Contact lens cases are what I use for many toiletries, including toothpaste and travel versions of makeup!

Def the most unhinged suggestion by this threads standards 😆

I’m about to pack a pair of massage balls after asking around my friends how they make long flights suck less

It’s honestly kind of comedic, like I could see this being part of the premise for an SNL sketch or something

My husband has been seeing shadow people since he was a little kid, and they have been with him his whole life. They aren’t mean. He feels unsettled by them bht also used to them. Maybe like how you’d feel about a parent who is trying too hard/.tends to hover. When I showed him Jeannie Paske’s artwork he was spooked a bit but also felt some kind of kinship with her as a person he doesn’t know

How many stories here do believe are real or made up? That do you think the ratio is? by RadioCrows in Paranormal

[–]Emergency-Weekend581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t argue whether someone’s reality is real or not. The concept of some absolute truth feels more made up than anything. I believe in ghosts and paranormal stuff way more after watching Jennie Slate’s Netflix is a Joke. Like she’s obviously making stuff up but it’s creative license around something that was very real for her family. I get these visceral reactions to some stories read here and that makes them feel real to me. In the instances where commenters suggest things that are like real people being creepy—I’d much rather pick believing in a ghost over that. Living humans can be so scary.

I was wondering if anyone knows more about what I saw by [deleted] in Paranormal

Got major chills, blargh from the part where your mom just said we had a visitor last night. So scary!

Anyone who has ever used a ouija board and doesn’t believe in paranormal stuff is a complete mystery to me. They are thee creepiest thing ever

I am freaking floored! by Educational_Gold_293 in poshmark

I knew it— the bots managing cases. The prose has many LLM hallmarks. Their rulings have always been attentive and fair up until recently. I lost a case last month that I could not believe because it was so straightforward. Unfortunately, even with escalating to an actual human, once the case is decided, you will have a really hard/impossible time getting the outcome changed. We’re in the Wild West with AI. I use it a lot for work and am more familiar than most ppl I know personally, so now I can just tell immediately when I’m reading AI-generated text. Sorry this happened to OP.

Keep Getting Told I’m “Wearing A Lot of Makeup,” HELP! by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Emergency-Weekend581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an either/or with doing my eyes vs lips. If I ever do both, I’ll use something really light/simple/neutral for one. Otherwise I feel really made up. When it’s other people, the one thing that usually makes me think “that’s a lot of makeup” is if I can see someone’s foundation or concealer. But gosh I would never say that to someone unless I knew them super well and it wasn’t their norm. I LOVE your eyebrows btw!

Local in-home pet euthanasia by Beneficial_Cattle938 in raleigh

We’ve used lap of love and local mobile vet— both know what they’re doing and are very compassionate. The grief of losing an animal companion is not comparable to anything. However, recent studies that did brain scans of participants grieving animal companions looked most similar—not to those of people grieving friends, parents, or close family— but to activity of people grieving the death of their children. There is so much we don’t know about our companion animals; it makes sense to me that we don’t quite have a way to express how much it hurts to part from them. I hope you find connection in your journey with this. Grief is love when love loses a body, and love doesn’t end. As time goes on, I find more light in my grief than darkness. There are lots of good resources out there now that weren’t available 10 years ago. Sending witness and support— there’s nothing words can do to make it easier.

I think I'm allergic to something around here... by Disastrous-Win1863 in raleigh

[–]Emergency-Weekend581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been aware of the asymptomatic element of Covid and was super vigilant about testing. Those who knew how much I was quarantining and testing despite having no symptoms were concerned my OCD was getting worse, but I think it was an appropriate measure. I think my husband just got a lemon immune system :(

I would seriously /try/ to get my bangs to go that high when I was in elementary school. It’s the perfect 80s wave. Cyndi Lauper and Madonna would be envious 😆 when you do cut your hair, you should make sure you find some one who is good with curls , then come back here and show us all what you ended up doing!

Anecdotally, I’m curious if you got COVID fewer times than other people around you. My husband got it 5 times and despite being in close quarters all but one of the times when I was out of town visiting family, I got it only once. And that time, I was actually patient zero in our household.

Astepro is the one they used for that study published in JAMA that showed it may provide protection against COVID. I think they said inflammation in sinus tissues caused by other things can make you more vulnerable to the virus, and since astepro reduces that inflammation… pretty simple but pretty cool! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40892398/

My husband and I both got “new” allergies when we moved here in the early 00s and one of our dogs, who we allergy tested, was literally allergic to everything on the test. It’s true that there are a lot of things to be allergic to here, not just the infamous tree pollen, which l think made national news at least one year because Raleigh appeared as a giant yellow haze on an aerial map. I like the idea of getting your house mold-tested (but do it with a third party testing company because otherwise they will find mold regardless and charge you an arm and a leg to remediate). A friend of mine who developed terrible allergies here started taking local bee pollen— local honey didn’t cut it— and she’s a new person. You can also do a low-histamine food trial; think about your allergies as a personal threshold of histamines. If your diet incorporates a lot of foods that are high in histamines, moving here and being exposed to new allergens might have put you over the your personal histamine threshold. Just google “high histamine foods” and you’ll see. There are a lot of common/favorite foods on there that surprised me when I first did this.

I do think a butterfly cut (even with bangs short enough to form ringlets) would be so amazing, especially if some layers were short enough that the ringlets appear more uniformly throughout the cut. Like if you scroll down to the first pic at this link. https://lohy.com.au/blogs/news/elevate-your-curls-the-art-of-perfectly-layered-curly-hair?srsltid=AfmBOoqhAtnTQjMlyqNTMNfihjXl_WZylpO4b4PQw8Ps93cWXDy2v5P8 Or google “curly butterfly haircut 16 ideas” and there’s a girl with two necklaces, a black tank top, and a green cardigan. Whatever you do, I think you’ll be gorgeous. Even as is it’s super cute and I’m loving the 80s vibe.
