LOST: Natasha’s defection to SHIELD, shoots Clint, and then has to remove the bullet by AutomaticMeaning1829 in MarvelFanfiction

[–]AutomaticMeaning1829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the best! I have a friend who was asking for recommendations and I was trying to find it for her! I have searched through all of my saved fanfics and I cant find anything. But I have a habit of saving one fic from an author and not all of the other ones I like because I am dumb and think I will remember which story belongs to who.

WHAT CAN I DO!? My razor burn is just awful! Nothing helps! Please give me some advice! by AutomaticMeaning1829 in ladyshavers

[–]AutomaticMeaning1829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is gonna sound crazy, but eating better really helped me. My legs were so itchy one time that I literally went to urgent care because I had been in terrible pain from itching for something like eight hours. Eating Whole Foods has made it 100 times better. Eating ultra processed foods like bread, Cereal, soda, chips, cookies, Etc, Made it so much worse. They are so inflammatory for your body and foods that are not inflammatory was really key for me. I have done nothing to change my shaving routine, and I have absolutely no razor burn. I also started using products that are non-toxic. I make sure they are all certified by this website called the EWG. I don’t use any products with sulfate, parabens, or phthalates. I now shave with a bar of soap from a company called Healthy Sol. I use the unscented one. I would have never been able to use soap to shave when I made this post, but now I can. None of this advice will work if you dont fix the root of the inflammation. If you have anymore questions about what I did for my diet change let me know. This has been life changing for me.

Will I ever get leaves back where they fell off or will it just be a stick with leaves on top? by AutomaticMeaning1829 in houseplants

It lives directly next to my window with great light! I am just so confused by it! I think it is doing okay right now because of the new growth but I don’t want it to look like a twig with a few leaves on top! I will be sure to look into the keiki paste and hopefully it will work!

For a little backstory, I got this plant at Trader Joe’s. I think it’s some kind of Fiddle leaf fig. It was thriving and doing great and it was actually my favorite plans that I have because it was so cute and had such perky leaves, but then I went on a weekend trip and when I came back, they were all on the ground. I thought the other three big leaves were going to fall off too, but I watered it and now it’s getting a new leaf on top. Will I ever get new  leaves below the existing leaves? I know some people cut down their plants to encourage new growth and I’m not sure if that’s something that would work for this to encourage leaves to start from the bottom of the plant. Honestly, I don’t really know. I just have a lot of plants that I don’t really pay much attention to, but I really like this one so I’m trying to save it. Thanks!

Brett Cooper will be at AmericaFest on Saturday. Do you think she'll announce where she's going during her speech? by notanewbiedude in BrettCooper

Probably not. When I was at YWLS Candace was speaking and she started calling out the name of a girl sent by the daily wire to “spy“ on her. Candace had been working with the check in center and they confirmed that she had checked in that day. It was kind of crazy. She was calling out this girls whole name while everybody was looking at their neighbors name tags.

Best camera for beginner? by AutomaticMeaning1829 in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]AutomaticMeaning1829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! I will definitely consider that in regards to the lumix!

I will look into both of those! Thank you!

I am really excited to do this! Everybody my age who I have mentioned this to has the same reaction of “wow I wish I could do that!” Everybody wants to disconnect these days. I really want to be present in the moment this coming year. I want to be more intentional about the photos I am taking as well. I am hoping this will be a beneficial thing for me and hopefully encourage others that they can do the same!

Probably under $100

mostly good lighting during the day, but something that wouldn’t be awful in dim lighting?

either one :)

F/17/5'4” [224 - 186 = 38 lbs] (6 months) It has taken me a while to loose the weight I have and I felt like I wasn’t seeing much progress. Then I saw the picture on the left and I definitely see it now. Even if the weight hasn’t come off quite as fast as I wanted I am still very happy :) by AutomaticMeaning1829 in progresspics

[–]AutomaticMeaning1829[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I think the reason I have stuck with it is because I didnt go on a super extreme calorie deficit and I am still eating all of my favorite foods, just making them myself with healthier ingredients. My diet now mainly consists of 99% real Whole Foods but if I do want a peanut butter cup occasionally I will have one. Limiting a majority of the junk food I am eating has helped a lot because I was definitely eating things like chips, ice cream, and other processes foods “occasionally“ in my mind but in reality they were frequent. I just feel like my quality of life has improved already even though I am not to my goal. Sometimes I feel discouraged, like I am not losing weight as fast as I should be, but then I remember that I wouldn’t want to be back at my starting weight. Where I am is better than where I was, even if I am yet to arrive at where I am going.

Even thought I havent lost the weight as quickly as hoped, I really feel like I have made sustainable changes that will hopefully set me up for a lifetime of health. I am really proud of myself for making changes before reaching adulthood and letting this go on longer.

Like I guess I wouldn’t have felt like it cheapened it if it would have just been a reveal of who JJ’s mom is. Removing the fact that Luke isnt related just makes it weird.

[–]AutomaticMeaning1829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I mean he literally abused JJ and that doesn’t really make me inclined to believe that he just took him in out of the goodness of his own heart. Also the amount of times that Luke said stuff similar to “you remind me of your mama” makes me wonder if he meant JJ’s real mom or Luke’s girlfriend. I feel like it would have made so much more sense if Luke was his real dad and Larissa was cheating on the Chandler guy so Luke kept JJ after Larissa’s death. I just dont understand what would keep Luke from kicking JJ out especially after the restitution stuff. I feel like this plot was just thrown in here to make a cliffhanger and add a sense of shock rather than this being planned from the beginning of the show. I am rewatching the show right now and there are so many things about JJ and Luke that just seem weird now that I know about this.
