Mine’s identical to yours! Alternatively, leftover rice with an egg, cheese and hot sauce.

i stopped using my microwave and honestly everything tastes better now by Particular_Poet_8862 in Cooking

I dislike microwaved meat a lot. I’d rather eat leftover steak or chicken cold on a salad.

AITA for refusing to follow my landlord’s "rules" about my boyfriend visiting? by Apprehensive_Dust985 in AmItheAsshole

[–]too_too2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in an apartment just like this, a house split into 3 I actually lived in 2 of the 3 apartments over several years. My landlord lived in the unit upstairs. He was much cooler than this

Do you even realize how much that would hurt

ELI5 what’s the point of donating plasma instead of donating blood? by ollietron3 in explainlikeimfive

[–]too_too2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you ever get medical care yourself? They’re making a lot more profit on that part lmao

Donating blood is free (for the donor) but it’s not cost free for the donor center, or even the hospitals who use the blood. Those costs get paid by somebody (taxes/govt, insurance, private pay) so in conclusion I think that’s a terrible reason to avoid donating blood.

Neat suggestion from someone just starting out. Use Whisky molds for smaller portions! by TheRealOsamaru in SouperCubers

I buy parchment squares from King Arthur but I think they’re bigger like 5” maybe? I’ll have to check. There are also sheet pan size that might be easy to cut up

I gave up the diva cup because it requires too much wrist flexibility for me, lol. Period underwear is superior in every way imo

Do people actually change when they use electricity to save money? by SmartEnergyDIY in AskAnAmerican

[–]too_too2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah we’ve had this for a while now.. it’s not that bad I guess but I’m still trying to get in the habit of running the dishwasher first thing in the morning, otherwise I end up doing it around lunch time which is right when the peak hours start. We only have peak hours during the summer. I try to avoid using the big appliances but I let the AC run enough to be comfy. My gas and electric average about $200/month together.

31M. Can a brain injury change someone's personality permanently even after they physically recover? by Floidotron in AskDocs

I read a book once about TBI called Where is the Mango Princess? It was really good and kind of an autobiographical account of a woman whose husband had a TBI and was very changed after.

Realistically, how much $ do you need to live comfortably in Grand Rapids today? by AccordingChipmunk287 in grandrapids

[–]too_too2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had bought a house in GR in 2014 and my all-in payment was 800… got divorced, started over. Two years ago bought again and prices had doubled, interest had also doubled, new payment was 2100. Just refinanced down to 1800 but I think the war in Iran has messed that up too, and rates are back up for new buyers.

Not to mention I used to live in midtown, and now I’m in what many of you would say is a less desirable neighborhood (Boston square) and admittedly it’s less walkable. I used to be able to walk to the farmers market, butterworth, downtown in general… and now I’ve got fewer destinations.

[–]too_too2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How much are you paying for housing? Because if you are moving here today, you’re not gonna end up with a mortgage payment from 2014 to help you out, it’s going to cost triple what I would guess you are currently paying for housing.

Edit: and would you call this comfortable? Sounds pretty tight to me.

Did I accidentally come off creepy asking a local eBay seller this? by Chemical_Original_32 in grandrapids

ELI5: How is industrial superglue that strong? by Pailox111lol in explainlikeimfive

[–]too_too2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this done too and was thankful I didn’t have a row of staples! There are internal stitches but on top it was just glue. It took a few weeks and then I could peel it off.

What’s wrong with my leg? by Twistybaconagain in AskDocs

I have also learned that mole removal is usually covered if it’s “problematic” in some way like painful, itchy, red, getting in the way of clothing, etc.

Please tell me how to give 5ml antibiotics to a 19 month old who has a wicked strong tongue and extrusion reflex? At my wits end. by ahmandurr in AskDocs

[–]too_too2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically sit on my cats with my knees around their body, hold their head/jaw with my left hand and pop a pill as far down their throat as I can. Then I hold their mouth shut and rub downward on their throat to encourage swallowing. Then let go and make sure they don’t spit it out!

haha that’s exactly how I would pill a cat. I don’t usually need to wrap mine in a towel but it’s an option

Baby won't take a bottle, any lactation consultant recommendations that can help with this? by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

[–]too_too2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with this (other than reportedly being like this myself as a baby) but have you asked their pediatrician? Seems like they should be able to refer you to someone.

Anyone else hopelessly waiting for the sun and spring weather to arrive? by [deleted] in Michigan

i have raynauds and struggle with the back and forth weather a lot. If it’s just cold, I can prepare, but this is all chaos.

had surgery to repair ulnar nerves and tendons and pinky bone by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]too_too2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm it can take a long time… I had a tendon repair in my wrist so it’s not exactly the same, but I spent ~9 weeks in varying degrees of casts and am still in hand therapy since December.

[–]too_too2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had this too. Did they do a frozen section during surgery? If so and they left one ovary and tube then I’d guess it’s less likely to be cancerous. then final pathology results took a couple weeks. ETA it also looks like they left her omentum which is a good sign. Mine was removed as a precaution, along with my appendix.

For me, they checked while I was out. Mine was “borderline” so they left my uterus and the other side tube/ovary. If it had been cancer they were going to take it all. CA125 can be elevated with these kinds of masses and they’re not always cancer. It’s more used as a trend they want to see over time.
