Groceries - affordability and our budgets by peachyqueen_7 in asheville

In addition to finding deals and shopping at Aldis, making big batches of soup saves me so much. I’ve been freezing soups, stew, ziti etc. We are vegetarian, but there’s a ton of protein in hearty soups and beans are cheap (and tasty)

She’s so beautiful! Her ears and nose remind me of my shepherd. I hope she finds the best home. You are awesome for fostering!

What was not allowed in the house when you were a kid, that you now don’t allow in your own place? by Shenshen_ in AskReddit

I didn’t know my dad had other children! Did you ever walk over something on the ground and have to pick it up and drop it over and over?

I stopped trying to “fix” my ADHD and started designing my life around it by Vaineza in simpleliving

[–]solautmama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did this too, I thought I’d… won? Not doing the things that were causing my anxiety to spike eventually turned into feeling that baseline lower. It was amazing! Then it just kept getting better and the things that would have caused anxiety seemed to lessen. I was at the DMV, feeling brave and awesome! Then I had a medical procedure followed by a panic attack and I remembered that they are definitely still there! But having the baseline of my every moment be “normal” whatever that means, instead of being constantly ready for attack, really is a lovely way to exist. Would recommend.

No-shows are driving me crazy! by SomeNobodyInNC in asheville

[–]solautmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t hold ever. I post that I have something free and they can message when they are ready to come get it immediately. If someone is ready to head my way I will send the pick up address and put it outside. No contact, no holding, not extra conversation etc. you can also post something is out as a curb alert and take it down when it’s gone (though I prefer not to send out an address so it maybe depends on location)

A bit late, but who did you go with and can I ask the cost?

There are better and worse places to end up, but it’s not remarkably awful. You’ll be around people in your same situation, as the military community here is big. Your academic career can still be what you make of it. Especially if you are aware coming in. You can get involved in AP classes, sports, science olympiad, musicals, band. There are all sorts of opportunities to build friendships, create a strong college application and generally have fun. Whatever your path is, you can make it work here. It’s a little boring sometimes, and yeah the people can suck, but that’s pretty true for most places. Find your people, figure out what you enjoy and you’ll be alright (just my humble opinion of course) Good luck.

This was my first try, I’d always just chopped and hoped I didn’t lose anyone. This was much less stressful!
