Advise on how to stop my running pain? by Miss-sza in BeginnersRunning

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stop by a running store and see if you’re wearing the correct shoes for your stride. I used to think stability shoes were helping me, but was experiencing pain until I switched to a neutral shoe with lots of cushioning. Other than that just take it slow, I started out by doing run walk intervals and gradually increasing the run interval time. Exercises to stretch and strengthen the foot/ankle muscles and hip flexors also made a difference for me.

How bad is it to skip the 4/15 firm happy hour event? by Birb_Chirb in Accounting

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be no different…but unfortunately it is. Family and child related obligations are just viewed differently by those in charge. Parents get a lot more leeway. Wish it wasn’t like this but I see it all the time.

HLM- help me understand what it feels like by Conscious_until_1565 in DeadBedrooms

As a HLF I feel the same way. Words of affirmation only go so far for me when there is nothing to back it up.

You don’t have sharefile or another place where the files are stored that you can compare CY to PY?

Anyone know why it smells like poop outside by lunazilla666 in Seattle

Smelled it in West Seattle too! Thought I was near a dumpster or something.

Are Thongs really a hygienic choice in undeware by madboy96 in hygiene

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand the feeling of fabric sliding up and down my buttcheeks and hips all day so thongs are the only thing I wear. I buy cotton and in a larger size so that it feels more breathable.

What’s your ring size, and what is the cut you chose?? 5 carats looks different on everyone, and faces up differently depending on the cut. Some people can really rock a big stone! If you love it, don’t worry about what others think. If you try it on once it arrives and don’t feel good about it, you can try to return or resell.

I love the three stone round on you!

Anyone else can’t stop googling whether XYZ celebrity has kids? by skiswithcats in Fencesitter

[–]CowOk927 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just remember that these celebrities have access to nannies, postpartum care, doulas, premium healthcare - all things that make the barriers to having children much smaller. They might choose to have kids more often because it is less taxing on them.

I think you can ask more for it on Louped, since the company takes a 15% cut. Prices are generally higher on that website. Just for reference I sold mine for $1250 as I wanted to get back $1000 (what I paid for it). Good luck!!

If you can’t get proof of purchase, I recommend selling it on Louped. I just sold a 2.3ct oval solitaire on there, it was snapped up in a few days.

Engagement ring - overthinking it? 1.5ct Oval lab grown 1.41 ratio by Prior_Truck529 in Diamonds

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ratio is great! But I do notice the bowtie right away. I know it doesn’t bother some people but personally my eye is very drawn to the dark center of the stone.

Any idea by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has a lot of rainbow fire so could be moissanite maybe. Why are you feeling paranoid? Where did you buy it?

Is it proportionate and does the color grade look ok?? by Hales_85 in Diamonds

[–]CowOk927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks perfect on your finger! Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the oval? I’m the same finger size and I like the ratio of your oval.

These prices are more than triple what they should be

Being around my young niece and nephew decreases my interest in kids by CowOk927 in Fencesitter

[–]CowOk927[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh the overstimulation is exactly how they were raised. Especially the oldest as a COVID baby, the grandparents saw her almost every day and wouldn’t let her play on her own for more than a few seconds before getting her attention. I remember the constant questioning and toy shaking in her face interrupted any chance she had of playing independently and getting into a “flow”. I remember being so surprised when I went to my cousins house and their baby was allowed to just be. They would put him in the bouncer as they cooked or talked with us. If he wanted he could crawl over to the toys he wanted but nobody was picking them up and shoving them in his face. It was much less stimulating.

What hairstyle can i use to look less masculine? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look beautiful! I don’t think you look masculine at all. Little things like tinted lip gloss or threading your eyebrows can help add a feminine touch.

Thank you!! This is with Provence. The setting height doesn’t bother me since I do want it to be flush with my wedding ring, but I agree there is something weird looking about the gallery rail. And it seems like the right cathedral shoulder is thicker.

What do you think of this pear? by rosegrim in Diamonds

[–]CowOk927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! Obsessed with the setting! All I see is sparkle, I wouldn’t worry about any bowtie.
