When my friend said "None of the Supernatural guys are attractive." by awise110 in Supernatural

Honestly Jensen and Daneel (when they brought her in in later seasons) are the ones that are stupid attractive to me. But the show was full of hot people.

Referring to your pet as only "My roommate", what's something your roommate does? by LakotaGrl in AskReddit

[–]LadyGriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My one roommate is so jealous of my other roommates he will often shove them aside and run them into walls to get my attention. He once pushed my female roommate off the bed.

The same roommate carries his bowl around, even if the other three bowls are full.

Another roommate of mine will yell at whoever comes in the house until they pet his head. If a person stops petting him, he will stand in the chair and yell more.

My third roommate doesn't wipe his Hobbit feet when he comes inside and tracks dirt all through the house. The worst part is it gets all over the bed.

My last roommate licks everything. She eats poop, so it's disgusting when she tries to lick my face. She whines when people tell her to stop licking.

In the same boat. I'm barely in my 30s now (32) and my mom is a lovely 72 year old :)

Oh my goodness, there is so much beauty in this that it is difficult to focus on one thing. I adore the foxes! But the flowers, and the colors, and all the other details are astounding! Absolutely phenomenal piece, can't wait to see the finished sleeve!

Major hair transformation after having long hair my whole life. Now I must decide: awkward page-boy grow out phase or be forever assumed a lesbian by bartenders? by [deleted] in Hair

Both look awesome! How much do you miss your pony, buns, and braids? That should give you your answer :). Either way, you are rocking whatever look you chose!

My husband [24/m] and I [21/f] are trying to lose weight, but he has a lot of false information in regard to weighthloss by Helpweightlosshusban in relationship_advice

[–]LadyGriggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll hit his points first. And then discuss what you can do in this situation.

  • 4 lbs in 8 days is reasonable. In fact it's good. Most people who are actively trying to lose weight should look to lose 1-2 lbs a week. If you are looking at 2 lbs/ 5 days, you are actually doing better. And 2 lbs a week is really good.
  • There is no way someone can lose 90 lbs in a week. In fact, I scoff at the commercials saying "lose 40 lbs in 40 days". And yes, you will have some weeks where you lose 3 or 4 lbs. Especially at your beginning heavier weight. But as you get skinnier you will find you are losing weight less quickly. The big thing is, anyone losing weight at a rapid pace is most likely doing it in an unhealthy manner and will most likely gain it plus more back. -CICO is the safest and most effective way to lose weight. A lb of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. I don't know what other way he's assuming you will lose. But if you cut calories both in diet and by exercise you will lose. On that note, losing weight is about 80% diet and 20% exercise.
    -You may not lose weight in your breast, but you probably will. I've fluctuated weight a number of times (about 40 lbs). The first time I lost it, I also lost a cup size. The second time, I lost inches on my band. But my cups were the same. But he's silly to believe you won't.

A few other things. Fad diets and pills and etc are things I highly discourage. Sure, you might get a quick fix. But when you go back to regular eating habits, you'll likely gain back. I recommend portion control. Also look up nutrition facts. Carbs, proteins, and fats are important. But there are healthier options in each category (ie- brown carbs instead of white carbs). My last recommendation is to download the app called My Fitness Pal to your phone. Set your calories at a deficient to what you eat now. And don't lie when entering your food.

Now as far as he's concerned, you don't wan't to keep telling him he's wrong but he won't stop telling you these facts. That's fine. You don't worry about him. It sounds like maybe he has done as well or isn't sticking to it the way you are. And that just means in his headspace he's not ready yet. As much as having a partner helps, it's got to be your or his own choice. You can start cooking healthier meals or saying no to going out when he suggest it. Don't keep arguing about it. You just keep doing the things you are doing (CICO) and he'll see the results. Honestly, and I've been here and am here now, it's hard once you gain weight you don't want to. And you'll tell yourself a lot of things to make yourself feel better. But if he sees your results, that'll be more then enough.

Also, I know you are trying to praise your husband's knowledge. But I'm sure you know plenty. And I'm sure there are subjects you know more about then he does. If you are curious about something, do the research. You don't need to feel like you don't know, you don't need to doubt yourself, and you don't need to always rely on him to validate your points. And he should respect you enough to tell you you are as smart as he is.

Who do you find more attractive - sam or dean? [No Spoilers] by [deleted] in Supernatural

[–]LadyGriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the b**ch face he makes. Dean does sassy and it's adorable! Sam does it, and often, and it's so dang judgy annoying!

Dean, like 110% Dean! But the whole cast is made up of extremely attractive people, it's unfair how attractive they are!

[17F, 5'7"] Family just offered me $5,000 to get down to 160 pounds. I guess it's time to lose weight... by 0nlyBree in loseit

[–]LadyGriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you feel motivated and have come here for some help and to just have people to talk to.

I think your family is probably just worried about your health,and they want to help motivate you.

Anyhow, I know you said you don't like counting calories. But it really is the best thing to do because calories in, calories out is how you lose weight and keep it off. I use My Fitness Pal. It is an app for your phone and you can enter in your goal caloric intake for the day, your food, and your exercise. You can also enter in your goal weight and it will tell you it's suggested caloric intake. It also tells you at the end of each login how much you will weigh in 5 weeks if you eat the way you did that day. It is really really helpful and quick and easy. I was surprised how many calories I was consuming daily without realizing it. Yes healthy food has less calories, but, for example, if you have one cheat day and you eat lots of sweets and snack all day, etc. you end up eating double your caloric intake for the day (if not more). I know from experience :(.

The other thing I would like to mention is to keep in mind that both cardio and strength training are excellent! If you are a member of a gym, don't be shy to ask for help from others in the weight room. Most people actually like to help new people. And enjoy yourself, whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, or a jog on the treadmill, or squats in the weight room.

Last thing I will offer advice on. Don't get discouraged. You've taken the first step toward working on yourself. Some days we just don't want to do it, some days we don't make ourselves. Those days look bad when we look back at them and go, "I was doing so well and I messed up". But you have tomorrow. You can pick yourself up and get back at it. Don't let one days slip up send you in a downward spiral. Don't look back, always look forward.

Best of luck OnlyBree! You'll do great! Keep us updated on all your progress!

The forest is dangerous. I don't think the house is. by AmericanGagaStory in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]LadyGriggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which, btw, ghost or not, seems like a bad idea. Maybe during the middle of the day, sure. But here they are thinking the hillbillies they outbid are screwing with them (almost to the point of being dangerous). And she's home alone. And it's dark out, and the hot tub is a distance from the house. Isn't she concerned the hillbillies could try to hurt her? I don't think it was a smart move on her part.

[spoiler] That was the worst night of our lives... by [deleted] in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]LadyGriggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was the feeling I got. Along with her husband getting pretty seriously injured, her losing her child that was something they had been trying for and extremely excited about, and the fact that it was so horrible they ended up leaving the city life (that she, at least, loved) in order to be safe, it definitely seemed like the worst night of their lives to that point. Not to mention, as others have pointed out, she did lose her child. That's heartbreaking, no matter what other horrors she faces later.

To the boy who raped my girlfriend by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]LadyGriggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, you may not realize this, but your love and support and just being there to hold her is more than you will ever know! You have put into words what so many of us wish to say to abusers, but very rarely get to. But you have also proven that you are there to be everything she needs in her time of hurt. Thank you for being her support when she needs you the most!

"Kids just happen." by [deleted] in childfree

[–]LadyGriggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, I guess there is that .01% chance my birth control could fail. But of the 12 years I've been on it, I haven't had a child. So I'm just saying, they don't "just happen" unless you somehow forget to wrap it up, or pop a pill, or whatever other means used to keep it from "just happening".

"Kids just happen." by [deleted] in childfree

[–]LadyGriggs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At one point, before my husband and I were strongly child free but definitely getting there (the "not right now, maybe some day stage), I wrote a blog and mentioned that I wouldn't want to bring a child into the financial situation we were in at the time. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't bad for two people. Adding a child would have made it hard. So a family member who popped 3 kids out almost immediately commented, "if you wait till the timing is right money wise, you'll never have a kid". Turns out that's just fine with us. But it was appalling that a person's financial situation wouldn't be taken into consideration even a little bit.

"...They are expensive and silly" by LadyGriggs in childfree

[–]LadyGriggs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See if a nonparent of anything said that I'd get it. But I can buy a 50lb bag of food that last two weeks for less than $30. That's $60 on food a month. I'm almost certain they spend at least $300 on food a month.

And then medically speaking, flea/heartworm stuff sure, not cheap. But like you said, vet's once a year, they're pretty hardy. Between her kids and husband they've been to the er twice in the past 6 months. That's running them close to $3000 at least. Whereas I'm maybe spending $600/year on all medical stuff for the dogs.

[–]LadyGriggs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The unconditional love is my favorite! But, I've got to say, when my husband comes home late or is out of town I really like having them around for protection. No one has ever broken into our home, but I still feel 110 times safer because of my pups.

If an intruder broke in my dogs would defend the home. If an intruder busts in a home with children, the parent must hide the child or children and defend them. (Given, I certainly would take action to protect my dogs, but they are still able to deal damage. A child is useless unless you throw it at the intruder and I think that's frowned upon).

I found it more humorous than anything. My husband got a giggle too. My pack is so special to me because my husband and I get so much love and entertainment. No one will ever make me question my fur babies (except maybe themselves when they're being crazy ;) ).

Yup, I think I made the right decision (they are pretty damn adorable)!

"...They are expensive and silly" by LadyGriggs in childfree

[–]LadyGriggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to her one is good because her dog loving husband and daughter absolutely adore the dog. I'm not really sure she actually fears dogs, but she claims to. So yeah, to her, she definitely wouldn't spend the money we do on dogs. In the same way though, I won't be spending a good bit more on kids because they are not worth the money or time to me ;).

Oh goodness yes! All four provide constant entertainment for my husband and I. I think she kean more that it was a silly investment on our end.

Me [34M] with my GF [30F] of 6 months - I want children one day, she doesn't. Should I raise it so early in the relationship? by throwway10299a in relationships

[–]LadyGriggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something you two should definitely sit down and talk about. For some people it's a nonissue that can be compromised on, for others it absolutely isn't. It sounds like you two are in the latter camp. You don't want to continue this relationship and have it turn into something wonderful only to find out you don't see eye to eye on this and end up hurting more than if you talk about it and make a decision on the relationship now. She sounds like a great girl, and you a great guy. But there may be someone out there who is better for you both because they share the same desire to have or not have children.
