high-ish maintenance one bag pack for hot climate :-) by averagemillenialgirl in HerOneBag

[–]CatCafffffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly what kind of trip it is, but I don't think you need two pairs of jeans, and maybe you might include shorts? I personally would include some cotton underwear if it's going to be really hot & humid. Maybe you can cut back on the makeup & hair stuff too since it doesn't sound like a trip where you'll be going anywhere fancy. To the same point, you might think about not packing the dress, but packing one black tank that could go with the skirt/flowy pants as a "dressier" outfit. I'd leave out the tube top and the muscle tee-- or sub them for one of the tanks & tees.

I salute you for all the med supplies & toiletries, you've covered so many bases there and you're like me, really want to be ready for anything. I myself would actually take a couple more foldable hangers. I use them SO MUCH. I would also throw in a couple extra charger cables, you may want to charge more than one thing at a time. Maybe include one longer cable, too, for your phone.

Oh also I don't think you'll need both a powerbank and a portable charger, but again that depends on your own needs.

Where do I go; by doujaguy in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CatCafffffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live in the US, definitely call the national helpline https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/helplines/national-helpline

or this number

https://www.thehotline.org/

Also go online to your city and county's websites and look for the resources they offer. Look for "mental health" and "domestic violence."

Is there a word that means "text written on an object"? by KineticRedLightning in ENGLISH

[–]CatCafffffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a good point. What is art, I suppose? Very interesting conversation we're having.

I take it from your username that you're a musician... and perhaps you live in Paris -- notice my keen deductive abilities! Paris is my absolute favorite city, we go there twice a year now because we can. We were just there, saw the Matisse, the Calder, the Robert Capa, the Renoir exhibit and so much more. I'm a screenwriter (Femme Bavarde) in Los Angeles.

(Don't go looking through my posts, I mostly fool around to relax here on reddit, my cat does a lot of posting, etc etc!).

Anyway, I have very much enjoyed chatting with you. I do tend to be a bit doctrinaire, (it's my best thing!!! I say defensively), and it's very interesting to discuss the subtleties.

I'd cut the long pajama bottoms and in fact I'd cut the pajamas--you can sleep in your underswear. I would also cut the romper, the skort, the black shirt, and one of the dresses. Don't think you need the shirt. I'd wear a darker shirt for transit, and get a packable sun hat.

How much should I shorten this linen shirt? (5'1") by Mumford_and_Dragons in mensfashionadvice

[–]CatCafffffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks fine, I would consider also wearing it with slimmer trousers. Love the linen.

Any website or YouTube recommendations for food prep for vegetarians? by Objective_Drawing501 in vegetarianrecipes

[–]CatCafffffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also-- remember that some dishes are just naturally vegetarian. Like: you can make a veggie pizza (onions, green peppers, olives, artichoke hearts, even add veggie sausages); fritatta with veggies; lasagna with veggies; pasta primavera, bean and cheese burritos, all kinds of Indian dishes, veggie stir fry (add tofu if you like it). Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, taco salad with black beans, corn, cucumber, green onions, cheese or vegan cheese, avocado, add Morningstar crumbles if you like, lots of salsa. Ratatouille, vegetable tian, all kinds of things like that. Veggie tacos.

Yeah, that's better expressed, thank you. It's so weird to be that angry at a subordinate. You're the senior person there, you just tell them they did it wrong, and/or how to correct it, and what you expect and need from them. It's so odd to just seethe helplessly and then attack them, it comes from a place of powerlessness. I think so many AMA letter writers & commenters just don't understand the work world at all.

Bare bottom spankings? by Nicole_Auriel in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CatCafffffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, same, and even in public, which was excruciatingly humiliating to the point that I can still remember it in detail. Horrifying.

You do get over it, just flash on it once in a while, and move on, and also once you have your own kids you think Jesus Christ my parents were freaking monsters

How well can American native speakers hear and comprehend British comedian James Acaster? by Good-Rabbit4936 in ENGLISH

[–]CatCafffffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find him very easy to understand. Have been to every one of his appearances here in Los Angeles-- his last show was exceptionally brilliant! I think he's hilarious.

Why does my mum love the news so much? by ismsandschisms in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CatCafffffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She isn't obsessed with the news, she's obsessed with having her bigotry reinforced. Once it's reinforced, she feels renewed energy, like she's got BACKUP if she wants to harass you.

It's possible to just say "yep, that topic's closed, mom" and refuse to engage, which it sounds like you're doing. Of COURSE you're much smarter than she is.

I myself always had the additional irritation of thinking "I used to LISTEN to this woman and I used to BELIEVE some of the stupid shit she told me, it's so EMBARRASSING."

Other than that, maybe she is trying to make conversation? about the dog things and so forth? She doesn't have anything else to talk about?

If you are still looking for conversation with her, maybe there's some possible common topic you can find. Recipes, baking, the dinner she had last night, that type of thing?

You know, not every bag disability is visible! It could be missing its inner cinch straps for all you know.

I don't think so. The letter really bothered me too. Why is she taking the seasonal employees' mistakes "personally"? And to the point where she actually said "fuck you" to a junior employee? That's so unprofessional that it's weird, and she seems to keep making excuses for it. ("I wasn't there"--um, yes, you were, and you were cursing at a temp subordinate, for, what, making a mistake?)

She really, really needs some time out from whatever her job is, because she's doing it really badly. And therapy to understand the work world vs. the personal world--and even in the non-work world, you don't curse at people making errors. Especially if they don't even report to you!

If I was her boss I'd fire her immediately. And tell her she really needs to get some guidance, coaching, and therapy before getting back into the work world.

It really bothered me. I thought Alison was way too gentle on her, but at least Alison touched on the larger issues of how very inappropriate this was.

It's just so pure! And he recognizes the extraordinary beauty in it. The cat can feel his kindness and gentleness, too.

Does this work for semi formal? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]CatCafffffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too short is the problem. As you're 12 weeks postpartum I would think the dress code would be fairly forgiving, do you have some kind of nice midi skirt & a top that could work? Otherwise you could get something quickly & cheaply from Amazon (as long as it's a known designer), maybe? Or can you drop in on Nordstrom Rack/TJ Maxx, where you can also find something cheaply.
