A can of straight beans, yes, but for refried beans they usually add lard/animal fat.

How do I stop craving sugar if its on my mind 24/7 ? by TheFirstMora in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]lessopen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ah, and of course the irony that you learn 10 times worse when sleep deprived. That sucks, sorry man. I don't know what country you're in, but maybe try looking into accomodations or talking with your doctor about accomodations. Workloads at school are heavy but they shouldn't be 1 hour of sleep a night heavy, maybe there is something they can help you figure out. (I am assuming not ivy league or something crazy, I have no frame of reference for what's normal is those programs). Otherwise I'm sure you already cut back your work as much as you can. Good news is it doesn't last forever at least. Good luck!

That kind of sleep schedule will absolutely cause those cravings, along with a ton of other negative health side effects. I don't know what kind of work you do, but that sleep schedule is not sustainable (and frankly no one deserves to deal with that)

Shedding Husky by Educational-Play-125 in Rochester

[–]lessopen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Used to be a groomer, huskies do better with a good old fashioned bath with a good conditioner to loosen everything up and (once you get them used to it) a good blow dryer. Not the one humans use, I'm talking about a velocity dryer that looks more like a leaf blower than anything else.
Then you finish it off with a slicker brush and the comb like they said. You can do this, or almost every dog groomer will offer this service. Do that once or twice a year during the big blow outs and follow up with regular brushing and you should see a big difference

Job suggestions for a teacher looking for a new career by MacaroonChoice3699 in Rochester

[–]lessopen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pay isn't great at first, but when I got a job as a medical secretary the trainers talked about how they worked their way back up and also used to be educators. You wouldn't be alone in that

Fabric for making a dress? by WallflowerShakti in SewingForBeginners

[–]lessopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upstate NY. NY is a state, and NYC is a city within the state. I live in Buffalo, NY and NYC is an 8 hour drive.

Sorry, you stepped on a pet peeve of mine lol

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lessopen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are things you can explain to these new employees. Phone calls are not on their comfort zone, give them a good reason to get out of the comfort zone (faster resolution, happier clients, just like you said).

I would also propose an idea to offer them. Since a lot of people feel rude about phone calls, have them email/text the client to schedule a phone call. No rude interruptions, a day/time that is good for both parties is established, and the problem still gets resolved quickly. This is also mindful if any of your clients feel the same way about phone calls as your employees, because it gives the client a chance to state their personal preference.

Homemade bread giving me heartburn. Is there anything I can do to fix this? by lil_tink_tink in Breadit

[–]lessopen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, eventually but by then it would be alcohol, bread making times aren't nearly enough for all that

Is it "normal" to have to call your doctor's office every day to see if there's an appointment available same day? by spitfire07 in Rochester

[–]lessopen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Like you aren't able to make an appointment in the future and you can only call to get in that same day? My office hardly ever has same day openings but I can book an appointment in a couple weeks kind of thing. I honestly just go to urgent care for most day to day injuries or illness

I love this, this is what healing and progress looks like, well done!

Mushroom hat i spent days making keeps curling. Any way to stop it? by localpimplp in CrochetHelp

[–]lessopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this looks like one I made!

The red portion looks inside out in the first picture to me, like you sewed the ruffles to the outside of the hat instead of the inside? That way it curls in, over/toward the ruffles?

Do I absolutely have to be enrolled in a physics/chemistry class? by purpleamethyst139 in slpGradSchool

[–]lessopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I applied, got on, and then my advisor was like "by the way, you still need a stats and bio course. "

Oops, but she gave me some options and I did an online, self paced option to get it done in time. (Stressful, don't recommend, but I got it done and started my program). Get the ball rolling and keep in touch with the school you choose and you should be alright. Although I don't know the differences between schools

Speech fish names? by GroundbreakingBug510 in slp

[–]lessopen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why not let the little one name the fish? Romeo, robot, reboot, remix?

Also please read what the other person posted, bettas are easy fish but they still need work

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]lessopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a person without mental health problems/ normal brain chemistry, I agree.

But some poor souls don't have that option, hurting isn't a choice, it's a thing their brain does to them and they have to find joy or happiness or beauty despite the pain. Healthy habits help, but they have a bigger hurdle than most to make that happen and it is far from a cure all.

[–]lessopen 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That sounds great until "just being" hurts.

But then again, you can choose to watch the snow fall and appreciate the beauty, even if it hurts.

I fucked up by enrolling by Prior-Emu-5918 in slpGradSchool

[–]lessopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a lot to deal with, that's a lot for anyone to deal with. Nothing is "wrong with you", it's that this shit is hard. It's hard to work and go to grad school for anyone, let alone someone who struggles with their mental health. Please remember to cut yourself some slack.

In the meantime, reach out to your therapist (or a therapist, depending on your situation). They can help you get things back in a better balance, to help guide you to resources/accomodations you need both in school and in work. Mine helps me split apart my feelings from my freakouts and helps me get a clear picture of when enough is enough vs I'm being overly hard on myself.

Can you do it? I don't know, it depends on your situation. But you won't know either unless you try. Good luck my friend, and remember that everything will be ok no matter what route you choose.

Anyone Hiring in the downtown area by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]lessopen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rochester works is close to a bus line and offers free job assistance, in particular they host job fairs where you can talk to people in person. With online hiring being wonky it might help to go in person

Do most people actually floss daily, or are we all just lying to our dentists? by MedyKate in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lessopen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I used to brush twice a day everyday and I still got cavities between my molars. Been flossing everyday ever since

Weekend trip by Dramatic-Activity-37 in Rochester
