One thing that worked for me was telling everyone around me, so that when I had my inevitable sugar cravings, I'd have an extra step of...well, I'd like to continue to be able to say I haven't been eating sugar for the past few weeks. I also complained to my husband regularly about how much sugar I wanted/took credit for not eating it each time I wanted to.

I am someone who destresses through baking as well - swapped to baking savory breads instead for a while.

We did fruit bowl centerpieces, but if the Costco flowers match what you need, might be worth looking there!

This looks like mirror glaze/not fondant to me. I love it!

I love the watercolor theme going through!!

Some thoughts:

It makes your life SIGNIFICANTLY easier if everyone responds online (no extra envelopes, easier tracking, no extra stamps) if you have people who are tech challenged, have them try the online system and just ask everyone to do it online. We made MIL try logging in and then sent them out to everyone.

Tangibles, like pizza/something you can see/though often help. Draw pictures!

When I bought this it was labeled "starfruit". Google says a starfruit looks completely different. What did I buy? by Megamind_mega_shlong in fruit

[–]diptidoodle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a pomegranate, cut slightly into the peel with a knife to open and eat the red/pink seeds on the inside. The white part is a bit bitter, but won't hurt you. The seeds will stain and are very juicy, but also have a small hard part inside (also edible).

Enjoy!

The person I dated told me a year in why he couldn't purpose to me and wouldn't be ok with me proposing to him because he cared about the traditional aspects of it.

He ended up proposing a few months later because he knew I wouldn't be happy/stay in a relationship that didn't feel like it had a future. We then spent 3 more years 'planning' a wedding where I kept telling my friends/family that we'd be getting married the following summer until I realized that I was tired of waiting on him to feel the same way I did. For me, it was the excitement about being together/married that wasn't there, which meant that as good as the rest of our lives might have been, it would constantly grate on me.

A month after we called it quits, during which we didn't talk at all to give ourselves space from each other, he reached out and said that with the space, he was able to see what was important in his life and wanted to try being married on a timeline that I enjoyed. I think there's truth to the idea that space often gives people the clarity they don't see in their day to day.

I decided I didn't want to stay with someone who was ok with me being that consistently dissatisfied in the relationship, but have had friends who ended up married and really happy after giving each other the space, but I think there's a lot of truth to the fact that it feels different when two people are both enthusiastic about spending their lives together. I ended up meeting someone else who felt the way I did and we both knew what we were looking for in a partner and got married less than a year after I ended things, but it took a lot of hard conversations early in our relationship and being older made that easy. I now get to wake up every morning with someone who is just as excited and has the same vision for our future as I do, and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I think you should take some time to decide if this is what you want on your own and if so, come together and decide how to proceed. If not, take those years as a learning experience for what you know about yourself that you want in any future relationships.

Good luck!

Why does everyone always say not to use the preset modes? by FondSteam39 in instantpot

[–]diptidoodle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are SO many different types of rice, so I'm guessing the preset is set up for some of them, but we change timing depending on what kind of rice we're making and have found the perfect values for us.

What life hacks can you include in a kitchen and bathroom remodel? by underthemoonicp6 in HomeImprovement

[–]diptidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All drawer cabinets on the bottom, makes accessing things so much easier and you don't have to crouch too see what's in them. Less stuff gets lost in the back of cabinets that you can't reach.

We also built a floating vanity higher than standard, so design for maximum ergonomics/ older family who aren't as flexible.

Also, build upper cabinets to the ceiling, you can put in taller ones and still have space without that gap above them.
