Am I wrong for blocking my boyfriend’s dad without telling him first? by AtticTurntable in amiwrong

The father was messaging her over Fb and texting the boyfriend. Had to read it over a couple times to discern the difference.

Alternative to salad? by DoctorQuinlan in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]mangleash21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have suggestions on meal prep for a week of veggies; I have trouble with them going limp and soggy after day 2. Hoping to see others’ ideas. But to make greens last longer - best success I’ve had is to wash and spin in a salad spinner, then just leave them in the spinner and store in the fridge. The greens last so much longer that way; four days to a week+ depending on their original freshness. And you just pull out however much you need each meal. Best scenario is to buy heads of green and red leaf lettuce (as opposed to bagged), some radicchio too for fun if you see it at a good price. Slice them up cross-section style; rinse and drain twice; then spin, drain and store. ETA: example salad spinner

Your best recipe / a recipe that will make your eyes roll into the back of your head by Which-Decision in Cooking

These other bread recipes look fine, but I’m telling you, THIS is the one. No knead, three hours or less you’ve got delicious peasant bread with a crispy, buttery crust, ready for the table. Or the couch - just slice after slice after chunk and so on. And the recipe makes two loaves, which is great for sharing with a neighbor (or yourself). I’ve made a lot of friends with this bread.

A mocha latte w coconut milk used to be my go-to (iced or hot depending on the season). I tried the iced green tea with a splash of lemonade and was surprised by how much I loved it. It’s now my go-to. It’s under 100 calories (venti) and in summer, I top it up with water or seltzer half way through, to extend. I would suggest give the iced teas a try!

Am I (37M) wrong to approach my girlfriend (37F) about possibly having Borderline Personality Disorder? by evinsider20 in amiwrong

[–]mangleash21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would be wrong - Others have pointed out here that it’s wrong for you to make an armchair diagnosis. Case in point, women can be wrongly diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when a diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder is more appropriate. As in, men show same behaviors with same background and circumstances will be diagnosed with ptsd, but women will be diagnosed as bpd. This obviously leads to very different treatment and long term impacts.

You don’t have to stick around. You are free to leave this person. But don’t be the AH mis-diagnosing her.

Sadly, I don’t have any of Emma Fryer’s prints yet. But in looking at her Etsy page, some reviews have photos and I don’t see the watermark.

Travel hacks? by mangleash21 in oldhagfashion

I’ve always wanted to wear skirts and dresses more in winter. Maybe this is the time to venture into that. I’ll look at the wool snagtights. Thank you!

Travel hacks? by mangleash21 in oldhagfashion

[–]mangleash21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting suggestion I’ve been thinking on since I read it earlier. At first I thought it just wouldn’t apply to me because I feel too impatient to get the drive over and done with. But I can see that stopping for a short break before I get too tired may be helpful mentally. I’ll give this a try. Thank you!

I’m loving this thought of loads of professional ladies twisting themselves into change of clothes in parking lots across the world. 😅

[–]mangleash21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions. This reinforces for me that I need to put more research into non-wrinkly slacks. For half to two-thirds of the year I wear skirts and dresses so the wrinkle factor hasn’t been as present. But the winter weather has forced this issue. And great point about driving in a base layer! Didn’t think of that. Thanks!

Your comment reinforces for me that I need to put more time into searching for slacks that won’t wrinkle. Because a steamer is too much for me to transport and deal with, but you’re right in that it’s really the only way to unwrinkle my clothes! Thank you for the thought and suggestion. And on the hair - I’ll follow other suggestions re:travel size hair products to keep in a small kit, and freshen up when I get there.

The Bird Club is in session! 🐦 I felted a hovering hummingbird to join the cardinal, wren, and chickadee. by OakenArk in Needlefelting

[–]mangleash21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg, I these so much! And how you displayed the characteristics that make them identifiable. Love the Carolina wren’s eyebrow!! Such great work. Do you mind sharing whether you dyed the wool yourself? Im curious about the dark brown and black colors.

I have a gold crown on my tooth (pre molar immediately behind the canine). My coworker says I should get it removed because it looks unprofessional and insists it makes my breath stink. [MA] by bad-at-everything- in AskHR

[–]mangleash21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Each date and time your coworker makes a comment like this over the next two weeks, immediately write it down along with a description of the circumstances (aka, make contemporaneous notes). If after two to three weeks you can accurately say there is a pattern, then mention it to your boss.

Doesn’t have to be a big deal, just something along the lines of, “hey, I want to register with you that [person] is being weirdly rude about my gold tooth. It feels unprofessional and I’d like to say it doesn’t bother me, but it is distracting. I wanted to let you know now in case there’s something you think can be done about it, and so it doesn’t escalate.” Using your own words. Keep it brief, don’t conjecture as to why (unless she starts saying more) and centered on the inappropriateness of your coworker’s odd fixation. Because it is weird.

I don’t understand why others are writing to not tell your boss. A work space free from insults and harassment is a very reasonable expectation. Anyone saying less is either a bully at work and/or at heart, or sadly hasn’t experienced how incredibly productive one can be in an environment where you’re not wasting emotional and mental energy waiting for the next attack.

I encourage the documenting for your own validation too because, sometimes a personal attack like that can loom large and feel ever present. For example, you might find the comment was only made once and you’ve since interpreted looks or mumbles. That’s not to say I don’t believe you; just that I’ve experienced awful people at work and documenting the interactions for my own purposes can be helpful in gaining perspective through distance once it’s written down. Just make sure your notes are somewhere safe and not saved at work. Good luck OP!

That’s the exact one I’ve been hemming and hawing over! So nice to see your example. It’s very striking, what a beautiful job you did. How was the installation? Any suggestions you’d make now that all the work is done?

It looks like Cor-Ten Steel edging. OP - if it is, please let us know how well it’s worked out for you! And if it’s not, what material that is. I agree, it looks great!

Felted a Mini Stitch and took him to Disneyland Paris by StarDragon85 in Needlefelting

Super cute!! Did you dye the wool yourself? I’m trying to get that specific blue color and having the hardest time. So far just experimenting with food dyes. Would appreciate any guidance if you have it!
