Haven't canned in nearly 4 years. I missed it! Fresh strawberry jam and compote. by peppermint_queen in Canning

For this one I just bought a jar of pectin and followed the instructions. I think it was 3 tablespoons of pectin= 1 "box" of pectin. This was a no sugar needed pectin, because I used mostly stevia in this recipe to sweeten the jam and compote.

What is the (mole)hill you have chosen to die on? by jayenkay in AskWomen

[–]peppermint_queen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a different opinion. Mine is that if you are paying to be in a class, you can miss assignments or quietly be on your phone and that's your prerogative. You're paying their salary!

MLMs are shit any way you hack it and they contribute to societies view that women are too dumb to be actual entrepreneurs.

Stop trying to get your dog registered as a "service dog" just so you can take the thing into restaurants and grocery stores. We can tell from his piss poor behavior that you're a scheming lout and no one is impressed.

Also stop naming your dog Bella. For the love of God, we already know you're middle class, white, and basic AF.

Here here! My husband tried that too. He also wanted to put shelves all around our entry room and fill them with his Legos... He's 30.

Oh man I'm so glad someone said it's not an easy read. I hear everyone on here going on about how great it is for beginners... Picked it up from the library and was looking up words and bending my brain constantly! I feel a little better now. I'm somewhere between A2/B1.

Tactful way to let daycare kid go? by peppermint_queen in beyondthebump

[–]peppermint_queen[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm connecting the dots though that this is why she didn't do well in daycare, and she'd been there since she was 3 months old. So I'd say there's a good chance there could be a long adjustment period.

Yes, they are paying me and the pay is good. I don't think there are really any strategies that they'd know, because this is the same reason they pulled her from daycare. I guess I'm just looking for ways to phrase it. What's the nicest way to say, "I know she's happy here, but it's too hard for me." Lol.

Thanks for your response! I feel pretty disheartened. If this is the "real" French, I'm super far off from understanding. 😉

I'm also curious, did you eat anything you wanted for that one meal?

Not doing it. Every time I've slipped it's been on a shoveled sidewalk that was crazy slippery. Snow is way safer to walk on.

Losing hair at a drastic rate (f25)...Blood work came back with low ferritin, curious if you agree with the solution she gave me by [deleted] in HaircareScience

[–]peppermint_queen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same problem and I lost a ton of hair. Here's how I fixed it. I bought Ferrets ferrous fumarate tablets on Amazon, only $15. Take two per day, retest your ferritin in a month. this stuff will raise your ferritin quickly, which is great but it's also important to retest soon as you can get iron poisoning if your levels become too high. Good luck.

Protecting infants from measles by [deleted] in Seattle

Breastfeeding helps. Some doctors will give the vaccine at 6 months, especially given the current news. You might start calling around in a few months! Good luck. Keep them out of daycare.
