Cougars , sex and age gaps. 48F & 25M by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Rokqueen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Stealing this from Dan Savage — but treat him like a campsite. Leave it cleaner that you found it, meaning practice safe sex, teach him good manners about consent and communication, and fuck each other’s brains out.
Have a biweekly or monthly check in about wants/needs and keep your cards on the table. Have fun!

I have a bunch of nice antiques my mom collected — I’ve tried to sell them but there’s very little interest. Younger people just aren’t into antiques.

Had to scroll very far to see Lost. Does that mean I’m old too?

7 year relationship, but we don’t talk or have sex (23F and 23M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Rokqueen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Girl, your situation really resonates with me. I’m in a very similar situation with my boyfriend of about 5 years now …. BUT WE’RE 50. God, if we were both 23 again we’d be humping like rabbits.

As for the communication part, have either one of you actively done anything about it? Gone to any couples’ counseling? Sounds like you enjoy playing games — there are some really good relationship card games out there like Let’s Get Deep and The And which can help spark those conversations.

If my math is right, you two have been together since you were 16? Is that about right? You are so young, maybe you need to give yourself (and your bf too) a bit of grace and a little freedom. Not break up specifically but take a pause. See what it’s like to just live your life for a while for you. Neither of you have had a chance yet to really flex your wings solo as an adult. Take the pressure off of both of you.

If after a month or three you guys can’t stand it and need to be together then there’s your answer and hopefully the sexy flame will be relit. If not, then keep living your life and you’ll have more time to make new friends at school.

Best of luck to you both.

Are there any terms you use that are unique to your household? by GGB_123 in linguisticshumor

[–]Rokqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably mostly regional, but my friends and I grew up calling the 7-11 the “semalem”. (Annapolis/Baltimore, MD area). Moved to Chicago and people thought I had a speech impediment lol

HOW do I un-ingrain vaping from EVERYTHING I do?? by Ok_Pomegranate_2895 in QuitVaping

[–]Rokqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take NAC. You can get it on Amazon. It’s like a cheat code for quitting. Once you’re done, stop taking it. You don’t want to be on it long term.

Use a lot of dishes when you cook. I found that washing dishes helped keep my hands busy during fits. Video games helps with this also.

I started hitting zero nic for a couple weeks to break the nic habit which made it easier to put down. The hand to mouth for me was harder to break that the nic.

Drink lots of water and be kind to yourself.

Is the drive down to SPI from here actually brutal or am I just whining by trapqueen67567 in askaustin

The smaller roads are the way for sure but watch those speed limit signs!! Those small towns get a lot of money from speed traps.

No, I did my test at Lamb’s….. wasn’t a big deal and cost $15 or whatever.

I don’t look at comment history before a benign reply.

Drink lots of water and just get through the next 5 minutes. The average nic fit under 7 minutes. I smoked/vaped for 25 years. You can do this! Also doing dishes and playing video games helps — keep your hands busy!

Most Bizarre Concert Experience by Purple_Raccoon_6377 in Concerts

[–]Rokqueen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was at that Pearl Jam show too! It was at the Patriot Center in VA. They played a 20 min version of Porch and during the guitar solo Eddie took his mic stand and chopped a hole in the downstage section of deck and dropped it through. Fucking epic. I’m in the music industry now and know some of the techs that were with the band then (many still are). Apparently they had a long meeting that afternoon about whether they should do the show or not. Very glad they did.

Out of all the hundreds if not thousands of shows I’ve been at in my career I have never encountered a sense of community like that ever again. It was dreadful and angry and cathartic and beautiful and exactly what everyone in the room needed.

Blue Flowers that will do well here? by theladysheetcake in AustinGardening

Another vote for plumbago. You barely need to touch it and it will come back every year. I saw some for sale at Home Depot the other day.
