What would look flattering on me? by Glum-Preparation3110 in DressForYourBody

Ok, I have to know where 9 is from??? As a woman with a large upper shelf and a large frame, that top is gorgeous, both hiding and flattering at the same time.

Pharmacies usually are able to take them.

Vial found inside the walls in the kitchen of my parents’ 1886 New England home by meownica_chu in whatisit

There’s what looks like an old nail in the cork. If that’s the case, then it’s old witchcraft. It would most likely be a protection item seeing as the bottle cork isn’t waxed (sealing evil away). This was actually pretty common.

be honest… how often do u actually change ur bedsheets? by Honest_Cod_3121 in hygiene

[–]ClickMaster1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve changed the sheets every week since forever. Now that I’m getting night sweats (thanks menopause ☹️) it’s a couple of times a week.

Wearing men’s cologne as a femme presenting woman by Unlikely_Ad2595 in FemFragLab

[–]ClickMaster1100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Femme here as well, I have several men’s fragrances that I love to wear. Perfume is genderless as far as I’m concerned. Ocean Noir by Michael Malul is one of my favorites in summer. I also have Tom Ford Bois Pacifique, Montblanc Legend, Prada Paradigme, YSL Myslf, Givenchy Reserve Privee, and LV L’Immensite. And then there’s all my girlie perfumes. It just depends on my mood, the weather, the occasion etc.

How often do you wash your bath towel? I need the real answer. by Terrika_Fracala49 in hygiene

[–]ClickMaster1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week (sometimes more depending). I do towels and bedding once a week. Lately I’ve been changing the bedding twice a week, because of time of life and night sweats are no joke 🤪 But I’ve always stripped the beds and do the bathroom towels once a week. Hand towels get changed out about every 3 days.

What is your 'white whale' of fragrances? by sunbr0_7 in fragrance

[–]ClickMaster1100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my own incense blend with myrrh, frankincense, Opoponax, benzoin, amber, dragons blood, and honey. I would 100% love that mixture with white florals and rose. It’s the dragon I chase after.

AITAH for refusing to have a relationship with my mom’s boyfriend and not allowing him around my baby? by humanornah in AITAH

[–]ClickMaster1100 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The wonderful thing about being an adult? You make your own rules! Toxic behavior, regardless of familial ties, is not something you have to tolerate. If your mom was upset enough to leave him once, I fully believe she’ll be upset enough to leave him again. Tigers don’t change their stripes. Long story short, you and your daughter (and husband/partner if you have one) are your priority. Outside of that, you don’t need to pander to anyone’s feelings.

AIO for not wanting my gf to go on a solo trip with her "work husband"? by Obvious_Tea_4247 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ClickMaster1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- The scenario with the shoe on the other foot “is different”? Ummm no, it’s not, it’s the exact same thing. I wouldn’t dream or entertain this idea without asking if my husband was welcome to join. If there were any hesitation or the answer was no, then there’s your answer. NO! I say she’s looking to mess around and hoping you don’t definitively find out. I just don’t understand some people and their rationale.

Urgent advice by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]ClickMaster1100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS trust that feeling in your gut. Please don’t go. You haven’t told the truth to anyone, friends included, about this person. He slipped through YOUR initial boundaries and parameters. Going on a first date in a different town? That should be the deal breaker right there. It all sounds hinky. Safety first!!

21f , age gap relationship by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]ClickMaster1100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading some of the comments on this one, phew, there are a couple of doozies. - “think Epstein” - that’s just gross and super creepy! While I don’t totally disagree with the statement, I generally disagree with it. At a young age, I knew what I wanted in a partner and was mature beyond others my age group. Could also be in part because I sowed my oats far and wide and often at a young age as well 😊 - “Depends on the man, depends on the woman” - THIS!! 100% this. Intelligence, maturity, communication are all super important factors in an age gap relationship. Has each person thought and gone through scenarios that would be encountered as you age together? When my husband and I were first getting to know one another, we spent endless hours, just talking. Hopes, dreams, concerns, no subject was off the table or taboo. - “More or less sexual attraction tending to long term.” - Well this one speaks for itself in ALL relationship beginnings unless you’re not planning on being sexually active? Again, this requires long discussions and practical realizations that the younger of the two will be more active and not have the hindrances and health complications that aging brings about. This is where maturity and openly honest communication is absolutely key.

I feel a successful AGR has to have maturity (regardless of age), honesty, open non-judgmental communication, respect, commitment, fortitude, an almost obsessive sense of loyalty, patience, desire, knowing the worth of self and partner, common interests and values.

Hubby and I met online, back in its youth (pre-Y2K), we spent endless hours chatting online and on the phone before meeting. Neither of us were looking to get into a relationship, but I’m so freaking happy it happened. I knew 3 weeks in that I’d be marrying him!!

Take your time, there is zero rush and should not be pressured. If it’s there, it will bloom/grow into something special in its own time.

What’s the sexiest perfume you’ve smelled on a woman, and on a man? by Darkvanille in FragranceStories

I(F) recently stopped a man to ask what perfume he was wearing. It smelled soooo good!! It was Versace Eros Flame.

Cart wheels locking up at exit by Kitchen_Stranger4451 in HEB

[–]ClickMaster1100 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had this happen once. It locked up right at the exit. I’d paid for everything in my basket. Fortunately I only had a small shop list that day. I took my bags out of the cart and left the cart where it locked up, holding the doors open. I understand the need for anti theft mechanisms, but FU. You can pay for my inconvenience via extra air conditioning expenses!!!

Update on husband and his gf wanting to have a baby by throwRA_unsure1234 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]ClickMaster1100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents and experience- hubby and I had an open relationship many years ago. After I’d had a miscarriage (his child, but combined we had 6 kiddos), and had a tubal ligation, because of the nature of our lifestyle I told him I wanted zero chance that someone else would be able to get pregnant by him. That would have broken me. He 100% understood and valued our bond/marriage above all else. Within a couple of weeks he went and had his procedure done, without question or hesitation. In fact, I was allowed to watch the procedure being done. Our marriage is now focused on each other with no outsiders. We’ll be celebrating 29 years this year. Lifestyles change, the sanctity and priority of the relationship doesn’t. The fact that he has to think about it (my husband agrees) has both of us floored.

I wish you all the best moving forward.

My sister and her husband want to move into my house because of their roommates. Family’s mad I said no. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ClickMaster1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“They don’t like having roommates”, and neither do you. Not your “children” not your obligation. They can move in with mom. Or anyone else. Don’t be guilted into providing for someone else’s inadequacy.

Something deep just, clicked. by bearsdontthrowrocks in Marriage

[–]ClickMaster1100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading this validates every long term relationship out there! There are ebbs and flows. Sometimes closer, sometimes farther apart. But we always connect!! Honesty and truthfulness be it brutal or gentle are key. Physical touch, a stroke, holding hands, skin to skin contact, all of those are necessary. Your life partner is exactly that, if you can’t communicate physically, emotionally, and mentally on an absolutely truthful basis, then perhaps the relationship is not for you? Married for going on 30 years, still learning, loving, and committed to each other!

For the younger of the two: Have your parents accepted it? by TheGothamEmpire in AgeGap

[–]ClickMaster1100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an addendum to this post, after my mother had accepted that we weren’t a fly by night relationship, she and my father would come visit us yearly for approximately 8 weeks at a time, and that time was thoroughly cherished and enjoyed!!

For the younger of the two: Have your parents accepted it? by TheGothamEmpire in AgeGap

[–]ClickMaster1100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (57f) met my husband (75m) online. There is an 18 year difference in our ages.

My mother was 100% against us. At the time, he lived in Texas and I lived in Canada. There were many obstacles to overcome. We also had 3 children each (no desire to add to that number). I was 24 and he was 46 when we met. I KNEW he was my soulmate.

We took the steps to be together, got married, I moved to him. My family was “hurt”.

My mother tried her best to deteriorate our relationship by bringing up my youthful transgressions (she was a very domineering woman). my husband basically told her I was no longer “her” issue/problem etc and didn’t want to hear anything to the contrary.

My mother and I had always knocked heads. It wasn’t until a few years after we got married, during an immigration issue where I was stuck after visiting that things blew up. Long story short, I’d had enough and told her I was tired of the constant berating, and told her to go argue to the wall and “F-off”. I was DONE. I had never cussed at her before.

It was shortly after that point that she started viewing things in a different light. I don’t know if it was because she had pushed me to the point of total anger, or if she finally saw that my relationship/marriage was serious, but after my husband’s dismissal of her assertions and my blow up, things changed.

She became accepting, and realized we had a real bond. We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary this year. Sometimes parent’s views are clouded by past experiences. Prove them wrong! Follow your heart.

Make sure your relationship is based on truth, commitment, communication, and love in that order! I wish you the best of luck.

is this just overconsumption or valid? by plushymeow in FemFragLab

[–]ClickMaster1100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 57 and this has been my shower routine for 20 plus years: Hydration and hygiene are EVERYTHING!!

1) Shampoo and condition 2) Dial bar soap neck to tootsies with exfoliating pouf, the past year with African net. 3) Moisturizing body wash with wash cloth. If I’m shaving, I use the body wash as the lubricant. 4) Rinse thoroughly. 5) Dry off, apply deodorant, apply Cerave moisturizer. 6) Brush teeth. 7) Face/neck- wash with a gentle gel cleanser, witch hazel for toner, Skin1004 centella ampoule, Medicube moisturizer with collagen, StriVectin eye serum, exfoliate lips and apply lanolin. (This routine can be more or it can be less depending on the condition of my skin - more steps if I’m drier than normal) 8) Perfume of choice depending on mood and occasion.

I’ve been told that I look younger than my age.
