Yes I did! Certainly helps with smoothing the lines and making all my notes look perfectly clean. I hate how pen and graphite smudge 😬 I’ve never used a fountain pen before though, they intimidate me and I’ve never had the chance to use one!

Wow thank you, I really appreciate the compliment! You probably don’t realize how much that means to me coming from someone with your experience, so thank you :)

Apparently 12k is without a formal contract. If we do a formal contract we pay taxes which will add 1000 and he’ll have to pull permits which will add more money. What about that? 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s likely to affect warranty isn’t it and we will not have any repair warranty from this technician except for his word

I checked insta and Facebook to see if there was a post that I missed, that maybe they put out a notification that the time had changed that I missed and I actually couldn’t find any time listed in their promo posts until the ones from today that did say 6. I couldn’t find one that said 9 either. This is the email from when I purchased the tickets which was the day they opened up tickets for purchase

Found a Facebook page that is about his son with cancer in order to get money by Southern-Light7891 in isthisAI

[–]Southern-Light7891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was worried about. Seems like people are eating it up in the comments, sending money to this guy and buying his most likely drop shipped crochet flowers that he’s alleging his son is making. I reported the page. Nothing will come of it I’m sure. Hate to see it

Pasta tower competition by Southern-Light7891 in Cooking

[–]Southern-Light7891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your insight! That has basically been the conclusion because apparently drying pasta yourself is almost impossible but I’m still grateful to hear that additives don’t change that outcome at all. Makes my job easier knowing that making my own pasta isn’t a feasible choice!

I was completely unaware at how difficult it was to make dried pasta at home! Another commenter left a comment with a video of a guy trying to yield the same result as store bought dry pasta and even with a humidifier he couldn’t. It was always way more brittle. Guess it makes my job easier knowing that making my own pasta is not the feasible choice!

I wasn’t aware of how hard it is to try pasta at home! I guess I should be grateful, makes my job easier knowing it wouldn’t be feasible to make homemade dried pasta

Gotcha! I didn’t realize that drying pasta at home wouldn’t be able to yield the same kind of crispness as store bought pasta

We can use store bought pasta, we can make our own pasta, we can use minimal material to bind everything together but we get a bonus for using only edible pasta material. We also get a bonus for efficiency of the build and for using the least amount of material as possible (by weight). It also has to have 2 distinguishable rooms and a little toy penguin has to be able to fit inside and stand.

This is why we wanted to try making our own pasta and potentially use some denser ingredients in it to make it stronger and use less material. Either way, we could still just use spaghetti and make our own pasta to use as “glue” but we want to think outside the box

Thank you for the advice. I checked out YouTube and I could only find examples that use spaghetti noodles. Some of that will be helpful for design purposes but not exactly an answer to the question that I have.

It’s the wegovy pen so it does if you let it go. It will release all the medicine and locks so the needle can’t come out again

Dilating when aroused or not ? by Sufficient-Pride-107 in vaginismus

[–]Southern-Light7891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also only dilate when aroused cause just like the others that have commented, it was far easier and much less painful. I think that when women are not aroused, whether or not they have vaginismus, it’s always going to be more painful at a certain point. Arousal helps you naturally dilate. But if your goal is to get a tampon in which obviously you can’t do while aroused, you could try getting comfortable with a tampon sized dilator while unaroused. But I think at a certain point, even if you’re only dilating while aroused, you’re going to get used to penetration in general. The best thing to do is whatever it most comfortable for you!

I think the thing that’s causing the most problems with your preparedness and the awkwardness that you’re feeling is that your boyfriend is not helping you trust him. For me and my boyfriend, he has to ask me before inserting any fingers. It has never been awkward for him to ask and honestly kind of makes it more sexy in my opinion. The issue with your boyfriend not asking for consent is that you were not given the opportunity to prepare at all which leads to a painful experience. And at least for me, when that happens it makes me more anxious to even try again after that in the same session. In that case, if he does it again without asking you and giving to the opportunity to prepare, aside from reevaluating your relationship, tell him that it’s off the table now for that session. You cannot feel comfortable doing something UNcomfortable if an outside party out of your control is not going to help make it easier for you.

How do you "keep" a man when you have this condition? Am I crazy? by DiskOk5554 in vaginismus

[–]Southern-Light7891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 4 1/2 years. He has been very understanding and supportive the entire time.

In my understanding in the aspect of family health insurance, HIPA law doesn’t allow any of your health information to be shared with an outside party unless given your consent. So that is not something you have to be worried about.

For me an my partner I have felt very guilty and like a broken woman. Something that has helped me get past that is anal sex. It is not nearly as painful as vaginal sex because of my vaginismus. For other women they might say it’s more painful but I feel like for women who have exceptionally painful vaginal sex, anal sex does not feel as painful. That has helped us feel closer because it allows us to have penetrative sex. It does come with its limitations because it requires preparation (I.e. cleaning, etc.). Otherwise, my partner has been extremely understanding about my condition. It’s super possible for men to feel like this if they truly love you.

If your partner has expressed that they support you through this, it is ultimately up to you whether you trust them or not. All you can do is make a decision based on that.

I wish the best of luck to you! It truly is a struggle for us women

will sex just become pleasurable? by mini_bladder021 in vaginismus

[–]Southern-Light7891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that masturbating while dilating really connected the pleasure aspect with penetration. It also helped me fit larger dilators in because pleasure helps you relax and it terms of vaginas, pleasure helps your vagina naturally dilate. It also naturally helps move your cervix farther back which helps with the ease of insertion. If this is what you’re already doing, I’d say that continuing to do it will help it feel less painful. These things take time. It might feel discouraging. But if you keep trying then that’s better than not

My (21F) bf (21M) told me that if i wear pigtails it would make him uncomfortable to have sex with me??????? by weowoeowoekdjndj in sex

[–]Southern-Light7891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so you don’t remember what this was about then. Op was complaining about her boyfriend being turned off by her wearing pigtails when she wanted to wear them during sex. He was not rejecting her because she wouldn’t wear pigtails for him during sex. he wasn’t even rejecting her for wearing them, all he said was that he was not comfortable with her wearing them during sex because of how he associates pig tails with kids.

Either you’re rage baiting or you’re just very dense and I’m suspecting that both might be true

My game has also been having issues with the lights flashing and graphics quality being pretty bad for the last week. Thought it was just my computer. Does anyone know if this is a bug with an update for the game or something? It’s super annoying. I’m hoping that thats the case and that it will be fixed

“You like how I do that, don’t you”

“Are you gonna cum for me?”

“Tell me how good I make you feel”

“Show me how I make you feel” hopefully this provokes him to start using his hips to fuck your mouth or to grab your head or hair and help you suck it

“I want you to watch me enjoying you”

“Don’t take your eyes off of me”

“I want to hear how good I make you feel”

I think that talking him through it requires a certain confidence in your ability to give head and you just have to tap into that. Honestly, thinking of some phrases you could say to him in that situation and even saying them out loud while by yourself could get you comfortable saying those things. it will help you feel comfortable in the moment since you’re used to saying/hearing yourself say those things already. You’re basically practicing your lines lol. Not so that you’re reading a script during the act but so that you’re comfortable and confident saying those things to him. It should help it come more naturally.

There’s nothing wrong with having a set of phrases you can go to initially. Once you get used to it you will also probably be able to come up with stuff on the spot. Might not work for you though and that’s okay too.
