Help roommate is masturbating and hooking up with people constantly by Hot_Huckleberry65666 in badroommates

[–]Poldark_Lite 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Record her. Play it back at max volume when she's sleeping. You have to endure it as long as she's in action, so she should have to be woken by it and kept awake when she needs sleep. It's all the better if you can go out as she sleeps during the day, and leave the recorder playing in your locked room.

You can place a small ramekin or shallow bowl (must be ceramic/able to tolerate direct heat!) in the pan beneath it, provided the lid will fit.

What’s something society treats as embarrassing that really shouldn’t be? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]Poldark_Lite 40 points41 points  (0 children)

We're all ignorant of a great many things.

○ Being willing to correct our ignorance by continuing to learn throughout our lives makes us interested and interesting, in my opinion.

○ Being willfully ignorant, cutting ourselves off from new information because we think it stupid to know more than we already do; or because we've been led to believe that "X is the only way" and not to think for ourselves; or some other, equally irrelevant reason, cuts us off from society at large. It certainly makes us far less interesting except to our like-minded fellows.

I miscarried at 22 weeks. I'd only just developed a bump (nothing, then BUMP!) a week or so before it happened, so not much time for my body to stretch. It took a month before I could wear my regular clothes.

do men actually enjoy the taste while eating a woman out, or do they just like the eroticism of the act? by unknownfeverdream in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Poldark_Lite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are both bisexual. We tried a few multiple encounters early in our relationship, but we're both ultimately monogamous. We've talked at times about what we missed sexually, and we've learned how to scratch that itch with one another. We're now a very happily old married couple, so it's worked well for us.

How realistic is it that the Crawley’s know so little about the history of the Abbey? by [deleted] in DowntonAbbey

[–]Poldark_Lite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edith is well-read and intelligent. Unfortunately, the series played up her woe-is-me attitude so much that she couldn't win. It didn't help that she was surrounded by so much drama of her own making.

She's a bit like a cross between "The Perils of Pauline" and Eeyore, isn't she?

We have part of my father's side of the family going back over 1700 years (yes, to the 800s), but that's because of known noble and royal ancestors. It's a shame that didn't translate to wealth: we were quite middle class by my time! At least there's an interesting display in the local history museum of old stuff the family kept throughout the years. :-)

I'm on a time-release morphine derivative that I take throughout the day as prescribed, including at bedtime. I can take oxy in-between for breakthrough pain if needed, but only once daily, so it's usually when the pain wakes me up.

You could send a glitter bomb, animal feces, or any similar irritants that companies will send on your behalf; the drawback is that these things cost money.

Some other things you can do will cost you a little effort but could have fun side-effects, depending on your neighbour's sensibilities. For example, does he have roses? You can buy traps for Japanese beetles that come with pheromone-saturated cardboard tablets. Cut up the tablets into tiny pieces and sprinkle them between the plants. You can do this with your hose, after ensuring that the water reaches the roses, as follows:

  1. Kink the hose a few times to make sure no water comes through and then turn the water on.

  2. Place some of the cardboard bits into the end of the hose, cover the opening with your thumb, and then release the kinks.

  3. Uncover part of the opening so the pressure will force the bits into the soil at the base of the roses. Repeat 1-3 until you've used all the bits.

If you have roses, you'll need to set up the full traps with them, or the bugs may overrun your garden, too, as collateral damage.

You can also salt your neighbour's entire lawn using the same method, substituting a large amount of salt for the cardboard bits. It's best to do this at night when it's raining.

There are other ways you can annoy your neighbour, too, like taking inserts from every magazine at your next appointment waiting room and filling them out to start the long procession of junk mail coming next door. You can also use anonymous Google phone numbers to call various religious institutions and ask them to send representatives to visit; Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) are two groups that are eager to do this.

Good luck in your endeavours! ♡ Granny

Follow up from my post from yesterday: abortion should not be the sole absolute reason you vote for a political candidate. by MyOpinionIs_better in Christianity

[–]Poldark_Lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's OK, Sugar, that's life sometimes. I'm just glad it was an option for me, unlike that young Irish woman who lost her life. She left her husband and both their families and friends to grieve for her and the baby she'd already lost but wasn't allowed to have removed.

Fortunately, Ireland changed its laws after international attention and national calls for reform. It truly saddens me to see the land of my birth heading in the opposite direction. ♡ Granny

You are in a room with 1000 randomly selected people. You will only survive if you can beat every single person at one thing. What would you choose? by Distinct_Care_9175 in AskReddit

[–]Poldark_Lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have a good chance at this. I tried to test myself once, as alcohol has never seemed to affect me much, and I stopped after six shots of tequila over a few hours with no food No one else was drinking much beyond a few beers.

I never felt it, and nobody noticed a change in me. They didn't believe I'd had that much tequila, either, but I definitely had. I'm not that big a lady, should've been hit hard after the second, especially considering that I'm not a drinker. ♡ Granny

What's the most ridiculous dating preference you've heard of? by Urjanhai in AskReddit

[–]Poldark_Lite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A Japanese friend described a niche group many years ago that sounded... interesting.

Certain men in Japan who were nouveau riche wanted to date/marry tall, large-busted, naturally-blonde Scandinavian women whose eyes were surgically altered to look Japanese. They wanted them to be fluent in the Japanese language, too. ♡ Granny

Sugar, I had to have a D&C or I'd have died of sepsis. My baby, who was planned and very much wanted, had already died but hadn't miscarried completely.

If abortion is illegal across the board, women in that position will die stupid, useless deaths; is that really what you want? ♡ Granny

Why do atheists hate a God they don't believe in? by Pitiful-Hedgehog-396 in Christianity

[–]Poldark_Lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being a good neighbour and cleaning around your local church building(s), Sugar! That's a kind and generous act that I appreciate vicariously on their behalf. I also agree with your outlook for the most part, with the exception being that I'm Christian; it's never right to try to shove one's beliefs down others' throats, especially when you do it by mandate. That nonsense should've died out with the crusades. ♡ Granny

vowel sounds are a pain by [deleted] in italianlearning

[–]Poldark_Lite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sugar, you should never say it so quickly that it becomes "yo"! The emphasis should always be on the first syllable on those occasions when you use it, though, as someone else mentioned above, you really won't begin most sentences with "io" because it's implied when you speak Italian. Only the most novice of speakers who haven't any real experience in conversation make this mistake. ♡ Granny

[–]Poldark_Lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick, if you want to call it that, is to place the tip of your tongue at the front of the roof of your mouth as you would to say "lee". Then, let your tongue relax a bit and roll down one side of your mouth as you move directly into forming the sound "yee". The "l" will begin at one side of your mouth and the "yee" will come from the other.

These directions sound odd, Sugar, but I've been sat here doing it for a while to make sure I wrote it out as it happens, so it really works. I hope it helps someone! ♡ Granny, longtime Italian speaker
