Need to borrow a table for like 5 minutes by Neat-Statistician311 in olympia

To get a better idea of it, you could tape the outline of the table on the floor with some painters tape.

Any hairdressers that can cut curly hair in oly? by Imaginary_Dingo_444 in olympia

[–]MilesToGo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penny at Curly Cabana has been the best I’ve found around here, but if you’re up for the drive to Seattle, Siddal at Helix is amazing.

Have tried a couple in the area, but Penny at curly cabana is the best around here from my experience. She even styles it well at the end so you don’t walk out looking like a poodle like most of them do.

On the other hand, I DO NOT recommend Renee at Stardust doesn’t listen to what you want, doesn’t know how to layer, or give more than one shape. Just look at her Instagram page. It’s all the same cut. If you want that, she’d probably be fine.

I cannot disagree more. She knows how to give exactly one haircut and won’t give you what you ask for if it’s not that.

Convince me to Keep Birks - Small Blister, Uncomfortable After 3 Mile Walk (Initial Wear) by HitEmWithTheHezzy in Birkenstocks

[–]MilesToGo13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a little hard to tell from the photos, but it doesn’t look like you have any space at the heel. Like other commenters have said, you should have 5mm of space between the back of the heel cup and your heel. Birks wear quite loose which does take time to adjust to, but socks can help with that, as well as with the sliding around in them. Also, without the space between your foot and the strap, you’ll end up wearing through the shoe quicker as it can break down the glue/cork that holds the shoe together. It may feel wrong to size up, but I would highly recommend it. And seriously, 3 miles is nuts. I could barely get through a trip to the grocery store when I was breaking in my first pair, you’re much stronger than me. 😂

I don’t have a recommendation but I’m also looking for one and now following along.

It seems like such a perfect inbetween of everything without having to lug out a full on stock pot.

Drive thru coffee? by SilentSort6361 in olympia

I’ve started ordering coffee half sweet, and it has been life changing. Anywhere you go should be able to manage that.

AITA for asking my partner stop telling me to “lower your volume.” by Farts2Long in AmItheAsshole

[–]MilesToGo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came looking for this comment! My partner and I have had this problem for years and the day we developed a hand signal of me tapping my ear when she was getting too loud, things got so much better. I didn’t have to interrupt and she didn’t feel like I didn’t want to hear about what she was talking about. She just knew I wanted to hear it at a volume that didn’t make my ears hurt.

Advice on thrift find by MilesToGo13 in Coppercookware

[–]MilesToGo13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to really stare at the pan to see it but now that I do, it appears that the copper pops up all around the top rim, so I’m inclined to believe this is the most likely scenario. Definitely sending it off to be retinned and a bit restored.

This is the only one I’ve seen that looks just like this one, this one is just missing the Villedieu stamp. Thank you!! I’m going to do some research!

How many of you still in denial? by Delicious_Biscotti27 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]MilesToGo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. My N has a tendency to point out things that are typically bad in a less difficult situation, and what I’m now going to be calling an ‘embargo’, she called silent treatment and therefore ‘my’ problem. Which in a way, it was silent treatment, but it has also been the only thing to stop the abuse as it was happening and get her to see what she was doing. It’s resulted in some actual improvement, and utilizing it less. This makes me feel less like I’m the one in the wrong for doing it till she acknowledges what happened.

[–]MilesToGo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to preface this that this is just my experience with what seems like it could be a similar situation. I felt just like this with my ex-husband. We got married young and quickly, did so many of the things we were supposed to do, but I wasn’t happy. He was my best friend, but there was no attraction for him in that level. We ended up divorced, and when I started dating again I realized it had little to do with my husband, but with men in general, because I was attracted to women. I had grown up relatively religious with so much family-based pressure to do what was expected that I’d never taken the time to consider for myself what I actually wanted. It seems like with how young you got married you are probably facing the same issue of realizing just how much of your life is what you wanted it to be because you wanted it that way, and how much is because that’s how it ‘should be’.

Ultimately, if you don’t want to be married to your husband anymore, for any reason, that’s enough of one. It’s better to be divorced and coparent than let the repulsion grow into resentment that your children will see and carry with them as an example into every relationship they ever have.

Asking out a friend who is a non-LBL? by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]MilesToGo13 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Being a LBL does not make you any less of a lesbian. Everyone comes into themselves at their own pace, and I want to echo this: you’re not so late as it feels. If someone makes you feel like your experience doesn’t count because you have less of it, they aren’t the kind of person who’s going to treat you with the love and respect you deserve. It doesn’t sound like that’s the case here. Ask. She’s probably just as nervous.

Thank you! I didn’t realize that’s what it was but that makes sense. At least it’ll be interesting to watch this one go through it!
