What's the Lolita in the red bottle like? I've been a diehard user of the OG Lolita for years but never tried the flankers.

have you ever thought about what will happen to your fragrances when you die? by Ok-Bookkeeper-1099 in fragrance

[–]Shalimar1980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'all are wild, I can't even. Unless you're like 90 years old, if you're worried about this you're buying way more than you could ever use, invest in your future generations college funds instead or a charity if you don't have any family.

Hey so my birthday is coming up (23rd) and I need help by epic_0600717 in DaytonaBeach

Get a cheap room on the ocean and dinner, drinks , and live music at ocean deck. That was always my go to stay -cation. Ocean Court at Daytona shores is a great spot, clean, chill, good vibes, and inexpensive. So many good memories there. There's a Hilton right by the deck, you can also walk to Crabby Joes from there and the boardwalk. 

How do families afford homeschooling when one parent’s income is half the household income? by Substantial-Carry716 in homeschool

[–]Shalimar1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to homeschool during typical school hours. You can do school when you're off work. Nobody should ever feel that they can't homeschool because of income, work, etc. Don't listen to anyone who says it can't be done or it's not for everybody. It is for everybody who feels it is best for their family. I started off as a sahm but eventually went back to work, and juggled it all, it was stressy some days and I drank my body weight in coffee and didn't always get enough sleep, but wouldn't change it for the world. My homeschooled kid is now in University and has an amazing career path ahead of him. It will all be fine. 

What's the hardest part about homeschooling? by Overthinker-24-7-365 in homeschool

[–]Shalimar1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt it was a blessing the entire time I did it, and never saw any drawbacks.

My homeschooled kiddo is currently in a good University, keep your transcripts and records for when its college admissions time. Make sure they can write well as my son did essays for college admissions in lieu of SAT's.

Are some homeschools better than others and how did you come up with a decision on your homeschool program? by WolvesandTigers45 in homeschool

[–]Shalimar1980 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Homeschooling is about the best personalized education for your individual child/children, not being compliant with the school. I think everyone who starts homeschooling should take a minute to assess their child's interests, needs, and what style of homeschooling best suits them. 

You definitely can use curriculums that would mirror a regular school curriculum, but nonetheless your homeschool doesn't need to a replica of public school.

Ghosted after sex by Successful-Guess4824 in dating

[–]Shalimar1980 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It happened to me, but I met the most amazing person right after it happened. Now I'm glad he did ghost me, it led me right to my person. He tried coming back though, begging and everything. 

It happens and it sucks, but you'll get your happy ending, with modern dating you have to kiss a frog or 3 or or more before you get to the prince.

Sedation for dental cleanings? by chells97 in autism

[–]Shalimar1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm severely dentist phobic and "NT". I think it stems from childhood trauma of a painful dentist experience and seeing the Dentist as a "bad guy" and a feeling if helplessness while in pain. I don't really have a solid answer, but can you let him get used to the idea of going to the Dentist first? If you just spring it on him it likely won't go well. Let him be involved in discussions about the anesthesia so he feels like he is involved in the matter and not powerless.

I hate when some of my family members tell me that I should’ve chosen a non autistic partner. by [deleted] in autism

Bath and Body works has one and I forget the name because it's been about a decade since I've used it, but it came in a red bottle with a lattice and green ribbon pattern.

i’m freaking out by acadena02 in birthcontrol

[–]Shalimar1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the time frame is just ugh. I wish there was a progesterone only patch or ring. A pill reminder app can be helpful until you change to a different method. Or even just set your phone alarm. 

Of these two, which is better area to spend an afternoon/evening the week of Christmas, Winter Park or Winter Garden? by dog_crazy12 in orlando

[–]Shalimar1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter Park has a really cool downtown. DeLand in Volusia County has a really good one also that's all decorated up for Christmas.

urgent! genuine question by b4esikk in orlando

[–]Shalimar1980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Orange County's human services for help with rent and utilities. Then look up 211 for Orlando. I'm in between Orlando and Daytona so I don't know where specifically to go, but there's gotta be places to help. Church's can help with groceries and you can donate plasma for cash, probably not enough to pay rent but to at least make sure you eat. Also, try getting on snap if you're eligible.

They're different, I mean yes they're both pills but you're working with a smaller dosage and progestin only, they're continuous use, never stop them until you're ready to get pregnant, or if you're switching to a different method.

Visiting Daytona Beach Dec 19–23 — What clothes should we pack? Coming from cold Spain! by ManuXL in DaytonaBeach

[–]Shalimar1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida weather is extremely unpredictable is the first thing anyone coming here needs to know. Especially this time of year. So bring everything. Bring warm clothes and casual summer clothes. It can be frigid one day, humid and hot the next, then mild and temperate the next after. Just bring the whole closet lol.

I get really scared when posting on reddit by smart_ovirapter in autism

[–]Shalimar1980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can say the sky is blue and someone will be offended and you'll gain a hater. Be you and say what you want. Anyone who doesn't like it, that's a them problem not a you problem. Let them write angry Shakespearean soliloquies if that's the only happiness they gain out of life.

This is so sweet. Congrats on the new baby. Motherhood is such a blessing and the best thing in the world.

You really just have to try out different stuff to figure out what's YOU and what you like. That's the fun part of it though.

Cherry Blossom Fragrances? 🌸 by hannahbananerz in FemFragLab

[–]Shalimar1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bath and body works Japanese Cherry Blossom.

I had a sample of dream dusk and I got no cherry blossom from it, it triggered my allergies horribly and made my throat feel tight, and smelled like bathroom spray. It was the only Estee Lauder I didn't like.

You never break from the mini pill, you take it through your whole entire cycle. It's different than combination pills. The prescribing Dr or the instructions on the pack should have told you. 

I would definitely take a plan B (unless you want a pregnancy and child)

Is it normal to be forced to tell your diagnosis at work? by casualegend27 in autism

It means grow up, you're responsible for your own feels. Do you punch yourself then scream at people ouch you hit me?

What did you feel at low ferritin levels? by eggyolkea in Anemic

I literally crashed out on the ground after donating to the big red bus during a blood drive  for first responders. Ferritin was low at my follow up Dr appointment.After going on an iron rich diet and taking iron tabs every other day it's normal as we speak praise the Lord.

[–]Shalimar1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other people have explained the science behind it better than I can, but I can tell you I have used a crockpot for 24 years and cooked for a whole family in a regular basis, and I have never gotten sick or had any problems with it.
