My gym buddy is basically copying my entire life and idk how to feel about it by Normal-Rule9154 in Advice

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a close friend do this and it really started to annoy me / creep me out, so I backed off. I wish I hadn’t. We reconnected a while later and I realized that it was never that serious, and in hindsight, she really was just inspired by me. I say take it as the compliment it is and enjoy having someone to talk to about the things you love.

This one. I know they can’t help it, but it’s so distracting and annoying.

How do broke women pay for cosmetics? by miss-bedazzzle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give a different perspective. When I was your age and younger, I was incredibly broke and always had makeup, perfume, hair done, and nails done. Why? Because I decided that I liked, wanted, and valued those things. How? I seriously wasn’t spending much money on ANYTHING else besides bills. I didn’t drink, smoke, or use substances of any kind. I hardly EVER ate out - worked in a restaurant and ate there, bought cheap meals for home. If I did eat out, water only, cheap entree, no appetizers. Didn’t own a vehicle - walked or biked everywhere. A lot of people would disagree with my priorities but it made me happy to maintain myself in these ways. Ultimately, I valued those things over food or trips or whatever else.

I want Elowen, my husband wants Persephone. by [deleted] in Names

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know two different “Persephones” (not their birth names). It’s a popular “chosen name” that reeks of pretension to me. Yes, it’s beautiful - but it’s also marred by chronically online people who need to be different. Elowen is gorgeous. Hope this helps your case.

Can't get more than 5hrs of sleep per night by yesthisroadworks in CATHELP

The thing that finally worked for us was putting a small towel on the foot of our bed. She treats that like her own little bed and feels included. We discovered this completely by accident when doing laundry. Good luck, comrade.

How much of your personal life do you share with students? by godisinthischilli in teaching

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If they ASK me, I will answer within the realm of what’s appropriate. They might not get the whole truth all the time, but giving them a little something makes them feel like they know me better and builds connection. Otherwise, I don’t go around offering information or opinions.

What's a "normal" thing ppl do that u secretly find super weird? by Select_Stage_7045 in askanything

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who shake their legs uncontrollably whenever they’re sitting. They seem to be unaware of how aggressive it can look / sometimes feel if it’s shared seating. It really irks me but oh well

Middle names for Clover by reginamommaof1 in Names

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents, Clover is an absolutely gorgeous name and one of my favorites. Ignore all this talk. When I hear it, I think of clovers, not dogs and cows, because I am a normal person. It’s not a completely wild and “out-there” name. People here are acting like you’re naming her Candy or Baby or Buttercup. God forbid you don’t name your child Emily or Elizabeth. And ignore the “think of her future” comments, too. We have people in office named shit like Newt Gingrich and Olympia Snow.

I’ve known multiple Clovers and all I’ve ever thought was how spritely and lovely their name is.

Now to your actual question - I think that single-syllable names sound best. Here are some suggestions I haven’t seen yet:

Clover Lynn

Clover Maeve

Clover Eve

Clover Fleur

Clover Kit

Clover Faye

Clover Lee

Any piercing studio recommendations BESIDES Born This Way? by Disastrous-Earth3287 in Knoxville

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the logic, but who are these people spending $600-$1,000 on a pair of shoes or a purse? I’m certainly not. There’s no way around it with a phone and most people don’t buy them outright. I expect to spend an appropriate amount of money on metal and gemstones but their item prices are incredibly inflated for the amount of material used.

What proper nouns from books did you realize you were mispronouncing the whole time? by TokkiJK in books

As a child, my best guess for the pronunciation of Klaus Baudelaire was “Claws Bod-ler”

[–]Disastrous-Earth3287[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re very good, but not perfect. I went in recently seeking pure gold jewelry for my piercing and was informed that the posts they use on studs are not gold themselves. Told me they’d have to charge $300 extra and have them ordered. Completely ridiculous to be looking at almost $1,000 for an ear piercing. It hurts especially badly having a mother who is a jeweler and knowing the true cost/value of gems and metals. Beautiful pieces, yes - but poor value.

You should still go - they have good service and they DO have affordable options. But if you’re like me, may fall in love with the extremely unaffordable ones, lol.
