Did a search in this sub saw one post 10 months ago curious if an option became available. No biggie if not it's just so bright compared to other apps.
Doubled this recipe using 1 pack of frozen spinach as the veggie. Browned ground turkey meat that I seasoned myself since it was cheaper than buying turkey sausage already made (plus I didn't have to deal with removing the casing). Used this recipe to make the turkey sausage. I substituted half of the AP flour for oat/buckwheat flour blend for a little more protein and fiber. This was my first time making them I'll probably use all oat flour next time around.
All the raw ingredients were $24, making this $1 per muffin and we have milk, eggs, cheese and green onion leftover (that's going in "fancy" ramen tonight!)
Family had some this morning with a hashbrown. Going to store in a zip bag in the freezer. Plan on thawing overnight then warming in the toaster oven/air fryer on low heat to warm through.
Straight out the oven these were fantastic. The turkey sausage seasoning is very reminiscent of Thanksgiving stuffing mix. Will add more spice (in the form of cayenne pepper) next time.
Doubled the Delish chili recipe and added kidney beans to add more fiber and protein cheaply.
Containers were gifts from parents over pervious holidays. Lock n Lock brand 29 ounces, just under 1 quart.
Labeled with painters tape and a sharpie since there's pasta sauce in the freezer and we can tell them apart.
Each container can either be a big bowl for 1 or split (half for each person) on top of a baked russet potato. Bonus add plain yogurt on top and some green onion garnish.
Beef was on sale and got 6 pounds at $3.99 per pound: 3 went towards this and the other 3 pounds made 16 servings of bolognese packed and labeled the same way. 28oz cans of tomatoes were around $3 each. Used 5 total (2 for the chili and 3 for the bolognese). And under $2 for the beans. Plus the spices we're still under $3 a serving for the chili if my napkin math is mathing.
It's so beautiful! Want to learn more!
I understand being a moderator is thankless and it's near impossible to act on each and every post. You can't even put a restriction of "don't allow new accounts to post" because these 2-5 year old accounts with zero recent activity get bought up to be able to spam/advertise.
Just an example of some recent posts in the past week that are AI/spam:
Ai app 'developer' gathering info
4 year old account with no activity until 2 months ago, suddenly talking about tracker apps to help
That's all I have the energy to do at this time. It's not just this sub but reddit as a whole. People easily and freely responding to engagement posts feeding the AI LLMs out there.
I belive IDEED is the missed approach which seems cute. Please feel free to correct me on this.
Which state to retire to if we want to be away from people but access to good medical care within 30 minutes?
I see many recent post op stories and pre-op questions so decided to ramble onto the internet for those who want to see it.
Had a partial hysterectomy back in 2008 (can't believe it's almost 20 years ago). Was fortunate enough to have a supportive OBGYN. Laundry list of issues I'm sure you've heard before. Ovaries and tubes remain. Cervix and uterus removed.
Recovery went quicker than imagined thanks to being able to stay with my parents. Things I would highly recommend are: if you have long hair, do French braid (either 1 or 2 depending how you like to sleep so it's comfortable) to help prevent tangles/matting. Dry shampoo is also a huge help. Plan on not showering for a few days after. Appetite was fairly normal but soup felt so good. Can make some a head of time and freeze it in portions. Anesthesia can cause constipation! Have Miralax on hand and start with the recommended dosage. They inflate your belly with air and it has to go somewhere after you are closed up. You will be gassy and your shoulder may ache from the extra gas inside. This is normal. DO NOT LIFT MORE THAN 10 POUNDS! You can really injure yourself while your insides are still healing. Scars will fade naturally over the years. I can bare see mine (1 in belly button, and 1 on each of my sides (3 total)). Scar tape was recommended by my dermatologist for other unrelated scars. Never used it on these.
No real structure here just some things on my mind over the years without a uterus:
Thought I was hard set on wanting kids or not. The feelings come and go over the years. Got stronger as I got older, maybe with age/hormones more than anything. Therapy was a massive help for this.
No more pap smears! However, if your cervix was removed due to cervical cancer then you should still continue to go for exams with your OBGYN.
A few perimenopause symptoms hit me in my mid to late 30's, approximately 8 years after surgery. Binge eating, mood swings, hot flashes. These continued to grow over the next 10 years before finally getting on hormone therapy. I should have done this much sooner. Progesterone pills and estrogen cream. Taking things one step at a time before potentially adding testosterone cream. I wouldn't recommend all at once. Start with one and see how you feel before adding another.
It was tougher to gauge when perimenopause was at its prime since there was no period timing to go off of. Had to rely solely on symptoms that at times made me feel like I sounded like a crazy person. The progesterone was the biggest help and the effect was almost immediate. Sleeping better, hunger under control, and no more hot flashes.
Sex life was great. Never could orgasm with vaginal stimulation but could with clitoral stimulation. Toys helped a great deal. My libido plummeted with perimenopause and clitoris atrophy but has improved greatly with the estrogen cream. I also was never a very sexually active person and stuck only with long-term partners (2 people over the past 20 years).
Medicine and research has come a LONG LONG WAY for uterus havers! But still continue to advocate for yourself and see multiple doctors until you are happy. Keep up with mammograms and general yearly exams (40+ usually but can go in 30's if you have family history of breast cancer). Learn how to do self breast exams.
Hopefully the above helps those who are trying to make a decision and puts some long term post op worries at ease. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
We're looking to replace our very old smoke detectors. An event happened when the alarms went off while we were out running errands. Luckily it was a false alarm but we would like to know if something happens.
What options do we have if we want to be notified when something happens?
A house went up for sale down the road from us that is half the size and we can buy in full with just over 100k leftover from the sale of our home. The breakdown would be:
Sell current home (has 3 years left on mortgage)
Buy smaller home (which we would buy in full with the money from selling current house)
Live in new, smaller home with no mortgage payment for the next 3 years
Retire and move in 3 years using the funds from selling smaller home
The thought sounded enticing and we never thought of it being an option. Is there something we're missing that would make this not a good move?
Thank you for the inspo! This is just a kitchen caddy. Anything to make this a little better with me having a big fear of needles. Wish the pen was covered but alas it isn't.
Recently started and down 20 pounds so far. It has completely relaxed my brain of food noise, something I never thought was possible.
Original post:
Completely new to this. Did a quick google search and was met with so many options. The one that looked the most interesting, Ambient Weather WS-5000, has a subscription? Definitely do not want that.
Is there something that is similar (customizable addons) that is all on one screen without the subscription?
We do not have a smart home
Solar or battery is fine with us (unless you believe one is better over the other please let me know)
We live in the New England area if that matters
I've tried asking in the subs for the states I'm thinking of but are met with either "go away we don't want more people" or a laundry list of issues.
What metrics should we be looking at when deciding where to retire?
Thinking of a place with little to no crowds, 30-60 minutes to shopping, good medical care, options for hiking (and less important but bonus fishing), and preferably blue area (we understand things get less blue the more remote you go, but if the shopping area is that would be fine). For weather we'd like all 4 seasons. Would rather be cold than hot though given the option.
After the hustle and bustle we're ready for quiet (not off grid).

So tired of seeing ai/bots/ads in all these smaller subs. I get moderating a sub isn't a job and not everyone can catch every little thing. But for AI to get to the point where it's the top contributor of a sub seems ridiculous.
Needing a stronger prescription and it's for some reason less expensive to get all new frames rather than just replace the lenses.
What is the best way to get these glasses to someone in need?
