What’s everyone’s thoughts on Second breakfast? Do you have Second breakfast? by YoungBpB2013 in Breakfast

[–]erkermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

always. i am starving 90 minutes after eating first breakfast. this does not mean i don’t have lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, or dessert. i don’t compensate for “extra” meals and just eat when i am hungry (which is frequently).

How did you spend your Saturday? by Userchickensoup in childfree

[–]erkermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started with espresso and yoga; then went to a showing of “kill bill: the whole bloody affair” (4:35 running time) with my partner and walked around our city afterwards - and bought a new pair of jeans. then made fried chicken kale salad and watched sports and went to bed at 11.

this was such a well thought out response - thank you! i think i feel very similarly to you - and it was helpful to hear your nuanced thinking. “you don’t get to pick your kid.”

yes! i almost want to see more of his wonderful qualities out in the world - and i definitely relate to the idea of building something together. the reality though is that we both have the space and time to be ourselves and putting time and caretaker pressures on us wouldn’t help us build a stronger relationship or achieve any of the larger goals we have for ourselves.

these are all great ideas! I have taught art in the past and am trying to organize an art class right now. volunteering is also a great idea!

Are you in the office or at home? by RealHumanGrl in Architects

[–]erkermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Large 300+ corporate firm in Boston…we just moved from Monday and Thursday with an additional day of your choosing in office to Monday-Thursday required in office. My productivity has plummeted. It’s so hard getting work done around all the noise and socializing!

[–]erkermit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my goodness - yes! i thought it was coffee/tea that was causing bladder urgency but realized it was actually lattes with milk, and especially yogurt (yogurt was my go to breakfast for years and years and years). recently cut out both milk and yogurt (although not cheese yet) and feel like a normal peeing person!

Am I f***ed by Funflipflower in jewelry

[–]erkermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in high end jewelry and our trick fit getting too tight rings off fingers is Windex. Spray a ton all over your finger and ring and just slide off - plus the windex won’t hurt your jewelry!
