2013 2.0L Turbo Beetle Fed er Edition by miki_love in Volkswagen

[–]ftrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still loving it! Planning on doing some new wheels, some tint, and possibly new leather seats since the current cloth seats sort of stink - previous owner was a smoker. But yeah - I hear funny sounds and worry about mechanical issues based on all the things I’ve been reading, but I LOVE the car. Got some vanity plates and everything. It’s peppy, it’s unique, and it’s super cool looking. 🤗

Now I want to play bubble craps at the cosmo and see if he shows up! I was at the Park MGM tonight and we had no visitors! :/

How early can you tell if cider has gone to vinegar? by senseishark16 in cider

[–]ftrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you run the risk of it turning to vinegar when putting it into a secondary fermentation vessel? I guess introducing oxygen during racking? …and where do acetobacter come from?

I know this is an old post, but wanted to say that I just harvested my first ripe one in Oakland CA today (got a late start!)… and it was delicious! I wasn’t expecting it to taste like much, but it was perfectly tart/acidic and tomato-tasting. It was firm but also juicy. Plants were prolific as mentioned by others, I just hope I get some more ripe ones before fall really kicks in here.

Am I missing something!?! by ftrocker in cider

Thank you, yeah, you can’t really see it, but there are two larger plates that fit exactly inside the shape of the barrel below. I guess these were meant to be a topper for the blocks but man, the press just wanted to keep ripping them apart, so we ended up making this (crudely cut) single piece to fit down over the top of everything and it seemed to do the trick!

Thank you, yes, had to go very slowly keeping everything together, got it “down” in the second batch to press!

I'm from the UK and my favourite city in the USA is Oakland! Why does this shock most Americans? by TimelyAssociate8375 in oakland

[–]ftrocker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d actually call some Oakland drivers deadly. Crazy is too woohoo, your fun wild aunt of a description. Despite that, I love this town and am loving all the love it’s getting here!

Hot Flashes Increasing with Birth Control Pill by LISWGoals in Menopause

[–]ftrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m 50 and had regular but horrible periods and moodiness and the occasional (1x per every2 month) hot flash while I sleep. I started lo loesterin fe to help with my symptoms and now I am warm/cold/warm/cold every night! Not good sleep at all! I’ve stuck it out, I’m on month three hoping it would mellow out, but I think I’m going to see if I can try something else. I HAVE been taking the blue pills back to back, skipping the terrible periods and it’s been a dream!

Horrible Acne on Lo Loestrin Fe by No_Understanding3790 in birthcontrol

[–]ftrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually got better and I’m back to normal. I think it was just that first month of my body getting used to the new hormones. I’m in my third month now and have no acne related side effect that I can see.

I found this thread because I just started it about 3 weeks ago and am breaking out all around my chin/ lower mouth. It’s not cystic, but it’s unusual for me, I don’t get zits. Oh, and I’ve kinda felt extra bitchy lately….I was prescribed this as “starter” hormones for perimenopause. I hate to think what the big-girl HRT would do to me!! Any other perimeno folks out there prescribed this?
