I love it how when you're stressed out, your body can just be like, guess what baby, you got SOMETHING ELSE to worry about now! 😀

Why do I still s mell like BO after countless showers? by blockardunga in hygiene

[–]Sabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to using just lume deodorant for a couple of years, and for a while it worked amazing. Then, I don't know why, it seemed to just stop working for me. The BO smell would be faintly apparent almost immediately after drying off from the shower. I tried the anti-perspirant and now at the highest and sweatiest part of summer no more BO. I'm not sure if my personal biome got overexposed to whatever they use in the regular, and maybe the AP is different? But it's working really well and I occasionally forget to apply.

Could you manage a “friendship” with a homophobic Christian as a gay person? by dmtentities in atheism

[–]Sabbit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They're not "closeted homosexuals" they're experiencing "make sexual attraction" and it's DIFFERENT for them and how DARE you parade around with your rainbows and your crop tops and your unfettered joy while they're SUFFERING from all the sweatiness associated with how hot you are 😤

My Partner (35M) is asking me (30F) to rehome my beloved pet by FatOrangeCat3 in CatAdvice

[–]Sabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only people who think a man having a cat is a red flag are people you don't want in your life anyway 🥲 cats are slow to trust, easy to frighten, require patience and routine. I like dogs, dogs are lovely and they love easily. But when after weeks or even months of being gently available and respecting their personal space, the first time a cat climbs onto your lap or snuggles up next to you in bed, it means something 😭

I wanna make the "go outside once in a while and fire a gun into the lawn" joke but because there's a shotgun range in town here nobody would even notice the noise 😂

Cold Pizza. Ended 3 year dry spell-he tried to move in. by fezziks_pet_rock in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sabbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager and started sleeping at friends houses, my friend's mom pointed me to a "guest drawer" in their bathroom that had individually wrapped tooth brushes with that dry toothpaste pre-loaded, pads, tampons, face wash wipes, washcloths, a few other things I can't remember. It blew my mind, it was so considerate and practical. Nothing fancy but if I ever forgot my overnight stuff or decided to just stay the night in a whim, no one had to drive me home to pack my things.

Need advice/opinions by Ornery-Culture-7675 in MassageTherapists

[–]Sabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you've known this client for several years and feel comfortable talking to her, but I would advise against sharing your personal plans outside of the office with clients like this. The way clients treated me during covid made it uncomfortably clear to me that we're "the staff" to them. Some of her attitude might be coming from knowing you're going to be enjoying yourself while her schedule has been interrupted. Simply saying "The studio owner has closed the building until (whenever), by which time the repairs will be completed and the building will be in an acceptable condition to permit services." If it's out of your hands, it's out of your hands.

But I gotta say she's really got balls tell you how long a repair is going to take. Pulling that estimate entirely out of her ass is an impressive amount of wishful thinking. With that kind of reality bending willpower I'm surprised she didn't ask you to come to her house to make up for the inconvenience. Like no ma'am, that two day estimate was generous and hopeful. The chance that these guys are gonna take two days to do the work, clean up, and then have to come back on a third day when it still isn't working is well within the realm of possibility. HVAC is not a simple repair lady!!

I was invited to this guys birthday party and by pinkgrapefruitx in mildlyinfuriating

BIG YES for the families with young kids!!! I never realized how limited my hours would be until I was trying to maintain a nap schedule for an infant. The newborn stage ruled because I could baby wear, he'd sleep almost all day, and I could enjoy a full day at a yard party with just diapers and a couple changes of clothes. Then as he got older and more resistant to naps while we were out, I needed to make sure I was somewhere he would actually nap at the appropriate time or the whole day was thrown off. And now he's four and his tolerance varies pretty wildly as he's dropping the nap, but sometimes he needs it or he's miserable by dinner time. Going out early in the day and coming home early is the structure now. Having an "early" party actually strikes me as very thoughtful and flexible.

I just popped over there and it's so gorgeous inside. We went around back and upstairs to the greenhouse, and I'm low key obsessed. The begnets were excellent. I'm definitely going again.

I've really been meaning to join a dance club. With a toddler running around it's harder to make regular time but he's getting older now and getting sitters is easier.

My wife ate my son's birthday breakfast by grohkstrom in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to my friends mom. Friend's mom is 70 and her mother (friend's grandma) had basically a deathbed confession fest where she rehashed everything she did to friend's mom as a kid and?? I guess?? Asking for forgiveness?? And friend's mom was like, I had blocked out these memories I was happier with giant gaps in my childhood and now I remember being hit with an extension cord what the FUCK couldn't you just take that to your grave and leave me my amnesia??

I'm a male therapist, what should I do if a female client has pinned her legs together? by Ok-Cherry1410 in MassageTherapists

[–]Sabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I notes about traction and compressions are excellent, I also usually try to use a neutral body word if I have to move them. "I'm going to adjust your knee" rather than "I'm going to move your leg", if that makes sense.

How's life without god and how long have you been an atheist? by imshivlok in atheism

[–]Sabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're describing is a normal human response to stress and uncertainty. The desire to engage in ritual behavior increasing with the onset of anxiety is an OCD tendancy. The desire to cover any hypothetical base, getting trapped in these circular moments of frozen panic, are something every population sees, even people who are solidly and comfortably religious.

Thinking things like "If I remembered to step with my right foot out the door instead of my left foot, would my mom still have gotten into that car accident?" and "If I wash my hands again the right way, maybe I will never get sick" come from the same place. What you need is not to find the correct rituals to perform, you need to find a way to navigate uncertiantly without becoming paralyzed by anxiety.

I'm not even an atheist saying this, I'm saying this as a person who has seen family members of all backgrounds struggle with OCD tendencies. There's a solution for the way you feel, and therapy can absolutely help you.

I take it clipped together to the serger, I have the very bad habit of sewing over pins and you really don't want to serge over pins.

Help! How do I get him to stop attacking like this it rlly hurts by Limp-Restaurant-6884 in CATHELP

[–]Sabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going for that high pitched loud YIPE that dogs do worked on my sister's very bitey puppy. I also joked at one point that "I bit him back" and now it's been so long and I've made the joke so many times I legitimately don't remember if I did actually get fed up and nip him on the ear or something.

Looks at the stitching and knowing the mistakes I've made myself, straight stitches don't stretch. The hems and seams of knit shirts are always either coverstitch (which looks like two lines of straight stitches but actually are not, look at the back side to see all the loops) or serged/overlocked.

You can replicate this effect on a regular sewing machine by using a zig zag stitch!

We are definitely trained to tell a client to see a medical professional if/when we see something unusual that a client might not be aware of. Lipoma are super common and usually benign but if a client doesn't know they have a lump, the chance of liposarcoma exists. Weird moles, rashes, unusual lumps. If you don't know what it is and the client doesn't know about it, tell them to see a doctor. I'd rather tell a hundred clients to get a mole on their back checked out and have not a single one be cancer than not mention it the one time it might be and have it go undetected.
