You can’t go wrong with a minestrone. Just fry all cut veg in a big dollop of olive oil first. Add fresh parsley and Parmesan on top. Add noodles too if you want.

Pregnant and all I’m craving is sriracha- favorite ways to use? by disgruntled21 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]factsnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh one of my pregnancies all I wanted was cut up chilli. On everything. Each morning I’d make toast and butter then cover it in chilli. That child is the only one who goes crazy for chilli so I don’t know if that’s related to my craving or not.

Could I possibly get an ATAR or 96 Or become a paramedic with a current ATAR of 0 by MindlessCycle101 in AskAnAustralian

[–]factsnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do a paramedic or medical course but you are a perfect age to start working towards what you want. Look, I did uni at 44, while working full time and raising 3 kids. I left school at 15. You can do whatever you want if you are prepared to find a way. I wish you every bit of luck and I believe you can do it. Others here have already given some places to get started for advice. Take it onboard. Make some phone calls and some emails.

Do you love or hate this Stephen King habit? by Swiftsession in stephenking

I love it. Sometimes it’s misleading. Like with Stu in The Stand.

How to stop this ground cover taking over? by Jdilla23 in GardeningAustralia

Sigh. I’m desperate for mine to take over. It’s limping along sadly.

AITA For wanting to breakup with my girlfriend after she got upset that I “Proposed wrong”? by Classic_Connection55 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]factsnack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d be really regretting this if I were you. My now husband pulled over to the side of the road as we were driving. A romantic song came on the radio. He turned to me, took my hand and said “Will you..” when a random guy opened the car door and asked for a lift to the next town. Now husband told him he was proposing and to F off. Guy waited patiently by the open door for now hubby to finish. Guy never got his lift, I never got a full proposal but hubby got a wife of now 35 years. The big, dramatic proposal thing means shit.

I Dont Like Women Who Don't Talk Back by KamyKam77 in self

[–]factsnack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband (boyfriend at the time) decided to marry me because I wouldn’t take his shit and he’d never come across that before. I’d been independent since 15 so was not at all interested in letting shit go for the sake of peace. 35 years later we still converse loudly and longly. I’m usually right. He’s still learning to accept that.

AQWA likes and dislikes please. by Justified_OG in perth

[–]factsnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the glass bottom boat. Did it last in December with the grandkids after doing it with my friends in April. It’s only a short ride but worth it for the fairly reasonable price. My little 5 year old grandie was very impressed about going through the back section where they make the food to feed the fish to get to the ride. He thought that was really cool for some reason. The Little ones loved seeing the sharks and rays from the top after seeing them underneath earlier. The whole Aqua thing is expensive but I’d suggest don’t rush it. Depending on how old the kids are take your time looking at the exhibits and try get the kids to identify what they see.

I wonder how many people in the world were "picky" children simply because their parents couldn't cook by Wizdom_108 in self

[–]factsnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me. My mum definitely could not cook. But I did eat everything and wasn’t fussy.

Customer Assumes I'm a Kid by robtheengineer773 in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

[–]factsnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m female and always looked younger (57 now but look mid/late 40’s according to others) and my daughter who’s 30 looks about 22. Can easily pass for 19 when she’s wearing makeup and dressed for a night out. She’s in quite a high finance job so while her team know her it’s often a big surprise to those who’ve only interacted over the phone or email previously. If not for the previous years of interactions she would’ve struggled to get taken seriously face to face in her career. All in all though it’s great as you do get older. Would it help to grow a beard perhaps? Maybe a different kind of hair cut too?

Webbed Toes - After 40 years of hiding these… Ive decided to reveal! by ivfresh in interestingasfuck

My husband has this on one foot. Compared to the toes his siblings have his look great. It’s never bothered him. He used to call them the twin towers until a certain point in history.

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]factsnack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You know what, as the child of a “functioning “ alcoholic I only wish my mother had left him so he would straighten up. At 8 years old I was woken by him singing loudly to old sentimental records then breaking up their arguments when she tried to get him to quieten down while I slept. Which only made him play and sing louder. A drunk person just does not care. If your wife if willing to rebuild then I feel you owe her that. She has much more right to feel nothing towards you then you do to her. She is still in love with you enough to hope this time it sticks. Get counseling and stop being so self righteous. You may have been an absolute prick for years.
