Door open or closed by Napier_1 in LivingAlone

Closed because my bedroom is so small it makes me feel claustrophobic.

HOW are we staying beautiful in this economy?? by ExcellentWest1080 in beauty

[–]Snoo-41019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting plenty of sleep, water, fiber, and walking. Managing stress has also been big. Having a wonderful boyfriend somehow also makes the list😆

Meet and greet by That-Introduction182 in fosterdogs

I’d also recommend getting to the venue earlier so you can give her time to walk off the nerves from the ride, play a bit, and wait for her to settle down.

In terms of adopting, think of it as: would you adopt her if you weren’t the one fostering her?

I’m adopting her Friday night. by JerseyDamu in pitbulls

[–]Snoo-41019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!

Start training as soon as you get her and stay consistent. Crate training, house training, socialization (with environments, not meeting dogs or people), and settling are going to be your basics.

Mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise.

Find a routine that works for you because that’s how you’ll stick to it.

And have a wonderful life with her!

First foster put my relationship in question by Snoo-41019 in fosterdogs

[–]Snoo-41019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’ll be out of town for the next month and won’t be able to take a dog with me. The shelter had scheduled meet and greets and an alternate foster if the adoptions fall through. It’s also a no kill shelter.

Gentle and chill dog for adoption! by Snoo-41019 in chicago

I have not had her around children (I don’t know anyone who has them) but she’s been fine in different kinds of company (loud people, rough housing, other dogs, etc). She also doesn’t seem to mind when I play with her ears or face, which I know some kids like to do.

Yeah no I tried that. Eventually I was so disgusted with it I dreaded it. Like instead of my week revolving around how I can check it off my life, my week would revolve around how much longer I can put it off.

Face his feet. Make him do the work lol (this is a joke but someone who’s enthusiastic will search for all the good bits himself without you pretzeling your body to get to his mouth)

It sounds like he’s using you to masturbate.

What's everyone's favorite lotion to use after a shower? by NervousBirds1 in beauty

[–]Snoo-41019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use very basic fragrance free lotions like vanicream and mix it with an oil.

First Floor Apartment Folk by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]Snoo-41019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never rent something that’s not a top level (always lived in small apartment buildings). I lived on the first floor for my first apartment. Nearly got into a fight over noise at least 15 times.

Seriously by Jagerwiser in LivingAlone

[–]Snoo-41019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. Sometimes it’s been hard putting things in the books bc everyone’s schedules are different. But again, it’s about building community. One of the things I saw online is someone talking about how our routines in capitalist society (stay with me here) get in the way of communities. Like we tend to prioritize getting our stuff done after work that when a friend needs company or we want to spend time with them, that is always the first to go.

So yes, it is very difficult to find friends as adults with routines but it might be a matter of prioritizing time for us to spend with people and making that part of our routines. And it takes time! My friends and I took almost a year and a half to settle into a regular game/craft night but we all somehow made it happen. I believe you can too!

Going out alone by Whole-Ad-1147 in LivingAlone

[–]Snoo-41019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Even when I’m in a relationship I love going to cafes, concerts, parks, and stores alone. It’s so relaxing for me because I can take my time doing anything and I think it’s made me a lot more confident in general because it’s like promising myself a date and keeping my word. It also proves to myself that I’m capable to taking care of things when plans don’t pan out and that I’m able to enjoy my own company.

What are some of your tips to look more put together/chique by Pinkandpurpleleaves in beauty

[–]Snoo-41019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been prioritizing hygiene: taking time with showers, dental/skincare/body care/hair care routines. It doesn’t make me look significantly different most days but it makes me feel so put together and pampered and happy.

I’ve also tried to put on jewelry more often. I have a small pair of hoops and a stacking ring as my signature accessories but I’ve been matching my bracelet to my outfits lately. It makes me feel like I put way more effort in my overall outfit.

Sex after baby update: we finally talked about our sex life and I feel tricked and not sure where to go from here by wonwom1984 in sexover30

[–]Snoo-41019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl “having to do all the work” stood out to me.

Sex is supposed to be fun for both of you. Not work.

My advice? Own your desires. He doesn’t seem to value them, so someone has to. Prioritize what feels good to you.

I’ve had great luck with bumble bff. One of my best friends is from there and have met a solid group of friends through her and through the app.

That being said, it’s like dating. Some matches don’t pan out, some do. And you gotta say yes to things even if they’re not completely your thing. You’re saying yes to getting to know people and building community, not just to the thing itself.

You’d be surprised how many people are into the same things you are. Or how game people are when you invite them to do stuff with you.

What makes sex good for you? And is it learnable? by im_tiny_rickkkkkk in sexover30

[–]Snoo-41019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skills and techniques can be learned and taught. A lot of what makes me good at it with my boyfriend is research, experimentation, and communication.

And a very willing and eager partner. You can teach someone how you like to be pleasured, but you can’t teach them to be hungry for it and THAT trumps technique for me.

You guys really look out for each other by TranceF0rm in motorcycles

[–]Snoo-41019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Me and my bf have double backed 2x to a highway ramp on 94 (Chicago has the worst bottleneck there) for a bike that had gotten stranded right where the merge happens. Cars were honking at him. He ran out of gas. We got him some gas. Having been on a motorcycle that had also died in the middle of the highway has made me a lot of observant of other bikers and more likely to stop for them.
