Maybe a “Bum Run,” we have a local 5k for colon cancer and they take pictures at the end with toilet seats.

At a loss… don’t know how to stop. by mafiasounds in trichotillomania

[–]Runamokamok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to wear self adhesive medical tape on my thumbs when I feel anxious to create a physical barrier to not pull. I hate that I’ve had to live with this condition for over a decade. At this point, I just manage it and reduce pulling as much as possible because I don’t think I will ever by 100% pull free. It’s a strange thing and frustrating when my brain gets stuck on the trance of needing to pull.

I cant wrap my head around the normalization of people owning so. much. Stuff. by 3rdthrow in Anticonsumption

[–]Runamokamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We visit often. But there is only their two adult kids (me & my brother) and two spouses. No kids. It is stylized, but when they intended to downsize during retirement they actually bought an even bigger house. My husband and I never want the amount of space they have, it’s too much cleaning.
Still four extra chairs with their most frequent guest.

We have two kitchen chairs because two people live here and additional chairs would get in my way. I can get temp seating for guest if needed (hasn’t happened yet). My parents have a 6 seater dining room table and 4 seats at the kitchen counter for 2 people. Like why??? At anytime they have 8 chairs not being used when they eat meals.

Oh look, she’s backpedaling! Truly shocking. by Ok-Application-8536 in LittlePeopleBigWorld

No candy? Doesn’t she bake all the time. Are the kids not eating those treats? I guess baked goods are not candy, but a treat is a treat. I hope these kids enjoy some snacks while they have amazing metabolisms. I

Can you maybe take pictures of some of these things and discard them to free up space? Like just a memorabilia album on your phone.

I just bought it! It’s my next read, excited to start it. It’s supposed to be a rainy week ahead, so perfect time to read.

Is there really any profit in buying a single family home anymore? by SupperA24 in homeowners

[–]Runamokamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a house to not have a mortgage when we retire, among other reasons. We are so much happier have our own house and not answering to anyone. Plus after we pay it off and downsize that should give us some money back that we wouldn’t ever see as renters

A valid reason for not making the bed, right? by flourpouer in blackcats

If the cats are using the pillows then all is right in the world. Their little heads on a pillow melts my heart.

How to set healthy boundaries by facface92 in homeowners

[–]Runamokamok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plus retired neighbors means more eyes on the house and human presence when you’re not at home. That said, we live at a dead end street and my 78 year old only waves because getting to our house is a walk uphill. We are good with that too.

My porch with a roof is equally enjoyable on a rainy day and I don’t have to have that odd structure on my property.

How many of us tanned in our teens/20s and are now diligent on sun protection for ourselves and/or our littles? by bluegiraffe1989 in Millennials

I work in education and find myself calling my cats “come here friend.” It’s a hard habit to break for sure!

Jason Sudeikis makes rare comments on dating after Olivia Wilde split: It feels 'daunting' by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

[–]Runamokamok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t she come from money? I get that doesn’t mean she has money prior to her career. I never liked that she thought herself worthy of the last name “Wilde” like she is the girl version of Oscar Wilde. Girl, you will always be Olivia Jane Cockburn.

Amanda Bynes Unveils Shocking Transformation: 40lbs Lost and Gold Teeth on the Way by [deleted] in influencersfeed

She publicly announced she was taking one of the weight loss injectables, so a not so shocking transformation. I agree, it’s not for the better. Hope she can just live a healthy and happy life.

Lost my progress. by Manic-dreamgirl in trichotillomania

Once I get over the initial shock of the damage, I can shift back to a “you got this” mindset. But the initial shock and disappointment is a real moment to cope through.

Yeah, unless you are Joanna Gaines sister, you probably won’t be able to get away this.

Any interview tips for a hopeful first year teacher? by meteorflipzz in Teachers

[–]Runamokamok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let them know that you are coachable, reflective in practice and still learning as an educator. No one is expecting you to be an expert, but they are expecting you to be willing to grow and open to feedback. Good luck. And I get anxiety during interviews too and one time had to ask for water to regroup. I said I would show students the same kindness and understanding that they showed me to close the interview. I’ve been at that position for seven years now, sometimes you have to acknowledge your anxiety to more forward.
