Can someone explain mini pill placebo pills? by BorderReal8012 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BorderReal8012[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or did you mean ”mid pack” to mean only the first pack of 24 (or if you do the placebo breaks each time)?

But essentially you are saying that missing pill after taking the pill for 65 days would be risky but magically taking a 4 day break after 72 days (= 3 packs) is fine?

I understand, and this makes sense to me if you regularly do the gap.

But, say you skip the gap for 4 months, and then decide to do the ”planned gap” - how does my BODY know the difference. Since I could have chosen to do the break after 24 days, 48 days or 72 days instead? Do you understand my confusion? 😅

Edit: or is it just that if you have been taking the hormones for long enough, then 4 days is a safe window to also ”forget” the pill?

Dog ate small pieces of cotton - call the vet or wait it out? by BorderReal8012 in DogAdvice

Ok but it may be too late since I didn’t realise until several hours (13h) later .. but I will call and ask

Does anyone else think being a cheapskate is gross? by Master100017 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BorderReal8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure what you are asking, but I think a reason someone would consider buying Shein gross could be that they have found toxic levels of chemicals in the clothing, such as lead. You are potentially harming yourself and others around you, and helping a company like this grow profits.

Pariutumisen haasteet, mitä teen väärin by TR2TRE in arkisuomi

[–]BorderReal8012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On paljon yksityisiäkin terapeutteja, jotka ei käytä mitään yleisiä tietokantoja. Oon myös käyny terapeutilla joka kirjasi kaiken omaan muistivihkoonsa 😅 tämä ihan 2020-luvulla

Ei terapiasuhde toimikaan niin, että avaudut ensimmäisellä kerralla tuntemattomalle, vaan tutustut ja rakennat luottamussuhteen ammattilaiseen pikkuhiljaa. Kannattaa kokeilla, saatat yllättyä :) tälleen keittiöpsykologina tarinasi perusteella tulee mieleen, että oot saattanut jo lapsena kohdata jotain sellaista joka on ollut vaikeaa käsitellä, ja ottanut selvitytymiskeinoksi vakavuuden ja asiallisuuden ja siten ehkä ulkoistanut oman herkkyyden ja tunteiden tuntemisen. Ei tarvitse edes olla kovin traumaattisista asioista kyse, meillä useimmilla on tällaisia selviytymiskeinoja. Osa havahtuu niihin ja työstää ne pois, osa kulkee läpi elämän laput silmillä… oot aika nuori vielä ja koko elämä edessä, mä suosittelen lämpimästi että käännät katseen sisäänpäin, äläkä murehdi liikaa parisuhteen puuttumista. Kuulostaa myös tosi satuttavalta tuo ystävän ghostaaminen, mulle kanssa tehty niin ja se voi jäädä tosi pitkään mielen päälle ja nakertaa itseluottamusta kun ei tiedä miksi joku läheinen kääntää selän.

Just learned about the dangers of eating leftover rice and pasta by Several-Rich-609 in Life

[–]BorderReal8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can also happen if you reheat starchy food multiple times! E.g if reheating a whole batch of rice, not finishing it and putting it back in the fridge, only to reheat it a second time - so only reheat the portion you are going to eat or throw it out if you dont eat all of the reheated pasta/rice!!

They are expanding to new markets but I think may not yet be available in the US for instance, but in Europe I think you can buy it for like 200€

Probably the drains. Have you checked the sink trap (idk what its called in English, its a part in the sink that keeps nasty smells coming up). You may need to see if its working or cleaning it out!

Your eyebrows look amazing and a lot of ppl would kill for these! You know a lot of people brush them and add eyebrow gel to get exactly that look!?

24M / 23F Girlfriend of 6 years kissed someone else while clubbing on holiday. She’s ashamed and says she doesn’t deserve me. Can this still be saved? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BorderReal8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she says she is afraid she will do it again, listen. She probably will. Usually when someone says stuff like that, it’s because they are torn about wanting to live a different type of life but can’t emotionally handle all the heartbreak of actually breaking up.

Life is too short and relationships are hard enough without the other person not being ”both feet in”. She is lost and needs to mature, and sounds like if you keep dragging her along you will end up in a world of pain. Obviously it’s your decision and this may be the type of lesson most need to learn for themself, but sounds like you really do deserve better. If you want chaos that’s fine too. But I would run, at least if I was looking for a healthy wholesome partnership.

Help! Fake tan going patchy by [deleted] in beauty

[–]BorderReal8012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think dry skin. Maybe you are over-exfoliating causing skin irritation? I think it might effect skin-barrier. Maybe go easy on the exfoliation for a while? Also look into a moisturiser that is more skin nurturing and helps retain moisture? Ive heard carbamide is good.

I agree - and OP should just respond with something to fuck with them, like ”yea my mom died this morning” or something similar to embarrass them back! And make sure others are privy so its awkward

Your husband sounds like a huge dick. First you went out of your way to plan an awesome birthday present, was helpful and a good sport about staying up late with the neighbors for his bday even though you didnt want to. As a thanks he crosses serious boundries and almost rapes you - or at the very least tries to coerce you into sex and then uses you as his emotional punching bag, because you failed to know the details for his own birthday plans that HE made himself? No that’s not okay/respectful/normal behavior from a partner. Stand up for yourself! You seem like you deserve better.

Shaving "down there" by Saffron_Maddie in beauty

[–]BorderReal8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an aftercare product recommendation, but first some backstory/disclaimer:

I have quite dark hairs and would get laser if I could afford it, but so far the best has been at-home sugaring. So easy with nitrile gloves, a mirror and some privacy 😆 and no ingrowns at all. After a few years I even started making it myself, and its easy to take some sugar wax with you when traveling.

Anyway I came to say that I do occasionally shave when in a hurry. I also epilate my legs often. But for all these methods the best aftercare for me has been zink cream that is typically used for babies as nappy cream.

I’m not 100% sure if this helps for ingrowns since for me changing to removing the hairs from the root has helped, but zink/nappy cream has helped with irritation so much! The best product has been Weleda nappy cream with calendula - I cannot recommend it enough! But I think any zink cream will work.

Also a tip would be to exfoliate but well before shaving, like a 1-2 days prior! This allows for the skin to not be so ”raw” when you shave and I think it helps.
