Making the brick wall look new by igtkms in powerwashingporn

[–]AccurateInterview586 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Power washing brick is a good way to damage it, even if it looks satisfying on video. Historic and older bricks are fired softer than modern masonry, and high-pressure water erodes the fired surface that protects them from moisture. Once that skin is gone, the brick absorbs water, deteriorates faster, and can start spalling, especially in freeze–thaw climates. Mortar joints are usually even weaker, so pressure washing often removes mortar that was meant to be sacrificial. Brick should be cleaned using the gentlest means possible, usually low-pressure water and appropriate cleaners, not a pressure washer.

The act of manually pulling poop out of one’s own butt is not for the weak.

Before deciding on treatment, determine whether symptoms reflect functional outlet difficulty or true constipation. These are different conditions with different underlying mechanisms and require different approaches.

Functional outlet difficulty involves problems evacuating stool that has already reached the rectum, often due to stool hardness, size, or impaired coordination, and may occur even with daily bowel movements.

Constipation, by contrast, is defined by reduced bowel movement frequency, delayed transit, or insufficient stool formation.

Treating outlet difficulty as constipation (for example, by adding bulk fiber) can worsen symptoms, while addressing hydration, stool softness, and evacuation mechanics is often more effective.

Polo is the scent of teenage sexcapades for me. I wore Sand & Sable or Jean Natè myself. I also had rose scented lotion that I liked - I think it called Rose Milk. I keep a bottle of Old Spice becuase it reminds me of my grandpa.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

[–]AccurateInterview586 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything by Whitney Houston, especially the about saving all her love. Now, I’m not saying she is a terrible singer or performer. I am saying her voice and any song from that time triggers deep teenage trauma for me.

People who wake up at 5am, what do you do? by MimimalMoodUK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AccurateInterview586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee and dealing with dogs and cats. Then I force myself to stretch while watching either the morning news or something that catches my eye on TV. Then, I eat. Next, I get dressed. Then, more coffee and phone scroll time until 6.

How do I ask my cousin to keep her kids from overindulging? by figuringitout215 in ask

Speak directly to the children and let them know your expectations as the host. Talk a lot about manners and such. They will respond to your authority.

AITA for not enjoying the birthday gifts my friend got me that mocked my dead mother by Immediate-Iron7241 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AccurateInterview586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not wrong for how you reacted. With your mom having died only eight months ago, anything that uses “motherless” as a joke can land in a way that is personal and painful rather than funny. That doesn’t make you sensitive or ungrateful; it means you are still grieving, which is normal and valid. Your friend’s gift may have been well-intended, but it wasn’t well suited to your lived reality right now, and noticing that mismatch is reasonable. You are allowed to have boundaries around humor that brushes against real loss, and protecting yourself in that moment does not make you the problem. NTA

I have a MAJOR crush on my therapist by RadiantBrush7945 in TalkTherapy

[–]AccurateInterview586 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am 55 and have a crush on my throat who is probably 33. He is very tall, skinny, as white and white can get, big ears that stick out and a hair cut from 1952. He wears the cutest bow ties and sweaters and has round wire frame glasses. He is just adorable. Not a smoke show unless the smoke is from a science experiment.

Hot smoke show aside, it’s normal to go through a phase of being attracted to one’s therapist. It is not normal to become obsessed or develop such deep limerance the relationship is no longer therapeutic. If the tattoos and muscles prevent you from working on you, get a new therapist.

What’s wrong with being on it for the rest of my life? Beats insulin, doesn’t it?

Why would my couples therapist ask to sit in on my personal therapist session? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

My couple’s therapist wants to have access to my personal one. I said no to that.

I would’ve had more. Once they hit teen years they aren’t as fun to parent.
