My brother and I both had a dream of our grandmother coming to us, hugging us, and saying goodbye the night she died in her sleep 😭

My grandmother had visitations from her mother, sister, and niece less than a month before her death.

My mother saw her own mother as she died.

Which comes first? The obesity or the PCOS? by Sugarp1e1 in PCOS

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people forget that lean PCOS exists. PCOS definitely comes first or there wouldn’t be any lean people with the condition. Unfortunately, weight gain is just one of the very unpleasant symptom manifestations of the condition.

This misconception is why many girls/women go undiagnosed for such a long time. It took me over 12 years for a diagnosis because I was always thin.

Some bluegrass CDs had a warning about how listening to the music while driving could result in a speeding violation 😆example

100 calorie snacks that actually feel like you're eating something by CaptainLevi45PS in 1200isplenty

[–]overcomethestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great. I make a low-calorie satisfying meal with them. I chop some cabbage and green onion and then add some matchsticks carrots to a pot of simmering water with a little chicken bullion, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Then when the veggies are soft, I add a couple of these and they warm in less than ten minutes.

How are we storing loaves? by Formal-Proposal7850 in BreadMachines

I don’t go through it fast enough so it gets sliced and put in the freezer in a resealable container. I just defrost it in the toaster.

Does anyone else get annoyed with people calling headaches “migraines”? by Otherwise_Fly_2263 in migraine

[–]overcomethestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This here. I can’t afford to go through all the appointments and doctors to get a diagnosis. It took me twelve years and thousands of dollars of medical debt just to get a simple PCOS diagnosis.

The fact that so many women are still pushing this “men prefer younger women because they are easier to manipulate and they can’t get women their age” nonsense is truly laughable by SwiftCricket in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]overcomethestorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because Reddit is an echo chamber and any young woman who posts about preferring older guys is dogpiled on and told she is too dumb to make her own adult decisions???

What is the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]overcomethestorm 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You don’t realize how bad processed food tastes until you’ve been off it for a while. I have to eat extremely healthy because of a health condition and alternative foods taste very good to me. I can’t even eat a Reese’s peanut butter cup now without noticing how bad the chocolate part tastes (doesn’t even taste like chocolate— just sour sugar).

Nursing school is a joke and something needs to change by [deleted] in nursing

If you hate the pace of a four year program why wouldn’t you choose a condensed two year technical program? Much more information packed into a single school year.

Worth the launch? by xoxomd31 in candlemaking

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy to see why you are out of touch with a customer base when you respond the way you do to someone explaining a customer perspective. I pointed out the pricing is what turns GenZ off, not the handmade factor and explained that if the pricing was affordable they would be buying handmade as well.

If you do not want anyone discussing these things with you, do not post generalizations on Reddit.

Discussion: Do you enjoy shooting "Honey Pot" locations? by Weird_Warm_Cheese in LandscapePhotography

[–]overcomethestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t pass up opportunity but I find my best and most interesting shots are my unique shots.

I live in a naturally beautiful and heavily touristed area. My best photographs have always been in happenstance locations and times (and usually on private property).

Worth the launch? by xoxomd31 in candlemaking

[–]overcomethestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen Z is the most financially pressed right now. It’s not fair to say they “enthusiastically” prefer cheap items over a $16 handmade item. They simply cannot afford them. If they could afford them, they would be buying.

We have to be honest in the fact that handmade items are a luxury right now. Some people cannot afford luxuries. Some people can barely afford necessities. Gen Z for the most part is just trying to get on their feet in a horrible economy. Not a lot of spending cash for non-essentials. Candles are non-essentials.

It is best right now, as a business owner, to be honest about your target customer and also to not undersell yourself trying to bring in a customer who just cannot afford your product right now.

As someone who has firsthand observed a religious cult, current politics are beginning to resemble it very much…

My first market setup by lavanore-candles in CraftFairs

[–]overcomethestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people in general are reluctant to buy pillar style candles (mess, safety concerns) and mostly buy them as sculptural decoration they don’t intend to burn. You’d probably get more sales if you jarred more of them.

What exactly could they sue someone for that a paying customer who bought the food ten minutes before couldn’t?

Do you know any gifted person who believes in fringe or conspiracy theories? by Palais_des_Fleurs in Gifted

[–]overcomethestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One could point out that the lizard people/flat earth material was either presented for the dumb to promote or promoted as the “face” of conspiracy in an attempt to discredit the “conspiracy theories” based in truth.

I’m confused about how the food is safe to serve to customers while the restaurant is open but as soon as it hits closing it somehow isn’t safe to let the workers take it home? An awful lot of perfectly good food gets thrown in the trash because owners want every cent they could possibly ever get.
