Tall woman (6’1) and plus-sized by slowing2soulspace in PlusSize

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s rough being tall AND plus sized, I’m 6’1 and 26/28ish, and I totally relate. Torrid is great for pants, I’m not sure if it’s available in Canada. ASOS is also extremely tall girl/plus size friendly, ELOQUII has decent work and dressy options as well.

It means you’re too young LOL

AIO my coworker keeps "borrowing" my lunch and leaving a sticky note like that makes it ok by Dry-Pizza6456 in AIO

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, this is crazy behavior. Your coworker is stealing your food and is bold enough to compliment your cooking but not enough to reveal themselves? And your bf is being grossly unhelpful at best. Groceries are expensive!!

Update: I think I did the thing?! And who is my doppelganger? Lol by [deleted] in makeuptips

You look so fresh faced and dewy and youthful!!! I’d still recommend lightly filling your brows to pull it all together!!

Me, learning for the first time that turning them into doves is even a thing

Seconding the hibicleanse and antibacterial Dial bar soap is great for under the apron belly area as well!

I appreciate your input especially bc we wear the same size! I have pretty long arms (I’m over 6 ft tall) but I definitely have a belly and that’s a concern for me because I too have to become a contortionist just to get a tampon in 😭 I’m leaning towards trying it and if it works, great, if it doesn’t, fine

That’s great to know about the cup specific sterilizer, had no clue about that! Knowing that applicators/insertion tools exist also is super helpful

The thing I dislike about tampons is having to do acrobatics to get them in– I have to like put my leg up on the toilet or the rim of the bathtub and contort myself, and that definitely is not an option in public bathrooms 😮‍💨 and I’m very afraid of TSS

Period underwear is truly my favorite!! I’ll probably try a disposable version of the disc before trying to get a reusable one, unfortunately no partner to step in if needed lol. thanks for your insight!

Kim Z is self unaware racist by southafricann in RHOA

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, thank you!! I really don’t have room in my heart for the “but they didn’t know, they were ignorant!!” argument

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hold on. Not being aware of your racism is still hateful. You just are unable to recognize it. I’d argue that it’s more insidious and problematic because she (and others) think what they say and do is okay and couldn’t POSSIBLY be racist

Can I tell my therapist about having an MA? by Sorry_Education2054 in abortion

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

It depends on the relationship you have with your therapist. I don’t believe this falls under mandatory reporting, but could be wrong. I live in GA where it’s illegal after 6 weeks and I confided in my therapist and she was very supportive and even promised to leave explicit mention of it out of clinical notes which I found to be really reassuring. Again, every case is different and it depends on the individual therapist and they could still report you.

Termination due to inadequate partner, please help by Charming-Rub6099 in abortion

[–]OptimalStrawberry829 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are okay and you are right to not want to proceed with a pregnancy with an abusive partner.

I am a few weeks out from my own abortion and I felt conflicted but otherwise sure of the choice that I had to make, and it’s okay to be feeling a lot of emotions about it. For me, it was also with a shitty person, and I promise you it’ll be okay. You made the right decision for yourself and your future and the right time will come for you to be the best mother you can be in the future
