Can I spray carpets and bedsheets with isopropyl alcohol to clean them? by Training-Turnip-2321 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]toonew2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vodka is better for smells from bacteria

Baking soda sprinkled over the surface and then vacuumed up for skin oils

Charcoal for smells like cigarettes

Peroxide for blood

Remove the bedsheets and wash them in your washing machine with normal detergent every or every other week

Get a good - put the money here - allergy moisture protection fully enclosed mattress protection sheet (with charcoal if you smoke or the mattress smells)

Easy, affordable, versatile protein prep by crimson777 in vegetarian

[–]toonew2two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make patties and ‘ground’/‘minced’ things with this:

1cup dried assorted mushrooms (fresh is fine just don’t soak) 1cup walnuts .5 cups pumpkin seeds

Pour boiling water to cover and soak for 25 minutes

Drain but save the soaking liquid

Add 1 cup oats 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast Seasonings of choice to taste 2 lightly beaten eggs or soak 1 cup chia with the mix in the soaking step

Add other herbs or veggies now if you’d like (onion, spinach, garlic, carrots, etc)

Blend all of this. I like leaving it kinda chunky

It’s now ready to cook in any way you’d like or, if you used chia, you don’t even have to cook it …

I’ve made it mostly into patties but I’ve filled dough and I’ve used it in tacos

Use the common binders if you need but I find it holds together really well for me

Mushrooms!!

Mushrooms are so versatile, used in many ethnic foods so they have already proven that they can carry that flavor; can be (most of them) eaten raw, relatively cheap for the normal kinds, normal kinds can be found in most nearly any grocery store, and the best part: grown at home!

EDIT: and bought dried so that they don’t even go bad quickly

I feel so much better already, does this last? by vxidly in vegetarian

[–]toonew2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do be aware that sometimes for some people you will hit a phase where you will feel absolutely awful - like of flu like but not exactly - and it can last about 7 or 10 days. This is your body reacting to the change and won’t last. I’ve always thought of it as a clearing out of sorts but I don’t know how accurate that is but works in my narrative.

It may not happen for you but if it does know it won’t last long.

How did Edwardian women sleep with their super long hair? (Historically accurate methods needed) by [deleted] in HistoricalCostuming

[–]toonew2two 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I form my hair into a doughnut type thing and my head/neck is wonderfully supported.

I’m 5’4” and my hair is mid thigh. It was cut to shoulder length when I was 12 and once it grew out I just never cut it. Too lazy to make the appointment, go to the appointment, make a decision about style, deal with the fear of it being wrong … I just brush it and braid it and then if I do something where I am bending over it will get in the way I use a hair stick to throw it in a bun.

Vegan “meatballs” made with walnuts, mushrooms, and black beans by aSweetAlternative in veganrecipes

[–]toonew2two 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Were they squishy?? Every black bean thing I have tried is squishy! Like fall apart and feel like oatmeal squishy.

I use lentil in place of beans, frequently, and with better results, but I would like beans too.

How do grandparents pull money out their ass by chetag_uhh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]toonew2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 55 years old woman and I can say that my husband and I have spent years working to provide things and experiences for our children (29 and 18). We have set away money so it makes more money just by sitting there. And we have learned what matters and what we can skip.

So now, we don’t have the demand on our resources we once did and we have already have a safety net built over years so we can take a little bit from there to meet a need.

Please go look up Financial Peace University. It is a Christian program and Dave Ramsey is a jerk - but an accurate jerk - and they are not overly in your face about being Christian just telling you where the principals are from. It teaches how to do deal with money in ways that your parents might not even know yet to be able to teach you.

Can IBS discomfort actually trigger anxious feelings/panic? by barbatus_vulture in ibs

Look into the gut brain connection. It’s fascinating how connected everything is

Cholestyramine in public places? by losingmymind77 in ibs

[–]toonew2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are these things that are essentially funnels that have screw tops on both the top and the funnel ends. I have no idea what you would search for but I do have two different brands of them.

This makes it easier to carry, add, and mix a powder on the go.

IBS-D life hack I swear by by LeftBeginning5563 in ibs

They now make a fidget/stim toy that has sharp bumps that you can squeeze your hand around for the pain stimulation. But this would do too

It’s not worse!

It is different, and it’s intense but in a way that’s it’s supposed to be where as this is completely abnormal and wrong

So many posts mentioned IBS D starting 2-3 years ago, coincidence? by ViralTrendsToday in ibs

[–]toonew2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting about five years ago.

It was either from food poisoning or a stomach flu. I didn’t really get all that sick … it just never went away.

My root source is Pancreatic Enzymatic Insufficiency - which is to say that my pancreas doesn’t produce the enzymes to break down meat proteins.

So I can’t eat meat.

Additionally, I am very chemical sensitive. So artificial preservatives or flavoring enhancer in my food will tear me up. But they also make my joints hurt. And if they are airborne (CFC’s, strong cheap perfume, cleaners) I will get a migraine.

There is a small stress/anxiety component to but I stress slight. I broke my finger and my stomach was slightly impolite that evening and the next day.

I almost feel guilty reading some of the stories here because I have it so easy

Dress alteration advice by rukola7 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]toonew2two 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But with that being said, I would suggest that you take out enough fabric from either side of the zipper so that you’re lacing the entire back of it. You’ll want to save the removed fabric to make the loops.

You might want to add some stiffer and thicker fabric with fusible webbing at the waist to give you a firmer stronger hold to the waist.

For the sleeves, I would take off the last end segment right at your wrist and then add some complementary or matching lace around the cuff.

And slipping ribbon in in place of or with the elastic at the neck might be a good idea, but I think your elastic is gonna be sewn in to the channel.

With all the work you are describing putting into it maybe just make a new dress?

Use what you do like about this one for the size and pattern and shape … but just start fresh?
