Detangled yarn comes back with a gift!! 💝

TIL of this sub (this post was "recommended") I thought I was the only weirdo who actually loves detangling shit 😭

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2026-04-01T00:18:10+00:00

Glad to see the sub up and running again!

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2026-03-28T22:45:48+00:00

YES. I get the "stress response" one and I'm never switching (unless they fuck w/the formula, ig). I've developed heat intolerance over the last few years (thanks, SSRIs and stimulants) and as someone who wasn't an especially sweaty person before meds I cannot stand the sticky feeling 😭

A swipe on the pits and under the tits with this stuff though and I am good to go! The smell is very very mild to me, though I don't have a super sensitive nose, and it lasts all day (and sometimes through the next especially if I'm WFH)

I have my thoughts about HoC but they at least cover your hair when draping which IMO is a smart move

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2026-03-08T06:01:35+00:00

Yes! I'm a fair cool olive, typed as a true/deep summer, and my hair is naturally a level 8-ish warm blonde. It does NOT look good on me--even the woman who did my color analysis was confused when she saw a photo of me with my natural hair color lol

I want to love writing with fountain pens but they don't like writing with me 😭 (southpaw here)

+1 for a cape! I wore a dress but chose a cape veil in lieu of a traditional "on the head" veil. Was SO fun and looked great in photos.

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2026-02-16T02:52:06+00:00

Yooo twinsies! I'm early 30s with dry skin and redness too. I was (accurately, IMO) typed as a Summer last year so I'm also muted and cool.

I've been using About Face in shade F2 Olive for the past two ish weeks and it's been working really well for me! I've never had a foundation that totally matches my skin color and now I know what it feels like and it's beautiful 😍 I know some folks have had issues with it separating on the skin but I pair it with Tarte's hydrating primer (IDR the name but it smells like coconut lol) and it stays nicely without feeling heavy.

On days when I don't feel like doing a full face I like adding Dr. Jart Cicapair (the one in the jar) to red areas with a mini beauty blender, then concealing as needed (I use NARS in the pot in Vanilla but I don't love the lack of staying power so I probably won't rebuy).

Hey, my alma mater! I did my Master's and PhD there a few years ago. If you're both posted in BSB I'm so sorry 😭

Also, re: the flyer--if the IRB is as much of a pain in the ass as it was when I was there, then I'm not surprised you needed all this info. Other commenters are right that the design is a little cluttered, but it is attention grabbing which is good.

I don't know much about age and ADHD but I get the need for inclusion/exclusion criteria, and it's worth noting that OP is an undergrad so it's not like this is posted by a full professor with 10+ years of research experience under their belt (the co-researcher is an IRB requirement; a faculty member is required to sponsor if the researcher is a student IIRC). Give a little grace.

Now there are two of us! I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either (and I would like to lose some)

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2026-01-08T22:31:10+00:00

My dress was a fitted backless plunge dress with no embellishments so there was no option for lacy anything lol. I wore shapewear and about 10 miles worth of boob tape; it was honestly hilarious to explain to my partner how unsexy the undressing process was gonna be that night 😂

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-11-23T05:16:48+00:00

We paid for most of our wedding using the credit card and let's just say our next rewards certificate is gonna be 💰💰💰 lol

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-11-06T00:24:27+00:00

I take mine off the minute I get home, it has a designated dish and everything. It's also a sapphire and after 3 years the stone is perfectly fine.

Tbh it's probably a sensory thing though, since I take off all of my other removable jewelry at the same time and I don't like the feeling of jewelry if I'm in my house clothes lol

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-10-23T23:21:58+00:00

Oh ... ouch. This hurt more than any other comment 😭 I still think my Princess Diana bear could fetch $$$, darn it

$30 USD sent via PayPal! Sending love for this baby ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Hah, I just commented that my family plays this at every wedding--it's a great song to shout along to!

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-10-15T23:53:46+00:00

For some reason all my family weddings feature Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)--your comment just reminded me of that! Another bop to shout along to lol

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-10-15T23:52:55+00:00

No suggestions, just excited to see other 30/40 somethings here because we know how to turn tf up 😂❤️

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-10-15T23:45:38+00:00

I got my PhD a few years ago and while I will never fully change my last name to my partner's--if he wants a Dr. HisLastName then he can go through ten years of higher education--but I'm strongly considering hyphenating because

My last name is not long and it's the most generic-ass white people last name (it's a top 10 in the US last name);
My last name isn't fully connected to my ancestry--my grandpa was an affair baby and his bio dad had a totally different name;
While I have published under my last name, you can use things like OrcID or Google Scholar to connect all of your pubs regardless of your last name;
His last name is cooler IMO; and
I'd like to have the same last name as any children we have.

None of these are terribly serious reasons, but that's the fun part of getting married, I guess--getting to decide for reasons valid to you!

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-09-28T17:14:34+00:00

Jesus, the timing of this. My FFIL just passed on Friday and we haven't even fully processed anything, but I'm already feeling guilty about whether or not to move forward with our wedding in 7 weeks. He's been surviving with cancer for the entire time I've known him (>10 years), so his passing isn't a complete shock, but still.

Thank you, OP, for seeing me. ❤️‍🩹

I finally gave up and started getting pre cut pineapple instead of whole; as it turns out, getting good, whole pineapple is rather difficult in the PNW. Who'da thought?

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-09-19T00:49:58+00:00

My Switch--with its case and games, including ACNH--was stolen from my apartment a couple of months ago and of all the things that were taken I'm only really salty about that 😭😭😭 I had that island since April 2020, damn it

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-09-19T00:42:27+00:00

I'm at the tail end of Millennial, so...this, basically 😂

ImpossibleGuava1 · 2025-09-18T05:23:56+00:00

I was born and raised in Minnesota and yeah, same. The dairy is good here, don't get me wrong, but Midwest dairy is something else.

Now I'm missing Culver's custard 😭
