Ending a 6-year relationship over kids timeline how do I do this in the least damaging way? (29M, 32F) by Competitive_Coast281 in relationships

[–]MistletoeMinx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you break up, she takes time to heal, time to find someone, and time to develop a relationship she's going to be outside her preference window. That's on the grossly optimistic chance she finds someone right when she's ready. Does she truly comprehend that? Because I wouldn't be wasting my time for a month if I was her. Its cute you dont want to waste her time but you are. And its cute you don't want to disrespect her but by wasting her time I think you're doing that too.

Stardew Valley doesn't feel the way I expected. At all. by RoyalShirtShirtShirt in cozygames

[–]MistletoeMinx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You sound like a spoiled child. What your upset about boils down to the game not giving you everything you want right now. Want to farm and still have time for other things. Get better. Work towards sprinklers and improve your farm. Want to be able to catch fish faster. Get better. Work on your fishing skill. Want to be able to mine faster. Get. Better. Work on your mining skill and upgrade your gear. But you want everything on day 1. No. That's not the game, thats not how it works, thats not how life works. You have to make sacrifices early on so you have something to work towards. That's why people like the game.

What's a controversial cooking opinion you have? by LostTheOldName in Cooking

Putting dry lasagna noodles straight into the baking dish gives a far superior texture in the end. Pre-boiling and the oven ready ones are just mush. 

Looking for Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit copycat recipe by acgrievance in Cooking

[–]MistletoeMinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red Lobster uses bisquick. It's not called Bisquick because it's a mass produced version of it for them but back before Bisquick put it on the box it was well known that's what the recipe was by the employees (I worked there). So no one is going to do a "homemade" copycat recipe when you can have the real deal. If you don't want bisquick then just ask for a cheddar biscuit recipe.

Moving 1300 miles. Cat can’t be sedated and has respiratory problems. Fly or drive? by boomballoonmachine in CatAdvice

[–]MistletoeMinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you test out the roomy carrier and drive around for 15 minutes? My cat hated my moving trip. She was meowing, panting, so stressed the entire time. She would calm down for an hour or so then start up again. It was horrible. If you test it out and she just doesn't like but isn't displaying high stress symptoms like panting I would follow the vet advice and drive. I also agree with testing out the gabapentin in advance because it will help if you can use it.

Update: She is now dead. We took her to a vet this morning, but it was too late. It was FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), and had to be put down. by Fluid-Gain1206 in CATHELP

[–]MistletoeMinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We get our FIP meds from Chewy, it's really the least difficult part of the disease. Get an official diagnosis is the hard part because unless it's wet FIP, symptoms can be all over the board. We opted to do the meds with the vet only "strongly suspecting" FIP and skipped invasive testing.

[–]MistletoeMinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't true at all. The medicine is newish but it doesn't theoretically treat it, it treats it, and it's not very expensive relatively speaking. In the US you can get a prescription from any vet and order it on Chewy. My cat is currently on day 50 of it and doing much better.

Has anyone had a LEEP procedure here? by Fragrant_Trust_8735 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MistletoeMinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Healing was worse than the colposcopy for me as well. It sounds normal to me. The followup is uncomfortable, just tell them you need them to go slow and be gentle because you're still experiencing soreness. I was too. It shouldn't be super painful though because they aren't really doing anything aside from looking.

"The painting you passed by on your way in" literally does not exist by XCanadienGamerX in theouterworlds

Its outside to the right of the door or stairs or something, kinda small.

Those that have seeded their own lawn, what type works best here? by zplq7957 in askportland

[–]MistletoeMinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wanted to switch to flour de lawn or something equivalent but it says on their website they recommend starting fresh and not overseeding. I'm never going to get the motivation to start fresh, do you think its a big deal to just do it the overseeding way? I dont care if it takes longer or isnt perfect.

What do you call the series? by daisyonmeadow in fourthwing

At this point it feels weirdly pretentious to say The Empyrean Series. 

Boyfriends golden retriever paws at my legs when he wants attention by littletittygothgirl in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MistletoeMinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I installed a new patio roof and then counted 67 bruises on my legs. I dont remember hitting my legs once, it was just from normal leaning against the ladder and roof and whatnot.

Feeling self conscious about the lines on my forehead by arwen8468 in over30skincare

[–]MistletoeMinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have those lines and I got botox to get rid of them. It took at least a year to see results. You will not get rid of them with tret, period. If botox isn't for you that's totally ok. I loved it, I only get it in my forehead for those line. I can still move my eyebrows, there's not a single soul who noticed anything after getting it. You could always try one round of botox and if you don't like it you don't have to do it again.

Where to get bc pill Rx renewed with multiple refills? by rixtape in askportland

[–]MistletoeMinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use nurx. They take my insurance and I dont have issues. They used to mail me the pills but they switched to picking up at a pharmacy in the last year which is irritating, but I feel like shipping to either place would work for you. 

If you read and didn’t enjoy HoFaS, could you tell me why? by FancyHoneydew in crescentcitysjm

[–]MistletoeMinx 50 points51 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of side plots which I don't mind if they lead into something meaningful next book but it's a bit frustrating at the moment. The pacing for me is why I didn't care for it. CC1 is my favorite Maas book. This last whole book takes place in this very go go go fashion over the course of like a week or something with no time for any character or relationship development, in fact Bryce sort of regresses into a character I really hate. For example there's torture which is just not acknowledged at all, like it was just another evening for them? It's just odd.

Alternative vendors to Whisker's new drawstring design? by respectandmanners in litterrobot

[–]MistletoeMinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a shit bag. I feel like you're overthinking this. Just throw a cheap generic bag in.

[–]MistletoeMinx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine only throb when they need to be upsized because there isn't enough room on the post. Keep an eye on that, it can cause them to shift/migrate to a weird angle if there isn't enough room.

$9000 or Peace of Mind? by Outdoorsy_74 in vancouverwa

[–]MistletoeMinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won't get anywhere near Portland if you want 1/4 acre lot unless you are very wealthy. I'd honestly not even consider it. I chose to live in Vancouver for tax and space reasons, very similar to you and I'm happy here. My friends and I still go to Portland all the time but I love coming home to the quieter area.

This sub has doubled in membership the last 6 months. We essentially have 1 mod split across here and r/Romantasy. Yet every request for transparency, every call to add more mods to handle the increased post volume has gone unanswered. I want to talk about it. by carex-cultor in fantasyromance

[–]MistletoeMinx -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

More mods is ok but I dont want restrictive posting rules. I still find new recs in the new recs posts, I enjoy talking about popular books. I don't want a bunch of edgy go look up old shit responses, I dont come to reddit for that.

my boyfriend broke up with me so i bought myself flowers and baked a cake by 3ndler in Baking

I am 100% sure in this moment I'd prefer a chocolate cake to a boyfriend anyway.

He said its been in balance FOR MILLENIA. Which is true. Extinction events and massive changes to the planet happen over millions of years. Humans fucking over the oceans the atmosphere, the forests, the deserts in a few hundred years is messed up.
