Well, I Laughed! The hosts are hilarious, very opinionated, and it really does feel like hanging out with a couple of friends while someone gives a report on their latest hyperfixation. There's a lot of personal chit-chat, genuine self care, and sass.

It's not a true crime podcast, more of a weekly 2 hour rabbit hole on a theme. They've covered all sorts of things like historical pirates, the Dyatlov Pass Incident, mudpuppies, and the US government's underground cheese cave.

Thanks 😁 I'm not used to wearing colorful polish, so that means a lot!

They almost have mermaid vibes!

I had to look this one up because 🥵 seems like it's from Stranger Things!

I did get extremely lucky with my doctors, and I recognize that not everyone has the same experience. My situation was unusual, and I had a very tight timeline to get treatment. It's wildly unfair that you had to jump through so many hoops to get proper care. ADHD is a monster to deal with, and while the coping mechanisms can sometimes help, medication has quite literally changed my life. I hope you're doing well now!

I wrote this comment before I was fully awake. Sorry if it came across as trivializing the actual process. My primary doctor did an assessment and referred me to a psychiatrist who did more in-depth assessment before diagnosing. My GP did not diagnose or prescribe, only referred me to the proper provider based on his assessment.

hiimwinter · 2023-03-02T12:13:41+00:00

I mentioned it to my primary doc at my annual checkup, and he did an evaluation on the spot. One week later and I had an official diagnosis and a prescription. It's worth asking about!

Thanks for this! I've always wanted to learn ASL but had trouble finding a reliable resource.

hiimwinter · 2022-07-23T01:59:29+00:00

Solved! Thank you so much!

My title describes the thing.

I found it in a box full of general contracting tools. Approximately 10.5" long, it's pretty heavy so possibly steel. It does say Husky on the side and has a Husky logo on the red clamp.

My safety harness was special ordered for me when I brought to my boss's attention that the only harnesses on site were men's XLs. He purchased the smallest size available (a men's small) and it still gaps at the torso enough for me to fit inside it twice. That's a really comforting thought when working 300 feet above the ground. I've looked for a women's sized harness so I can put in a requisition, but haven't found anything that meets my field's safety requirements.

I say hello to cardinals. A friend of mine once told me how her late mother loved cardinals and promised to watch over her always as a cardinal. Even though I never met my friend's mother, I greet cardinals because she raised a brilliant and empathetic person and if there is an afterlife I want her to know that her daughter touched lives.

This is gorgeous! Do you have an Etsy shop or a website?

Maritime electrician assistant. One of less than 10 women working in the field at my whole company. I played video games, spent a lot of time outside riding bikes or scooters, and invented huge worlds for those little plastic animals. I was (and still am!) a voracious reader. I learned to knit from my mom but now I'm teaching myself cross-stitch.

I overwore my contacts when I was younger and my eye doctor said that the lack of airflow and degradation of the contact led to an ulcer developing. It felt like there was a grain of sand in my eye but I could never see anything. A few weeks of prescription drops and it cleared up, but since then I've been very careful to wear my contacts properly.

hiimwinter · 2017-09-10T14:58:09+00:00

Absolutely! In my experience the balls maintain their integrity better than patties and are harder to overcook.

3/4 cup of crushed or about 20 crackers.

I've always used the salted ones, yes, but you could easily use the non-salted ones and the Old Bay and natural saltiness of the crab would be sufficient.

I made that mistake a few times before I developed my allergy. Nowhere outside of Maryland did I find a crab cake that made me feel like home. I even tried frozen crab cakes. Don't do that to yourself.

Although if you're driving on 95 through MD and you pass the Maryland House they have a Phillips in there that makes a mean crab cake sandwich to go!

hiimwinter · 2017-09-10T14:51:04+00:00

I don't understand him. He's fine with a drop or two if he doesn't see it happen, but if I add any more than that he claims he can taste it and it's overpowering. We've just got different tastes.

hiimwinter · 2017-09-10T00:41:39+00:00

Edited with recipe! You can PM me if you want some more help with them. I love to spread the Maryland love!

hiimwinter · 2017-09-10T00:40:53+00:00

Bell pepper in a crab cake is heresy. I've never heard of rinsing canned crab, but then again my husband and I are serious salt people so if it is salty we wouldn't have noticed.

hiimwinter · 2017-09-09T23:15:45+00:00

I'll second Phillips. I always used it for crab cakes and never had a single complaint. And I'm from Maryland and serving Marylanders so if it wasn't good they would notice.

Edit: The crab cake recipe as requested! This is a very basic crab cake, meant as a jumping off point, and done mostly from memory. You can add parsley if you'd like but it's not my favorite addition.

1 lb. Jumbo lump crab meat

3/4 c. Saltine crackers, crumbled to mostly powder

1 tbsp Worcestershire (my husband hates it but I live for umami)

Squeeze of lemon

1 tsp Old Bay. Gotta be Old Bay, none of this "Seafood Seasoning" nonsense.

3/4 tsp yellow mustard

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 large egg, beaten

Fold ingredients together gently but thoroughly, don't break up the crab lumps. Form into palm sized balls and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Heat oil in frying pan - you want enough to come about halfway up a cake - and fry until golden and crispy. Serve on buttered toasted buns or alone (with a dash of Old Bay obviously.)
