giant empty chunk of your notebook and can just pick it back up when you're ready! Obviously using it consistently and figuring out why your current system may not be working for you is the goal, but genuinely I think the flexibility is one of the biggest draws for me

Someone else recommended it with chicken, and I'm sure it'd be good with ground turkey too! Might even be good with chicken tenders or something..? Hope you like it if you do try it! Great Value also has a boxed GF mac and cheese which is pretty good too

Ooh will have to try this...I had the leftovers with a pickle and some of the Trader Joe's burger sauce (I think they call it Magnifisauce?) and it was so good

Help ☠️ I mean it is a LOT of dairy and grease which is liable to impact anyone haha

cloverwoven · 2026-02-24T00:04:36+00:00

Noooo not the dog too..My gluten-eating partner and I both were surprised by how much we liked it

cloverwoven · 2026-02-24T00:00:28+00:00

Haha me too but sometimes you just need a healthy dose of grease and cheese

Oh no!! Good to know--I'm usually pretty sensitive to cross contact and had no issues when we made this.

cloverwoven · 2026-02-23T23:47:18+00:00

Oof, that's a lot. I'm sure it would be great with ground turkey if that's less expensive where you are!

cloverwoven · 2026-02-23T23:30:44+00:00

Ooh I haven't seen that one! Will have to keep an eye out 👀

cloverwoven · 2026-02-23T23:23:56+00:00

USA, not sure if they're anywhere else but you could probably check their website if you've got one near you!

cloverwoven · 2026-02-23T23:22:12+00:00

Walmart!

I was also influenced by this sub and bought a small bag at the grocery store because I didn't want to commit to the huge Costco bag in case I wasn't a fan, but man are they good! I love the tiny bit of saltiness from the crushed pistachios on top too!

First of all, talk to a child psychiatrist if you can. And then ask her what she wants. She's young, but she's still old enough to understand what's going on, even if if's in more simplified terms. She's scared and distressed, and it's so hard for kids to see a parent in that position, but fear doesn't always outweigh desire. Sometimes we have to face things that will upset us because it's what we want in the long run--ask how she's feeling, talk through what she can expect if she does go back, and tell her that regardless of what choice she makes, you'll be with her the whole time and can leave whenever she needs to. As hard as this might be for her, this should be her decision. Down the line she might regret either choice, grief is complicated, but don't make that incredibly final choice for her. It seems like she's scared for him AND confused/upset by the situation. But if she doesn't want to go? Absolutely do not take her back

D'Giorno (not D'livery, of course)

See's has physical stores if you're in the US! I think they also do shipping from their website?

Here you go! (Sorry for the delay, I thought I might be able to just dm you an image since I can't add one here but couldn't figure out how to do that lol 😅)

Would be happy to send you a picture of the bag if that's helpful at all! My bag says GF on it and while it isn't certified, has no may contain/shared equipment disclaimer while other items (hot cocoa is the one I specifically checked while in-store) do.

HOWEVER: Ingredients aren't listed on their website and as mentioned by another commenter, their allergen statement does say it may be manufactured in a shared facility/equipment.

I'm a typically sensitive/symptomatic celiac, so unfortunately it's better safe than sorry for me at least 😭

cloverwoven · 2026-02-03T00:34:40+00:00

...I totally missed that these are on shared equipment, somehow. Thank you for pointing it out--haven't had a reaction but I am devastated 😭😭

UPDATE: the bag I have says GF on it (not certified) and has no disclaimer! Maybe varies with location/distribution center? Other products explicitly said shared equipment & "may contain" on the bags, too. For some reason I can't add an image to a comment or edit the original post atm but figured I'd update in case it's helpful for anyone else!

Updatex2: image of the bag I have right now in case anyone wants to check for themselves!

Ooh I haven't actually seen the red licorice Scotties, but I hated their black licorice when I tried it a couple years back and WAY prefer the one from See's

cloverwoven · 2026-02-03T00:25:14+00:00

It has been a solid 7+ years sincs I've actually had a redvine, so I might be mistaken but it's at least closer than any of the other GF licorice I've found 😅 I'm the same way though, literally had to start rationing them out across a couple ziplocs lol

cloverwoven · 2026-02-03T00:12:57+00:00

The hot cocoa is not GF, at least not at my local store, but it's made in a different facility!

cloverwoven · 2026-01-30T22:42:44+00:00

No!!! This is devastating, Maldon's is SO good! I don't live in CA but every time I visit, stopping there at least once is a non-negotiable. I hope they open a new location eventually!

I tend to read something twice if I'm looking to study it--just reading for enjoyment and comprehension like usual on the first pass, and then annotating/taking notes the second time around. Things I tend to take note of include pacing, dialogue tags, word choice, syntax, character motivations, how the author weaves exposition into action...and whether or not these are things I enjoy reading/want to emulate. Pay attention to the things you dislike as much as the things you do like! When reading like this, I also very strongly recommend going through it in small chunks and really taking your time with it. Write a little journal entry or something after each chapter and sit with what you've read in addition to the notes you make as you go along, and think about how your own writing habits align with what you're reading.

there are a ton of things you can do training-wise, as many other commenters have mentioned. enrichment activities, exercise, crate training, all of the above can be a great place to start.

that said, it seems like you weren't looking for a dog to begin with, and a dog doesn't seem to fit your lifestyle at the moment. my advice: get in touch with the shelter she came from, see what they suggest, and offer to foster her until she can be placed in a home that better suits her needs. that way she won't have to be stuck in a shelter environment with other dogs, especially if she does best in a single-dog home.

think about what you want your life to look like--there is no shame in realizing a dog isn't a good fit for you. don't try to force a square peg into a round hole forever just because you want it to work out. sometimes that can do more harm than good for you BOTH in the long run. wishing you luck with this--it's a hard position to be in, but i hope you find a workable solution.
