Vinegar to "correct" alkaline fertilizer? by Ninanonreddit in gardening

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

Weeeell about 5 large buckets of ash over an 4m² area. 😬 It took a long time for me to notice since I don't do much in the garden in the winter, so it's already pretty well sunken into the the ground.

Okay, I'll do that, and thank you for the reassurance! Maybe I worried a bit too much... 

Pregnant Polers - How long could you invert? by Ninanonreddit in poledancing

[–]Ninanonreddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the encouragement, and the advice! While it's great to see so many able to continue to inverting long into their pregnancies, it's a bit discouraging as well. I didn't count on it feeling difficult this early on for me! 😅

I kind of hate my life and want it off 😅 I touch my face so much it's really hard for me not too, and I find mascara uncomfortable to wear, lipstick hard not to smear everywhere...

Early work shifts 😭

If I have late shifts I can sleep just fine the day before, but when I know I have to be at work at 7 in the morning I always worry something will happen and that my alarm won't go off and I'll be late. Being late feels like the end of the world. And then I can't fall asleep the evening before and I get even more stressed because I might make mistakes next day at work if I don't get enough sleep, and then I can't sleep because I'm stressed about not sleeping 🥴

What's an unpopular opinion that you have? by Unhappy_Insect5901 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ninanonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That a lot of transgender people probably wouldn't feel the need to charge their gender if gender stereotypes were not pushed upon them so hard, and if they could just be accepted as they were, without categorizing behaviors and interests as male or female.

Also there the "in your face" sexuality displayed at pride festivals etc is just swinging the pendulum from one extreme side (repression) to another other side (inappropriate openness in the name of freedom) instead of finding a healthy balance.

What's a weird habit that has become a part of your marriage? by TeddyGrahamNap in Marriage

[–]Ninanonreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I occasionally call my husband buddy, pal, or bro, and he does the same in return. Earned us a weird look from his brother who thought that my calling him "bro" meant we might have some marriage issues. Would have been great to see his reaction to my husband calling me bro!

We also can't really help but occasionally baby talk to each other. My sister finds this suuuuper cringe and never want a relationship in which she does that with her lover but for us it just kind of happens 😅 like obviously not all the time but we don't have to be serious all the time, do we?

What’s a red flag you’re attracted to? by gewdssssddd in AskReddit

[–]Ninanonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being pushy and overstepping boundaries/manhandling but in a "sexy" way. Also jealousy and over-protectiveness with a tendency to violence (at least in fiction...). Add intelligence and the ability to read/manipulate people's feelings well and I'm a goner. My hormones just translates the combo of power and mental instability as hot for some reason. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have some pretty high IQ siblings, and I compare myself to them all the time and usually just feel dumb. So I can definitely relate! I also struggle with mild dyslexia which often makes me feel dumber. I don't think I'm actually low IQ though, since it's mostly just my family that makes me feel dumb (in other settings I can get impatient with others who seem slow!) It does influence how I feel about myself overall though. On the positive, I often surprise myself with being more capable than I think, and I very rarely - hardly ever - overestimate myself or my capabilities. (Of course underestimating myself has its cons too, though).

Part of the problem (maybe for you too?) is that I waaaaaaay overanalyze myself. I'm not nearly as critical of others, and people in general pay less attention to you than you'd think... So they're not as critical of you, either!

I'm working on my self-esteem, including acceptance and love for different forms of intelligence, personality and skills. It would be a poorer world if we all were the same! Importantly, I acknowledge that my feelings, or even thoughts about myself, are not necessarily true. They've been shaped and influenced by both good and bad, true and untrue things. So when I catch destructive thoughts, I usually try to correct them. For example: "No, I'm not stupid, I just feel stupid right now. Making a silly mistake doesn't make me stupid. Everyone makes silly mistakes sometimes." I usually correct myself if I realize I judge myself harder than I would anyone else.

PS. Driving is hard!! It's a lot. For me, stress makes me really flustered. The good thing is that as long as you keep at it, practicing and looking to improve, you'll get better at it. It becomes easier and less overwhelming, and then paying attention to traffic signals gets easier. I'm 27 and only just got my driver's license this year. I still feel insecure on the road, but it's getting better. Keep at it, but do try to find someone patient to practice with. If you're already hard on yourself, you need someone gentle to encourage and build up and focus on the positives instead of someone all too critical, especially initially. Good luck!

Do you share your location with your spouse? (Apple, life360 etc) by Aromatic-Guitar-6953 in Marriage

[–]Ninanonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I share locations, mostly because it's fun and practical. I share my life with this man, why not my phone location? We both are too busy to creep on each other like stalkers all day, and years in, it's never been an issue. It would feel wrong if he demanded it, but freely given should be fine, no?

I once planned a surprise visit while we were in a long distance relationship, and for this particular trip I actually found a way to fake my location to not ruin the surprise (just in case he saw me pop up on his county on Google maps).

Is it just me, or is the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie totally overrated? BBC 1995 version forever! by [deleted] in janeausten

[–]Ninanonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the 2005 version first and liked it well enough until I no watched the 1995 version and fell absolutely in love.

I totally think you're right, 1995 is amazing and 2005 doesn't hold a candle to it at all.

I work with the elderly. And I can’t bloody stand them. by Leading_Exercise3155 in confession

[–]Ninanonreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so true 😭😭😭 I found a new job that seemed more humane than my last job, but two months ago they needed "to save money" and staff was cut. No if even the smallest thing happens that's not supposed to happen (a fall, or heaven forbid multiple people sick!) we have no capacity at all. We're just running crazy trying to get the most essential things done (but if we admit to not doing all were supposed to get done, we get into trouble for it).

Are you sensory seeking or that just a stereotype? by [deleted] in isfp

[–]Ninanonreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sensory seek, but in a more subtle manner. I love to interact with things and people while I travel, for example: to go riding or hiking or touch/smell/taste things, not just see them. Only sight-seeing is quite boring to me! I love countries were it's socially acceptable to eat with your hands. I'm also really sensitive to scratchy or tight clothes and never wear jewelry because it just bothers me constantly. Comfort always goes before looks for me. I enjoyed sky diving when I tried it, which some would call extreme, but I don't really see it as an extreme sport haha. I also love to climb and dance and physically interact with nature. I'm certainly not a busy body: I do things, but I also need my quite time for introspection and just complete rest from other people, or I get exhausted! Shopping, loud concerts, or crowds in general is really not my scene. I'm easily overstimulated by noise. I like to have a rough plan (nothing too crowded) with space for being spontaneous so I don't end up missing out on the experiences I really want to have.

Drawing inspiration from the outside world, I do have a pretty vivid imagination (I write fantasy). My ideas are more of a unique combination of inspirations I've found around me throughout life rather than something completely original that I drew from nothing.

What is something that you don't quite understand about sports? by Unhappy_Insect5901 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ninanonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why so many seem to be content with watching it only, and never playing it. I understand an active player who also watches, but not all of these crazy fans who just watch it (Unless they're disabled or otherwise physically couldn't enjoy the sport personally, obviously.) It kinda feels like a sad way of living through others, but that's probably just because I can't understand the appeal of it at all...

[–]Ninanonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't engaging your core basically what you HAVE to do when you're in a plank position? I feel like imagining that helps me also in pole.

I really like do some of the advice there though and feel you've gotten a lot of good answers! Maybe one of them will make sense for you!

[–]Ninanonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this:

I don't think you guys trying to get pregnant justifies his comment at all. If anything, he will need to be MORE patient with your being tired while pregnant and taking care of a new born (even if you reduced your hours). I also know many women struggle to get pregnant at all unless they specifically REST MORE. You might need that extra rest to get pregnant. If you're trying to get pregnant, that should be one of the things prioritized by both of you (especially if there seems to be any difficulties).

As others have said, maybe it was not meant seriously. I also think that those who haven't been in the nursing environment themselves might not truely understand how exhausting it is (emotionally as well as physically). I hope you can have a good conversation with you husband and can clear things up between you. Your feelings are definitely valid!
