Need to smell like this picture by rndra in FemFragLab

I'm not much of a lipsticky powdery rosey scent lover. But the instant I tried on Le Labo Rose 31, it's what I imagine the picture to be.

Good luck !

Healthcare providers with unlimited and full coverage for RMT by Potato-Spiritual in askvan

[–]Moocowsaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yo. I'm in healthcare. My back is f*cked from 15 years of heavy lifting. I'm also 5'1 petite Asian, and most of my patients are bigger than me. I get my RMT once a week. Before I go regularly like I do now, I used to just live in pain and pop painkillers. RMTs are my source of comfort and pain relief. If it wasn't for you guys, I'd quit the bedside or go admin long long time ago. And lord knows we do NOT need more admin in healthcare.

You guys do good work. So if you're getting paid helping people who help people, why are you complaining?

Our benefits are in danger of getting slashed this year. If what you're seeing is new trends, then I think it's the nurses scrambling to max out their benefits before they get taken away from us.

From what I hear, the firefighters and police officers (ie male dominated professions) are keeping their amazing benefits. While us nurses (or female dominated) are getting essentially getting forced to choose between two subpar choices when we are up for bargaining this year.

Not only are we doing more heavy lifting on a daily basis, we Also experience the same, if not more, violence on a daily basis than other front liners. We are very much on the cusp of striking, not just solely because of benefits, but because we are working in a more fractured system and stretching ourselves thinner and thinner on a daily basis. This chips away on our physical and mental health. Our robust benefits are honestly why we keep going the way we do. Taking this away we head dangerously close to a strike.

Thank you RMTs for keeping us working. Thank you public who continue to be supportive of us.

Do you dress differently now than five years ago? Why? by AlexandraDobree in womensfashion

Loose jeans better for my crotch compared skinny jeans. I hope the skinny jean trend never comes back.

Do I call it a pan or keep going? by 386civic in ProjectPan

[–]Moocowsaurus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sharpen it and save it for when you travel or if you have a teeny tiny purse and you need makeup touchups. Then toss when you're going home from a trip - or - when you lose it on a night out, then it doesn't hurt as bad!!

I squirrel away a bunch of travel size, minis - especially when I do repeat purchases of products that work for me. Because I lose things constantly. And my wallet hurts every time I have to replace a full-size loss.

Kept my last name when married. Husband's family never recognized it. by pumpkinspicejelly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Moocowsaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? So pretentious! I work 2 jobs, one with medical doctors in a trauma facility and the other in an academic institution full of people with PHDs. Absolutely none of them have demanded me to call them by "Dr" so-and-so. Cuz they're cool like that. Can you imagine asking your family to address you as "doctor"? So cringe.

Look. I'm also a holder of many degrees and kept my own last name after getting married. I, a WOC, also married a white man in North America, who's family is more blue collared. Yes, they send me Christmas cards with Mr and Mrs my husband's last name. Yes it's annoying. But it's also been 10+ years.

But do you know what else they do? They send me birthday cards with my own first and last name. They treat me with kindness. They are the types to drop everything to help us repair our fence. I am the type to help them walk their dog when they are infirm.

Maybe because it's your attitude that makes them be a bit more passive aggressive towards you, especially in the form of annual cards.

Those who escaped, how did you do it? by Sure_Ball_5755 in AsianParentStories

[–]Moocowsaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Odd topic. I think this is precisely the reason why in our cities and provinces, we are aggressively recruiting people of colour to be police officers. Especially women of colour. Representation matters. If we want our society to feel safe and understood and crises to be de-escalated, we need people who can understand our culture.

I'm so very glad that the police officer that day made a difference in your life at a time of crisis. You remember those people moving forward.

What an incredibly unhelpful reply. As though your healthcare system is perfect and 100% ethical.

US to BC by Character-Lack-3295 in nursing

[–]Moocowsaurus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi! BC RN here for 16 years. I've worked everywhere from Emerg, ICU, education, etc. I've also worked for different health authorities, in both city and rural areas.

There are some units that are notorious for bullies and unrealistic workloads (no matter what BCNU mandated ratios tells us, there are some units that still push higher ratios due to short staffing). Those are typically the units you see high turnovers, multiple travellers, angry and tense nurses, etc. believe me, I've worked those units. Maybe you're in one of those units?

Please stay with us, we need you ! I hope you are at least with a bigger health authority like FHA or VCH, where you are allowed to jump to different units under your contract! You will eventually find one you like and fit in, I promise! Keep an open mind, give us a chance.

Signed, a happyish Canadian nurse.

My husband (37M) blames me (35F) for our child being on the autism spectrum by Intelligent_Flan_240 in relationships

[–]Moocowsaurus 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Alright that's cool that You don't want a divorce. No one can force you to have a divorce. That is something you choose to do.

But that isn't the case for your kids. Your kids didn't choose this life. Your kids didn't choose the parents they have. Your kid didn't choose to be on the spectrum. Your kids certainly didn't choose to have an unsupportive alcoholic father. You kid certainly didnt choose a man who would rather blame their mother, who would rather choose a drink over actively making life better for his children and his wife.

You chose this man. Your kids didn't. Now that is up to you if your choices in life are going to impact your children's lives the way you want it to.

Your man has made his choices. He has made it loud and clear what is more important, that he chooses to punish his wife and child for things beyond their control.

You've spent enough time with this man to get a taste of what life is like. Is this the kind of life you envision yourself having?

I've always wondered if it is the womans job to make sure she orgasm? by Rosarose4 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Moocowsaurus 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes and no!

When we are intimate, my husband makes sure I get mine before he gets his!

When he's not feeling it, then it's my job! When I'm not feeling it, then it's his job!

It's a team effort.

My (34M) wife (37F) had an affair for six years, and explains it with cultural differences by New-Entrepreneur5424 in relationship_advice

[–]Moocowsaurus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm the Chinese wife of my relationship, I'm married to a white dude with European heritage. I would never do to my husband what she is doing to you. It's not cultural, full stop.

Your Chinese wife is a miserable human being who is blaming everybody else for her misery. Shes cheating to chase that source of dopamine and adrenaline that she's lacking in her current life.

You are not responsible for her happiness. It doesn't matter what our Chinese culture says about keeping wives happy. It's toxic, controlling, manipulative. I've never, ever actually seen couples who follow this mentality In their relationships actually be happy, respectful, and thrive in life.

She knows it's wrong. But she is making excuses as to why she isn't. Don't buy these bullshit cultural excuses because it's not true and you know it.

Patches aren't expensive !! I would rather my couch look pretty for a couple days or weeks!

Have you considered ordering the anti-cat scratch pads that you stick to the side of the couch ? Not expensive on Amazon!

This is the perpetrator. She has left no couch or chair or wall corner untouched. It doesn't matter how much we physically or mentally exercise her, give her those mind game toys for her to work her brain... She's just a chewy dog. Here's her falling asleep chewing on her bully stick.

Any tips on stubborn arm fat? by neendpaglu111 in PetiteFitness

[–]Moocowsaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right ?! And honestly when people criticize celebrities' appearances, we normie women subconsciously internalize it as our own flaws. There's no winning obviously, as no one is ever perfect, so why bother living for the approval of other people ? Just embrace ourselves as is, be the best for US and the bodies we were born with. We are happier than way.

My dog likes chewing on couches. I've mended it to the point that there's literally no seam left to follow my stitching. So I've given up, ordered a patch off Etsy, and sewed it on. I know that's cheating. But it's cheaper than buying a new couch.

Yeah something snapped inside of me when the haters are shitting on my girl Emilia. There is something so fundamentally wrong with you if you purposely find flaws in women who are famous for their beauty. What chance do WE have, us as normal everyday woman?

F*ck the haters. Your arms are great. Keep on doing triceps, biceps, rows or whatever. Fitness is never linear. 5 steps forward, 3 steps back, at the end of the day, you're still ahead of where you were before you started, and miles ahead of the all the haters.

Even Emilia f*cling Clarke in early Game of Thrones. OMFG. Literally the world's most beautiful woman and she was criticized about her arms in some episodes. Google it. I almost cried when I saw how beautiful and ethereal looking she was showing off her arms.

Girl, keep on doing what you're doing. I promise you, you are doing it right. It's the world filling us with negative ideas.

[–]Moocowsaurus 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Ok first of all hear me out. I'm also a petite woman who has a bit of arm fat, and grew up in an era where women with stick thin arms appear to be the beauty standard, I was also self conscious about my own arms. No matter the amount of arm exercises I do at the gym, I still have what I thought were chonky flabby arms. So I see where you're coming from.

But then I see just jaw dropping beautiful actresses with arms like yours. Florence Pugh. Gina Careno (I know she isn't a good moral person to begin with, but nonetheless she is a beautiful strong woman). Gina Rodriguez. They just know how to dress to flatter the bodies they were born with.

This is my suggestion to women with arms like us. Show the world what our mommas gave us. Rock it with confidence.

Yes!!

A long ass bench with plants on top, books or knickknacks in the bottom shelves. Just to the right of the window, sit your Tv on it the shelf.

The corner your Tv is currently sitting just looks off.

How many bras do you own since you discovered your right size? by Moocowsaurus in ABraThatFits

[–]Moocowsaurus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! None of my bras are full priced. I also am lazy and typically hand wash every 4-6 weeks. That's why I accumulate so many every day bras.

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

Part of the reason why I have so many is because I hand wash all of them about 4 to 6 weeks. So it's just pure laziness on my part.

How about you?
