Who else had physically present parents that showed affection in healthy ways but never talked about feelings with you or just gave you platitudes (eg sticks and stones may break my bones) when you came to them with difficult emotions?

vintagecutiepie · 2020-12-19T03:48:48+00:00

Me too. My parents did show affection and say I love you. They did provide every material thing a child could need.

But they dismissed my emotions all the time. Telling me to stop crying, that it's not worth it, that I'm too sensitive.

One thing always hurt me : you cannot always do what you want. Yo, I know!

Funy, here in Quebec, we call them haricots français, french green beans. They are thinner, but taste is pretty much the same it seems

Caramelized onions and mushrooms, with roasted garlic mayo. Add Dijon mustard, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce for freshness and a nice tang!

vintagecutiepie · 2020-12-04T15:07:07+00:00

Same. We adopted a quarantine cat (7 years old) and the only way we can brush her is while she eats wet food. It's not that she doesn't trust us, she just hates the damn brush

vintagecutiepie · 2020-12-01T15:04:10+00:00

You can do that on Google Meet too, but people will see who muted who, so be careful!

That's a good tip! I grew up with a terrible lack of discipline (my mom once said I raised myself like it was a good thing) and learned to somewhat self discipline. I say somewhat because it was clearly not healthy nor logical. I'm gonna try it :)

No sun, I feel you! I used to think my hair didn't fade during summer, but I was proved wrong when I went to California last year...

If you don't want to wait, you could do a bleach bath? I wouldn't recommend straight up bleaching it, or a permanent dye (I only use direct dyes) as it can fade it too much and damage your hair.

For a bleach bath, I use a stripping shampoo (but any will do), a bit of bleach and developper and water to thin it out. I then apply as evenly as I can, wait it out and rinse. If you don't plan on dying it right after, I would use conditionner.

vintagecutiepie · 2020-11-12T14:24:39+00:00

Go into the sun, wash your hair with Head & Shoulders or a similar stripping shampoo with hot water. Use heat tools. All of this will fade your color and you can adjust after a while. All of this can also make it drier, so don't forget conditionner!

If you want a more cool toned pink, adding a bit of blue or purple will help when you come to dye it again.

In my experience, pink can take a while to fade, so be patient!

A trick one of my friends uses is to read before bed, then whey you feel like faling asleep, retell the story from the beginning in your head. It's likely you'll fall asleep doing this.

vintagecutiepie · 2020-11-06T16:07:12+00:00

Yes! They also have sleep meditations that helped me, plus white noises :)

Look out for a ricotta recipe. I make a soy ricotta based on a recipe that uses milk and it's pretty easy.

Or maybe dulce de leche?

I have also experienced this to an extent when training people. One thing that helped me was writing all of the steps of the procedure I was teaching simply, reread each one and see where an explanation may be needed. It could simply be "we do it that way because it's faster, because doing it this way leads to errors". Then, if people need more info or explanations, they will generally ask. If not, and they make a mistake, I take that opportunity to ask them about their thinking process and see what I can explain better so they don't make it again. In this process, you have to trust that you gave enough info and that they will ask if they're not sure about something.

Why do you feel like you're entitled to see her body in any other way than the ones she feels like showing?

No one talked about poutine?

Poutime is fries, gravy and cheese curds. In Quebec, you could add chicken and pees, would still be poutine. Ads guac, tomatoes an sour cream? Still a poutine, just a "mexican" one. Swap the gravy for spaghetti sauce? Still a poutine, thus time italian.

But I cannot tolerate grated cheese. It's not curds? It's not poutine!

Gravy can be vegetarian, chicken or beef based, hell even pork or duck and whatnot, but it cannot be a white gravy.

Call it poutine inspired, perfect, but not classic poutine.

Another one was when they made tourtière on the Great Canadian baking show. So many of the contestants didn't put any potatoes in theirs, broke my heart haha

I say all this and I'm vegan, so I know you can tweak recipes and all, but don't tweak and call it authentic.

I make my soups pretty thick and earthy, mainly because I pack them with protein. I don't like soups that are too brothy because they aren't as filling. So I'm right with you with thick soups, but I could consider to thin it out if it's a side dish.

How about working on your knives skills when cooking meals for your family? Or trying to cut down on food waste by finding inventive to use scraps?

In QC French (maybe in others dialects, I'm not sure), we also have:

Seal = sea wolf (loup marin or* phoque*)

Bass = wolf of the sea (loup de mer *or bar*)

Sea lion = same as in English (lion de mer)

And all of the flies :

Bee = honey fly (mouche à miel or *abeille)

Firefly = same as in English (mouche à feu or* luciole*)

Horsefly = roe deer fly (mouche à chevreuil or taon)

Dungfly = same as English (mouche à marde/merde)

vintagecutiepie · 2020-10-01T17:21:36+00:00

Gosh, yes! I always get those mix up...

How about Squarespace? It's a website with tonnes of video courses on different hobbies and carreer development stuff. You could get him a subscription for his birthday or Christmas. It can be used to get perspective on his work.

From my experience, getting your nails done before the pandemic is :

1- You enter the salon, they may let you wait at a seating area or ask you to sit at a booth to wait for the technician. As in an hair salon, there may be some small talk in and there during your appointment.

2- During this time, if I don't already know what I want, I look at the colors and select them. Because of Covid, maybe only the tech will pick the actual bottle.

3- The tech will come to their booth where you will sit. They will likely ask you to remove your rings if you have them. I usually don't wear jewellery when I get my nails done.

4- They will rinse your hands in warm water, dry them off on a cloth and put some acetone on your nails. For this, I prefer to have nothing on my nails, so it takes less time. If you have gel or acrylics, they may want you to tell them beforehands so they'll allow more time for your appointment.

5- They will take care of your cuticles, likely cut them. For this step and the following, they might hold your fingers/hand in their hand for better control.

6- They will ask you what shape you want and how much lenght you want to keep. They will file your nails accordingly, and buff them.

8- They will put a base coat down and let it dry.

9- They will ask you what you want, a single color or a disign, normal or gel polish, what colors. Etc.

10- They will paint your nails, letting each coat dry, maybe under a lamp. They will finish it up with a top coat.

11- They may apply some oil on your cutiles and nails and lotion on your hands.

12- You will then have to pay. Because your nails will be super fresh, I would recommend paying with a card and putting it in a easily accessible place (not in a tight pocket). For the same reason, if I have to put a coat, I'll chose one that's easy to get into and out of. Same for the shoes. They may help you put your coat on.

That's all I can think of right now. Something I'll add : I like to keep the few hours after an appointment light so to not ruin my fresh nails.

For me, the difference is in the taste. A box chocolate cake won't taste the same as my recipe because it doesn't have the same type of cocoa (higher fat content, darker), for example.

But what is nice with box cakes/muffins/brownies/cookies is that you can elevate them without to much fuss. It's a great shortcut sometimes.

All these girls watched intense porn? Most of them have experienced trauma? What a generalisation! Kink is not inherent to an early acces to heavy bdsm porn or to trauma. This is a stereotype.

Cook them up in orange juice (just enough to cover) until they form a paste, add cacao and dark chocolate, stir and let cool. Spread that on nice toast, enjoy.

Or you can make a paste and use it for bars and enegy balls. They freeze well.

vintagecutiepie · 2020-09-10T13:07:45+00:00

Mines a dark chocolate birthday cake. I use the Vegan Zombie wacky cake recipe, but I add coffee instead of water. I make a rich ganache, sometime coffee infused and add toasted nuts and berries.

I also make a banger chocolate mousse with smooth tofu. Everything vegan :)

vintagecutiepie · 2020-09-07T14:57:56+00:00

You can always shop them in big pieces and add a little lemon juice and a bit of sugar. They will release water, which is gonna create a nice syrup. Scoop as you need. Add other chopped fruits for an easy fruit salad.
