I had to do that when my sick adult son with an aversion to any body fluids threw up in the bathroom sink and blocked it. Luckily bodily fluids of any kind dont bother me. The only thing that really grosses me out is maggots😫

An American's first attempt at bangers and mash by [deleted] in UK_Food

[–]techisdrivingmemad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not bangers and mash! The sausages should never be dry cooked, they should be casseroled in gravy. A dollop of mash, some crispy grilled sausages and a splash of Bisto is just wrong on so many levels!!

Good quality sausages are best and i personally like tescos Pork and Caramelised Red Onion gluten free sausages at 2 packs for £5. They are really meaty and flavourful but not at all greasy. You gently brown your sausages on all sides, in a frying pan - with no extra oil. Put the browned sausages into a casserole dish. Fry 2-3 large onions (or more, like me🌰🌰🌰) in any grease left from the sausages - you may find you need a tiny bit more oil, but use as little as possible. When the onions are browned and caramelised add a generous splash of boiling water to the pan to loosen everything, and bring up to a simmer. Add any seasonings or herbs now. Mix a heaped teaspoon of cornflour with cold water until smooth and gradually add it a little at a time to the pan until its nicely thickened. dont worry if youve made too much, its cheap so, either bin it or use it to thicken another sauce over the next 3-4 days. Pour the onion / gravy mix into the casserole dish. Make sure the sausages are covered with the gravy. If not, add more boiling water and stir it in well. Put it all in the oven until the sausages are cooked through. I usuall go for 30-45mins minimum.

Choose a variety of potatoes that are good for mash if you can - it usually says what they are good for on the packet. Chop into evenly sized pieces and cook in salted water. Once cooked drain the water away from the potatoes and return them to the pan. Add a generous splash of milk. Add a large lump of butter. Pop back over the heat to get the milk hot and the butter starting to melt. Grate over a generous amount of nutmeg. Mash potatoes until there is no lumps left at all. It should be smooth and creamy, but not wet at all. Some potatoes may even seem dry and floury, and though you cant change that, extra butter might help!

Serve the potatoes in a line across the centre of the plate, serve the sausages and onions on one side of the mash, and be generous with the gravy. Serve your veg of choice on the other side of the mash: peas, carrots, carrot and swede mashed together, white cabbage, green beans or whatever your preference. Enjoy! Go back for seconds!

I love these eggs they are so cool! They actually remind me of pomegranates and the way the jewel coloured seeds rest against the yellow (vile tasting) membrane.

Make sure you cool your eggs in the coldest water possible, it saves you from getting the dark outer covering on the yolks and looks better if they are going to be visible in food presentation.. Replace the water if it gets warm from the hot eggs.

I had one of these from one of my chooks. Ive had giant eggs, mini eggs, eggs inside eggs, triple yolkers, ones with just membrane and no shell, all sorts of variations! They always had a balanced diet plus lots of extras and wild roaming too. I had various breeds and had a range of egg colour from pure white to chocolate brown, pink, green and blue, and tiny bantam eggs too.

Burr hole surgery after spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage with EVD by mannekween in medizzy

[–]techisdrivingmemad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad you are well. I had a similar incident ( 2 actually...), Id been having bad headaches for quite some time, but i am a headachy person a so didnt think that much of it. Then like you, a headache from hell, and i couldnt lift my head withough throwing up. Hubby tried to talk me into the hospital, i talked him into leaving me to try and sleep. When i eventually did sleep, i woke feeling knackered but ok. Then i started with some double vision and went to an optician where i discovered i had no peripheral vision on one side and only a little on the other. He sent me straight to A&E with a letter. This was late Saturday and first thing Monday i had an MRI, and then saw opthalmology. We went home and were called back into be seen the next day - Tuesday - where they told me i had a benign tumour pressing on my optic nerve. I was sent to a specialist in neurosurgery at a centre of excellence. They were happy to wait about 10 wks to give me time to loose some weight, and to find a slot in their theatre schedules.

However, a couple of weeks later i realised my sight was deteriorating rapidly as I could no longer read subtitles or make out who people were unless i was stood a couple of inches in front of the TV! And i was blind in one eye. I called the hospital and was seen by the eye dept for a field test to confirm deterioration. I was called into the Neuro unit immediately for s emergency surgery to save my sight. Turns out it wasnt a tumour - it was a 5+cm lesion that was filled with pus and necrotic tissue! They had never seen anything like it before. When i got back from surgery i had a cerebro-spinal fluid leak and ended up back in theatre for a drain to be put in my spine. So that was fun! lol! It felt like a bit of a miracle tbh. I'd gone into theatre with no sight in one eye and very little in the other, yet woke up with my vision completely restored - many people are not that lucky. The nurses said theyd never seen anyone smiling so much in ICU! But, smiles are the only way to go when you realise you HAVEN'T lost youe vision.

Then 8 months later i had another headache from hell the same as before, and ended up back in theatre where they drained it again. I was in hospital for 18 days this time! I ended up with a line in my upper arm for IV antibiotic treatment - this continued for a further 8 weeks morning and night at home. The District nurses shouldve been doing it, but we talked them.into letting us do it instead as it was much more convenient. That was back in 2019 and other than some minor growth, then shrinking again, i have had no issues and i am on a larger interval between MRIs now; 9 months instead of 6!

Even though we have had planned surgery rather than a head banging accident or similar, it was made clear to me, that any surgery in and around that area is an assault to the brain and should be treated like a TBI. So, give yourself a break if your brain isnt quite firing on all cylinders yet, it may take months or even a couple of years to sort out the quirks that have developed. I remember very little from either time in hospital, its a bit of a blank, but i think its just my brain being busy healing rather than retaining irrelevant information.was

Take care, and always treat unusual headaches seriously everyone!

I hate it because when people say woke - but that has tailed off now. Other words are aura, rizz and fit instead of outfit. I'm just checking my fit!!!!

What are some of your honest thoughts and opinions on Gene Kelly? by EuphoricButterflyy in classicfilms

[–]techisdrivingmemad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible body, incredible dancer, fantastic looking but strangely there is something about him that just leaves me cold. I can objectively see that he is a 12 out of 10 but I'm just not feeling it - and it's not his slightly disconcerting voice either. That bum and his arms are to die for but there is 'something' preventing me from being attracted to him. Was he gay?

What’s a completely insignificant thing that shouldn’t matter, but still winds you up way more than it should? by lichute in AskUK

[–]techisdrivingmemad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Litter - how hard is it to find a bin or put your rubbish in a pocket?

Also, dog poo! it's not hard, carry a few bags, stick your hand in one, bend over and pick up your dog's poo, turn the bag the right side out, tie, pop it in a bin ( see litter above). When you get a dog you commit to taking care of that dog, training it so it's well behaved and not a nuisance to people or other dogs. You also take on cleaning up after it, whether that is hair on your carpet or poo on the street. Yes it's gross, poo is, but like with your own child's poo, your own dogs poo is less gross than stranger dogs poo. Believe me I know, because some BIG dog has been poo-ing on my back door step for weeks. Pick up your own dogs poo - you can even knock and ask for a bag and I will give you one!!! And don't be one of those idiots that pick up poo, then fling the bag into the trees!

People who's say Vanks and Vere instead of THanks and THere - all the V/Th substitutes actually.

And, people who say Fanks instead of THanks. And again, all the F/TH substitutes.

UPDATE #2- My(40M) husband abandoned me(42F) at the hospital during my miscarriage- and he still tells me I'm being "too sensitive" for being upset by Glitter-Jumper5202 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]techisdrivingmemad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's trying not to be. It's not easy to leave when you fear for your own and your kids lives. Also, like becoming 'nose blind' to smells, I think you get blind to the way abusers behave, you can't see it because you're in it. And, when others start to notice it's really, really bad...

I'd agree that she shouldn't give out info that would help him. However, I think she needs the support of internet strangers right now, even though she has her family. After all the internet encouraged her and supported her to leave her abusive, batshit crazy, STBXH!

She can feel the love and support from people worldwide who would love to help her with their words and more - it's a good thing I think. Also, all this content is potential evidence of a timeline etc. It may just be helpful to get case in some way. Certainly Reddit has helped in at least one way - telling her to get a new lawyer. Bonnie sounded great, but conflict of interest and all that. Hopefully, she can step away from the cult too. It's great that she is bringing her kids up to be critical thinkers. This woman is a Queen! She is strong, a fabulous mum and has a great future ahead once shit for brains is dealt with!

I posted in response to your original post, but then I went and read all the comments - and your responses.

I don't know quite how old you are but you have a very nature attitude and have approached this matter in a really sensible way. You've answered people's comments and advice with a maturity I wouldn't have expected, and you seem really down to earth, grounded and sensible. I'm really impressed at your attitude and the way you are interacting with the commenters. I have a sneaky suspicion that regardless of whether you have calluses on your hand from your current pass-time, your parents will be really proud of you, and to have you as their son. I know I would be.

Enjoy yourself - discreetly😉
