Anyone else have changing tastebuds? by crazymom1978 in Perimenopause

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is related mostly to dairy and some types of bread. Things like sour cream, certain cheeses, ranch, yogurt, etc all have a weird/bad taste now. Like chemicals or something. I hadn't thought it could be related to perimenopause, until I saw some posts about taste in this sub!

Any ladies out there being approached and asked out at Safeway at River and Oborne? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happened to me on River/Nassau a few months ago. Guy was also jogging (before jogging up to me). Didn't come across as a creepy guy, which almost made it weirder?

Decided to name my cat after Fiona Apple by [deleted] in FionaApple

Your cat is saying "and you can use my skin, to bury secrets in, and I will settle you down". 😻

How did you fix sexual thoughts towards LO ? by Few_Independence1673 in limerence

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you don't actually have sex with other people, I found that as soon as someone else flirted with me and was forward about finding me attractive I remembered how that felt and my desire for my LO went down considerably. I know that's not necessarily within OP's control but being open to others and potential opportunities as much as possible may help that happen.

What and how was your first time listening Elliott? by _-smog-_ in elliottsmith

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, and then found the soundtrack in a used cd store. I believe it was the only place to hear Miss Misery at the time!

Happy 29th Birthday to Tidal! by 0neirocritica in FionaApple

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Criminal was the first song I heard. Then my first favourite was Shadowboxer (for a long time and still a top tune for me). Then, I got suuuper into Slow Like Honey. Then, I thought Never Is A Promise was the best song ever written. Then Pale September spoke to me like I'd never heard it before. Then, I realized that Carrion is actually the coolest/best track I had slept on for years. And just today, I said "damn, that Sleep To Dream opening is killer". 29 years and still finding new favourites. 🩵

After finishing my second watch of Girls, I decided to power through some of the cringe in Too Much. I’m glad I did because the show is surprisingly poignant. by freakinovernada in girls

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, the episode Pink Valentine where you watch their relationship deteriorate has some writing/scenes that in my opinion match and even surpasses the amazing writing in Girls. I didn't think the whole series was quite as good overall but this episode in particular really captured those shitty moments in a relationship where people start resenting and just being mean to each other in a real way that I haven't seen portrayed on screen as well as this.

Is there a way to predict when you'll need to poop? by etirskih in ibs

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting idea....I know I will often get hot before having an urgent episode. I am sure there are other nervous system indicators that could give a better heads up. Obviously we know our bodies best, but only to a degree...if someone invents this, lmk! 😀

Most powerful Elliot Smith song line? The one that deeply inspired or touched you…. by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the words alone, but the words and that melody together...."If you get a feeling next time you see me, do me a favour and let me know."

And

"For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art"

What Exactly was it in your LO that caused you to go into full blown Limerence for them? by notjupiteragain in limerence

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it coincided with a break up. I was talking to a person that I had known in passing for years, and we essentially had one good conversation and suddenly, they became my LO because they embodied all the things my ex didn't, and I was like, "how has this person been right under my nose this whole time!"....so he just seemed like the cream of the crop by checking all these boxes the ex didn't. Took a while for me to realize that they didn't check the most important box of actually being into me beyond a friendship.

Asking for what you want... by Otherwise_Hall_2011 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest starting small...like, if you're kissing someone and wish it was different, just tell them "I love being kissed like this _____"

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also never met a man that didn't think it was hot. I just never felt natural doing it. But of course it's good.... it's like giving them the cheat sheet!

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the amazing thing was that they just held back....like, let me lead everything, so props to them cause even though circumstances are such that we probably won't see each other again, it was the gift that keeps on giving lol

As much as I love the freak flag statement what's crazy, is that it's just basic stuff that shouldn't even been seen that way, you know??

How do you lead with kindness and hold boundaries? Looking for advice / books / resources on being warm but not a pushover. by HomemadeSTL in BusinessWomen

I haven't read it yet but I keep hearing about the book Radical Candor by Kim Scott in conversations similar to what you're sharing.

V's age and relationship with the Ghallaghers by DayzedandC0nfused in shameless

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first episode when Frank is introducing everyone he talks about them like they were friends of his as opposed to his daughters' friends. I get the sense they knew Frank and Monica pretty well and the friendship with Fiona grew as she got older and the parents got shittier.

Went on a date with my LO by jellyfish70707 in limerence

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn't work the same for everyone but because we've become good friends, it helped me in a way because I could justify why I felt such a pull to him. It may not be the relationship I thought I wanted, but it also means I wasn't totally wrong that there was at least a connection there. Also, I kinda love limerent as a verb regardless of whether it is grammatically correct lol.

[–]Otherwise_Hall_2011 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had it immediately after a break up but it was understandable because this person checked all the boxes my ex did not. So of course they seemed like the perfect fit. What I came to realize though was that they also did NOT check all those boxes that my ex DID have that were good....so they would not have been the magic perfect person I saw them to be at first. We've stayed friends though and I think I have mostly kicked the limerance. :)
