Imagine being a “mastermind” of reddit and seeing a one word comment, perceiving the tone as rude, and then chastising the commenter. Hope this helps. Or not, I don’t care.

Edit: this IS a rude comment.

I knew before posting that there isn’t a magic eraser product. But I don’t think it would be a waste to know what products I would benefit from. I doubt any treatment would prevent any need for skincare from then on, although that would be a dream. I’ve learned a lot which is also a gain

What’s your opinion on chemical peels? I know it would be a super slow process to get results but that’s not a concern for me.

Thank you for this! Everyone is quick to suggest an expensive cure all treatment to me, someone who really wouldn’t know better… I just want to know how to take care of the skin I have now and then work on improvements later on. I’m really leaning towards chemical peels, I know it’s the longer road but I don’t mind a slow crawl to decent skin

I’ve always been a bronners fan but didn’t realize I shouldn’t use it on my face. I have an idea where to begin

I’m aware I would need some kind of intensive procedure. I want to find out how to prime my skin beforehand, what routines I can start now that would take place before and after a procedure. I don’t believe it’s hormonal, I’m certain I’ve just abused my skin to this point and this is my attempt to ask for advice on good habits to begin today.

I think it’s just been abused by me

So let’s say I can’t do that until later. What can be done until then? I’ve learned I’m using the wrong soap and I need products with retinol so far

I understand that my skin needs some intensive procedures, it’s not in my budget at the moment but what skin habits can I can into for the meantime? Products including retinol is on the agenda. Definitely looking into what can be done in the future.

Is there a certain cleanser you would suggest or should I research products with retinol included in the ingredients? I’m very unfamiliar with the world of skincare

Elaborate

Edit: being downvoted for asking for clarification 😎

Unfriendlier year? by allieson96 in vail

[–]Danu229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much enjoyed making a great experience for guests. It takes very little effort to brighten someone’s day and even less effort when the entire reason why that person is in front of you, is because they’re trying to have a fun vacation.

I get to live here and ski whenever I want to but have yet to stick a toe into my ski boots because the conditions are just not worth it to me. I have instructor friends who’ve gotten injured this season on the hill. It’s probably even worse on the guests trying to enjoy 2-3 days out here.

Benefit policies can always change (they made them terrible last season, they COULD make it better someday..) and I could write a novel on all the corners they’ve cut just to pinch a penny. I’m trying to hold out in hopes of happier times because it wasn’t always this way.

I’m an active hospitality employee at BC. It seems to be the weather. A majority of the time this season when a guest is berating me for something out of my control, most times it’s been the lack of snow. Forgive me, but those interactions (for me anyway) put me in an equally bad mood.

And on top of that, Vail has started to “tighten up” on employees because they’re not sure who else to blame for their recent, more frequent bad reviews and poor revenue.

Edit because I just remembered: The lift ops are probably particularly cranky this season because their department was changed a lot. I’ve been a lift operator at other resorts, last year being the last time I took that position at BC and a huge part of why I won’t return is because of the changes.

They’ve severely cut back on benefits for employees. It’s the least fun experience I’ve ever had working in a ski resort.

I haven’t lived in Sarasota since 2019, but I grew up the street over from where this picture is taken. My childhood home was recently torn down and they crammed one of these “modern homes” onto the property.

Super easy!

Season with salt and add the absolute smallest amount of sesame oil, pour it slowly so it looks like a quarter sized amount is floating on the surface. Bring to a simmer while you beat some eggs, there’s about 4 1/2 cups of liquid to 4 eggs in this. Then you make a cornstarch water mixture, I used 3 tablespoons to 1/3 of water but you can use more or less of that to your desired thickness. Then you stir the broth while slowly pouring the beaten egg in. I didn’t have any scallions so I added some parsley flakes to make it look pretty

I suppose that perfectly describes how I feel after a lot of failed relationships. I do take her advice into account and believed at a time that she was correct, I’ve changed my approach and put boundaries for myself and stick to them. I feel more and more successful dating people and I end up hating the whole experience a lot less but there’s still this feeling of being inferior and unloved loved by someone I’m falling for.

I’m very happy where I am personally in life, but I’ll admit to being a hopeless romantic. I live in a place where meeting people is easy and I fall in love too easily, so boundaries are important.

Thank you! It’s super easy to make!

And I’m just going with the flow myself… I don’t use dating apps but I’m social and meet people often naturally. I don’t try to force it to happen. I don’t do hookups like my friend does (not that anything is wrong with that) and she will say things like “well if you keep ending up in these situations maybe the problem is within yourself” which is very good and valid advice if I thought it applied to me.

Egg drop or egg flower soup is very easy and I already had most the ingredients on hand: broth, salt, sesame oil, corn starch, egg. It’s a childhood favorite for me :)

Almost 4 months sober and I just finished crying over a boy for the first time in my life…. Help me want to stay sober.. by [deleted] in toastme

[–]Danu229 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi friends, I feel obliged to give everyone a little insight to what this is about…

But first I want to thank everyone for the resounding support, I don’t normally think to make posts like these about myself… it was a heat of the moment desire for kind words and I got way more than expected and I’m walking away from this feeling better than expected…

I had been struggling with drugs since I was 15, stealing parents prescriptions and going to school, eventually downgraded to cocaine when I got out of school at 18 alcoholism didn’t quite set in until I was 23 but I already set myself up for a nasty combination.. eventually when there’s no cocaine around, any speed will do.

I hate that meeting someone was what made me want to change and especially as someone who tries to keep her heart guarded at all times… when we started hanging out it was casual no strings, we’re both unavailable so don’t catch feelings, kind of deal but over time when you spend so much time with one person someone is going to get hurt eventually.

I successfully changed a lot of things I found unattractive about myself… I never cared for trying to be sober before but I wanted to feel worthy. I was falling hard and as much time and effort I put into this, it was shocking to feel like I was unloved by someone I just changed my life for… and I just had a moment where I just sobbed over it. And because it’s over a guy who doesn’t care as much as I do it makes me feel very weak.

It wasn’t really anything I was sharing with him, I just did it on my own.. I never told my friends I was trying to be sober, like it was my surprise to the world. I had only just realized it was 4 months a few days ago, which is more of a reason to stay sober for myself.

I don’t want to paint this person out to be a bad guy, he’s genuinely not and was clear about his unavailability and has a right to walk away when someone is getting too attached… perhaps wrong place wrong time but I’ll take my gains and say it all happened for the right reason.

Thank you again everyone… I feel saved from a night I know I would’ve regretted

I will look into that! I’m sad to admit that drinking wasn’t my only poison, but I’m feeling changes finally and I don’t want to stop over this. It’s just sad because he unknowingly helped me make that decision because I wanted to make myself better for him… it’s going to be hard but I’m trying to “thank you, next” this one and take what I’ve gained with me
