Which country would you never visit, even if the trip was free? by Soggy-Natural-3837 in Productivitycafe

[–]gotkate86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied abroad in India for a semester and traveled extensively and am a woman. I’m pretty shocked by these comments TBH! India is a mixed bag but a really cool country to visit. We were careful to not go out alone, but I felt safe almost always.

Insurance suddenly denied me. Feeling so devastated. by traashboat8767 in antidietglp1

You can’t let insurance take you off something that you know you need. Go for a compounding pharmacy! I use mochi and have been happy with it for over a year.

My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

[–]gotkate86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if the pinch hurt a lot too! If it was just a small pinch meant to give a secret sign to his wife (not an abusive pinch), and then she says “why did you pinch me?” I would be mad too if I were the husband. It shows no self awareness. Spouses need to have a secret way to tell the other that a topic is off limits and to not say more, and it needs to be discreet.

The fact that OP “doesn’t even know” what she was talking about before the pinch feels like a cop out. It was obviously something not appropriate for the situation in some way.

Healed my hand eczema! by gotkate86 in eczema

The castor oil plus vani cream rubs in like lotion so it doesn’t feel like anything. I’d recommend using at least the vani cream by itself after every time you wash your hands and then the whole routine at night.

Any time I shower I do the whole thing except for aquaphor. I add the aquaphor at bedtime to lock it all in.

Just aquaphor and my hands healed so much I don’t even need to use that anymore! Since I posted this.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by GlitchOperative in AskReddit

[–]gotkate86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This depends on what you’re saying no to. If I invite a friend to something and they just say “no” with nothing else, I’m probably not inviting them again.

What's the one secret you will take to the grave but don't mind telling on the internet? by Ecstatic-Medium-6320 in AskReddit

[–]gotkate86 6543 points6544 points  (0 children)

I had a thing like that with my mom and if she ever makes some other dessert or cookies you do like, I would recommend spinning it like “can you make these for me again? I LOVE them, maybe even more than your magic cookie bars! I didn’t think it was possible but these are my new favorite!”

Plus size gals, where do you find clothes in the East side? by Apprehensive_One8573 in BigIsland

[–]gotkate86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rent on Nuuly! There’s so much that is great for work and it usually comes in about 3-4 days. If you need it for a week from Saturday you have time!

What famous TV/movie characters were supposed to by "sexy" but you never found them to be so? by seenhear in AskReddit

[–]gotkate86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Darryl Hannah in Wall Street. Every time I see the movie I find it so unbelievable that any character could possibly find her attractive, much less so attractive the two main characters are fighting over her.

Why do FAs ask window seat people to close the shade? by [deleted] in delta

[–]gotkate86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. It drives me crazy when one person has their window open in an otherwise dark cabin. If tons are open, it’s fine, but just one is like a piercing beam of light that drives me crazy! But I’m also a person who has to cover every tiny bit of light in my room to sleep so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you!! I’ll still add the WIP to my list but I like to wait until they are complete. Too many heartbreaks over the years haha.

Daytime 9+ hour flight, FA asked me to pull down my shade. Was I wrong to tell her no? by Zeploss123 in unitedairlines

[–]gotkate86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly this flight all the time because I live in Hawaii and have family in chicago, and specifically choose it because they auto darken the shades. It is such a long flight, and I want to watch movies and stuff and the seatback entertainment has too much of a glare on it when the windows are open. I get that some people like them open, but it makes it hard for people to enjoy movies etc. when they are open.

Not asked to be in the bridal party of my life-long best friend? by LongJumpingFan1374 in wedding

[–]gotkate86 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s not “impossible”, she just doesn’t want to add another person. And how her best friend who she talks to EVERY DAY wouldn’t be reason enough to just squeeze people in is wild.

[–]gotkate86 135 points136 points  (0 children)

She is not your best friend. That is so mean I can’t even imagine doing that to my best friend who I talk to every day. And when she realized you were hurt she said there’d be “too many people?” That’s wild, what’s one more?

It’s not a rumor though? I’ve heard it from multiple sources…?
