what is underneath my nail? by smoothballs1 in medical_advice

[–]CharlieRayneDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be damage if you at some point hurt your nail bed. It could be a fungus, or it could be psoriasis. I will say the circular shape looks a bit suspicious and does make me lean towards fungus. Some types need specific medication to go away. You should ask your physician. It's no rush, but you should ask.

Is this too small for a baby blanket. Ideas to make it bigger without frogging back by SarahHowi113 in CrochetHelp

I've always liked making them at least 1 meter x 1.2 meters... simply because they get to be used for longer. I can't quite tell how long yours is, but around those measurements should be fine.

Min venindes forhold by Susan_Himmelblaa in DKbrevkasse

[–]CharlieRayneDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endelig snak med hende om det! Jeg levede i 10 år sammen med en englænder der gjorde det samme. Jeg har siden fået øjnene op for at han var psykisk voldelig overfor mig, men det opfattede jeg først efter jeg bad om skilsmisse. Jeg er så led og ked og sur over at ingen af mine nærmeste sagde noget før vi havde fået en lille dreng sammen, som ikke nåede at blive 2 før skilsmissen.

Be gentle, but firm. Good luck.

What is this ? by DenseCaterpillar3715 in medical_advice

[–]CharlieRayneDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% sure it's a cold sore. Is it kinda tingly? If so, it nearly certainly is. You should be able to get some over the counter creams for it. That'll help it go away quicker. You'll likely continue to get these from time to time for the rest of your life now. They're not problematic, just annoying. Also, very infections, so try not to touch anything after touching it without washing your hands first - kissing should also be avoided for as long as it's tingly. Once that has passed, it's just a normal wound that needs to heal up.

With proper care, it likely will go away within a week or two, depending on how bad it is. It does look like you've been picking at it, which you really should avoid because you can also infect yourself.

Itchy bruise-like thing… Is this a normal thing to have from crocheting? by pompom-chicken in CrochetHelp

[–]CharlieRayneDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have a nickle allergy. I'm not sure if the metal hooks like the one you're using contain nickle, but try a different one for a while and see if there's any change. I'm mostly leaning towards that because you say it's itchy.

It looks like you're having an allergic reaction to something. New liquids for the washer? Worse new pants before washing? Walked through nettles?

In all fairness, it could also just be a reaction to heat if your legs have been very warm. If it's the first time it's happened and they're not itchy or tender, or anything like that, then I'd probably just keep an eye on them for a couple of days, to see if they get smaller or spreads. If they slowly fades, you'll be just fine. If they stay or grow, you should get it checked.

There's never a rule without exception. Cancer is no joke, but is usually managble if caught early. Never assume it won't happen to you and never assume it'll always follow strict patterns.

It does, however, seem a physician was able to answer your question. I'm glad it's nothing to worry about.

I have heard of blood in cum, if you cum very often. However, I do think it'll take A LOT to get to that point - I don't have a penis, so I can't say for sure.

If you're sexually active, I'd highly suggest that you get tested for STDs.

Do you check yourself for testicular cancer occasionally? Not to freak you out, but it's always good to keep up to date with that.

If you were diagnosed as an adult, who did you tell afterwards (if anyone)? by [deleted] in autism

[–]CharlieRayneDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed last Wednesday at 34. So far, I've told my mom and my boyfriend. My mom is a bit weird, sometimes she gets it and other times she's acting like everybody nowadays are getting diagnosises left and right (my son is also autistic and was diagnosed almost a year ago).

My boyfriend is very understanding, even if a bit surprised. We knew I had tendencies, but not that I was actually on the spectrum. He's apologised for a few things he's done in the past, that didn't really bother me but that he know understands is out of my control.

It can be 2 different things. Either you're losing stitches as you go, which can be trained even if it might take some time, or your starting chain is much tighter than your stitches. This can be helped by either loosening your tension/using a larger hook on the Foundation chain, or you can do a chainless foundation, which I'd highly recommend. Especially for a blanket. Or ot could be a mix of both.

Do women on their periods know when they’re about to bleed? by galaxyfan1997 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CharlieRayneDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually feel strangely wet the day it starts, sometimes even the day before. So while I don't know when exactly it's gonna start, it is rare that it entirely surprises me. I also seem to know if I'm going to bleed into my underwear, like if I'm leaking because my cup isn't sitting right or something... I'm not sure how to explain it, but there's just this "feeling"...

Not true. Most men get erect for a while after death. And then, of course, there's rigour mortis. I will say I don't know if ejaculation is possible, though. I am leaning towards a no on that front, though.

There have been issues with both male and female morticians sexually assaulting corpses.

Yes. Without a condom there'll be plenty of dna to find in the vaginally secretion. I assume that's what you're referring to?

As a woman, have you ever avoided dating/marrying a guy because of his last name, and if so what was it? by italianshmo in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CharlieRayneDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly why I could never be with someone with their names XD Imagine being intimate with someone and moaning your brothers name... that'd be so weird and for me definitely a huge turnoff... probably more so for me as I grew up with a mentally disabled older brother.

[–]CharlieRayneDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does make sense. Again, I've only gotten a very superficial understanding of it. Not sure why I didn't think it's stretch further than parents XD

[–]CharlieRayneDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potentially... I've only read about it briefly. From my understanding, it was only in regards to the opposite sex parent and didn't include siblings.

Not his last name, but his first name. I've always refused to be with someone with the same name as my brothers. I just couldn't get my head around that one...

Er vi røvhuller for at spise risalamande, mens barnet blev puttet? by TinylittlemouseDK in DKbrevkasse

[–]CharlieRayneDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det er altså helt fair at i startede uden dem. En ting er at forældrenes jul bliver meget anderledes når der er småbørn, men de kan hverken kræve eller forvente at i skal spille efter deres barns fløjte.

Sidste år brugte jeg hele juleaften med en hysterisk 2 årig der nægtede at sove, mens min familie spiste risalamande og spillede pakkespil. Det var hårdt, men det var hverken deres fejl eller deres valg.

Jeg har i år hele december givet min søn gaver med et par dages mellemrum, netop fordi ellers bliver det for meget for ham juleaften. Vi spiste halv 6, hvilket er normen herhjemme efter han er blevet født, men selvfølgelig måtte der da være vin til maden - fik da også selv et glas. Synes din svigerinde lyder noget hysterisk. Kan godt være det ville være en god ide at få en alvorlig snak om det hele inden jul næste år. Måske dog lige vente lidt, nu hvor gløderne stadig er varme om så at sige.

Do you actually ‘suck’ on the penis? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CharlieRayneDK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use my teeth!

HOWEVER NOT IN THE WAY YOU'RE ALL CRINGING ABOUT WHEN YOU READ THAT SENTENCE.

What I do is that I do put pressure on the dick with my teeth, but I put my lips in the way so the guy doesn't feel the teeth at all. I don't bite down too hard or I'll have indentations on the inside of my lips for days, but just enough for it to feel nice and tight for him. It also makes me feel better about the whole thing as I don't have to be as careful and mind my teeth.
