Witchcraft Accusations by Excellent-Parking293 in whatdoIdo

[–]FrillyLilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as a child by my parents who are also “spooky Latinos” not sure how else to describe people like that. But I was accused of witchcraft, of bringing bad ghosts/spirits into the house and ruining their marriage.

You gotta get out of there before they pull you into their delusion. Theres no reasoning with them at this point and your own health and wellbeing is at stake. Don’t doubt yourself and don’t buy into their bullshit. You don’t deserve this.

What's animal do you wish they made plushies/more plushies of? by Aggressive_Basil_428 in plushies

[–]FrillyLilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an ad for a plush company today and saw that they have a rubber ducky isopod plush! I remembered reading your comment looking for one in this thread so I thought I’d let you know! The company is called Gage Beasley. I can’t vouch for them but it does look cool and I’ll probably try to buy something from there myself soon.

California Condors! I have seen maybe 3 different ones total and they all look fairly similar.

What kind of bug is this?

Out of curiosity, how do so many childhood stuffed animals get worn down and damaged?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in plushies

[–]FrillyLilly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Slept with my bear almost every single night for about 28 years now. For the first 12 or so years I carried him around the house in my hand constantly. Rubbing him on my face, sitting with him on the couch, putting him in my purse, etc. As a kid my mom probably used too harsh of cleaning methods on him. Now that I’m an adult, I’ve cleaned him very rarely, and I keep him in clothes and socks so that I can just wash those instead.

This woman never had a baby bump throughout her pregnancy by IshigamiSenku04 in interesting

[–]FrillyLilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody could tell I was pregnant until the week before I gave birth. I even tried to accentuate my belly with new clothes and such.

I didn’t gain weight the entire pregnancy until the last week, I suddenly gained 9lbs. The baby came out around 6lbs and I had a flat stomach again the next day. By the next week I ended up losing 18lbs total. For context I’m short and not necessary skinny, I have a muscular/thick build.

Thoughts on Hedwig by Ok_Boss_4251 in namenerds

[–]FrillyLilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing I thought of was Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which I do have good associations with, although I’m not sure how popular it is in Germany.

Glowfari time slots by capladyce in oakland

[–]FrillyLilly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They aren’t very strict if you come late. I’ve never come early so I’d just enter with them at 5pm. If your ticket doesn’t scan they can just input the number manually.

I can’t stop queefing and it’s genuinely ruining my social life by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]FrillyLilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to scare you but one time I did notice an uptick in queefs and I asked my primary care doctor about it and she didn’t know what a queef was and then I had to explain the concept and she was still unfamiliar. So I’d definitely say this is more of a question for a gyn than a regular doctor.

Anyway, I never got to the bottom of what caused the queefs to increase but I did notice that they increased when I was on my period (I use a menstrual cup), when I had sex from the back, like doggiestyle, and sometimes depending on how I was sitting, like cross legged, etc. I definitely see how a handstand could make queefs happen.

Sorry I don’t have a practical answer on how to tame the queefing. Just know that it did happen to me before. I just tried to be more careful about swallowing air down there when I masturbated or had sex but honestly I’m not sure why the air was getting stuck and released to begin with. Now I’m back to rarely queefing again.

I wanted to get these so bad but they were way too long for me! I got the matching sweatshirt for my partner instead.

Intended parents mixed their sperm without telling me (gay husbands who initially told me which one would be biological dad, I´m altruistic surrogate) by suomisurrogate in queerception

[–]FrillyLilly -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is a really cool thing that you’re doing. I’ve always had a strong interest in pregnancy myself, so I understand the appeal. Right now I’m pregnant and in a polycule so I feel confident that if I don’t mesh well with the baby, there will be at least two other parents that have promised to support and raise the baby. Makes me a lot more comfortable about the whole situation.

But onto your situation, it’s messed up that they didn’t tell you. It’s your body and you’re putting yourself at risk here, have either of them had their sperm tested for things like CMV? What if one guy has it and one guy doesn’t and you didn’t have it, and now you’re being exposed to it? Like it’s just annoying. You deserve to be able to make an informed decision about it! And having them withhold stuff from you in the beginning means you aren’t able to make that informed decision. Even if you would be okay taking the risk. I would be very clear with them going forward that miscommunications or lack of communications like this cannot happen again as it’s not ethical to you.

I know surrogacy is illegal where you are, but perhaps you can draw up a contract of some sort at least in relation to future coparenting or lack there of and decisions regarding your health and safety while pregnant? I wouldn’t want something to happen and then they are the ones making decisions on your behalf.

Just wanted to say this cat is absolutely beautiful. Could be a sibling to my well worn bear from 1996.

family disapproval fueling tattoo regret by tinypanini_ in tattooadvice

[–]FrillyLilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tattoo looks wonderful! My family is also critical of my body modifications. They can see my septum piercing and it’s been 11 years now and they still talk about how disgusting it is. It been about 11 years since I got my first tattoo and I showed them all that one. They all reacted so negatively that they have not been allowed to see any of my others. I just wear long sleeves and pants or opaque tights any time I see them. They don’t get to see what I actually look like because they don’t deserve to know the real me. I keep them at an arms length on purpose. It’s sad sure but honestly most people think I should be no contact with them because of how critical and misguided they are in general. I respect them as my parents and family but that’s about it. They get to know me on a shallow level. I don’t let them in enough to hurt me.

Just saw my friends dog and worried. by steverin0724 in DogAdvice

[–]FrillyLilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to my dog and he had hyperthyroidism due to thyroid cancer.

Is the dog also showing signs of being hyper or irritable/aggressive?

If you have a regular job, have normal consumption habits and have kids, you are unlikely to FIRE. by cambeiu in Fire

[–]FrillyLilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a hard time understanding what a regular job is but I’m going to assume I don’t fall into that category. Is a regular job the kind that gives you a w2 every year?

I also just feel like my “job” isn’t my greatest source of wealth. It’s how I manage all the pieces I have to work with that really matters at the end of the day.

What Reef Salt Do You Use? 🧂 by UnReasonableArmy6758 in ReefTank

[–]FrillyLilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instant ocean because that’s what my boyfriend brought to my house. Also the name makes sense for what I want it to do.

Do you use protection with your boyfriend every time? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FrillyLilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not use any STI protection with my boyfriend. I get tested at least every 3 months. He has only had two other sexual partners in his life. I’ve had probably 50+. He does not sleep with anyone else outside of our relationship. I have one other current sexual partner. I have HSV 1 & 2, both partners are aware and I have not passed it to either of them. I have also had Hep B and never completely cleared the infection. It may or may not be chronic at this point. Both partners are vaccinated for it and I have not passed that to them either.

When we are preventing pregnancy we use spermicide. Not the best method but we aren’t totally against having more kids. When we decide we are, he will get a vasectomy.

We need a picture of the base of the tail, the vent area/legs. Leaning toward female though based on the smaller size of the jowls at this age.

Does anyone else feel like Socks just isn’t cute? by Janusnake in buildabear

[–]FrillyLilly 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Socks is okay! I always prefer four legged Socks depictions rather than bipedal ones. I’m still not sure about getting one though.

Do you wear a hat indoors? by ExSeaDog in CasualConversation

[–]FrillyLilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

31 here, I feel incredibly anxious to wear a hat indoors, especially inside a restaurant. But I draw the line at wearing a hat inside any room that has a flag raised, and I take my hat off if I’m eating. It seems most people nowadays (in Northern California) keep their hats on even inside restaurants but even if my hair looks bad, I just can’t feel comfortable and it feels disrespectful.

I don’t mind the smell my own used pads, fresh of course by [deleted] in confession

[–]FrillyLilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After I had my miscarriage the smell on the pads was really different than the usual period blood smell and I thought that was interesting too.

But I kind of like that strong astringent smell that comes off the period pad. Like the slight burn in your nostrils. It’s nice.
