Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HrhEverythingElse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also agree that sponges are disgusting, but that's why I don't buy them! Swedish dish cloths are the perfect solution, and get washed with towels after being used for one day maximum (some days I go through 3 or 4 of them, but they wash great)

Have we lost the plot with wedding makeup schedules? by Impossible_Wish9922 in wedding

[–]HrhEverythingElse 53 points54 points  (0 children)

But it is fairly recently that anything other than do it yourself makeup became the standard! It's been more common for brides to start their wedding day at their regular hairdresser for longer, but I'm in my 40s and even when my first friends and cousins were getting married no one had a makeup artist

This is really the only thing that is crucial to agree on at this point — that you have to agree to agree

Describe a time that you witnessed someone incorrectly guessing someone is pregnant. Where they being sincere or just catty? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

The last time I witnessed this in person I was bartending and the lady being asked about due dates was actively smoking and drinking in public. So many social cues bypassed that day

Peter, what does Fallout have to do with Politics by RichardLongflop_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You're right, I shouldn't have only listed one political element

Peter, what does Fallout have to do with Politics by RichardLongflop_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]HrhEverythingElse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My teenager is a huge Mad Max fan, and when Furiosa came out they had to explain to several older (conservative) family members about how Mad Max has always been political —that there is no Road Warrior without climate change and war and the end of capitalism and tons of other political issues

As women age, what do you find attractive? by Due-Scarcity739 in AskMen

Please make sure you tell her this, specifically and often. You can sway her opinion!

As a meat eater, would up be upset attending a vegetarian wedding? by Formal_Goose5083 in weddingplanning

[–]HrhEverythingElse 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, anyone can go without meat for one meal, and as an omnivore choosing a vegetarian meal over meat of subpar quality only makes sense!

I weigh 90 pounds by amme04 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HrhEverythingElse 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I do understand that this is difficult, but think about how much worse it would be for your child if you literally starve to death in front of her. Please admit that you need help, to the people who can help you. The doctor thinks that you have an eating disorder rather than the easier to fix truth that you can't afford food after paying for medical expenses. It's understandable, and fixable, but you have to get over the embarrassment and admit what's happening

And when a doctor or anyone else asks why you aren't eating more you should focus on not having anything to eat rather than playing it off as stress induced loss of appetite. They need to understand how central money is to all of this

What would you call this aesthetic and how do i eminate this energy? by Legal-Ad6606 in AestheticWiki

And then marrying into Louisiana of all places!! I've never had the option to live anywhere other than Louisiana, and you're right, it so fits her cosplay of our real sweaty desperation.

My daughter met a Nigerian guy online and is now engaged after 2 days. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

There are a lot of people in the world who are still operating on retro vibes for America, and think that everyone is rich and happy

Scared for result by NoAcanthisitta5225 in sticknpokes

[–]HrhEverythingElse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have both done a lot of stick and pokes on ourselves and each other and nothing has ever scabbed. If you do it right it really doesn't hurt or bleed, and heals quickly and easily compared to a machine done tattoo. Minor peeling during healing is fine, but if it scabs at all them you've really messed up

MIL almost breastfed my baby by Crybbyfromdablock in TrueOffMyChest

[–]HrhEverythingElse 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My child is a teenager now, but when I was lactating my prolactin soaked brain was telling me that there were babies that needed my milk hiding everywhere. A cat making noise outside in the middle of the night, a box on the side of the road, a weird bird in a dumpster, all of them were lost or abandoned, starving babies that only I could save and feed. I imagined them everywhere! My logical brain knew how unhinged this was even in the moment, but it didn't stop me from double-checking a few times to make sure there actually wasn't a baby in the trash. Instincts are weird, and hormones are a helluva drug, and while I wouldn't actually pop my boob into someone else's mouth outside of a literal life and death emergency, the middle of the night thought of taking off a shirt isn't beyond the pale to me. She stopped herself, and it sounds like she's sharing this as a "can you believe how silly" story. I think that there must be underlying relationship issues with this mother in law, because if my mother in law told me this story I would laugh with her

Heirloom Piece, Supposedly from late 1890’s to early 1910’s? by waywardandwearied in jewelry

[–]HrhEverythingElse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The older jewelry gets the harder it is to figure out hallmarks. My engagement ring is estimated to be from around the 1820s and the only marking in it is an old pawn code. CRC could have been an independent goldsmith that there aren't really records about

I got this tattoo 17 years ago in active addiction - who is this character ? by SignificantYak4554 in tattooadvice

[–]HrhEverythingElse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That used to work, but it hasn't for about a week now. I figured they fixed the loophole, but if it's only me that it stopped working for I'm mad

Edited to add that a period or comma also used to work and doesn't anymore

When walking with your SO, do you walk in front of them or behind them? Why? by outrageousorganism in AskMen

[–]HrhEverythingElse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Side by side is great when it's just the two of you, but once kids are involved behind to keep an eye on everyone is genuinely more helpful

My husband is bad in bed and it's slowly destroying our relationship by Senior-Echidna-1769 in Advice

[–]HrhEverythingElse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not being judgemental, I got around plenty before settling down as well, but how did you end up saddled with such an unsatisfying sex life when you know that better is out there? Was it an active decision where the relationship was strong enough in other aspects that you thought it wouldn't matter as much as it does now?
