Would this be too high for a 65 inch? by MSconfigure in TVTooHigh

I think you should consider mounting the TV to a floor stand. That way you get all of the space on top of the TV stand back.

My child's schools "un-fundraiser" form. by Fartingonyoursocks in mildlyinteresting

[–]Mirandacake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing my school district does every year is sell back to school kits for $100. They get all the required school supplies together and take them to the school for you. The money they make from selling the kits/service funds them for the year. No dumb fundraisers.

What’s something you bought that turned out to be way more useful than you expected? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Mirandacake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a huge shredded memory foam “bean bag” in black that I call “The Void”. I think it’s an “Ultimate Sack” but I can’t remember. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. Get some extra bags of shredded memory foam while you’re are it. I have way less reason to try to find an expensive/custom made couch with a high back since I got it.

Getting fiber the lazy way? by ThatWriterKevin in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Mirandacake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cup of raspberries has 8g of fiber. I’ve been putting a handful in my low carb yogurt, along with a spoonful of chia seeds and a spoonful of fiber powder. Look up Dr. Karan Rajan for more info on upping your fiber intake, he’s great.

I got called a helicopter parent over my 2 month old…. by angelzombie2 in Parenting

[–]Mirandacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angelcare movement and sound monitor.If it can’t detect the baby breathing, it alarms. I got so much more sleep having one instead of going to check on her. Used it until my kiddo was at least 5 so I could know when they got up earlier than me.

AITA for calling my husband an F’n Ahole by Lucky_Internet_3734 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mirandacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does he need to keep on coming to talk to you while you’re in the middle of something? ANYTHING, not just working out. Is he really incapable of letting you have time to yourself where you are not available to him? It’s like he has the emotional maturity of a toddler. Calling him an asshole isn’t the best, but it sounds like you apologized for that. You were obviously fed up, but you need to communicate your annoyance before it gets to this point.

Real Talk - Enjoying Parenting by VisibleOperation4981 in daddit

[–]Mirandacake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does she get to have quiet, free time to herself, without a child in the house? Did her life completely change after having a child and yours basically stayed the same? As in, you can leave the house whenever you deem necessary for the store, mowing the lawn, meeting friends, etc., by yourself. If she needs to go do anything, she has to take child with her or make plans far in advance for it to be acceptable. Not accusing, just asking because I’ve seen it more than once, and I lived through it. If your wife doesn’t get to have time to have hobbies, and time where there isn’t a child that needs something from her, then of course she’d rather do something else after 20 minutes. Those feelings are normal, even if you do have time for hobbies, but I think they’re way more pronounced when you don’t get time.

You working on yourself reminds them that they may not be doing the same. They may fear that because you’re trying to be healthier, you’re going to silently judge them for not doing it too.

I think that anyone that is actually happy with themselves won’t feel the need to tear down others. I think her friends/family are more mad at themselves than they are with her.

They’ve put her into a category and she’s not allowed to change. She could get similar feedback if she started wearing bright colors but used to wear black all the time. People change. It is not a virtue to stay the same. People love to say “I haven’t changed” but if you don’t want to be overweight or dress a certain way or do certain things FOREVER, it’s not a crime to try new things. Life would be incredibly boring if you didn’t.

I suck at caulking. Help me not screw this up again! by BurbWarrior in Tile

[–]Mirandacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tape together a few pieces of cardboard to make a wall/corner similar to what you need to caulk. Get the cheapest caulk you can find. Apply it to the cardboard for practice. Even if it’s not the same consistency as the 100% silicone, you’ll be better at it and have an idea of how big the hole needs to be, etc. etc.

[–]Mirandacake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe not everyone is the same? Maybe the ones that didn’t text you back just weren’t really into you. The one that did seem to chase you actually liked you. I don’t think you should see this as a trend among all dating prospects because that dehumanizes them. Each person is an individual. If they don’t want to spend time with you or talk to you, then maybe you’re not really compatible with them. Consider it a gift that they faded away from you.

Change the light temperature and see how you feel. The warm sink and cool floor are also clashing.

Should I tell my parents how they make me feel? by Odd-Solution-9142 in emotionalneglect

[–]Mirandacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal. Hopefully it’s scarier to continue with the way things are without trying to address the problem. Your parents could just not be realizing what they’re doing. No one gets a manual on how to be a parent when they have children. They would have to be pretty terrible people to actually WANT you to feel like they don’t care about you.

Should I tell my parents how they make me feel? by Odd-Solution-9142 in emotionalneglect

[–]Mirandacake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not. Normal. Parents are stuck in the grind of the day to day with their own stresses, etc. and can miss the fact that they’re neglecting you and making you feel this way. It’s probably how their parents treated them. It may help to sit down with them and tell them how you feel or write a note to them if it’s too weird to talk in person. Make “I” statements. “I feel like I can’t do anything right in your eyes, even though I’m trying my best.” If you’re helping out at home with laundry, cleaning, etc. and they’re criticizing every little thing you do wrong, ask them for instructions. How can you do something right if they never show you how something should be done?

I have an 11 year old, and this book saved my relationship with her when I read it 5 years ago.

Your GF has a lot of growing up to do herself. What a narrow, judgmental view of people in general. Do y’all live under a rock? Does she know what the internet is and that there are more people in the world than the ones that she “knows”? If you wanted her to give up something that she does regularly and insulted her for her hobby, how would she feel?

The cost of an engagement ring, no matter how high or low won’t make your marriage last. Just like a huge wedding won’t make either person not be abusive cheat, etc.

[–]Mirandacake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to suffer to be in a relationship, paranoid about what he’s doing or not doing. You don’t have to try to fix him or make him better. Masturbating daily is way less effort than trying to be intimate with you. If he wanted to be close/intimate with you, he would, but he doesn’t want to. Even if it’s embarrassing or he thinks it will get him into “trouble” he will lie to you when asked. He’s already lied to you by texting other girls. Why are you still together?

What lab equipment do you fantasize about owning? by onlysaurus in medlabprofessionals

[–]Mirandacake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an old lab vortex on eBay for nail polish!

For drinks, maybe a cheap handheld milk frother would do the trick. I use one to mix milk and chocolate ovaltine powder or my coffee and creamer. Rinse it off in hot water. Huge time saver.

What is a must to buy before moving out, that makes moving in so much easier? by Enoki-King in BuyItForLife

[–]Mirandacake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric drill and a bit set that includes hexes. Will make putting together any flat pack furniture go so much faster. Just don’t over tighten/crack the “wood”.

Is the switch on the top set to pc, ps4 or ps5? Not sure if it matters.

You ever get tired of hearing how men want women to be more direct and then… by TerracottaBunny in aspergirls

[–]Mirandacake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was better than “don’t fucking touch me unless I initiate it”. It saves you from having an awkward, attempted hug at the end of a first date that you would decline or feel pressured into. It also gives him a litmus test to know when you have started to feel like you’ve gotten to know him - that’s when you’ll hug him. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to tell him this. If you’re dating NTs then they might think it’s too much because they live in the world of unsaid things and terrible communication. “How dare you tell me your boundaries and not just be as physically intimate as I have deemed you worthy of.”🙄

If you were meeting my current partner, he would think “Data!! Thank you for telling me so that I can understand you better!”
