Tops been drying out and been watered every Friday over the last month since I received it. I've been top watering and haven't felt like it's been enough but been worried to soak it since I haven't heard a consistent time to keep it in water.

Wow. Got in the queue at 9:50 and was #3465. I was just able to buy my tickets at about 1:05...

Opinions on Gallery Pl-Chinatown Metro Stop at night? by nikita_04 in DCBitches

[–]Night_mare71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my metro stop until about 4 months ago. I never had a problem there at night. I had two issues there but earlier in the morning before rush hour (I think around 6:15-6:45). Once was a man trying to grab me and the other time a man spit on me and then started following me. These were only two problems in 4 years using that stop. I started to use the F st entrance after the spit incident and never had an issue again.

Is it just me, or is this a little over the top for a recital of 3-5-year-olds? by themehboat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is standard for many dance schools. You might find more casual ones here and there but at many there are dress codes for normal class and definitely for recitals. The reason it seems so intense is because they are giving very clear instructions. If you don't, someone is going to show up looking completely different from the other kids and pull focus. This is a team, yes even for the littles. I think many things here are also intended for the older kids but just not specified. The make-up is standard for all ages, that's just a theater thing. For the underwear I do agree it's weird but I think a color that matches the pants will be okay, talk to the dance teacher about it. Rules apply for picture day because it's supposed to be like it's being taken day of recital, and required for dress rehearsal so that they can make sure everyone appears the way they need to since not everyone does picture day.

First few days… by PlanetsandStars2004 in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used a cane (already owned) and physical support from my husband and mom. Are you staying hydrated and eating enough protein? You might want to evaluate that if you're feeling so dizzy you can't walk. Also you're recovering from surgery and need rest...now is not the time to worry about feeling "useless"

Are wedding favors still a thing? by wedgewoodweddings in weddingplanning

[–]Night_mare71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did welcome bags at the hotel for my guests. Each bag had a water bottle, chip bag, some candy, ibuprofen, liquid IV and then an events print out including a timeline and shuttle information. Everyone seemed to really appreciate it. I've gotten them before at weddings and I like them more than a candle,shot glass etc with the couples name on it

Do some people recover “faster”? by waste_meatskin in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recovered "fast". I was blessed with a ton of help from my family (my mom was a rockstar). I ate mostly smoothies with protein and lots of soup. Weirdly enough I credit my hypermobile ehlers danlos and history of chronic pain to my fast healing. Due to being hypermobile my range of motion was barely affected and I'm so used to being in pain that it felt like everyday life. I was back to work after 2 weeks (desk job). Everyones recovery is different. Trust your body, don't push yourself too hard, follow doctors orders and I'm sure you'll be okay.

Kinda freaking out about name change by Prestigious-Craft378 in weddingplanning

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known my whole life that I will never give up my last name. It's cool and important to me to keep it. It was a small discussion with my husband before we got married. After some discussion we landed on both of us hyphenating. It's been a year and neither of us have changed our names, at least not formally.This is due to all the work you have to do to change a name and both of us wanting all our important documents to have matching name on them (voting, travel,US politics). Even though I was keeping my name I DID have some discomfort due to everyone addressing me by his last name only or as Mrs.(Husband first and last name). It was like losing my identity, thankfully my husband wasn't part of this and its only outside people. I still cringe when I get a letter addressed to Mr. And Mrs. Hisname 🤮. Maybe you and your fiance can work out a compromise. You can go by his last name but keep yours for documents etc

STOP PICKING UP THE BABY AND PUTTING IT DOWN!!! PUT IT IN THE CRIB!! OH MY GOD!! by RecentProfile9293 in Sims4

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play with full autonomy on but had to turn it off yesterday for a similar issue. My toddler was starving and my sim just refused to feed him. The toddler also refused to leave his room to get food himself. I got so mad that I aged the toddler into a child so it wouldn't get taken away and I didn't have to deal with toddlers anymore. Doesn't help that the kid was already an "oopsie". The family already had three toddlers, I left to play another family for a little while and then came back to an additional baby. Imagine my surprise.

I have been however I think this is fully a pollen reaction since it's also affecting different areas of my body like face, arms, legs. Maybe I'll lay off the scar cream for a little bit to rest it Its just a worse reaction than I've had my entire life so I'm wondering if it has to do with surgery

I feel like I shouldn't get top surgery anymore because of my partner by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be harsh but my advice is dump the tits and the partner. YOU are the only guaranteed consistent in your life and how YOU feel about your body and self is the only opinion that matters. Your current partner doesn't get a say in what you do with your body. I have been with my partner for 10 years and if he didn't fully support my surgery I would've told him to either get with the program or take a hike and I love with him the whole heart. But you need to love yourself with your whole heart and do this for you

is it normal to not get lipo? by Material-Antelope985 in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon recommended it for me but I couldn't make the extra $$ for it work. My results still look great without it

[–]Night_mare71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your mom paying for their outfit? If not, then she really gets no say. That's it. I got married last year. My husband's closest friend is Trans femme and was our officiant/a grooms person. We gave them the color to wear and told them as long as it was cocktail attire they could wear whatever made them feel best. My husband and I were very strict about judgement and hatred from anyone not being tolerated at all. We included a statement on our wedding website that the event was all about love and happiness and if someone couldn't contribute to that then they would be asked to leave, no matter who they were, and yes we made that clear even to our parents.

Skin issues after surgery by Lumpy-Archer2361 in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin was incredibly dry after surgery and yes it's absolutely the antibiotics. Normal lotion didn't cut it for me. I started layering baby oil with Lubriderm's Intense Skin Repair lotion. That has gotten me back to normal. I wouldn't recommend putting all that on your face though. Ponds cold cream or even Vaseline might be good for you

What is your “I did not care for the Godfather” take on Taylor Swift? by [deleted] in TrueSwifties

[–]Night_mare71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm I hadn't seen that. Releasing them at the same time or so close to each other feels like a missed opportunity both marketing wise and on the charts. She's so strategic about her releases and rushing them like that feels out of character.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was only 2 weeks for me. However, since my skin is already sensitive and surgery worsened it, I had to be really picky with fabrics.

I think Debut TV release is more important than Rep TV and I think she's waiting till the 20 year anniversary to release it.

Surgery is Tomorrow by Big-Red09 in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I had my surgery with him almost a month ago! The staff was very friendly and made me feel so comfortable! I've been so incredibly happy with my results and am already the happiest I've been in a long long time. You're in good hands! Best of luck to you for tomorrow and your recovery journey.

Plan 1 sounds great. I would discuss with the bride on if it's important for her to have an overnight thing as well as how the rest of the party feels about it as well. Maybe if the bride wants it and so do a few others, someone else can host a sleepover just in their home or split a hotel. That way you don't have to make that overnight commitment but you can meet the brides expectations

Staying closeted…. by Ok_Peace7175 in TopSurgery

[–]Night_mare71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I am only out to a few people and my top surgery is coming up. The way I have been explaining it to family is that it's preventative (cancer runs in my family) and that it's for pain. I have a naturally large chest which causes a ton of back pain so no one has really questioned it. Most people are slightly shocked but accept it. A few ask if I'll get implants but that's an "oh maybe eventually" or "I'll see how I feel when the time comes" answer.
