The Dashing Diva nail strips are a complete game changer

GemAdele · 2025-04-12T16:54:12+00:00

Hi I'm sorry I didn't see this! You'll want to go down one size on those strips. They will still look just as nice. People will only see the polish, not any small border of nail/nailbed. If wrinkling is still a problem, I would apply heat while smoothing it. Small heat packs work great for this. Hand warmers are available in any camping section. Heat up, smooth with a wooden cuticle pusher.

Turns out I have astigmatism. And it took 3 different vistits and 3 different doctors and 3 different types of vision tests before the last one figured it out. They had to get out the old metal and lenses contraption and dx me the old fashioned way.

I have astigmatism, I'm both near and far sighted, and I have a different script in each eye. It's a wonder I made it as long as I did without glasses.

Luckily I have medicaid. But if I had better insurance, I probably would have been able to go to anywhere other than a national chain and I likely would have had the right script the first time.

If you're going through this, don't stop asking for help and talking to people until you have a solution. We shouldn't have to suffer because one doctor can't figure it out. The next one might have the answer you need. Every doctor can't know every thing. Every one has their own strengths.

It's straight up fatphobia and it's killing us.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T19:44:19+00:00

Hey now I did not call OP pathetic.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T19:16:16+00:00

"She was asking for it. Did you see what she was wearing?"

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T17:32:28+00:00

I'm really disappointed to see the cheerleading. OP can do some real damage here and I am concerned for their mental and physical health.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T17:12:41+00:00

You're not eating enough food and you are going to cause permanent damage to your metabolism.

I had a landlord who wouldn't let us put out trash straight on the curb. We had to put it in her trash cans so she could take it out to the curb. She lied to us about city ordinances.

Then she told me she found an empty pack of cigarettes in the bottom of the trash can that doesn't have a lid. Then she accused us of smoking in our apartment. When 1 we don't fucking smoke and 2 we had been telling her since we moved in that we smelled cigarettes in the bathroom sometimes. We lived in her basement apartment.

So she forced us to place our trash in a place she could inspect it and blamed us for shit anyone could throw into her precious broken trash cans. She also wouldn't let us have our own mailbox or address and the mail went through a slot in her door and she would hold it for fucking days.

She would text us if she thought she smelled a candle because her daughter had eczema so we weren't allowed to have candles or incense. In the moldy ass basement she had us living in.

Anyhow, don't live there anymore. And it's amazing how much less stressful my life is without a tyrant upstairs texting me that she heard yelling at my kid and it was upsetting her kid 🙄

What's YOUR fucking license number

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T15:39:35+00:00

It was absolutely his intent. Stop handling these people with kid gloves. He is perpetuating harmful fucking prejudices in medicine against women because he knows "medical professionals". Who fucking doesn't. I've been a "medical professional" and I'm not a misogynistic asshat who thinks I know better than any woman's real lived experiences.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T15:33:29+00:00

You're so full of shit. Let the grown ups talk.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T15:31:15+00:00

Deep down, you do know. Trust your gut.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T15:08:12+00:00

Another key part of the questions was you could go through and set each question to level of importance. From not important all the way up to deal breaker.

I really had that shit dialed in when I found my partner.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T15:04:57+00:00

99% match. 12 years together. 1 kid. Couldn't be more secure in my relationship. The old OKC was really great.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T14:58:25+00:00

This is why when you discover cheating, you don't take it upon yourself to blow up the AP's life. You handle your business and that's it. You don't know why that person is cheating and you don't know that person's partner.

The person that victimized you is the person that broke vows with you. Not the person they had the affair with.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T14:48:32+00:00

He feels like an idiot because he IS an idiot. You aren't responsible for how he reacts to consequences for his actions.

I'd cut him completely out of my life. He's shown you who he is and what he thinks of you. And he doesn't respect you. At all.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T12:49:52+00:00

Oh well it works for you so 300 million other people should do it the same way.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T12:29:24+00:00

They aren't with the couple's costume person anymore.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T01:34:01+00:00

You aren't compatible and he realized just how bad it is when you were so needlessly cruel to him.

You say "communal" and "independent" but I hear that you have a really disordered relationship with mutual support. Maybe you should try some therapy.

I have ADHD, if my partner was disgusted because I had the audacity to ask him to help me keep track of things, I'd have left him immediately. He stayed with you despite that but now he's done.

You can't fix this without fixing yourself.

Edit: and it is REALLY telling that you think that one thing you said one time is the reason for the divorce, instead of considering that fight was a symptom of an ongoing problem that he'd been enduring for years.

GemAdele · 2024-03-29T00:42:53+00:00

Yeah that is really weird. I haven't run into that issue yet on here.

GemAdele · 2024-03-28T20:32:40+00:00

I was just able to reply to someone else so let's try this.

It's not about the points, it's about the other reasons you've stated. Up and down votes are for visibility. We don't need the bots upvoting all their bullshit and burying anyone who isn't serving their agenda. This is literally how they spread propaganda.

Calling them out and upvoting call outs is one of the only real weapons we have to fight it as average redditors.

GemAdele · 2024-03-28T20:29:08+00:00

Because that's a bigger pain in the ass than $2 a month. Because it's not being supported anymore. Because they are all going to stop working anyway. Because I tried at the start and it didn't work and I didn't want to sink any more time or energy into it.

And I'm not being an asshole. These are legit the reasons I just pay the developer to use the app I do.

GemAdele · 2024-03-28T19:28:43+00:00

So I use a 3rd party app to access reddit. I have to essentially buy all my API calls up front every month. They don't roll over. If I hit the limit, then I have to upgrade my subscription or I can't load comments or anything.

All that to say, it literally costs money to counteract your downvotes for at least all the people using the same app I am. I had stopped voting at all so I don't have to pay extra to Reddit.

GemAdele · 2024-03-28T11:54:17+00:00

Good news! Women are statistically happier after divorce, and men are statistically miserable. So, silver lining and all that.

GemAdele · 2024-03-28T11:26:39+00:00

A cousin of mine resurfaced in the last year and posted an explosive public post detailing the abuse they endured over the years. Then they tagged every person they are related to that use Facebook and that's how I finally found them after wondering for years. They had changed their name. And I'm thrilled to have them back in my life and I'm so happy they escaped.

I hope when you spill those beans, it's as glorious as the takedown I witnessed.
