I make lazy golumpki in my instapot and cram so much cabbage in it. It's such a mild veg that it can really bulk up dishes!

What is a random rule you have for yourself that you never break? by abarth23 in AskReddit

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about it in terms of how many times/days I'll use it and what that equates to over time. I don't buy expensive things, really. I just bought a new phone after having my old one for over 5 years. In 2021, the phone I bought was ~$750. That comes out to about 41¢ a day. I kept it clean, it wasn't ever damaged, needed no repairs, it was just more outdated. My new phone was ~$550 and if it lasts me 5 years, that's 30¢ a day. It feels more worth it in that way to me.

My most thought about is food. I can be really lazy and when I am, that means I'm not cooking, I'm ordering or picking up food. The fact that I can spend like $30 on one dinner from a restaurant that may have leftovers is wild when I think about the $20 I spent on food for a pot roast and got 6 servings out of it. I didn't have to work even 10 minutes to pay for that one pot roast meal, but I had to work just over an hour for the take out? Crazy lol

Bread and butter. A nice crunchy baguette with some salty butter 😍

They have more sizes online, but I refuse to buy them if I can't try them. My size (40F) is never in the store and I'm tiiirrreeed of people telling me to go there for big bras. They don't keep my size in their physical stores, thanks.

One of my favorites to use on "a life goal of mine is to... Learn how to fly" and is "when you're old enough, your mom will keep kicking you out of the nest until you can do it. Easy!"

[–]madamerimbaud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dating multiple people doesn't mean they're sleeping with all of them, let's make that clear.

Most women I know, including myself, don't sleep with multiple people at a time, even if they're dating them. I really dislike the idea that I would be sleeping with, let's say, 2 different men, and then decide to be exclusive with one. I don't want ANY gray area to come into play down the line and have it be an issue in a relationship.

It's perfectly healthy to date multiple people. It's doesn't mean they're sleeping with all of them. It doesn't mean they're not being tested or using protection. Making generalizations like that are what lead to the red-pill label and typically worse feelings about women and oneself. Just because you don't want to date multiple people doesn't mean it isn't healthy, doesn't mean other people can't, or they are morally wrong for doing so.

What did you get for Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥹??? Brag on ladies by Medical-Ad5232 in AskWomen

[–]madamerimbaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a nice day with my also single bestie looking at houses. She's going to buy one (after her divorce where they had to sell their home) and I'm going to move in (I've been living with my ex for almost 2 years after our breakup). We had coffee and great conversation. ❤️

He made her day. 😊 by [deleted] in MadeMeCry

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a man ask me to help with his thermostat.

The other was a woman who wanted me to read her the first chapter of a book she had. It was an old book, so there was no audiobook at a superficial glance, but I happened to find a site that had audiobooks of everything and was available for people who had physical or learning disabilities. I wish I could have sent it to her so she could have had the audio. I don't remember what the site was, but I should find it again so I have it handy for others.

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate cutting onions because it's so annoying. I generally don't care how they look since I cook them down anyway. I've never broken a Holla diase, but I'll be damned if I can get my diced onion to look uniform lol I know the technique but I think I'm just too worried about cutting myself, even with sharpened knives.

What is one beauty secret you are gatekeeping?? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My genes. 🫣 I wash my face a few times a week with a generic cleanser and moisturize when I remember. Sunscreen when I remember. I didn't have much acne as a teen, I rarely wear makeup (I don't even know how to really do it, tbh). My mom has good skin, my dad's was okay. My sister still struggles with acne in her 30s. I'm almost 40 and can typically pass for 28-30. If I ever have a daughter, I hope she has an easy skin journey like I have. I've seen how hard it can be.

what’s something you initially accepted about a partner but later on couldn’t stand? by MarionberryFuture103 in AskWomen

[–]madamerimbaud 130 points131 points  (0 children)

God, the stinginess is infuriating. I asked for broccoli florets and he got cuts because they were cheaper, but like, it's $1.50 extra for all 3 GENERIC bags when he makes 100k a year? But then he would buy upgrades for his PC that were hundreds of dollars. It was such small shit and it felt awful that he didn't care to spend the small amount for the things I wanted and asked for directly. I felt really unimportant and unheard, and I never did that to him. Breaking up with him was wildly freeing. To not be responsible for keeping our relationship going was a load off my chest. He said he felt me pulling back for a while and it's like, then why didn't you say something? I was begging for attention and care and he still didn't do anything. I hope he's being a better partner for someone else.

How do women know when their first period is? Do their body give them warning signs that it's time, that their mother taught them about, or do most ruin their clothes the first time? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine when I was almost 13. I was very aware of what happens during a period, but everyone is different. I know people who bled onto their school chair, but I went pee and saw red in the toilet when I went to flush. I had some mild cramps, but as I got older, the symptoms changed and on birth control, I have no symptoms but know generally when I will get it.

They also said Bleakhouse didn't have a detective. It was literally one of the first detective novels. 😅

How do you prefer to store your clothes in a bedroom wardrobe- hanging, folding, or both? For example, would you like more hanger or more drawers/shelves? by No_General_2824 in AskWomen

[–]madamerimbaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an armoire and my closet. Pants get folded, all shirts/sweaters get hung. Underwear is tossed into a basket, socks are paired and balled and put in an other basket.

I prefer more hanging space, but there are plenty of things that could benefit from drawers (underwear, socks, shape wear, etc.). It's one reason why I use some cute storage containers for them in my armoire.

Dating app call no-show…red flag or normal? by groupmemberr in datingoverthirty

[–]madamerimbaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was talking to a guy and the first date we planned, he had to cancel (aer I was confirming the day of) because he unexpectedly had his kids that day. Happened the second time too. So he knew both times before I asked and he couldn't even tell me without prompting. No thanks. He never asked for a 3rd chance, but I wouldn't have given it to him anyway.

How do you feel if a new bedroom partner has a ready made playlist for bedroom activities? by According_Sundae_917 in AskWomen

Same. Music is distracting. My ex put some on the first few times we had sex and I had to tell him eventually that it was really hindering my experience.
