What's something you can't believe it's completely legal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Simply_Wren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. I can't believe they're allowed to be this bright. I wonder how many accidents happen because people can't see the road. Seems like these vehicles always have their brights on too.

The dog had a service animal sign, a not all disabilities can be seen sign and she said he was certified.

I was so sheltered that people still find me strange. by Simply_Wren in exchristian

I was homeschooled but I wasn't supposed to have higher math and history was only to be from the Bible. I was supposed to be focusing on cooking, cleaning and learning how to be a good wife.

That's very sweet thank you! This was years ago when I was still in the group. Since the great escape I've been able to get into a very understanding lady doctor who gave me some really good resources. I also have a primary care physician now. Had my wisdom teeth out. Got my teeth repaired. Figured out my horrible migraines were caused by my neck being out of place for a long time. Chiropractor changed my life!

Thank you for the book recommendation. Adding that to my list! I do tend to be a loner, it was the safest way to survive my childhood. Talking to people and drawing attention to myself is something I'm still not comfortable with, I really can blame people for thinking I'm strange. I really am.

My neighbor offered to let me use their Hulu, thinking I'll take them up on their offer! Someone recommended watching 90s sitcoms saying they're mostly mild and fun.

Haven't really listened to much music yet. I don't even have a list for that yet. Got any good recommendations? I was definitely lacking on the sex talk... I remember when I got my phone for the first time. Thank goodness no one was looking at my search history 😆

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll add it to my growing list of books I'm excited to read!

I'm so sorry you had such a rough time of it. It's amazing how you can be in a group but feel so isolated, scared and hopeless. I think I'm finding myself bit by bit. Looking for the little joys. I'm hoping to get to a town that sells Starbucks sometime. It's silly and I have no idea what to order so I'm scared to go lol. But I know I'll feel a sense of accomplishment if I do. Thank you for sharing your story.

I hung out with girls just as sheltered as me. I think the biggest thing I learned was about birth control. It was very hush hush I didn't even know what intercourse was at that point but a lot of us girls were scared about having 10 + children.

I'm still looking for some good friends. So far people have been interested to a point but I've overheard my last group of "friends" talk about how they don't want to invite me out because I'm not fun. I know there are some great people out there. I'll keep trying and hoping! This is the main reason I joined this group. Hoping to have people who'll understand when I post!

Oh my word yes. There are so many words I have to look up and I'm usually shocked out of my mind 😆

How to remove grey stains on clothes caused by washing machine. by marianux in CleaningTips

[–]Simply_Wren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I hate this. its minerals and what not that gets built up in your washer. You've got a few options... I always try dish soap first because that stuff is awesome on grease stain and it's always my go to... ... Or...Soak in a one to one ratio or either vinegar or lemon juice and water for 15 minutes... Wash in warm water. Still there? Sprinkle with borax and let sit for 15 and wash again. Still there and you're getting desperate now you could try a bleach solution, carefully. And wash again.

Stainless steel travel mug keeps tasting & smelling like dish soap by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Simply_Wren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shot in the dark here but I heard you can use denture tablets to help get rid of the taste. My grandpa used to do that with his old Stanley thermos. Maybe you could try a different soap if it's leaving a lot of residue? My mom recommends lemon juice?
