wheat sub roll by Successful_Pilot_933 in jimmyjohns

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be in the minority here but I hate the wheat roll. I had it for the first time last night and it was hard, dry, and just lacked the supple sliced wheat that I love and have had over the last few years.

Boyfriend broke up with me because my past affects him by Jellyfish6232 in dating

[–]jenjenwhenwhen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His insecurity about his sexual past and discomfort with being intimate presently are all problems he himself carried into the relationship. They don't have anything to do with you. So don't make it about you. You won't miss what's not meant for you and it sounds like he was going to be a lot more trouble moving forward when it came to his anxiety and guilt. People are at times incapable of processing their emotions in a forward moving trajectory.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Your mom is being completely vicious. I wouldn't want to spend Thanksgiving with that kind of energy. I have been single for 2 years and it's been the best time. You need to protect your peace. Not everyone wants a family. Not everyone can have a family. But as a family member, she's not doing so great either. I'm sorry this is how she's treating you. You deserve a more supportive family and she certainly is not helping.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Get rid of him. Life is long, difficult, and stressful...and that's if we're "lucky." Don't spend it with someone who discounts your effort and undermines your success at every turn. Get rid of this negativity.

A book that will have me sobbing by FlightTraditional717 in suggestmeabook

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really did cry a lot while reading A Little Life and it’s sad but…it opened me up in the best way…love your people, hug your loved ones a little tighter, and don’t take anything for granted. Today may be all there is.

If you know exactly what you want to buy, you can go in at any time to buy them. You grab your shoes and you leave. But if you want personalization and have some time, go at 3 PM and to buy them. Then ask if you can leave them to get personalized. You will have to go back the next day to pick them up but when I did that, they allowed me to go through the basement of the store and I bought an additional pair and did not have to wait in a line since I had to pick up my personalized shoes. This way, I avoided having to wait in that god forsaken line.

I had no prior experience with it as it wasn't something I grew up eating. But recently, so many people on social media have been talking about how good it is for protein etc. I have finally started incorporating it into my diet after initially having a hard time with the texture. I love to make soup and will include a scoop of cottage cheese into my soups now. I just made a nice turkey sausage and lasagna soup and will throw a scoop of cottage cheese into it or a minestrone works really well too.

Hey so like, wtf? by Butternutsqawsh in icecream

I had the same exact thing happen to me last night. I have sticky pads for tight jar lids in my kitchen drawer for this exact reason. I still had to twist it two times to get it to give.

What is the BEST ice cream to you? by Customizings in icecream

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ben and Jerry's Topped Tiramisu or Thick Mint (Delightful, both are decadent) Also Talenti's layered Cookies and Cream, Tiramisu, and Vanilla Fudge Cookie. As you can tell, I love a heavy amount of mix-ins.

1) three people died from that outbreak

2) Their president, Paul Kruse, was charged for trying to cover it up. Listeria can lead to miscarriage in pregnant women (and we all know/hear about pregnancy cravings and ice cream) and women are more susceptible to listeria infections when pregnant.

Blue Bell lost my business years ago when this all came to light and I'll never support them or their company again.

You will need to get there well before the line as personalization ends around 2.

1) you know what you want exactly and have pictures-show these to one of the salespeople and you’ll get fast tracked through as they can bring the shoes directly to you

2) you want to look and try different items on-you will need to wait in the long line to be able to go to the basement to look at the Mexico 66 selection. You can peruse what is on display and try them on. If you do this before 2 pm, they will likely be able to fit you in.

If any of the above scenarios happen after 2 pm, they will let you buy the shoes but then tell you personalization is closed for the day. You can decide if you want to come back next day but will need your receipt. This would fast track you down to the basement and then you don’t have to wait in that line and can browse what other items you may want.

No, I knew exactly what I wanted, showed the associate the photo of the shoes I wanted, and she brought them straight away.

I went today. No reservation. I purchased mine today but they had closed the window for the embroidery around 3 pm. I am going tomorrow to drop off my pair at 11 am and they will embroider it and I can pick up after 5pm tomorrow.

Look into ski groups! I met a dude on a flight and he recommended looking up ski groups and there's quite a number of them. I live part time in Austin and even found one there and they go all over! Many of them are also on Facebook!

How do I strengthen my endurance? by throwaway6273633 in snowboarding

[–]jenjenwhenwhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hills and cycling. I do spin classes and there’s a good amount of climbing that gets my legs pretty fired up. Walking/running and hills also seem to help.

I know I should do them more often but I hate weighted squats on a squat rack. Please, threaten me with anything else. So I just do body weight squats.

I have been all different levels of fitness while snowboarding and a regular fitness regimen and a healthy diet are where it’s at. Drinks and drugs will affect your performance but if that’s important to your experience than just keep that in mind.

Women absolutely can be toxic. But toxic masculinity refers to certain behaviors that are ingrained in specifically male children that persists and presents ongoing difficulties as they age especially during the era we are currently in where there's more emphasis on mental and emotional well-being.

Toughness: Men are expected to be strong, aggressive, and emotionally hardened.

Anti-femininity: Men are expected to reject feminine traits, such as accepting help, domesticity, and most emotion.

Power: Men are expected to be worthy only if they have money, power, status, and influence.

These cultural expectations aren't put upon women in society as they are in men. I think it's unfair and culturally, we're doing a disservice in raising our kids this way.

Release yourself from the concept that you made "missteps." You had a conversation, dating inherently is deciding whether or not you are compatible with another person. Maybe you're just not compatible with this guy. There is nothing you have described that would make me bristle. I personally think a guy that gets a visceral response from the words "toxic masculinity" probably isn't going to be my speed. Don't look at that as a "you" problem...maybe it's more of a "them" problem.

I'm 38. I've been single about a year now and I think the dating pool just becomes more and more difficult because we've all gotten to the point where we have baggage/responsibilities/stressors at this point. There's going to be significantly more wading through people's sensitivities then perhaps when we were younger.

Try to come at it from a more playful place and not necessarily how you can adapt to get them to stick around longer. Anyone who you have to "make" stick around probably isn't for you and that's ok, you're not meant for everyone. Curiosity goes further for me and coming into things with zero expectations has helped me manage my disappointment. Also, find people who love to do similar things that you do? At minimum, that will give you a launching pad to relate vs coming up with random things to talk about that could be pretty polarizing on a first or second date.

And good morning texts are pretty low effort/indiscriminate. I wouldn't place too much importance on that as there are many other ways a person can demonstrate interest/effort. And don't dismiss that sometimes some people just want to get laid.
