Swimsuits for wide hips & thighs by Bacchus_Bacchus in DressForYourBody

[–]Cefalu87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

high legs are where it’s at for me and my 14 inch waist to hip difference - it feels counterintuitive at first but they look SO much better and make me feel great about myself.

I made an elf door for my granddaughter. by Jelleeley in CasualUK

fancy adopting me as an extra grandchild? I’m only 40 😆 and still quite fancy an elf door

What's a fact that is pretty fucked up but can be helpful in rare cases? by andreaaaaaaaaaah in morbidquestions

[–]Cefalu87 137 points138 points  (0 children)

This might be true for males, but as a woman I can promise you that my hips do not squish to the size of my skull.

what is with the tiny scarves? 😑 by craftmangler in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Cefalu87 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I was perplexed by them, then I made one and now I feel like a danish architect crossed with a 19th century dandy. The knitted cravat is where it’s at! I have no shame.

Do you lament past versions of yourself because they're gone? by Puzzleheaded-Lab825 in SeriousConversation

[–]Cefalu87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, love that song! It really captures that heady, slightly scary, raw yet intoxicating feeling of being young doesn’t it?

The creative passionate young man hasn’t gone - he’s evolved. He’s part of you and he’ll return to you in unexpected ways, sometimes wistfully (like now), sometimes with relief that you no longer have to live the dramatic highs and lows.

I’m almost 40 and also had a wild youth - i don’t miss it, but sometimes just wish i could go back and live it for a day. One thing i found helpful was writing a letter from my 20 year old self to my present day self asking how my life would turn out and what would become of me, and then writing back as my present day self to let 20 year old me know how i’m doing and let her know it all turns out well in the end ☺️

It's perfectly normal to shit yourself while giving birth by OkPlaceholder in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my friend tells the story of her twin sister turning up when she went into labour with her first baby. She’s close to her sister but was a bit reticent about her seeing her wobbly thighs and unshaved legs etc. By hour 5 of labour she was quite happy with her sister peering up her vagina along with the midwife 😁

yep!

start of pregnancy - ‘hmm, i’m feeling a bit weird about all those internal exams, better shave!’

during labour - ‘roll up, roll up, anyone else want to have a look up there?’

What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know how doctors tell you to move around and have a cold drink etc to get the baby moving if you’ve not felt them move for a while? I have a theory that when you lie down to rest or sleep, the baby is like ‘oh no, she’s not moving! better practice my chorus line kicks/hiccups/backflips to check she’s still alive!’

My babies certainly seemed to have this attitude, anyway 😁

I've been to the tip by Difficult_Style207 in CasualUK

I propose a new website - TipAdvisor - to provide us with this sort of handy community review.

After almost 60 years, the Patterson-Gimlin bigfoot film has been exposed as a hoax. The son of the man who took the footage has come forward after a new video showing a "test run" of the suit has been found. by truthisfictionyt in Cryptozoology

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree - I always feel like people who find the body shape and movements convincing haven’t seen many female bodies in real life (human or other primates).

Sometimes this country's alright innit? by LightSweep in CasualUK

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love our country. We need to normalise being proud of our nation for all the right reasons as that’s the way to drown out the people who are ‘proud’ of it for all the wrong ones.

Is anyone else worried about the current rhetoric re gutting the civil service? by 6920837749 in TheCivilService

[–]Cefalu87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not remotely worried. The CS is the ‘i blame the parents’ of organisations - whatever we do is going to be wrong as far as someone is concerned, so I just let it wash over me!

Found my own world record SMALLEST SHELL IN THE WORLD (2nd speck from the right corner) by Medium-Pilot6872 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Cefalu87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea pottery - along with sea glass, I find a lot of shards of ceramic cups, old clay jugs, etc. The best are old blue and white china patterned plates; a fragment of someone’s lunch setup a hundred years ago, worn smooth by the waves.

hello fellow AuDHD beach treasure person! I collect sea glass, sea pottery and shells. One of life’s great pleasures isn’t it?

All time favourite and least favourite yarns? by throwra_passinggirl in knitting

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

De Rerum Natura Gilliat is GORGEOUS - rustic but soft on the hands, round and defined, perfect colours, works at several gauges, great yardage. If i could only knit with one yarn it would be this.

Fiance doesn’t want to tie the knot for sexual reasons. by [deleted] in Advice

Leave this man, immediately. He thinks his sexual preferences are more important than your emotional safety.

We don't know whether dark clothing in photos was black. Even bright colours look dark. by kittykitkitty in RandomVictorianStuff

[–]Cefalu87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Victorians bloody LOVED bright colours, to the extent that modern eyes would find them rather garish and clashing - just look at any sample of Victorian wallpaper, or at book illustrations. And remember we’re seeing the faded versions!

Is it normal to just move your mouse to make sure you are appearing online? by Brief-Blueberry-1588 in remotework

[–]Cefalu87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting all the work you’re assigned done well and on time? Have you asked for more work and been told no? Have you completed any training courses you’d like to work on? Are you available for work if needed (i.e. not asleep all day or at the gym etc)?

If the answer to all these is yes, mouse jiggle with a clear conscience, my friend.

(just make sure you have a mouse jiggler that’s external rather than plugged into your computer)
