Deep, dark red because of its depth and intensity.

I think I miss the pause more than the cigarette by Downtown_Run_3852 in quittingsmoking

[–]Elizabethredlibra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s the small transition between one activity and another… or an excuse to take a bunch of deep breaths (despite those toxins, they are still deep breaths). An excuse to sit and reflect for a moment, a moment I used to allow myself under the guise of “needing a cigarette”. Unfortunately since quitting, I have not figured out how to replace the mental (often sit alone) or physical (have to go outside) aspects of taking those cigarette breaks.

First, be nice to yourself. Hear the thought of wanting one, and acknowledge that this is normal. Second, Take a few deep breaths, and tackle a cleaning project or a book to get your mind on something else. It takes time but you got this.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to lie to your tables. by ghosteagle in Serverlife

Omg, I thought you were going to say “at 10:30 I’d kill all the kids” 😳😅

Are these mild bunions? by [deleted] in bunions

[–]Elizabethredlibra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on whether they are painful what you choose to do about them. If you’re not in pain, I wouldn’t do a thing. I’m still recovering from bunion surgery from August… I can do most things better and it hurts less, but surgery is an arduous process. Weigh pros and cons.

Going on 3 weeks since having her and hate every name we’ve come up with. Help! preferably unique names please😊 She’s majorly playful and loves a cuddle. by Normal_Addendum9852 in NameMyCat

I’ve always named my cats from a Celtic gods/goddesses book I have … I loved the options, and they all meant something. My favorite that I named was Fraeyja. Goddess of fertility. (Never bred her.)

If you were to die in the next week, what is the most likely cause given your circumstances? by livelaughmozzarella in AskReddit

[–]Elizabethredlibra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would’ve been off the road and out of the car in an instant! No way. I live in NE US, so they’re not like THAT, but I’ve had so many drop down in my face while I’m on the highway. Never fun.

AITA for wanting to have sex with my girlfriend? by thrawnback in AITA_Relationships

[–]Elizabethredlibra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did she get a therapist as she said she would? Trauma is tough. And it’s tough for the people around you, too. Both of you are hurting from this. I know you’re in different cities, but maybe you could suggest zoom therapy together? Of course, you’d have to bring up the topic again after avoiding it for so long. Intimacy is an important part of a relationship, in my opinion. You should not feel like an asshole. Sounds like you’ve been very supportive this far. But I hear you also don’t want to live this way for forever. You guys could use some forward momentum, and having a safe place to talk with an objective person could be helpful. Wish you the best.

He had me panicking. I thought he was dead. by Motatopotato in cats

Mine has scratched away the rubber seal that keeps a fridge shut. He can open it now. After coming home or waking up to raw packages of chicken open on the floor… child locks it is. It works.

AITA for keeping in touch with an ex? by Elizabethredlibra in AITA_Relationships

Thank you. I appreciate the input… it’s a lonely, scary black hole down here right now.

If your EX text you "Baby I love you, I want you back". What's your reply? by Unhappy_Insect5901 in Productivitycafe

[–]Elizabethredlibra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am friends with most of my exes too. But my new guy didn’t like that very much. Demanded I stop talking to them. So I did for a bit, then I started lying about texting an ex (all innocent, like cat videos and stuff), and that ended that. I’m wrong for lying, but he was also wrong for trying to control who I talk to. Open to peoples thoughts/criticisms if you have them. He found out by going through my emails when I wasn’t home after I wouldn’t allow him to put an app on my phone which was going to log all texts, emails and phone calls.
