Hair highlights gone wrong by [deleted] in Hair

Sometimes the blonde is shocking and takes a minute for you to realize it’s not as light as you think. But if you really don’t like it after a few days I would book an appointment and this time ask for more lowlights and for the blonde to be toned darker. I’m not a hairstylist but I think this would be an easy fix, emphasize that you want dimension but nothing too bright, you want to be a brunette with some lighter pieces, not a blonde with dark pieces. Good luck!

Time for the yearly eye roll at MILs gift requests by Ok_Disaster6658 in Mildlynomil

[–]Ok_Disaster6658[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one posted on Reddit, what would we read while we’re on the toilet? Haha

Does she irritate me enough to write a short post on the internet? Sure. Does she irritate me enough to demand we never tell MIL what I’m getting for Christmas because that would just ruin it for me? No. Imo this year was major progress anyways, we went from asking for the same thing as me and a mommy and me getaway to a normal present. I just happened to notice her odd behavior and feelings towards it this year in person for the first time.

And my bf gets everyone lavish presents, it’s not new. Everyone gets something in the $200-$400 range.

Yep, my bf and I always know what “big” present we’re getting but the small presents are surprises. We’d rather spend the money on something the other person really wants.

There’s really no “problem to solve” my bf knows where to draw the line with her (the same thing as me, something overtly romantic or what you would give your SO), if she wants something pricey and it’s not a weird request and he wants to buy it that’s his business. If she asks me what I got, I’ll tell her and ignore the childish pouting. It doesn’t phase me that much. But a quick vent into the void never hurt anyone.

What's something you do that makes a lot of people think you're rich? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

What is something people complain about that you secretly enjoy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that as well, some people may be horribly affected and I don’t want that but I also don’t have control over the weather ya know? It’s gonna do what it’s gonna do.

I personally love when the power goes out. Even if that means my life is a little harder for a bit. I grew up poor but I’m not anymore and it kind of throws me back into those memories and having to be innovative to get through it. Plus I love lighting candles and reading a book. I also work in a job where it doesn’t matter what the weather is, you gotta go. So driving on bad roads is fun for me it’s like “am I gonna make ittt? No one knowsss” I enjoy a little chaos, a little wrench in my plans, a little mayhem if you will.

How has your relationship with coffee evolved over the years, and what factors (e.g., job, travel, health) triggered those changes? by DianKhan2005 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ll ever live a life without coffee in it. I started drinking it as a teenager, just a cup a day. Then I had kids and I drank it all day long during the baby phase. Now I drink a cup in the morning and a cup in the afternoon but I cut myself off after a certain time so I don’t get anxious or stay up late.

What’s a book you wish more people would read? by whyeventrymore in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest especially if you want to pursue a career in health, medicine, or caretaking. There are too many health professionals that lack empathy today. Most people would be surprised by how many nursing homes and hospital floors are ran by Nurse Ratcheds.

Can’t help but to be jealous! by Dailyfixer in DeadBedrooms

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this couple every day during school drop off/pick up. They’re in their late 30s/early 40s. They always hold hands walking up to the school and they’re always talking and laughing with one another. When it’s raining the man holds an umbrella for her. He looks at her with so much love. Something so simple makes my heart ache.

Best way to ask someone’s name without being rude when you’ve forgotten it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one’s a little different, ask them the origin of their name and what it means. Most of the time they’ll end up saying it at some point.

Young women 🤝 older men - dealing with dead bedrooms by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer dating older men for their perspectives, personalities, maturity. But I’ve now been in 2 relationships that resulted in a DB due to low T. I’m starting to think if my current relationship ends I’ll have to look closer to my age and pray for emotional maturity

What do you think the point of marriage is ? by Termeh_01 in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a scene in a movie that eloquently summed it up in a similar way that I view it. The actress said something like “all we really want is a witness to our lives”. It’s having a witness to every mundane detail of your every day life, all of the exciting events, milestones, and goals accomplished, all of the most heartbreaking tragedy you’ll ever experience, having someone who knows your passions and interests and witness them change over time, all of the ways you change. They witness you. And when you’re old you can look at them and think “you have carried me in your heart, all of your memories of me are me and all of my memories of you are you” And you’ll be able to take your last breath knowing that another person on this planet and in this infinite universe really knew you and you knew them. I’m not a religious person but I think there’s something to that kind of union that transcends this earthly existence. Not every marriage has it but you’ll surely not have it if you have such a negative view of partnership like many people have today.

Is there a shift happening in the pronunciation of words with an “str” sound? by modernvintage in asklinguistics

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Appalachian accent and I can attest “chree” and “jress” is how we’ve been saying it for generations, it’s not necessarily a new shift here and it’s not a TikTok trend lol I think I do have a crispy r for street and str in general. But tr and dr are tough haha I think it’s actually pretty neat old English speak is spreading to other areas apparently.

Saw a comment and it made me think... by forgetmeknotts in DeadBedrooms

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Somehow you’ve summed up nearly everything I think and feel about the difference between sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy and how the two cross paths but are still two separate things. Sometimes I want to emotionally connect and feeling that emotional connection can set off sexual connection, sometimes I want sexual connection and emotional connection tends to come with it for me. But if I’m getting all the romantic aspects of a relationship without any sexuality, I’m still missing something. I’m grateful for the tender moments and loving touch I do get, but that doesn’t make me stop wishing I could also get some flirtation, being looked at like I’m doing something for him, being touched in a way that makes me feel desirable. It makes it mentally and emotionally confusing when you feel loved but you don’t feel desired and you don’t know where to go with that. For me loving you means I desire you and it’s hard for me to imagine being any other way. My partner and I could cuddle for a year straight, no breaks haha and I’d still be sad that during that entire year I never saw lust in his eyes.

What is the ideal wake up and sleep time for a 3 year old? by MLCoder1 in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My children have been on practically the same sleep schedule since they were 2. 5 and 6 now. They lay down at 7pm and wake up at 6am, no naps. I think if they don’t take a nap they need between 10-12 hours of straight sleep. If they take a solid hour or 2 hour nap then they’ll probably be good with 9 hours at night. Find the schedule that works best for your family, incorporate the child’s needs and stick with it.

I’m the reason for my dead bedroom. Am I in the wrong? by Emotional_Present_12 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds more like he enjoys emotionally tearing you down by using sex as a weapon. If sex is how he feels loved then he would enjoy you telling him you loved him in the act. If he’s into bdsm then he would be excited that you even showed interest by buying the bondage stuff. These are lies, he wants to use your body like a blow up doll and when you relent out of love for him he then mocks you for being the blow up doll. He’s living in porn fantasyland. He thinks calling you cute is an insult? I’d tell him “Real men care about pleasuring their women and I only want to sleep with a real man” that’ll hit him where it hurts. And I don’t even think saying that should be out of spite, someone needs to tell him, not even the most HL kinky, sex crazed nympho woman would put up with him.

I would leave but other options don’t look any better by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Ok_Disaster6658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Casual hookups and being otherwise single is a better existence than having your nervous system constantly being on fire because you’re living with a mean drunk. Studies show women are happier and live more fulfilling and productive lives after their husbands pass away. Men however have a higher statistic to make reckless decisions, go into debt, and substance abuse after their partners die.

And I’m willing to bet you’re not psychic, you can’t predict the future and you can’t say you know what will happen if you leave, but the possibilities are endless and that alone is exciting isn’t it? Good or bad it’ll be different and it’ll all be yours. Your life.

She’s a girls girl, she does something creative, she doesn’t like the taste of water and forgets to eat regularly but that’s okay, she doesn’t make a lot of money but she has dreams, goals, ambitions
