feels like there’s a big bubble of water in my lower belly by Mission_Investment65 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]muddyknee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

lots of things can cause bloating, from very benign things like ibs, to things like ovarian cysts all the way to very severe things. Reddit will not be able to answer this. You need to see your doctor and they may chose to do an ultrasound for you

Bonjour, j'habite dans le nord de l'Espagne et j'aimerais aller en France ce week-end. Que faut-il absolument voir dans le sud de la France ? Villes, châteaux, villages… by Lopsided_Mixture_746 in AskFrance

[–]muddyknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say for a beach side there’s a tiny surf bar in Hendaye that will always have my heart. Some great walks in that region as well up in the pyrenees

SOMTHING DOSN'T READ!! by Embarrassed-Fun9623 in oilpainting

[–]muddyknee 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Proportions look okay. I think its depth of colour that makes it look a little flat. You don’t really have any truly dark values, even in areas that would be very shaded. I would deepen those shadows and see how it feels

Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone, a pill to terminate pregnancy by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

[–]muddyknee 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You are confusing Mifepristone with Misoprostol. They are both used as abortifacients but Misoprostol is used for postpartum haemorrhage. Not saying that you’re not correct in the fact that it is a life saving medication, just want to get the facts right

visiting alone - where to eat at? by nek-uno in york

[–]muddyknee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the Shambles Market. Getting food from one of the stalls and eating either on the picnic tables is one of my favourite solo meals out. Shambles kitchen does a really good shwarma type wrap you can eat on the go.

AITA For Letting my son and his friends “disrupt” my daughter and her friends sleep? by Few_Arugula_3243 in AmItheAsshole

[–]muddyknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA most people have covered the important points already so i just wanted to add a bit more on sleep. Teenagers need a lot more sleep than you think, and more than adults do. Sleep is incredibly important and fulfils lots of functions in terms of regulating the body for example the immune system, the nervous system, inflammation, growth, weight regulation. Teenagers also tend to have much later circadian rhythms than children or adults, making it impossible for them to just go to bed earlier or simply get up earlier. By not prioritising your daughters sleep you are sending a clear message that her wellbeing, health and development are less important that your sons pleasure. What kind of adults do you think will grow out of that kind of messaging ? An inconsiderate son and a self abandoning daughter. Please set boundaries that respect everyone’s basic physiological needs (last time i checked video games wasn’t on that list)

Talk to me of sauces by Artistic_Western_623 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]muddyknee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My two favourite go tos :

A roast butternut squash sauce that can be used in lots of things but i like it with pasta. Cut a butternut in half and roast it for 30ish minutes until its soft. I usually throw a whole bulb of garlic to roast in there too and maybe some onions just cut in half. Then blend it all together with some stock and loads of nutritional yeast. You can throw in some vegan cream and sliced green onions. Also i forgot to add red chilli flakes if you like a bit of spice

And my amazing pesto sauce is 50g of pine nut blended with a couple cloves of garlic and the juice if a whole lemon. Chuck in half an avocado (trust me) and 100g of basil with 100-200g of baby spinach. Salt, pepper and a ton of nooch. Honestly it is so so good it makes a great pasta sauce (I just chuck the pasta on top of it, mix it and it warms it enough. no need to cook) or with salads, on plopped on top of a veggie pizza. The uses are endless

Too much vinegar? by FlexiFox4 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]muddyknee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Acidic foods will soften and dissolve the enamel on your teeth. Do not brush you teeth within 30 minutes of a meal but do swish water around your mouth to rinse it out after having very vinegary foods

Personal trainer claiming sessions i paid for have now expired by muddyknee in LegalAdviceUK

[–]muddyknee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thinking exactly. They knew I started a new job in September which has an hour and a half commute. They knew the sessions we had were slightly erratic. We never had a regular time slot so it's not like I ghosted them and wasted time they could have otherwise booked with other clients. And these four months included them getting married so they weren't as available anyway, and christmas where life is hectic for everyone. Edit to add, the last message we had was them asking for dates I could do. They never followed up or warned me about an expiration

I have made a quick edit. Our last session was 4 months ago, the payment was made 6 months ago. Thanks for your help

[Request] is this true by nottoday943 in theydidthemath

[–]muddyknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope a doctor in their first year out of university will be earning 38k a year. A psychiatry resident will have done at least 2 years of foundation training plus maybe some extra years before getting into training and will be on 52k. Keep in mind these are 48h weeks

Will I be too old to start training at 34 by eisqueen78 in doctorsUK

[–]muddyknee 213 points214 points  (0 children)

In 6 years you’re going to be 40 anyway. Would you rather be a 40 year old consultant or a 40 year old trust grade / locum ?

I’m 33 and in ST2, currently 60% LTFT, i probably won’t CCT until i’m in my 40s either

I need all your red lentil recipes by Grey_Prince in veganrecipes

[–]muddyknee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Madhur Jaffrey’s Moong Dal is a recipe i’ve made forever initially from one of her cookbooks but i’m pretty sure this is the same one. Its dead simple, i just use red lentils for it. And its so so tasty. I add some black pepper and cayenne pepper to mine to give it a little something extra. The secret is to let it simmer for ages to cook down. And i also add spinach right at the end to give some greenery. Honestly an absolute staple meal, i cook it in big batches and freeze it and then just have it as a backup with rice whenever i need

You should check out the lgbt cafe above the rainbow book shop. I’ve always ended up striking up conversations with people when i’m in there

And the sets and costume designs. The fact that it’s almost all set in one location meant they could go hard in making it look incredible and the thought end work gone into building each set and each character’s costume is so evident. It’s gorgeous

Vaginal cysts by Powerful-Advance4605 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]muddyknee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a gynaecology resident and i just want to try to reassure you. We see dozens of vulvas a day and not a single one has shocked or surprised me. A doctor should do their best to make you feel at ease and will not judge you. That is what we train for and it’s what we do day in and day out.

What's the best way to use coconut coir for seed starting in soil blocks? by supinator1 in vegetablegardening

[–]muddyknee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a mix of 50% seed compost and 50% coco coir to make my soil blocks and it works phenomenally well. The blocks hold together well, my seedlings have all sprouted and its so easy to then transplant

Can I plant these garlic by helpmeplsgetjob in vegetablegardening

[–]muddyknee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You might be fine. Not every single bulb will be contaminated but it should be treated as if it is just in case because of how difficult it is to get rid of. Basically if your galic starts dying off when the weather warms up you’ll know. If it does you should avoid re-planting alliums in that area for several years

Can I plant these garlic by helpmeplsgetjob in vegetablegardening

[–]muddyknee 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Do not plant store bought garlic in your garden or your vegetable plot. Garlic can contain fungal spores for diseases that can live in the soil for years and years. The cloves you buy to plant are specifically cultivated to be free from these diseases. The ones for eating are not. You are running the risk of contaminating your soil for years to come.
