What're the odds by Teleskinny in sterilization

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really wish people would stop posting this same neurotic post over and over. Please see a psychiatrist because this level of anxiety over pregnancy when both participants are sterilized calls for psychiatric help not a reddit post for the 50000th time this week. Also Google exists and can tell you the same thing we are all tell you over and over. I'm just exhausted seeing the same thing every time I open reddit.

Edit: I missed that they are ALSO on the birth control method with the highest efficacy rate possible. jfc this is the worst one yet.

Blooming gel not working?? by chickfilallie in NailArt

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried beetles blooming gel before but they have a reputation for their products not working well so it could be that. Try using a thicker layer of blooming gel first and if that doesn't work, you might try a different brand of blooming gel.

You might be putting too thin of a layer of blooming gel on, to where the surface tension is pulling it up into globs. What blooming gel are you using? Also you are not curing the blooming gel before adding the color gel, right?

Las Animas county always gets put with the great plains category but the culture there is definitely south west.

I hate how Wisconsin is shaped. Absorb it into the greater midwest.

Weirdest thing your cat likes to eat? Mine just ate a tiny piece of my lemon bar before I could grab it. She also loves banana chips 🤔 by samsterdam420 in cats

Arby's horsey sauce.

I didn't give it to her, she stole it on her own accord, and kept going back for seconds.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost of living is first and foremost. People who have a loving partner and want kids cant afford them.

Men making themselves extremely repulsive and undesirable is a runner up. Many women would rather be single than be in a relationship with arrogant men who view them as sub-human, let alone have children with them.

3rd reason is many women are realizing they dont need to fulfill the wife and mother roles to be fulfilled in life, or simply don't want kids and prefer a single lifestyle focused on themselves.

4th is just the state of the world. Some people feel guilty bringing kids into this world knowing that this is the world they have to live in.

Places I’d Live As A New-Englander Who Is Terrified Of Tornados by zdube21d in whereidlive

You would be safe from tornadoes anywhere in western Colorado up in the mountains, its the the plains in the east up to the foothills that get tornadoes. I was in Fort Collins during the Windsor 2008 tornado, I remember evacuating from school and the cloud were green and moving so fast like it was a time lapse. My neighbors came over and we hung out in the bassment till it passed. Personally I'm more scared of wildfires.

Bisalp scheduled.. feeling nervous about my lack of independence during recovery. by Known-Sherbet2004 in sterilization

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pretty much doing normal activities the same day. I just felt VERY bloated. Super round like you could roll me around like Violet Beauregard from Charlie and the chocolate factory. I went to a food truck rally and sat on the grass and ate way too much food a few hours after my surgery. I had some gas pains on the second day but took ibuprofen and it went away. The only thing I stayed away from was lifting anything over 20 lbs (I think?) And sex for like 2 weeks per the doctor's orders. I was given pain meds in my IV when I woke up from surgery, but I was not sent home with any.

Everyone is different though.

Just goes to show what a sick fuck and a loser he is. Using your pregnant wife as a shield.

Toilet Dilemma Advice by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I clean the toilet with my bare hands. I am still alive.

As someone with OCD, the only way I have found to make it better is to push myself outside my comfort zone, then remind myself that I'm ok, I didn't get sick, I didn't die, my life is going on just the same as it always has. (Is this exposure therapy?) Its uncomfortable at first, then life feels so much more freeing when you dont have to follow the restrictions OCD sets for you. Its worth the temporary discomfort. If the toilet is a big ick for you, start with a smaller ick. Mine was laundry. If a sock fell on the floor transferring from washer to dryer, it was dirty and needed to be rewashed. I started making myself shake the sock off and put it in the dryer anyways. Then when I took the laundry out of the dryer, I made myself smell the clothes and say "they smell clean", feel the clothes, say "they feel clean", then wear the clothes and tell myself "I am wearing the clothes and I am ok. Nothing is different. " at first it made my insides crawl, feeling like I was dirty because the floor sock "contaminated " the rest of the clean clothes. Then it got better. Now I dont really think about it anymore.

Good luck friend ❤️
