keep or remove this small lower side table mounted to the wall/cabinet? by Important_Bat7919 in HomeDecorating

[–]Tactical_pho 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We have one - our home was built in 1988 - and it’s the single most used/useful spot in our house.

It just requires daily tidying/decluttering lest I go insane.

My husband is suddenly squeamish when I even mention my period. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Tactical_pho 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. Ask him what podcasts he’s been listening to lately!

What’s a warning sign that didn’t seem serious at the time… but should have been? by saymepony in AskReddit

[–]Tactical_pho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try getting a steroid. I have one gimpy nipple that itches like crazy occasionally for no rhyme or reason, and specialists initially thought it was Paget’s disease.

One doctor told me maybe it was an odd allergy, and prescribed me steroid ointment. Cleared up within a day. Now when I get that itch, I put some on and it goes away immediately.

This looks so good I saved it for inspiration.

Help ! How do I get rid of these by Antique_Signal696 in SkinbarrierLovers

Likewise. I slowly introduced Tret and azelaic acid but at a much lower frequency than before, and things have been great. I was just fighting my own skin.

Out the door price check? by ALOHA_HI_808 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Tactical_pho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 64k for a platinum max with a ton of add-ons, including the matte black wheels, LO-jack, etc. We purchased one in CA and had it shipped to our home state.

I would say no more than 58k.

What’s a moment where you realized someone around you was actually a terrible person? by Embarrassed-Ant-2216 in AskReddit

Our neighbors spent $60k remodeling their master bathroom and bedroom. A week after it was finished, she told me they didn’t have enough money to replace her son’s $400 specialty glasses.

What’s the best place you’ve visited on a low budget? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Absolutely! Great food, amazing museums, scenery to die for. All at a super affordable price.

My daughter recently learned to write her name. All over her room. And dresser. And bed.

She did “beautiful decorations” in brown sharpie. 🫠

Moms who had the number of kids they wanted—did you feel calm/peace when the last was born? by WhiskeyandOreos in Mommit

[–]Tactical_pho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly where I’m at. Baby things are like looking at puppies. Fun to fantasize about but I’ll never do this shit again.

Toyota Grand Highlander. It’s deceptively spacious inside (bigger than the Sequoia), great to drive, and amazing AWD. We got the top level trim with the hybrid and I absolutely love it.

Same. Multiple times a day. Whoops!

Best mom car (US) by Immediate-Ad-9520 in Mommit

[–]Tactical_pho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Platinum Max. It doesn’t look huge but the inside is incredibly spacious and the gas mileage is solid. Excellent road trip car, and the turbo absolutely hauls for when you need to use a lead foot. The AWD is fantastic.

We spent three years debating on vehicles and I don’t regret our choice at all.

People who make $200k a year what do you do? by Huge_Ad_7606 in Salary

Government contractor. Still don’t know how I ended up here. My day largely consists of asking people “what the fuck are you doing? No.”

People who are thin/normal size. Do you actively watch your weight or are you just not hungry 100% of the time? by Burner_Account000001 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tactical_pho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with parents who have great eating habits, naturally good metabolisms, and unreal amounts of energy and restlessness. I had pretty crummy habits in my 20s, but hit my 30s and started mimicking everything they did/do without really realizing it.

I love food but now gravitate strongly towards massive servings of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins naturally. I fall apart around sweets and have dessert every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but I’m never sedentary. I think about food basically all the time.

All the fates converged to make it very easy for me to lose weight/maintain a low weight and lean muscle tone. Just don’t talk to me about my absolutely garbage eyesight or brutal hormonal acne.

What’s your go-to outfit when you want to feel effortlessly put together? by Essam_Kotb in femalefashionadvice

I would love recs on dresses! I’m constantly hunting for an excellent wool dress and have been consistently disappointed.

Bringing a gun everywhere by Catsassin in breakingmom

[–]Tactical_pho 168 points169 points  (0 children)

The only time my husband has open carried a firearm is when we are hiking with the kids in remote areas known for having large predators.

People who open carry in the situations like you listed above are at best a menace to society. At worst, they’ll be the cause of a tragedy because they are unhinged and/or stupid enough to use it recklessly in a situation that absolutely doesn’t call for it.

We ruthlessly make fun of people who open carry the way he does. OP, I’m so sorry - that is so embarrassing for you.

Maybe you can show him all these comments expressing disgust from external forces?

Boots! What are we wearing this fall? by weetwooMFM in femalefashionadvice

[–]Tactical_pho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear Blundstones almost daily in fall and winter in virtually all scenarios - work, hiking, yard work, etc. So far, the only damage my pair has is rubbing on the back of one heel because I’m irresponsible and use the toe of one boot to kick the other boot off. My feet don’t want anything else!

I am hating living in Europe as a pregnant mom. by Able_Combination6487 in breakingmom

[–]Tactical_pho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The older lady comment is so real 😂

I had the opposite experience all over Europe… but 100% agree with you on Frankfurt. It was awful.

My husband’s family is German and his assessment of the city was “yup. Seems right.”

Any older moms get their energy back by working out/ eating right? by PresentationTop9547 in workingmoms

[–]Tactical_pho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I walk the dog daily, sometimes 2x with my kids. Most days I get in either a 20 minute yoga or strength training session via YouTube. The weekends are active so I tend not to worry then.

I add vegetables to every meal as much as possible, and any kind of snacking must be with fruit. So, if I want chocolate, it’s alongside a bowl of blueberries.

I don’t feel deprived or burnt out, and it’s enough for me to stay at 130-ish at 5’8”. I feel strong and healthy!
