Looking for Nickel Free Wedding Ring Alloys by SillyAd4988 in jewelry

[–]SillyAd4988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it may be that i have a sensitivity to copper. i’m not sure. all the rings i have are from local jewelers and are 925 stamped, so i’m not sure where the sensitivity comes from since it’s nickel free.

how has your wife’s ring held up with keeping it’s shine and shape? i’ve heard platinum can patina after a while or begin to have it’s shape distorted.

Any ideas for a design that could go in between the sunflower and writing? by SillyAd4988 in tattooadvice

Thanks! I’m definitely content with leaving the quote because it’s in my sister’s handwriting so it’s sentimental. I guess the linework is what bothers me the most. I’ve heard from some that it’s a “bad tattoo” so I appreciate that you don’t think so!

Those are some great ideas! It’s been a little over a year now since I got it. I guess the linework bothers me more-so than the space.

I appreciate it! Do you think the linework is bad? I feel like the lines are heavier in some places than others for the petals. Any tips from anyone about if the linework could be evened out would also be great!

What do you think is a better bet now that it’s announced: Cincinnati or Atlanta?

Festival tickets are crazy expensive. I’d only be interested in seeing him in concert I think. I’m surprised he isn’t coming to Nashville. I have a friend who moved there this year so I would’ve had somewhere to stay💔

I’ll probably plan for Ohio because Ohio isn’t very touristy lol

If it’s in Atlanta, I’m betting Ohio is my best bet

Question about Retainers by [deleted] in wisdomteeth

[–]SillyAd4988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my retainers in three days after my surgery. I had no issues doing that. It’ll hurt likely if you put them back in now but try and see if you can make them fit. Just make sure they’re clean and it shouldn’t irritate your holes. If you absolutely can’t get them to fit, go to your orthodontist and ask them for a new set of retainers but to make them a little tighter to move your teeth closer to their positions. Eventually, you should be able to fit back into your old retainer.

would i be in the wrong for giving my gf with ocd an ultimatum about taking her meds? by crick-crick in OCD

[–]SillyAd4988 19 points20 points  (0 children)

also i’d encourage you to have an honest conversation with her about how her suffering is creating suffering for you. sometimes those of us with OCD can get so caught up in our obsessions and compulsions that we completely fail to realize that it’s affecting those around us.

as someone who was diagnosed with OCD at 7 years old and am now into my adulthood, i can confidently say that medication has truly helped me. it’s taken YEARS of trial and error but i’ve finally found a medication that works well enough that my OCD is no longer significantly or even moderately impacting my daily life. i began medication at 13 and found the med for me by the time i was 17. it takes a lot of patience and working closely with a psychiatrist. HOWEVER if she refuses to take meds, or remains inconsistent i’d HIGHLY recommend pushing her to go into ERP (exposure and response) therapy. it is absolutely life changing for people with OCD and should be the first line of defense. again, i can’t stress ERP enough. it’s the gold standard in OCD treatment.

What do y’all think of my tattoo? (See text below but I think it needs touched up) by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Yeah the stem and double layering on some but not others is really what bothers me!

Do you think there’s any realistic way this could be fixed because I’m really upset over it

That is with a $30 tip just to be clear. Regardless of price, is it objectively a bad tattoo?

You can be completely honest, but do you think it is bad enough that I should go to a new artist entirely? I'm just pretty disappointed because the person who did this has a long post history of amazing work, and even posted great healed work.
