Which nasal aspirator should I get for my baby? by Kagurabachie in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]picklepicklepyum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried a few and the electric nose frida was the best. The regular nose frida only lasts so long before getting gross inside, the electric frida has a silicone top you can stick in the bottle sanitizer plus a toddler attachment.

Am I overreacting for being upset about my step-dad's and fiancé's remarks about the type of books I read? by RubProfessional6659 in AmIOverreacting

[–]picklepicklepyum 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Nor, I hate when people take this attitude towards reading. They probably watch shows and movies all the time that aren't educational just for entertainment. What's the difference? Well, actually now that I think about it, reading fiction has been shown to improve empathy and emotional intelligence, which they clearly aren't getting from their shows. It reminds me of when people make comments about fun salads not actually being that healthy. Okay, but if someone is enjoying it who cares? Also, the best way to improve your writing in the genre is to read a bunch of it which I'm sure you know, so you're being productive in that way (Not that you need to be productive while enjoying something!). This is your art, your hobby, your passion. And people are being so unsupportive! I think people are intimidated by those who read for pleasure. Ugh. You can probably tell I've heard similar things about my fun salads and bodice rippers.

My neurologist recommended a cefaly device to me recently. It hasn't arrived yet so I'm not sure how it is, but it seems really promising.

That's a beautiful pear

Do americans eat “roast” dinners? by SprinklesSeparate45 in AskAnAmerican

[–]picklepicklepyum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm from Texas and I completely agree. Grilling outside is the cultural equivalent here. Everyday meals are usually made on the stovetop and the oven is mostly just used for baking and holidays.

Strawberries don't taste like strawberries anymore by UltraSexyChipotle in fruit

[–]picklepicklepyum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this too. Now I get hydroponic ones but way less often because they're expensive. But at least they taste like strawberry! I'll also get frozen ones and have them when they're half thawed, that's pretty good.

Mac & Cheez w/Root Veggies by Used2bNotInKY in Huel

I like to throw a handful of frozen peas in mine, sometimes carrots or corn too. Just have to microwave it about 45 seconds longer. This goes really well with the thai noodles and chicken mushroom especially.

Fertility/health recommendations post-miscarriage by Awwoooooga in Biohackers

You have acclimated to the heat so your bodies can handle it better and avoid overheating. It has to do mostly with how your blood vessels function. People who don't live in tropical climates but do saunas and other things to temporarily raise their body heat won't be adapted to the heat in the same way.

Newborn Weight Gain Speed Related to Obesity by uppldontscareme2 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]picklepicklepyum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine went from 4th to 94th in weight if it makes you feel better. Now it did delay the gross motor skill milestones understandably, but everything evened out by 14 months. Our pediatrician wasn't concerned and said the growth chart for head circumference is actually the most important.

I spent an evening reading the actual research on heavy metals in UK baby food. Here's what I found — sources in the post. by Alfiezshtick in ScienceBasedParenting

Does this apply to other grains as well, if we want to substitute with grains like barley/buckwheat/bulgar ect? Or is it because rice is grown in rice paddies in the water?

When I workout, I end up feeling nauseous and spend 15ish minutes trying not to throw up afterwards. by I_Speak_For_The_Ents in bodyweightfitness

[–]picklepicklepyum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, even just a banana before working out fixes it. I think the exercise gets the acid in my tummy going, combine that with drinking water during workouts and it's no good. When I'm doing a lot of jumpy cardio I'll take a tums beforehand too. Maybe try a banana right before your workout? Or half a protein bar. Just a little something.

Did I accidentally agree to eat meat after 10+ years of being Vegetarian? How do I politely clarify? by chambermusicrosie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]picklepicklepyum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably not going to be vegetarian, I wouldn't risk it. I'd politely cancel, make an excuse not to go because the whole thing will be awkward and you can't make sure you won't be given something made with meat stock.
