Spinach has a very high oxalate count; kale is a better option.
Dear lord can we have one SINGLE conversation without you bringing up oxalates??!?
Did you know that cooked spinach has more oxalates than raw spinach? It's true !
Also, rhubarb is very high in oxalates... but really, who actually eats rhubarb?
It barely counts as a food.
But when its mixed with strawberry in a pie tho..... 😍
Strawberries only have 2mg of Oxalates per 1/2 cup.
I like to live dangerously.
Then have a big plate of Spinach.
...with raw almonds.
I ate approx 5 cups of cooked spinach today. (Lightly sauté/steamed). I used to get kidney stones. Only while pregnant though. So, I’m safe forever now!
ETA....it was 5 cups when raw! Even I’m not that big of a pig about it.0 -

Interesting. Mine only happened while pregnant. And it was awful. I’d rather deliver a baby with no meds. But for me it seemed like red meat triggered it. 🤷🏻♀️ I probably wasn’t eating much spinach then. And they were definitely calcium oxalate ones.0 -
What? No listing for the raw almonds @Motorsheen?0

Yep, red meat and certain other foods (many that you might not expect).
A huge culprit is: Coke / Diet Coke / Pepsi / Diet Pepsi et. etc.
I drink lemon juice everyday, it's supposed to help inhibit the build-up of a calcium oxalate stone.

Yeah, that makes sense. The last time it happened, going on 5 yrs ago, I drank soda too. Was out of town staying with people and not eating or drinking what I was used to. I once drank the undiluted juice of something like 15 lemons. I don’t remember. Like 2 cups or more. It took me a long time. A friend swore by it. When you’re pregnant there’s not much they can do for you. Then I tried to keep drinking ACV after that.
Btw.....I once had a male nurse in the ER tell me to “settle down” when I was in pain for like 12 hrs from it and they couldn’t get it managed. Da *kitten*?3 -

B for sure. Always been more attracted to a guy who has a life without me and doesn’t need me to be happy. And tbh when hes really busy it drives me a little crazy in a good way1 -

If I had to pick....B....but I’d prefer him to be crazy into me and have a lot of his own stuff going on too. Barely has time for me kinda sucks. But no life sucks more.2 -

Crazy into me, but with a full life (little needy is good...feels good - like needs ME! (*I feel special)
Does what he wants to do all the time, but still includes me - and is cool with the same from me
Be your own person, and show interest, care and affection
...if you do3 -

In the beginning everyone is overzealous but It’s a lot of pressure if a guy doesn’t have much of a life outside of me. I worry if we break up he’ll have nothing.3 -

B.
Definitely B.
I dated someone like A. Drove me nuts! He had no life and no friends. I mean, that's nice he was really into me, but it was too much pressure and soooooooo annoying. I ended that and had to block him shortly after cuz he was all "what did I do? Why do nice guys always finish last?!"
🙄
This was 2.5 years ago. Since then he has had multiple girlfriends and 2 fiances. All which have moved into his house (within 1 month of dating) and then moved out when the relationship ended. 🤔
Bullet dodged.
Type A is too much like a person who can't be alone. And I don't do well with dating those types.....4 -

This has never been me. If I'm in a relationship, I've always tried to maintain a balance between time with them and personal interests. There's always sometimes where can't maintain it. But, that should be the exception and not the rule.
Up until a few months ago, I had too much going on in my life to give time to a relationship. So, I avoided them. Couldn't justify bringing someone into my life when I had no time to give, so why cause unnecessary resentment or pain?

I get your reasoning but don’t do yourself a disservice based on the assumption that someday you’ll be less busy. In my experience, that elusive someday never comes0 -

For some, or many, this holds true. In my case, I would disagree. Prior to relocating to where I'm at now, I had an exceptionally busy schedule that left little downtime. If something threw my schedule off, I had no free time to react or do at a different time. Most times, I was lucky to get four hours of sleep a night.
When I relocated, I resigned not only from my full-time job. But, also from the fire department I was a member of and the local Ski Patrol. As well as other volunteer work I did.
Where I'm at now, I am only working my full-time job. Have no plans to get involved with things as I did before. I gave up a lot of myself for years and am now content with working my job and having free time to get back into hobbies I gave up to join the fire department and ski patrol. Now that I have time, I'm much more open to the possibility of a relationship.6 -
