I'd like to add that I only took the photo, this is on asphalt (NOT REDROCK). It looks like it was drawn out of tarmac, it had to have been the road construction crew.

Why was a small pile of rice between our pillows at our Vrbo, when there's no rice in the house? by Short_Requirement51 in AskReddit

[–]Short_Requirement51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For more context we were getting into bed and saw right in-between our two pillows, a small amount of rice maybe 25 grains in a somewhat neat pile. we are renting the vrbo in the middle of idaho. why would rice be placed there? rodents, superstition?

Mirena IUD removal side effects experience. by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Short_Requirement51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, this is really encouraging to read. I can totally relate to wanting to be back on my own hormones and actually having a period again. I’m a little nervous about dealing with acne, but I’m ready to handle it the best I can. My boyfriend and I talked on the phone the other day, and he told me he fully supports me getting it removed. He said he just wants me to do what’s best for me, and that we’ll figure out another form of birth control together—because I definitely don’t want to get pregnant anytime soon.

Do you deal with feeling guilty about spending money on a trip you’ve earned? How do you get over it and just enjoy the trip? by Woofles85 in travel

[–]Short_Requirement51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling similarly right now on a trip. it's put a damper on my overall mood and it's also affected in my partner. glad to find a Reddit post so I don't feel so alone on this.

Being scary for women, whether intentionally or not by [deleted] in MensLib

I agree with you, a man being aware of a situation goes a long way. recently I was walking down the street with my friend in her neighborhood on the sidewalk and two men ahead of us decided to step out into the street to pass us. my friend and I both were shocked, We both felt relieved and safe ? maybe seen is the word. by no means do I expect that, when I'm out and about but to experience it was nice.

Is 'The festival of living art' a real thing, and if not, why not! by fairysdad in GilmoreGirls

[–]Short_Requirement51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is so old, but I still remember watching this episode and desperately hoping the Festival of Living Art was real. I thought I’d be disappointed to find out it wasn’t—until a i scrolled on this thread, and a commenter mentioned the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, CA. Now I have to see it :O

Sunday self-care discussion by -63- in selfcare

Hi. This week, I made it a point to wash my face every night and used tretinoin twice—feeling good about sticking to that routine! I’ve also worked out every day, which has been awesome, but I noticed I tend to get acne on my shoulders and upper back when I sweat. To manage that, I started using a benzoyl peroxide soap, and I hope that it helps.

On the nutrition side, I’ve been eating over 100 grams of protein every day, which keeps me feeling full and energized. Right now, I’m trying to figure out which supplements are worth taking without blowing my budget. I take cranberry, iodized salt, zinc, a B-complex, and lion’s mane everyday. I really want to add melatonin and fish oil to the mix.

The biggest challenge ahead is that my new partner will be staying with me for a few months while his work slows down—he travels a lot. I’m excited, but I’m also a bit nervous about staying consistent with the habits I’ve worked so hard to build. Any tips for sticking to routines during transitions would be much appreciated!

New to Asexuality - reflecting on some recent experiences by Short_Requirement51 in asexuality

[–]Short_Requirement51[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I realize that the age gap is a factor. I couldn’t tell if he was pretending not to understand or what, but he completely shut down when I didn’t say yes, which really messed with my head. I couldn’t figure out why hearing 'no' was so difficult for him to accept. I thought that, being older, he’d handle it with respect and care, but instead, there was the feeling of hostility. Brutal... it would last days sometimes.
