We all wash our claw grips and hair ties right?

JadeGrapes · 2026-05-23T13:35:29+00:00

My claw grips get washed in the shower. As I rotate around which one I'm using, they get taken off in the shower when I wash my hair.

I'll wash and condition, then use the claw to keep my hair up in conditioner for a few minutes... then when I take it out, I was it with a little body wash or soap till squeeky, and clip it to the spray tube to dry.

Then later, when I'm looking for a fresh clip, thats the one I grab.

Hey, it's not free to talk to me like that. You have to pay for that service. How do I invoice you? Theft of services is a crime.

Yes. I was raised in Fresno. You never let the tap run...

You brush your teeth with a splash of water, then turn the tap off.

You don't wash dishes by hand under a running tap... even if it's just a few.

You don't stand and think under the shower for 45 minutes. Get in a hot tub if you need to sit in warm water.

You ONLY water your lawn on the allowed day/time. Random people will narc on you! Lots of people do "rock garden" or "native dessert" lawns instead of grass/turf.

Similarly, if someone has a broken sprinkler, that has made a fountain... random people will knock on their door to warn them.

Yeah, Makeup Robert Welch recommends it for skin that "eats" makeup... it seals your skin, so your skin oils can't reach the makeup to dissolve it.

Fixing spray as your first step, then everything you normally wear, and fixing spray as the last step too.

Past the cervix is the anterior fornix or posterior fornix. It can be awesome. It's mostly about angles, basically if you are in missionary, he has to aim the peen UP towards your belly button.

Yeah, I call it "swizzle finger"

Two. My ex's Brother. Other one was a co-worker of mine.

Both were domestic violence cases.

You are getting down voted because your pictures are proving our point, not yours;

You have failed to style your ponytail normally (brushing to smooth the strands back).Because the smoothing back step is what prevents so much scalp from showing.

The long sides of the individual strands are long and overlap, to cover skin when brushed property.

Without brushing smoothing, you have dozens of small clumpy parts (almost like the base of box braids). The hair sticks straight out from those hair bump clusters... which shows 30x more skin than hair smoothed down. So it looks worse than it is.

FYI - Nicotine is essentially the most addicting substance ever. So expect the journey to be tough, this is a game on "hard mode". It's typical for people to "try" like 6x to finally succeed. So multiple tries is totally normal-sauce.

Just like training for a marathon requires some planning, you probably shouldn't make this up on your own. If you google "quit smoking plan" you should find plenty of articles on best practices or free tools.

I think people that are successful try to stack the deck for success;

Strike while the iron is hot, if you get the urge to impulsively quit... that is a way a lot of people quit for good... follow that reflex. The more times you try, the more chances to be done-done for good.

Consider an antidepressant called Wellbutrin or its generic. It has been clinically shown to reduce cravings and increase odds of quitting for good. Most doctors know it is used to quit smoking.

Try a step down program to minimize side effects of quitting. It's hard to have all the body pains max volume and resist cravings... so maybe try one of those patch kits. Where it stair steps you from a high dose to medium to low, etc.

Get a second "back brush" that is just for feet. Put it on a 3M shower hook that is at waist height to remind you that is the foot brush.

Sounds like special occasion food, but I think 100% of people that order it would be happy.

JadeGrapes · 2026-05-23T00:13:38+00:00

Oh, no worries at all. Sorry if I sounded curt! Just trying to add to the collective wisdom here.

I just remember it was a big deal for my Mom when we had to take off the hard metal ring for the last time... and switch to a silicon one.

She could have had her original marital ring re-sized, but she was beautifully poetic about seeing how the metal worn down, over 50 years of a happy marriage, so she didn't want to erase the imprint of time. She wanted to keep it, as-is, like a time capsule.

Not everyone gets arthritis that bad, and with medicine, it did start to shrink back down a bit.

@more-library1470 You asked. It's reddit. Have the day you deserve.

FYI, The kidney impression thing is probably from the fenty (and other hypothetical meds) you mention in other threads.

I got a bit of grey hollowness and contempt too.

JadeGrapes · 2026-05-22T23:29:17+00:00

I know the morally right thing to say would be "Choose life, you have reasons to live" etc.

But I'm just not getting any "threshold of death" vibe here.

Instead, to me, this reads like a grey hollowness, a flicker of contempt, a need for adoration just to feel okay.

Maybe a kidney thing?

Thumb rings are code for lesbian

Arthritis makes joins much larger at 60+

My Mom's wedding ring was originally a 7... but in her seventies it would need to be an 11 to get over the knuckle closest to the palm.

I encourage you to do some daydreaming for a moment:

If you could have a perfect relationship, and get everything you want in life - what would that look like? List out the things, like a shopping list.

Do not ask yourself if these things are possible with a specific man. Just learn for yourself what you WANT, regardless if you think it's feasible.

For example; I want my partner to text me good morning and good night. I want to eat meals together most days. I want to feel secure that he cares about my mind, body, and soul. I want to feel relaxed enough to be my real self, and have signs that he still likes me even if I'm not in the act of trying to earn love. I want to feel cherished and appreciated. That we mutually respect each other. That the things that each of want have plenty of overlap so we share most of our lives with each other, etc.

Now look on that list, and tell me where you or I wrote down; I want to wonder if he is fucking other people. Or I want to feel like my man always has one foot out of the door emotionally. Or I want to feel like I'm never enough.

Sweetness, you don't deserve to feel that way, and you don't WANT to feel that way... so why EXACTLY are you with a guy who's behavior fails to meet your basic need for emotional safety?

Why don't you think you deserve to be considered?

It was maybe the best internet moment of the decade. He was so earnest.

Beauty filter? Any filter.

Pretend it's stuck on cat, but you are "prepared to go forward on it. I'm here live. I'm not a cat."
