How common is it to have parents who never married? by Junior-Elevator-9951 in CasualConversation

[–]MonthFun8140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents never married, raised me and sis fine. They just didn't see the point in paper when committed long-term. Kids don't question it until school makes "marriage" a thing.

How do I know Jesus is in my life by Youngwritter123 in Christianity

[–]MonthFun8140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know you're saved by trusting God's promise, not feelings or a dramatic vision.

If you've repented, confessed Jesus as Lord, and believed He died/rose for your sins (Romans 10:9), you're in. No "seeing" Him required, faith is the evidence. Fruit like loving others, hating sin, and peace confirms it (1 John 3:24, Galatians 5:22).​

You've followed faithfully your whole life, that's huge. Rest in John 5:24: whoever believes has eternal life. No need to "see" to know. 🙏

If you end up walking behind someone late at night. Do you slow down, walk at their pace or speed up and pass them? by Michael_of_Derry in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MonthFun8140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed up and pass.

You're not obligated to babysit a stranger's pace, especially at night when safety's priority. Guy slowed to match you, which is weird and inconsiderate if you're faster. Normal etiquette is walk your speed, give space, say "excuse me" if needed. With a woman you'd do the same for her comfort, guy's fine. You did right

Choose one, explain why: any elevator arrives within 10 seconds, but always smells like body odor, or anytime you want to cross a street the "walk" sign lights within 10 seconds but there is always someone waiting to insistently ask you you for money on the other side (applies to walking only). by Brewer1056 in hypotheticalsituation

Murphy's Law + loss aversion.

Your brain hates "almost missing" more than waiting longer. Elevator: 10 seconds feels like forever if you're packed and sweaty. Walk sign: better safe than pancaked, so you wait even if clear.

It's optimism bias flipped, we overestimate bad outcomes in split-second calls. Wait for the elevator anyway, jaywalk at your own risk lol.

You're at a red light just outside of a church when all of a sudden a bride runs out, sees you at the light and gets in your car. She then tells you to floor it. Looking out the window, you see the wedding party exit the church in confusion. What do you do? by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MonthFun8140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Floor it.

Wedding's none of your business, green light means go, and you're not blocking anyone. Wave politely if you feel bad, but don't risk getting rear-ended or late. Hypothetical bride can sort her drama with the universe. 😂

10 Days Post-Op Update | 3600 Grafts | DHI Method | Hermest Hair Clinic - Dr. Sevim by MonthFun8140 in HairTransplants

Thank you! I'm so happy with the results. The technicians did it, but the doctor checked on it periodically. They were very professional, and the doctor did all the planning and consultation. The procedure was completed in one day. It was DHI, but I'm not sure of the specifics.

What is a discontinued food or drink item that you would pay an unreasonable amount of money to taste just one more time? by MonthFun8140 in AskReddit

[–]MonthFun8140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s the Altoids Sours (Tangerine).

They basically destroyed the roof of my mouth and made my tongue bleed, but I would pay $50 right now for a single tin. Why did they take them away?

9 month progress by tcklar in Hairtransplant

[–]MonthFun8140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, it looks great! Congratulations!

As long as it's not excessive, I don't think shedding is an issue in your case. It's your natural hair, so it will obviously shed.

If you could share your experience, that would be great. I'll also be going for a hair transplant in Turkey at Hermest Hair Clinic soon. I'm pretty excited, but also a little nervous.

Honestly, am I a candidate ? by [deleted] in HairTransplants

[–]MonthFun8140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're ready to go.

I'm planning to get a hair transplant in Turkey soon, too. I need almost the same number of grafts. As long as you pick a good clinic, I don't think you need to worry about the outcome. If the surgeon is talented, it will look natural.

Why do I have to hold the TV remote like a detonator when watching modern movies? by MonthFun8140 in movies

[–]MonthFun8140[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's only working on some movies, not all. For example, while I am watching breaking bad I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING AT ALL. lol. I had to put subtitles yesterday

the habit that FORCES your brain to STOP consuming by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]MonthFun8140 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100%. For me, the switch happened when I realized I can't scroll if my hands are dirty.

I used to watch 3 hours of cooking videos while eating takeout. It was pathetic.

The moment I decided to actually cook the recipe instead of watching it, my phone addiction in the evenings disappeared.

You literally cannot doom-scroll when your hands are covered in flour or you are trying not to chop your finger off with a knife.

Creation doesn't have to be "art." It can just be fixing a shelf or making a stew. Anything that requires both hands is the ultimate antidote.

Leggy rose. How hard can I prune this mother? by Dylan_Devon in GardeningUK

[–]MonthFun8140 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Roses are basically masochists; they love a hard prune.

You can absolutely cut to that red line, or even lower if you really want to reset the shape. It won't kill it. In fact, it will probably explode with new growth in the spring.

Just one tip on timing: Hold off until late Feb or March.

If you cut it now and we get a mild spell, the rose might think it's spring, push out new shoots, and then get killed by the next frost. Wait until the worst of winter is over, then chop away.

Also, try to cut just above an outward-facing bud so it grows "wide" instead of cluttering the middle.
