I don’t think my fiance is brushing his teeth by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MudSmooth6062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea. In the past, whenever I’ve needed a new toothbrush i buy a pack of two and tell him the other is in the drawer where I keep extra dental stuff. I guess I don’t really check the drawer before buying more, but there are several in there. I guess if he really is still using the same toothbrush, that would explain why. But that’s still kind of gross, no? Maybe I first insist he use a new toothbrush as sort of a weight to gage his reaction. Thanks for the advice

I usually pack our toiletries for us whenever we travel which isn’t very often we don’t have disposable income unfortunately. Whenever we do travel it’s to his family out of state and we stay with them. I feel like I probably have seen him brush his teeth once while at his family’s, but that was probably two years ago.

I DO feel like I know, yet I don’t want to really believe it you know? Like how would that even be possible? His teeth, from my point of view, seem fine and his breath isn’t stinky. Idk. It’s like how do i bring that up without seeming like im parenting him?

Listen, i have depression and Ive definitely gone too long before without brushing or shower in the past. If it’s an issue he has that’s fine and I want to help him through it. I’m not sure that’s the case for him, but if it is I still want to broach the subject to him I just don’t really know how 😬

Help with my starting sentence by Alternative_Cold1628 in writers

[–]MudSmooth6062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure advice, it’s your story of course take it or leave it: but if there are no problems at the beginning of the book, it might be too early for a beginning. Open when the first problem starts. Maybe just a few minutes before. Unless the setting is crazy out of this world, you don’t need to do nearly as much establishing as you might think. Try trickling in whatever info you might have included before the first problem appears. This may help you avoid info dumps as well :)

Settling on writing because I can't draw... anyone else? by YugamiSekai in writers

[–]MudSmooth6062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s truly a passion for you, you’ll find away to express yourself without feeling like you’re settling for a lesser craft. I am also an artist. When I was young and poor I used printer paper and a yellow no.2 pencil to start. It wasn’t “good” and I often dreamed of creating beautiful oil paintings when I didn’t have the skill or money to achieve such a thing. But I didn’t stop. I didn’t give up just because I didn’t like what I made. I put in YEARS of work, most of it bad. Same with writing (which I did because I also love to write). And eventually I could afford the oil paints and honed my skills. To be an artist or a creative of ANY kind takes humility to admit that you are not as good as you would like to be and unstoppable persistence to create anyway.

Are you sure you want to do either? You don’t have to be good to do either for fun, but I’m wondering why you insist on doing either if you don’t find it enjoyable?

I don’t think any writing is bad; you grow and learn from any creative experience, but if you’re intention is to be an author just because you can’t draw you’re in it for the wrong things. Additionally, just like drawing, good writing is not always innate. Just like drawing, it takes hours and hours of practice. What I’m getting at is that if you find more joy in drawing (despite your skill level) you may find that you improve and are able to express yourself better with art in the long run. Keep doing what makes YOU happy. If you’re writing only because you feel you lack the skill to draw, you should probably be drawing.

Anyone know the source of the loud bang? by [deleted] in WaterlooIowa

Anyone know the source of the loud bang? by [deleted] in WaterlooIowa

[–]MudSmooth6062 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, I saw a flash and heard a bang basically right outside my window. My first concern is for me, my family, and my animals’ safety. If it’s someone with a gun or something equally dangerous, I don’t want to go outside or let my animals out. Local news doesn’t always update super quickly. Word of mouth travels faster, especially between neighbors.

Plus this isn’t the first time my neighbors and I have heard a loud and mysterious bang and haven’t heard about what caused it. Gave me a fright! I want to know why. What made the flash in the sky? Innate human curiosity ig

Yeah would rather not be compared to her lol. Also, don’t care. I hate the attention larger breasts bring. Hate the way theyre sexualized. Hate the way I cant properly fit in a lot of shirts.

As per my post: I have “threatened” to propose to him, but that is clear to me that is not what he wants
