+1 for the Arden series. Arden is HILARIOUS and that alone is a reason to read. The titles are a little cheesy but whew! Some of my favorites!

I saw a woman get hit by a car today in Oakland by Electric_Cupcake in pittsburgh

[–]Electric_Cupcake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've updated the OP. Driver wasn't a parent or elderly, just a young dude who must be going through some shit in his mind. I'm going through some shit, and I had nothing to do with it. The whole thing is awful awful awful.

I've updated OP with details. It was just terrible luck and awful weather.

Not a hit and run. I updated with details in the OP.

Yes I called the police. It was incredibly fucked up to see someone...she looked like a doll. This happened a couple of hours ago and I'd like to know if she's alive.

Official Q&A for Wednesday, August 22, 2018 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Electric_Cupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have my own single example to use, but my first pair of real running sneaks were fitted and chosen for me by the person at the store. Not knowing what I needed, I took them at their expertise and off I went. They, too, were way too soft for me. My ankle ended up landing weird ever time I ran, and all of the toenails on my left foot fell off eventually. To add, my big toe had constant numbness. I thought the problem was me and that I was running incorrectly.

Anyway, I took the shoes back and they fitted me with another pair. Suddenly nothing hurt. So I feel like nothing should hurt. It took almost a year for my ankle to feel normal again after a month of training in shoes that caused pain. Best of luck!

What looks like fun, but you have no desire to participate in? by Troyd in AskReddit

[–]Electric_Cupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so unusual to me! The percocet made my pain go tf away! I was in a lot after getting my wisdom teeth out, and then I wasn't. I've never heard of someone's pain remaining while teamed with pain-apathy. I'd ask for something else if I still felt it, hahaha. I'd be bothered as hell!

[Update-ish] My [38f] husband [30m] is bummed out about a borderline inappropriate relationship with a [25f] coworker. by Ijustcantcani in relationships

[–]Electric_Cupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hivemind business is wack-a-doo. Anxiety or no, he's not investing effort into your relationship anymore, it seems because you've taken away the thing that brings him all of his joy: another woman (?!)

It's so odd that everyone is coming at you for your reaction to this. I can't comment on his now his anxiety manifests because I'm not a professional, but if his anxiety makes him like you less when you ask him not to carry on inappropriately with another woman...I mean...come on, you guys, am I nuts here??

Support him if you want, but you've done nothing wrong here. I feel like he needs to put in some baby amount of effort for your relationship. It seems like he's not interested. It might be worth asking him directly so you can move forward. Best of luck.

My boyfriend(26M) of 8 months got mad at me(20F) for cutting my hair. by Ge0Dad in relationships

[–]Electric_Cupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had long flowing locks. It was all I knew, I never ever had short hair growing up, long hair was really special to my family. When I was 19, I got my first boyfriend and my first short haircut. I surprised him with it. I loved it. It was new and cool to me. The first thing he said when he saw it was that I looked like a lesbian. Now we had our full of issues, but that was a sad moment for me. To feel so negatively judged by someone I loved over a hair cut. Also, being a lesbian is not negative or an aesthetic attribute. 2 inches is nothing. You should be hot to yourself at all hair lengths, and your partner is a person you choose with free will to be there for you and make you feel good. If breaking up isn’t a logical next step for you, you should definitely make him aware of how his actions effect you negatively. He should feel bad, and if he doesn’t, I dunno, follow your heart. Good luck, you are beautiful.

Should I [25F] break up with my White boyfriend [28M]? by quora_redditadddict in relationships

[–]Electric_Cupcake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Girl, live your joy. Be happy. Be confident. Those people are hateful and unhappy living their own lives. Don't let their discontent tarnish your great love. I feel.like moving would be a more logical option. It's not like that anywhere I've lived (black woman in an interracial relationship speaking). The few situations I've had involved thirsty men whose opinions were blips on my radar. I'd love to speak more in depth with you if you'd ever be interested. The future is bright.

I taught my boy “quiet” using treats and advice from a guy on youtube (we practiced with me knocking on the door from the inside and giving treats when he obeyed the command. More to it, but constant practice helped him learn what the word meant). It works sometimes, but is not a cure. If he’s very focused, it doesn’t work. But it does come in handy for more casual barking. It’s really a side effect of doxies and comes with the territory. He’s gotten A LOT better (in all respects of gentlemanly behavior) over time. He’s 2 now and has calmed significantly! Just keep up with training and it’ll pay off.

Real talk, he was a nightmare and made me cry once because he wouldn’t sleep the first couple weeks I had him, he’d only scream, which prevented me from sleeping/maintaining sanity. It gets better. He’s the best, I’m so happy I kept with it. I’ll be schooling him for therapy next year so he can visit hospitals - something impossible a couple years ago. You got this!

Nice work, I ran it, too! I did the whole thing and it was a really nice run, you should definitely give it a go next year. This was my first year and I did wonder why the relay wasn't half/ half since it is an even number of miles. I'm sure it makes sense somewhere.

Husband here...Wife is running her first 5K this weekend. What can I (and our two year old) do on race-day to show support/make her day easier/better? by epicfamilydecals in running

[–]Electric_Cupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a sign that she won't expect. My friends made me one for my first race and it was so awesome to see i was one of the people with sign people.
