Oh I’ve been there too! Read about it while planning my pregnancy. It made me feel so paranoic that I got the test done twice just in case. I never got sick with it, but paranoia was a removed.
Since then I have gotten mental health help to deal with anxiety etc.
You sure are a pb&jelly connoiseur! I like your comments about the different kinds of jellies, jam, etc. I have never tried prickly pear but it sounds delicious. My personal favorite is passion fruit jam but I also like red currant jelly.
Thanks for sharing your recipe, they sound delicious and just perfect for an upcoming camping trip.
Whoa! Lots of assumptions there, pal. Projection much?
I never said it was cheating or a shortcut, that was all you. I never said people like you should die. You do you and good if it has worked so far, but that does not mean that it is going to work for every single person who gets this suggested by their doctor.
That does not mean that every person getting this surgery comes out of it scot free forever, look at the data. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Calling me judgemental is not te flex you think it is.
Carry on.

Yes, but also that weightloss from bariatric surgery comes with many unhealthy side effects:
Dumping; calcium, Iron, folate, vitamin A, B1,B12,D malabsortion; malnutrition, ulcers, refractory late dumping; increased risk of postoperative abuse of alcohol; depression; anxiety; increased mortality from suicide (so much for decreased mortality for not being fat anymore); more risk of colorectal cancer; Barret’s oesophagus (premalignant condition for oesophageal adenocarcinoma), etc.
So how come this is healthier for someone? Is it a case or choosing a poison? How come anesthesia is a risk for life saving surgeries for fat people but that risk evaporates when it comes to bariatric procedures? So which is it? “We want you thinner” or “We want you healhy”?
Spot on comment. “But, but, but obesity” Yeah correlation is not causation, when will people get off of the better than thou train.
Being healthy is more than just how much people weight and it baffles me that so many comments here are tone deaf about how it is not as easy as CICO and criticize people who live in larger bodies.
Could you share your recipe for oat balls, please? I am looking for a high protein snack to switch things up a little bit. TIA
Mix tapes all the way! Sometimes even recording straight from radio shows praying the host wouldn’t speak during my recording.
The only album I bought in an original cassette was “August and everything after” by the Counting Crows. I played that tape every single morning going to school for like a year.
I am gladly going to share my most guarded secret regarding succulents, obligatory “I-am-not-in-the-usa” disclaimer. I live in a place near the tropics but with very cold winters.no snow though.
Neglect is your friend. I forget to water mine all the time, if I find gnats or whatever on one just spray it lightly with rubbing alcohol or pinesol, etc.
Specifically for propagating: Cut your petals/leaves clean off of the mother plant. I use my hands but you can use a pair of very clean scissors, then put them in an empty terracota pod no moisture and leave them be until they can “heal” the “wound”, sort of like scarring (spelling?) Then when you start seeing tiny little roots THEN place them on moist soil and proceed to ignore so they start doing their thing. My soil mix is 70 or 80% mineral material and the rest regular dirt. Hope this helps
Depends on my relationship with them.
If they are not my close friends or family, something generic like wine, nice tea, chocolate, baby plant is fine.
If they are close to me, I love giving them something I know they can use for their favorite activity or hobbie but never related to their job or school. For example I would not gift my kid something for school, that is a need and not an actual gift.
I can think of three options:
My crossbow. I am not a hunter but I thought it would be super cool to learn how to use one. SO got it as an anniversary gift for me.
My horse hair embroidery sculpture things… I am not sure what to call them yet, but I like unusual art and these fit the bill.
My succulent collection . I have many different kinds and love propagating them.
Ps. I don’t know how to upload pics to lemmy. Everytime I try an error pops up.
What a thorough and thoughtful answer. Many thanks for taking your time to explain in such an easy way.
I struggle with feeding myself correctly for various reasons and having a system like yours looks like it could help me a lot. I am already working closely with a dietitian and a psychologist but the day-to-day hassle overwhelms me and having an actual person do it successfully gives me hope.
So again, Internet stranger, thank you for sharing.
I know this is a post from three weeks ago, OP, but I hope you can still answer. With that said, I am baffled! How on earth do you cook only eight to twelve days? Can I learn that sorcery too? How do you do it?!?! It would be a game changer for me if you could please walk me through your process.
TIA
I have a victorinox card thingie and have used it many more times than I care to admit. Got it as a stocking stuffer a couple of years ago.
It is the equivalent of nails scratching on blackboard for me. My mom uses one and I have to get away whenever she is about to use it because it makes my ears and teeth hurt like a mofo.
What kind of mat do you use? I have many different but Gaiam is my go to, great grip, very durable and lovely designs. I love being all matchy matchy with yoga props too so having colorful designs is a plus for me. Manduka was not a good match for me but I know some people love them.
Beautiful shot! I love the darker background.
Last week my kid’s mare got spooked by a plastic bag while said kid was riding her. They never flinched and everything was under control in a few seconds but you bet I was unable to breath while watching from afar.
