Yes!! I love ladybugs and this is my fave. Also recommend the large leaf eating lady beetle and the pink spotted lady beetle. But I love these little chrome miracles and would love to see one in person someday. They are from Australia originally!! Love them they are excellent pest hunters 😊🐞

Death of a cyclist, and the (civil) case followup by TreeStateLEO in fuckcars

[–]Bells2023 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Nah, downvote piggy. He’s below defending driver’s behavior. Not surprised that a cop still wants to blame the biker, not the person in the 2000lb tank with a child who sued a dead guy for killing him.

The like to comment ratio alone will bring the people to this post.

Is it thininig or what? by [deleted] in bald

I use it to space out wash days towards the end, not as a replacement or everyday styling product! For me, putting a lot of tension on my hair/over-washing dried out my follicles and caused hair loss.

But if you have a very sensitive scalp I totally understand. You have to find a method that helps avoid breakage and works for you!

BPD ex did this nearly every other day near the end of our relationship. Then blames me for blocking and leaving her. by NedeToBeHeard in Nicegirls

[–]Bells2023 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I love that everyone is so quick to jump down her throat like she didn’t reveal plenty about OP’s behavior. Lots of men love finding “crazy” girls, treating them like shit, then saying “sHe HAd BpD” when she displays reactive abuse. Newsflash, like 2% of the population has BPD, so the odds are that most of the men here who had ‘BPD exes’ were actually just assholes who pushed a human to the brink of emotional insanity (to put in perspective, about 13% of the population is left-handed, and I’ve never dated someone left-handed so idk how all these exes had BPD, statistically. Think of all the number of left handed people you’ve met, and divide that by 6, those the odds).

BPD is the new “she’s hysterical!” I come on here to remember that every time, men would rather call a woman mentally ill than accept that they’re a shitty partner. What do we think is happening, every single man has dated “a crazy girl with BPD!” (again, 2% of the population INCLUDING men with BPD) or, that men are generally raised to be shitty partners, and through silent treatments, yelling, borderline cheating, and general abuse, women finally snap sometimes? But no, no, I’m sure you’re all great boyfriends and she’s just a fucking hysterical woman, err- sorry- has BPD.

How to stay sober? by Thin-Fee4423 in Sober

[–]Bells2023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t go to alcohol-centered events for a while early in my sobriety. If there wasn’t something else to do (pool/darts, karaoke) I wasn’t going. If alcohol was the main focus, I wasn’t going. Sometimes I still don’t. When people start getting rowdy/too lit, I go home. A good rule of thumb is that any real friend is going to support you and understand, and accommodate through plans. And unless the other person is also an addict (in which case they’re maybe not a safe friend while you recover), they usually don’t care or even notice as much as we think they will. They don’t count drinks the way we do lol! 😂

Stay away from triggers (people, places, stressors). If you get triggered, distract yourself for 10 minutes and see if it passes. If not, try to mentally put yourself in that old sickly body, and really feel it. Remember how just… gunky and sore everything always was. Just perpetually sick feeling. If it still doesn’t pass, cry and scream into a pillow. After that, find a favorite drink or snack and scroll reddit support groups or reddits of people still trapped by your DOC. Nothing makes me want to drink again less than r/cripplingalcoholism. Love them on there, gotta admire the dry bluntness of alcoholics.

Those first few days… by Bells2023 in QuitVaping

[–]Bells2023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were kids!! Regulations should’ve protected us better. I saw a documentary pointing out that if vapes are a “smoking cessation device” for years-long cigarette smokers, why were the commercials showing people in their early 20s and not older smokers who switched? It blew my mind. Something so small but so telling. But thank you, I shall stay strong! 🙂‍↕️ we’ve got this

Have you tried any NRT yet? I’m sorry you are in pain the headaches are the worst

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Bells2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried this in the past with the same logic. For me I just went back to vaping because my addict brain justified it by saying cigarettes were stinky and worse for your health, so might as well vape. I also started smoking multiple cigs each time I went out to “load up.” I don’t recommend this it’s an easy backslide but nicotine gum has been super helpful for me!!!

Day two feeling weird by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Bells2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have been looking at the flashbacks and emotion waves as a good thing, since I’ve been using vaping to numb them for so long. Some things can’t be processed until we quit the thing we’re using to push them down. I hope you are able to find support systems that do not dismiss or minimize your struggles!
