I used this recipe from serious eats https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/10/chicken-cacciatore-red-peppers-recipe.html 

Yay! Congrats to you both. Is this in the U.K.? If so I’d really recommend looking into what support the University offers (if you haven’t already), mental illness is covered under disability law and Universities often have specialist disability support. They can normally help arrange extensions or provisions with her…

I’ve lived overseas for 15+ years. My relative who lives at my last-listed address recently let me know I got a jury summons. I emailed the county court to let them know that I’m living overseas indefinitely/permanently and can they remove me from their list? They replied that yes, they can remove me but I have to…

Thats a wonderful step to be taking as a family who has been through a great deal. You are blessed to have the medical system support, so keep on using it through this period of transition. As a person with mental illness, I have to say that my college years would have been much better with access to mental health…

I get migraines with aura. I’ve had the implant before and it worked, but I did have two episodes of extremely long periods where I went to my doctor and had to take a month of extra birth control pills to get it to stop. But that wasn’t bad considering I only had to do that twice the whole time. But because of that…

I also had migraines with aura, so the pill is “not impossible, but contra-indicated,” according to my doctor. (I felt the risk of stroke was not acceptable to me, given my family history, but your own situation might be different.)

Im a much older lady than you and have run the gamut of bc while suffering occasional migraines my whole life. A low-dose pill (in my case levonorgestin) worked well for me for years, although I’m the type that never EVER forgot to take it. However after looking into iuds recently I was surprised to find out that…

Wow, this is my first time joining SNS in almost a year. Can’t believe I’ve been on Jezebel for three years (and am still in the greys lol). I’m 3/4ths of the way done with my freshman year of college! Today’s an important day in the fictional series I made up and basically lived in from 11 to 18 (a main character’s…

Stay vigilant; the first year of university can be very disorienting. Not to be a Debbie Downer.

My daughter starts Uni next week. Last year, while studying Year 12, she was hospitalized four times for mental illness and suicide attempts. I have a safe in my house for medicines and knives. I slept on rotation with my other two younger kids with her every night. After medication changes and so much stress, she has…

I’ve been pretty good at being consistent with my review videos and now have TEN whole subscribers. Can’t seem to break 70 on Instagram though. Do y’all like IG? I’m so over the whole “I followed you so you’d follow me and you didn’t so I’m going to unfollow” people. Not that I care so much about followers, I just…

My son is in the military and lives out of state. He got called into jury duty and had to let them know that he wasn’t able to make it because he’s active duty, is no longer a resident, and lives over 21 hours away.

The woman on the phone told him, “That’s okay. Just come down to our office and fill out an exemption…

It’s not a new hobby, and I’ve mentioned it before (probably to the point of boring anyone paying attention) but I learned to ride a bike when I was 47. I did it for my husband, who hadn’t had a chance to ride in years and can’t really walk comfortably due to foot problems—I figured, what the hell, we’ll do something…

I got back on track with my running schedule. I always used to run four times per week, on the same days each week, but lately, I think just because of winter and the lack of sunlight making me tired and a bit depressed, I got off track. I was back on track this week though! And stupid jury duty should help since it…

Counterpoint: I miss it when my only job was to read books and think and write about them and nothing actually mattered and clients didn’t get mad at me ;)

Should have had me for a teacher. You would have had a blast *and* learned something useful.

I did two big data collection visits for my PhD work and finally have a proper draft of the survey I’m going to use. I have to figure out one or two things but this coming week I’m going to be sending it out! It’s a huge milestone and I’m anxious about it but I really want to get all my data collection done before the…

Awwwww, yeaaaaahhhhh. It’s time for the WEEKLY ACHIEVEMENT THREAD!!! Give us the details on what you’ve accomplished this week so we can crow along with you!

Happy Saturday everyone! Last time I posted was about a massive (nearly relationship ending) fight with my long term boyfriend and before that, a few posts about the headaches involved with coordinating an across-the-world move with said partner and very floofy pussy cat.

After enduring another painful week of my miserable job, and not getting the promotion I was pretty sure I was going to get, and realizing that my office was not going to get its shit together any time soon, I finally quit. My boss was pretty sad and kept asking, “What can we do to make you stay??” and I wanted really…
