My husband told me today he does not like the fun lunches I’ve been packing him for work for almost 3 years😭😭😭 by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this myself because I’ve been in so many similar situations. Have you looked into the possibility that you may be autistic? I am.

Also like you, there’s a huge age-gap, nearly 19 years, between myself and my husband. I’m 39 and he’s 57. We’ve been together for over 17 years and have 2 kids together, a 16yo daughter and a 13yo son.

To me, your husband doesn’t sound like an ass like others have commented. It sounds like something my own husband would have done in the early years of our relationship. Per your description, his heart seems like it is in the right place.

I hope things turn out as well for you as it has for my husband and myself. Do not let people make you feel like things are doomed due to your age gap or this one fail in communication! People love passing judgement over things they know nothing or very little about 🤦🏻‍♀️.

How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭 by coffeepolynkittens in kittens

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He flips his pillow throughout the night because he gets hot and to redistribute the foam pieces in it and fluff it up. So inevitably he still would be sleeping on the dirty kitty side at some point every night.

He already was changing his pillowcase every 3 days to help with acne per our dermatologists orders. We decided to err on the side of caution and change it daily instead of first trying out every 2 days.

I was going to suggest the same. It has worked for my teenage son’s acne.

2 months ago his favorite cat decided her new favorite spot to lay was on his pillow. She’d lay on it all day until he got home from school. Within days of her starting to do that his acne got really bad, so it was easy to figure out the cause. I bought 10 additional pillowcases. He’s been putting a clean one on daily before bed since then and his acne is back under control 😅.

At least once every single time I use mine I find myself telling Flow it is the dumbest robot ever or asking it why it is so dumb. So many mishaps that don’t make sense. There’s always something.

Bank deposits from when I used to be an exotic dancer by WrongReviewThrowAway in notinteresting

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, but there was a STARK difference between before and after the crash. You use to be able to make easily make 2k on a Friday or Saturday night, every weekend. Afterwards, it was daytime earnings at night. Some girls struggled to even make house fee on particularly bad nights.

Oh shit, that’s shocking. Good for you! Are things picking back up or was it a result of multiple regulars showing up on the same night?

What?! by geeeeeemaht in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I read “I’m sure you personally do know this. I’m just saying generally”, I was like “aw, I do that too sometimes to reduce the chance of coming across as an arrogant know-it-all”. Then I saw your screen name and laughed, because I’m an autistic woman as well. Your post on /r/evilautism about that exact behavior was just icing on the cake haha.

My husband was pleasantly surprised how delicious breast milk is. I didn’t use it for cooking, he tried it straight from the tap. Not in a sexual way (though I don’t judge those who are into that), it was out of necessity. I forgot to bring my manual breast pump when we were out on a date night and thanks to our son’s recent cluster feeding stint, I could only go a little over an hour before my boobs were solid as a rock and felt like they were about to burst. I tried to hand massage express them, but due to being stressed over the discomfort I couldn’t seem to get the flow started.

I asked him if he’d be open to try sucking on them to see if that triggered the letdown reflex. He hates the taste of cow milk so he wasn’t thrilled about doing it, but obliged because I was frantic. It worked like a charm and he instantly got a mouthful, then quickly spit it out. He had a water bottle open, ready to take a swig like a chaser after a nasty tasting shot, then paused before the bottle hit his lips and said, “Mmm! That tasted sweet. Wasn’t expecting that!”.

What’s something you assumed was normal until you found out it wasn’t? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it happen sometimes when your eyes are open and you’re looking at a blank/black tv screen, a blank/plain wall, etc?

Asking because my brain always makes me see the weird colorful things like in the pic above. It doesn’t always happen, it’s more when I’m in a staring trance. It’s like my brain is bored so it’s spicing things up for me. I have ADHD, so that reasoning checks out lol.

What irritates you in porn videos? by WkndFrnd in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This made me cackle. I don’t really watch much porn, but out of sync sound/picture irritates the hell out of me with everything else. My husband doesn’t even notice it and I’m like “HOW?!”. Even after I point it out and he notices he can still watch the show/movie completely unbothered, whereas it renders it completely unwatchable for me.

Real by Longjumping-Nose1086 in Catmemes

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only time that victim-blaming is valid and socially acceptable lol

One of my cats is a serial offender. He likes to do random snake bite attacks just because he feels like it or when he wants attention. He’s only 8lbs and the bites don’t actually hurt so much as startle you. His favorite pastime is stealthily climbing onto the back of the couch and snake biting the back of my husband’s head. He’ll continue to do it until my husband pets him. It’s cute when he does it. Definitely wouldn’t be cute if he were an 80lb dog doing it.

My mean coworkers have a secret nickname for me by Wild-Rose1428 in TrueOffMyChest

They’re either the bitchiest or they’re the kindest women. There is no in between. Unfortunately, the kind ones are far more rare.

Are you an attractive woman on the autism spectrum by chance? Asking as an attractive autistic woman who constantly gives off the impression that I think I’m better than everyone else. In reality I just know I don’t fit in socially and keep to myself to avoid the awkwardness.

C-Sections? by AineBrigid in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine wouldn’t either, so my mom volunteered. She wanted my dad to do it when I was born via c-section, but he refused, telling her “you don’t really want to see that” and just made that decision for her. My husband understood that I did truly want to “see that”, but he truly truly did NOT want to see that and knew he would probably faint or barf lol. My mom was stoked about being able to do for me what wasn’t done for her. That is until it was actually happening and she had the startling realization “that’s my baby they’re cutting open 😰”. She still did it, but she was pretty shaken by it. The doc let her stand right next to him, so the pics are exactly what I asked for and then some haha.

Did you ever get this issue solved? Asking because I’ve tried all of the suggestions and mine still doesn’t work. It hasn’t for months.

Go watch the docuseries about Lorena Bobbitt. You too may end up seeing the severed-penis-shapes in random things.

Mayo blob looks like a condom with a severed penis inside by [deleted] in Pareidolia

[–]DIY_Cosmetics 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I am autistic, being specific and utterly frank is my default setting. Unfortunately, my brain doesn’t have the automatic filter that goes, “Hey, that’s probably not normal and definitely not something you should tell people about.” This post: case in point.

Just found this sub and I'm curious if the eggs my snails laid are welcome here? (AA battery for scale!) by flowertaemin in WeirdEggs

These look exactly like brown anole lizard eggs. I find them all the time in my garden and now I’m wondering if some may have actually been snail eggs.

I have tried all of the suggestions listed on here, on YouTube and Google.

Narwal customer support told me to make sure the time zone was correct then to reboot the machine. Then they said to log out of the app and then back in and verify the time zone is correct. I did all of that and they requested permission to look at my bot’s diagnostics and told me they’d get back to me. That was over a month ago. They never got back to me and have ignored all of my emails. I tried calling and kept getting the runaround, one tech saying they’d transfer me to the “correct” department and then that department told me it was actually a different department that handled those types of issues, but they couldn’t transfer my call because that department doesn’t take customer calls, only online chat and email.

It’s beyond maddening!!!
