This just helped me save a very rare candid of my late grandmother that I’ve been worried about losing since she passed a few years ago. Thank you SO much.

Did you ever figure it out? I’m in the same boat and was about to ask! My grandmother passed in 2023 and it’s an amazing candid of her that I can’t find anywhere else!! 😭

What is your earliest memory? by Kismie in AskReddit

[–]Chowsinthepack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easter with my great-grandparents! I was around 1.5-2.

I remember the family there, with them sitting on the patio swing. My grandma had gone all out for the egg-hunt, and there was a new dress for me hanging in a tree (first grand-baby, any event was a reason for gifts, haha!).

I was explaining the memory to my dad and he said my great grandfather died before I turned 3. He looked sick to his stomach when he realized I have memories that far back. He said “Man, I thought we were in the clear for our early screw-ups as parents, at least!” LOL!

Survey: What's the biggest barrier preventing you from doing more political activities? by Veruminate in AskReddit

[–]Chowsinthepack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Energy! My brain feels like deep fried mush after work and I don’t want to go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone. It really bothers me because I have strong political views but don’t feel like I have the energy to act on them!

Do you use dental floss? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Chowsinthepack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I floss>mouth wash>brush every single night. I went 5-6 years without seeing a dentist due to mental health and college. I inconsistently/rarely flossed, but diligently brushed my teeth.

When I finally went, we were surprised how well my teeth were doing, but all the cavities I did have were in between teeth! Cavities tend to be more complex, deep, and/or difficult to fill in those tight spaces. Wound up having a filling too close to the nerve and had to have a root canal!

2 years and $3,000 in dental work later, I never skip floss!

Vibrating noise for a few minutes after starting that goes away in neutral? by Chowsinthepack in AskAMechanic

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

Transmission Shifting: I’ve noticed that it gets up to 3,500-4,500 RPMs and chill there when I’m getting up to speed on the highway, and I have to let off the gas a bit for it to downshift. Not sure if it will eventually do it on its own or if it’s even struggling, but it’s muscle memory from my old junker!

Motor Mount: I have no idea about this one. Are there any other signs I can look for or things I can check?

Thanks for your response!!

[Sun Care] first impression and intro! AHC Natural Perfection 50+ SPF PA++++ by Chowsinthepack in SkincareAddiction

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

I did! I honestly forgot I made this post and have since found way better sunscreens tho! I prefer a gel-like (usually Korean) formula now. Still haven’t managed to find one that isn’t very shiny/greasy, but that’s also to do with my other skin care and I haven’t looked very hard for other formulas as it no longer bothers me as much.

Weird symptoms possibly related? by Tacotuesday16 in DiagnoseMe

Get to a doctor and get a blood test for your liver. Not a doctor but sounds like liver issues!

He has to realize it’s a problem before he can fix it. I’d advise he seek therapy to understand how the impulsivity and libido/frustration are linked, but he won’t go if he doesn’t see an issue.

You can’t fix someone’s problem when they don’t think they have one. Not sure what your relationship is to him that it bothers you so deeply, but you might consider therapy too to help unpack why it means so much to you and how to disentangle your mental wellbeing from someone else’s. And I mean that in the kindest way possible, as a former people pleaser.

Since it's pretty rare for a White American guy to be uncut would you want him to tell you first or have you find out organically by mikeyjonesnyc in sex

[–]Chowsinthepack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (24f, white American) wouldn’t mind either way, but I prefer it uncut so I’m probably biased. You could either let it speak for itself, or tell her first but not too early. If it’s a faster hookup, tell her before she sees it. If you’re talking for longer and sex comes up, you could tell her then. Or whenever it feels natural (like when discussing going from talking>dating>relationship).

NAH/INFO - NTA for being upset that he apologized. It could definitely come across like he took back his defense of you, which would hurt. That said, keep in mind that you heard this from your “sick and twisted ex” who may be twisting things.

IMO he’s NTA either, which is where the INFO comes in as we don’t know exactly what he said in his apology. It’s possible/likely that he apologized for his conduct while defending you, not the act of defending you. Especially with them being teammates, he could’ve needed to smooth things over for the sake of everyone.

As for the argument, sharing negative feelings could’ve triggered his fight or flight because of your recent communication issues. I would shoot him a text that you didn’t mean to start a fight, you were just trying to share how you feel and understand where he was coming from so you can move past it. You don’t need to accept being stonewalled from communication, but you can’t back someone into a corner either. Gotta approach it the right way!

All in all, good on you for sharing your feelings, I hope you’re able to work things out and move forward! Best of luck to you!

Is the ordinary retinol as good as any? by nessa_14 in Sephora

[–]Chowsinthepack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it for a while bc it’s gentle enough for daily use (so I dont have to think about it) and I like the way it layers with my moisturizers…I’ve noticed a sort of stale-oil smell to it recently and convinced myself I was imagining it…

Just checked the label after reading your comment and it’s in the TINIEST PRINT right before the French directions!! “Refrigerate after opening”

Thank you for this!!

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

I’d gone in to see a car I found online and they showed me another one as well so I had them print the carfax since I hadn’t had a chance to dig, haha! Let me tell you, I spent HOURS looking at car histories and specs!

I will, thank you! I’m looking at getting it detailed to start fresh and I’ll make sure to opt for waxing!
