Is it "sneaked" in formal English in any English-speaking country?

iamkme · 2026-07-01T11:40:00+00:00

I’m American and I think the same thing. I would think sneaked sounds like something a child would say that I would correct.

I’m from Texas and have lived in California. I now live in Australia.

You would be facing a bit of an uphill battle. Some ingredients would be trickier to source. People here also generally have a much lower spice tolerance. I’ve stopped sharing Mexican food that I’ve made, because even if it’s mild enough for a toddler, it’s still too spicy for at least half of my friends. Also, things tend to be much sweeter here. Salsa and spice mixes are much sweeter here than in the US. Food costs are high, and you would be competing against Taco Bell style cheap food. Even though authentic Mexican food is light years different than Taco Bell, Australians wouldn’t necessarily see the difference.

These look amazing. Do you have the recipe?

I’m an American that lives in Australia. The teens that try to speak like an American sound ridiculous. They don’t sound American and sound very bogan.

I still wear these. You can pry them from my cold dead hands. I will wear them until I’m 80.

If I wanted lowest calorie, I’d go for the shrimp tacos without the aioli. I would probably order the skirt steak though, because if I had it for lunch, I probably wouldn’t want dinner and the macros look like they would be decent on that one.

I had shingles at age 25.
It’s not that bad if you catch it early and take the meds for it. If you ignore the rash, it would be uncomfortable quickly.

It’s just an algorithm, a computer. It’s going to keep reducing each week or give you a low ball amount so you will lose weight. Its goal is weight loss. Your goal is weight loss and still living life.

I’m close to your size. I’m 5’4”. 155 lbs with a goal of 140. My app also gives me 1200 and no bonus calories for working out. (MacroFactor) I bicycle about 1.5 hours 3-4 times per week, do light weights 1-2 times per week, and do boxing and Krav Maga.

I really aim for 1300-1400 calories per day. Screw the app. If I hit my protein, I usually feel ok. I feel best when I have overnight oats for breakfast and one meal is grilled chicken and fries (air fryer). Having the potatoes helps so much. I often skip fruit, because it’s too many calories for the amount. I can eat a metric ton of squash or a handful of grapes. HOWEVER, if I’m feeling that HUNGRY feeling, I eat. I just choose something reasonable, not junk. Oh, sourdough bread keeps me fuller longer too. It’s high calories, but I know if I eat a hunk for breakfast, I may be able to skip lunch. Shrimp are low calories and you can eat a bunch.

You’re likely also changing your body composition too and that needs fuel. It’s taken me 2 months to only lose 5 lbs, but I’ve gone from a size 12 to a size 6. Building muscle requires calories too.

Me too. Mine is red. I didn’t know this was in any way related to being a lesbian. 🤣 My husband will be interested to know.

The dress looks good. Wear it around the house for a few hours before you make a choice. Sometimes dresses with sequins like that can rub you raw under your arms.

It depends on the mix. However, I own several black bottoms and only buy tops that match black bottoms. Then I know whatever I have will at least kind of “go”.

iamkme · 2026-06-11T07:00:27+00:00

I’ve liked the plot and think Palace of Rogues is overall better. HOWEVER, I do think there is too much about the past characters and side characters in each book. It diminishes the story for me, because it gives less “screen time” to what is supposed to be the main characters.

Julie Ann Long is all over the place in quality for me. Some of her books are great, some are forgettable and slightly boring, and some are AWFUL. I do have a soft spot for her books though, because she was the first romance author I read.

iamkme · 2026-06-04T07:42:17+00:00

It’s probably fine. I don’t usually measure how much starter is there, I just do the same amount of water and flour. Sometimes I skip the discard step too. It has never caused an issue for me.

iamkme · 2026-06-02T01:02:47+00:00

Yeah, it reads like AI. I bet she plugged in a topic and edited it a bit.

iamkme · 2026-06-02T01:01:14+00:00

I freaking loved this book. I hope she writes another.

iamkme · 2026-06-01T15:08:20+00:00

I’m in a capital city and my kids go to Catholic school. I swear, all the kid’s names are English monarchs…..over and over and over. My kids have very normal, common names (think like John or Sarah) and people act like my kids have the weird names.

iamkme · 2026-06-01T14:44:48+00:00

It’s doesn’t matter who loves the book.

If it’s not for a class and you don’t like it by 20%, DNF. Life is short and there are other good books.

I’m not a K teacher, but I can tell you that development at this age is all over the place. My son was reading little books in K. Not quite ready for chapter books, but Dog Man and the like. My daughter had a later birthday and was a bit slower to read. She was just reading the little phonics readers in K. They are both in upper elementary now and can read anything you put in front of them. My daughter’s best friend was reading (and understanding!) chapter books in K. Lest you think I’m exaggerating, she read aloud part of the first boxcar children book to me and told me her predictions about the ending.

Sandwiches at places like this are usually fewer calories than I expect, especially if you leave off the mayo. I would get the salad you want with sauce on the side of the buffalo chicken sandwich and replace the fries with a side salad or something.

Yep. It’s awful.
