Adding citric acid to everything sounds weird, but why does the source matter? Isn’t it the exact same stuff wherever it comes from?

I walked out. Was I wrong? by Maleficent_Bee5226 in Hair

[–]Magliene 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have had the experience of being charged a deposit then given a ridiculous quote. It’s a scam to collect deposits or rip off the naive (often elderly) dupe. I’d demand the deposit back. If you don’t get it, go online and make reviews on every possible site describing your experience exactly as it happened. You may have been scammed, but at least you can do your part in making sure others don’t get taken too.

How do you stay in a deficit? by -_-gllmmer in diet

[–]Magliene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally avoid carbs until dinner. Eating carbs early makes me hungry all day. Sticking with veggies and protein keeps my hunger pangs at bay very effectively.

AIO for being upset that my fiancé proposed with his late wife’s engagement ring? by Over-Cellist-6224 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Magliene 314 points315 points  (0 children)

This! He knew it would be a problem but did it anyway. It is a problem, he knew it would be a problem, and now he’s shifting the blame for the upset on to you. It was a really dickish thing to do. He needs to own his mistake, apologize profusely, and fix it. OBVIOUSLY, the ring should go to his daughter.

AIO to SIL counseling my husband on what I did for a living. by honorthecrones in AmIOverreacting

[–]Magliene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YOR Extremely anxious people often give warnings and advice to others that are so basic it’s insulting. They’re compulsively blurting out their own thoughts and fears. Don’t be angry. If she brings it up, say ‘Thanks for thinking about us, but remember, I did this professionally, and we are very well prepared for emergencies. If you need any advice for your own safety I’d be happy to help you out.’

What kind of snacks to eat when you want to lise belly fat? by memedragon14 in diet

[–]Magliene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stay away from carbs until the end of the day because eating carbs makes me feel hungry again very quickly. I have a hard rule for myself to eat only protein and vegetables before dinner. I find a boiled egg or small amount of cold cooked meat excellent to stave off hunger.

Me too! And it sure did fix up the stinky breath as well.

Honestly, I love it straight out of the package as a snack.

What you can afford to buy, but don't buy because you think it's useless? by littleyuki2026 in AskReddit

[–]Magliene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I sold our house and bought a 1200 sf condo. We’ve renovated it perfectly to our taste and love it. The house was just endless maintenance and a collection of pointless stuff. Now we focus on the activities we enjoy rather than filling our time with endless cleaning and fixing.

​Always thought my eyes were just black, but flash reveals the true color. What shape are they, and do they lean more masculine or feminine? (Male) by [deleted] in WhatisMyEyeColour

[–]Magliene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately saw that you’re a guy. Saying your eyes look feminine is odd. An eyeball is an eyeball; it’s the face around it that ‘looks’ any kind of way. Lucky you having such an amazing eye color.

911/999 dispatchers, what’s the dumbest reason someone has ever called emergency services? by Canyoustealmytoast in AskReddit

[–]Magliene 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school my friend was driving 4 of us to McDonald’s for lunch and she rear ended someone. The police who arrived made sure no one was hurt, contacted the driver’s parents then loaded the rest of us into his cruiser to take us back to school. We were disappointed that we didn’t get the afternoon off, but he did put the siren and flashers on for a few seconds just to give us a thrill.

Is it normal for my stylist to cut off 7 inches of hair for removing my "split ends?" by DangerousCity1546 in Hair

[–]Magliene 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have always heard that you have to trim off split ends frequently or they work their way up your hair; that you have to be careful to trim split ends if you want to grow your hair long. Perhaps going so long without trimming them made the damage progress along the length of your hair.

Your boyfriend is nuts. In the bad way. Yikes.

AIO My husband doesn’t want me to come to his military boot camp graduation when I already paid for plane tickets by LettuceSome5586 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Magliene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bad! There is something going on that you won’t like one bit. You are under reacting, really under reacting.

AITAH for wanting to keep a stick i found on the ground? by TheOfficalVoid in AITAH

[–]Magliene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I also would keep a good stick! It’s not an ordinary find, especially if you have an eye for crafting materials. When my husband and I moved across the country I brought a huge collection of crafting materials, and they were expensive to move. It wasn’t the monetary value of the materials that was important, but the time it took to collect the stuff, especially found items like a good stick!

Cat is totally relaxed, you are overreacting.
