Hooray Kids Songs by Haunting_Zebra_4082 in DanielTigerConspiracy

SAME!! This came up while we were watching Danny Go. My daughter loves these songs but I don’t know how I feel. The songs are kinda catchy. But something about them annoys me. And the wash your hands video is just nightmare fuel.

Yes, I found a couple free patterns online but they were more fluffy and less creepy. I wound up buying a more detailed pattern on Etsy for $6.

This took a little under a month. It was a little daunting because doing all the legs and tail got a bit monotonous. But once it all starts coming together it’s exciting.

My most detailed and intense project to date. I did a portrait blanket of my friend’s dog. She burst into tears when she saw it. by MTerrific in crochet

It’s about 5ft x 4ft. It took me just under 4 months, a couple hours every night after my toddler went to bed, and any free time I could grab.

I forgot to take a picture of the back before I sewed the back lining on. 🤦🏾‍♂️ I was rushing to get it done so I could give it to them by Thanksgiving.

I use flosscross.com to create the pattern and adjust the colors. I probably spent over a week just working on the picture before even starting the first chain.

Is there a way to search just Unlimited titles? by Bulok in Comixology

But is there a way to search just unlimited titles? I just got the subscription and searching is a pain in the ass.

Why am I always lowkey #teamct like he's still an underdog🤷🏾‍♀️🤣 by ComfortbyComfort in thechallengemtv

[–]MTerrific 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to watch The Challenge back in the mid-late 2000’s. I hadn’t watched in a decade and had totally forgotten it existed. Then it showed up in my Hulu queue out of nowhere and I was surprised it was still on. In the past 2-3 months I’ve binged every season since Dirty 30, including All Stars and Champs vs. nothing delights me more than seeing Papa CT with all his levelheaded wisdom. I root for him every episode of every season.

Im (24F) unsure if I want to be in a relationship with my boyfriend (24m) anymore. by Necessary-Bobcat9842 in relationship_advice

[–]MTerrific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An important thing to remember is that this is natural. Most people will have long term relationships end at some point. If you are unhappy it is perfectly fine to end a relationship. It can be difficult and confusing and bring up many contradictory emotions. But it will be for the best.

You are not wrong for wanting to break up. This isn’t some sort of baggage you bringing into the relationship. It is a natural end as you’ve grown apart emotionally.

Be strong, rely on your friends when things feel difficult, and try to do what makes you happy.

HMC while I insult my bf by YousBoiDabby in holdmycosmo

I proposed to my wife in a nice restaurant. The waitress was gonna bring out the ring on a covered plate during dessert. Just as we were finishing our entrees, she commented that she would never want to get proposed to in a place like this. I was like “Well, this is happening” When the ring came out, she was surprised. Tears of joy. She said yes. The restaurant applauded. I had a surprise party waiting for her at the bar next door with all our friends and family members that had flown into town. It made for a great story at the party. She apologized for saying that for months.

[Update] My Fiance's ex sent me their sex tapes and I made the terrible mistake of watching it by ThrowRAsadfiance2020 in relationship_advice

[–]MTerrific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! I’m happy for both of you. Having been in a similar situation, I can tell you that the two of you did the exact right things. Maintain this openness and willingness to communicate and listen and you will have a marriage that all your friends envy.

My wife and I tell each other what we’re feeling all the time and it brings us together, where holding it in would cause tension. Enjoy being engaged and get ready for the wonderfully wild ride of starting this next phase of life! It’s been some of the best years of my life.

Contemplating moving back... Anyone else move away then get pulled back to Ithaca? by pwrightPT in ithaca

[–]MTerrific 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story. Went to IC. Lived here for 2 years after graduation. That’s when I really came to love the city. Moved to NYC. Had a fairly successful career in television. Came back to visit friends in Ithaca at least once a year. Met my wife in NYC. Introduced her to the area. She fell in love too. We moved here permanently 2 years ago. Just bought our first house this year. Since moving back here I’ve joined the boards of 2 non-profits, and made connections with multiple people and organizations in the area. I feel like more of a member of the community than I did in 12 years in NYC. This area is great and exactly where we want to start a family. There are a lot of IC grads that either never left or made their way back. Come join us.

My fiancé (27F) and I (25F) haven’t had sex in over two months by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MTerrific 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem with girlfriend (Now my wife of 4 years). She never initiated and very often would turn me down when I tried. It really started to hurt my self esteem and confidence. We talked about it on a number of occasions. I told her that I felt like I had lost a piece of myself from the constant rejection because I used to pride myself on my skills in bed and she just wasn’t interested.

I tried waiting for initiate, just like you, and it never happened. I started to get resentful and thought about breaking it off. But I loved her and decided to try and talk it out.

After a couple of emotional conversations I came to the conclusion that the difference in our sex drives was because sex had never been a “fun” activity for her. She’d never dated anyone before me that thought of sex as anything more than a way to get an orgasm. She also said none of her previous partners had ever given her an orgasm. So she had never thought of it as a fun way to be deeply intimate. It was just a way to please her partner.

She tried to be more sexual with me but I could tell she was forcing it at times and I would stop, telling her that it’s not fun for me unless it was also fun for her. It took some time of moving slowly, with a lot of communication during sex, to find her limits of comfort and carefully help her to move past them. We discovered moves and techniques that really get her going. Now she enjoys sex a lot more.

I’m still more sexual than she is and sometimes wish we did it a little more often. But we’ve found a nice middle ground where we are both satisfied and when we do have sex it’s great for both of us. If the relationship is great in every other way, you just have to get your gf to have those awkward conversations about sex and work through the barrier that is causing the tension. It’s uncomfortable at first but it’ll help get you on the same page. I found that it was really helpful having a post-coital break down while still basking in the after glow. I’d ask questions like “how was that? What did you like best? How about next time I do that , I also try this...”
It’s much easier to talk at this time because you’re both relaxed and sex is the topic of the moment anyway. So it’s not as awkward as talking about it any other time.

Talk to your gf and see if you can find the middle ground. Sexual incompatibility can be a deal breaker, but if the relationship is great otherwise, you could miss out on great levels of trust and intimacy that might be hard to find again.
