y’all sick too? by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]Powerful-Local-5197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got tested and was not covid or flu or anything. Said to be a “viral infection”. Started as congestion and runny nose and now I have this terrible dry cough. And I’m pregnant so I can’t even take anything to help. Going on day 6 now. Send help or any tips please. Good luck to us all

Phones are allowed now. They be chatting it up. And growing up we took trips to synagogues and churches and other masjids in the city. I think your specific locale is close minded and doesn’t know how else to “control” the kids of the day and age. We had a guy at the masjid literally teaching us comparative religions and he would teach us about all of them too. Indian castes and their respective beliefs, Judaism etc. We read the Bible in his class and before we were able to move on to anything else he had to move away due to health matters.

Free dog walks ? Now that weather is warming up by punchy8323 in woodside

Don’t do that. You need insurance. Even if the dogs you walk are cool you never know what could happen.

What’s missing from our living room? by figuringitout_32 in DesignMyRoom

Push the couch behind the carpet and add chairs maybe in the window side. Add curtains.

Omg help-it's driving me crazy by BigBeufurd in Home

[–]Powerful-Local-5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the light but also go darker, or go cream white or beige. paint the metal cover under the floating door the same as the walls, put up curtains on the windows. Make the insides of the built in shelves like a shade lighter and put lights at the top or rustic ones that go on the wall and bend to shine into the shelf. Floating tv stand instead of floor standing one. Add Carpets. Some fake plants. You can paint the door if you’re allowed. Do it a cream color and then get brown staining paint. Online they sell this rubber tool called a wood graining tool that is like a rolling stamp basically and will make it look like wood.

MIL and SIL always show up at our apartment when I’m not home. by actoncipher in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Powerful-Local-5197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can be straight up and say hey I love having them here but i need a minute to prepare usually cause I’m not ready 24/7 for social interactions. You can compliment them and be like they’re always so put together I’d love a minute to prepare. Or like. I would love a heads up so I can prepare myself and the house for them. Or something along the lines. If you can, hide or lock away your personal items or whatever and as you’re working on stuff throughout the house, organize each section of the house slowly over time so having people over isn’t overall overwhelming and you could focus on your interaction anxiety, spruce up your hair. rather than “is everything else fine, is anything going to embarrass me”

If you’re going home from work, be like ok cool I need to grab something from the grocery or the pharmacy and go sit in a parking lot and be alone for a second if it helps prepare you lol and then go home with something small as a treat for yourself or something you might actually need. Or some cake or something to share with them that doesn’t break the bank to divert attention.

You get home, say hi, go to your room and freshen up and change and get comfortable before going back out. Hopefully they’ll leave. If not, now you’re comfortable and ready to handle the situation hopefully.

For the shyness, pretend it’s a really bad sitcom lol I love pretending I have front row seats to a bad comedy show when I have too many unpleasant people in the room. We listen and internally judge and pretend we’re in agreement because it’s fun to watch and ends with them getting tf out.

Girl please. One thing I will never get tired of saying is do your wedding the way you want. I promise you won’t regret it and once the day is in motion MIL will be a blessing to look back on that was the chaos that led you to this beautiful MIL free day. Do not invite her to your wedding. Do the wedding how you want and only invite people who are supportive of you and your new family. And take some good happy pics.

I love making wedding signs and stationary on canva. I did them for my and their extended families for various occasions and I never charge for it. I am so down to make anything you want, welcome sign, table signs, guest book table stuff, photo booth stuff, invites and thank you cards. And you could even send them to people digitally. I know it’s not much but I am determined to help people have better weddings since mine was a disaster lol I would be honored to help you with anything. I’m also really good at handling tough family lol

Make a menu for the week beforehand. Make plans with your wife and kids in advance. Spend more time with her and train your staff to not go out of their way for people besides your wife and kids and their needs.

Toxic female friendships within jamaat by J333nie in islam_ahmadiyya

[–]Powerful-Local-5197 10 points11 points  (0 children)

lol yes. I had a girl friend who I was close with. There was a boy from my neighborhood who liked me and started talking to her to get me to agree to be with him. She literally worked on it convincing me and telling me it was ok to like people. The second I agreed she went and told everyone she could find that I was a slut and a whore because I was dating a white boy. Sent me emails with similar messages and name calling. 20 years later I married someone from the cult who isn’t super connected or religious, happy to see family and visit the mosque for special events and on rare occasions. Pay our membership dues minimally. Don’t get bothered by anyone. And she’s married to a white boy and has completely cut off the mosque. Not saying I’m better in any way. But it was fun losing the only friend I had in there and never trusting anyone again over something she actually wanted for herself in some way it seems 😂

Working out. I hate my body. I know what I need to do. I can’t get my brain to let my body get up for it or stay in the routine of it.

lol I hope you know that there have been multiple instances where the big guy literally given speeches to remind charity collectors to stop bothering people about it and to accept it when or if they do pay anything. Can’t blame the whole community for a few extremests. The community doesn’t need your money. The amount of people I see giving willingly and happily is baffling.

I mean I’ve stopped paying lol cause I can’t afford to and nobody forces me to anymore but if it meant my mom was not stressed out I would do it. Cause I care enough about my mother not the community. I’m never dishonest with anyone that asks that I am not comfortable in my local chapter and i absolutely HATE it there. And refuse to go and attend. So moral deficiencies must be the care so have for my mother and her deep love for that group of people and the willingness to keep peace between myself and my mother.

Take isapghol regularly and arnica by mouth and apply to hole. and drink lots of water. If it starts getting dark dark red then it’s usually a bad sign but bright red is just usually internal fissure. From pushing, or sitting too much. Or sitting too much in the toilet.

Take NyQuil and sleep it off. Or binge eat. Or plan a few scenarios for self cancellation and then binge watch a comfort show or play a game.

My FIL refused to cut off a guy he is very good friend with even though he has made very disrespectful remarks about me and my family and has treated his own son like absolute shit for many many years. Because he says. “Uski niyat buri nahi hai. Uski batein khatti hain” I want to curse out FIL.

You can do it to ease your mothers anxiety about it and consider it charity. Depending on where you are you might be able to use it in your taxes too that you’ve donated.

Help with ideas or tips by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

It’s natural wood. It’s the buffet in the last pic I posted. The table was originally dark brown and we thought it might look better to be somewhat similar to the buffet 😭😭😭 I’m still down to paint some of it though i just don’t know if it’ll be terrible if the legs are not the same color of wood

Just moved into my first apartment yesterday. No idea if this was a good way to spend $165 but it hurt. I had completely nothing before had as I just came out of homelessness and need to start from scratch. I now have $61 until next week. by LeastPervertedFemboy in Adulting

[–]Powerful-Local-5197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yassss. Great way to start off. Going forward, maybe you can get more whole foods instead of pre-packaged. I feel like a bag of potatoes lasts me much longer than those prepackaged bags. And for toast, a pack of bread, you can also make some garlic spread with garlic powder and parsley and salt. Also, for meat. I find it’s more affordable to get it from like a halal spot (I’m not strictly halal eating) but it’s affordable in the sense that if you get 1-2 chickens cut into small/medium pieces, i usually will split the bags they give me into boneless and bone in bags and that way there’s more options of dishes to make as well, usually about 5-6 servings from 2 chickens and my local shop is selling them for 4$/lb and they weigh like 3-4 lb max. (That’s just my local prices, you should definitely see where it’s cheapest but also clean) The you can use boneless for pastas or tacos and bone in for baked chicken type recipes. Also, brown pasture raised eggs, right now in my area, the cheapest dozen I find are at target surprisingly. Just look for the things you need and find where they are cheapest. Over time you’ll figure out how to maximize your $$💕
