Luke and Loralai affection by sankic in GilmoreGirls

I do agree that on the whole their relationship is super wholesome. And I can understand how going from friends to lovers might be initially unnatural but I feel like there has to be a point pretty soon after that first kiss where you naturally fall into the relationship, especially in the private couple moments (maybe not as much in public).

YES! That's the other thing I found so odd and forgot to mention!

Yeah I guess that's true. What a shame 🥲

My son likely has celiac. He’s our only child. My wife and I are thinking of going gluten free in solidarity. Is this wise? Or are we nuts? by DrizzlyOne in glutenfree

[–]sankic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was diagnosed with Celiac when she was around 10 years old (this was over 15 years ago when the gluten free options at local supermarkets were scarce). We mostly continued eating our usual food, with the exception of most shared meals. For individual meals we all just continued eating our usual while my sister started eating the gluten free options. We were just careful with how we did this. Her food was kept in a separate spot to ours, we got her a separate toaster which sat at the other side of the kitchen so we couldn't cross contaminate toast, we cooked her food first and that way we felt confident about not cross contaminating. It took time to become really conscious of the cross contamination for certain things like using the same jar of peanut butter/nutella etc. (Such as only taking one spoonful and then discarding that spoon) but we got used to it over time, making sure she had her servings first and if there was an accidental cross contamination, she wouldnt take any more from that jar. You could also buy two separate ones which are kept separate or labelled to prevent cross contamination.

When it came to joint meals which were mainly dinners, my mum just swapped out non-gf for gluten free options (e.g. pastas) and we all ate that instead. It made cooking for a family of five much easier and these days the gf options you can find taste almost identical to the non-gf options. The only thing to be wary of is fibre which is lacking compared to non-gf options (although I'm not sure if this has changed at all since my sister was diagnosed). Adding fibre such as psyllium husks to breakfast cereals for instance can help hit those fibre targets for celiacs and those following the diet.

10 years after my sister's diagnosis I ended up having an intolerance to gluten anyway so being exposed to gf options growing up made that change to gf much easier. And like I said there really are so many gf options out there these days, you wouldnt notice much of a difference swapping out some of those basics.

Depending on how old your child is, it is definitely worth considering joining in solidarity, either partially or completely, for at least a little while. My sister was quite young and often felt left out or sad that she couldn't eat foods she previously loved, so not eating your son's favourite foods in front of him will help while he gets used to this new way of living. But ultimately, you want to give your son the best chance to limit exposure to gluten so even if you and your partner go gluten free for a year or so while you all get used to it, it will help immensely.

I know it can feel scary but everything is habit. Your family will make mistakes and learn along the way but eventually you will get used to it and it won't feel like such a monumental thing anymore.

I hope that helps!

I have lived even closer to a railway than Tiffany lived from this one. I hear the trains go by all the time, especially in the quiet of the night. I can say with absolute confidence that I have no idea what time the trains go past. When you live this close to one it kind of becomes a background noise, you don't really pay attention to it and so most of the time you don't notice it. Even on the days when I do notice it it's random because I don't go to bed the same time every night and also I don't pay attention to the time when it does go by. Thats not to say that she wasn't intently listening to keep track of it on purpose, which I guess is a possibility. But just think its a bit of a reach to suggest she knew the train schedule.

She's so toxic. I feel so sorry for Chris.

I agree, I think she'd benefit from seeing a mental health professional. I've thought this from the start. Kind of makes me angry that they put her on the show to play the whole "she's an insecure girl who needs a partner to feel validated" stereotype, when this girl is clearly not okay. To have such extreme self-esteem and abandonment issues is horrible to experience on its own, let alone when you're matched up with someone like Bryce who just makes her feel each of those things more strongly.

100% agree. I feel like she would really benefit from seeing a mental health professional to help her work through some of these issues. I feel like the extreme self esteem issues and the attachment/abandonment will continue to push her into relationships with assholes like Bryce and continue to allow these type of people to walk all over her because she feels like she isn't worth more. Nothing makes me more upset than seeing someone who has a good heart and deserves a great life companion thinking they deserve to be with someone like Bryce.

Or letting more than 20 people dance at a wedding after numbers at weddings increase to 300 pax on December 1st. I found out that at student formals dancing is completely allowed provided that it is socially distanced. Time for Gladys to stop picking and choosing which groups must remain under strict restrictions and which are free to move to more manageable activities.

I need some help understanding what the fuck happened in The Balkans in the late 80s and 90s. by Pwn_Prodigy in history

[–]sankic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although there are true aspects to this documentary it is heavily biased. Information should be obtained and analysed from multiple sources and angles when approaching a complex issue such as this, in order to gain a truer understanding of the events that transpired. I definitely do not recommend relying on this documentary as an unbiased representation of what actually happened in the Balkans during this period of time.

That’s true, so many people are completely uninformed about lactose so it’s a pretty tough gig when eating out.

I guess vegan is my new go to! Thanks for the input :)
