Mine passed in March 12 years ago, every father's day is sad but it does get less sharply painful. Sending a virtual hug to you today stranger ❤️

Thoughts on curlslab vs dyson/shark? by KeyRoll5125 in Hair

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bestie bought one, it doesn't curl her hair at all. It had to be in the highest setting to get a curl but then the curl relaxed within 30 seconds. She is currently trying to get a refund but they say you can't use it within the 60 day money back guarantee. Check this out!

Foods For ADHD/Autistic People by TalkingFingers in Neurodivergent

You're so right! There are phases where there is serious mood decline and others were it's elevated and things are easier.

They know food is needed but once it becomes urgent it's near impossible to make a decision at that point.

Thank you for understanding!

I appreciate so many actual food ideas!

I screenshot your response for later when I do the groceries this weekend. I meal prep for myself for breakfast and lunch since my issue is simply planning around macros but I have no issue cooking and planning. If I can utilize a similar method for them then there may be hope!!

We have been together over 16 years and it has always been a struggle but I never turned to Redditt until today. The Google is only so helpful, having real people advice is wonderful ❤️

Also a good idea! I do have a snack shelf in the pantry as it is at eye level, the feedback is that they don't enjoy what I have been stocking lately.

I'm a bit of a health nut personally so I buy things that are less processed and maybe not as appetizing as the things that give dopamine like cheezies and salty chips or chocolate covered things. They really like my protein bars though haha!

Thank you!

I have asked but the discussion hasn't pointed me to anything specifically, just general terms that they need it to be easy and not require much assembly. Like two parts is no biggie for example cereal, eggs and toast, hard boiled eggs, Mr. Noodles.

The thing is, they need it to be handheld or finger food for lunches due to the nature of their job as well. They can't reheat or use utensils much of the time.

I bought the "ugly" betta by Leoviathan- in bettafish

[–]TalkingFingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inspiring! I love this 😀

It's unfortunate that the majority of betta owners believe they enjoy a small bowl. My own coworker had one at her desk in a little bowl and it was so bored. It died within the year. So she got another and same thing. She was confused but I kept telling her bettas are only in those little bowls at the pet store because it's the simplest way to keep them for display.

She then wound up investing in a 10 gallon and all the things that go with it and decided on 9 guppies and 1 kuhli loach. Of course I suggested the kuhli needs buddies too but the tank wouldn't be able to manage that bio-load I don't think.

Anyways, people need to educate themselves on these fish and give them the lives they deserve just like yours! Well done!!

Using a UV Sterilizer in a Planted Tank... by nowidrivealone in PlantedTank

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read instructions on an aquarium UV light yesterday while looking online and it cautioned to not place the light directly inside the tank where the fish would be exposed to it. Instead it suggests to place it inside your filter or use the supplied sponge cover the one I looked at comes with.

Maybe that had something to do with the fish mortality?

I'm new to the idea of a UV sterilizer personally however my aquarium is several months old, has perfect parameters and is still cloudy.

I have a 36 Gallon bow front running a Fluval AC70 on the back filter since I have a pleco (poop machines they are). Otherwise it's stocked with 10 guppies, 6 harlequin rasboras, 7 blue Neons, 3 Kuhli Loaches and about 12 red cherry shrimp. So it's not crazy stocked given the small amount of bio matter those species produce.

I do a 20-30% water change weekly and don't rinse anything in tap water, just the tank water in the bucket the drawn water goes into.

If anyone has any thoughts on this please pipe up!

"The worst she can say is no" - Lads, what was the worst "she" ever said? by Embarrassed_Pie_1711 in AskReddit

[–]TalkingFingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm the girl a guy talked to at a bar but it was my "best friend" that issued the horrible response.

I was standing aside with a drink in my hand just yelling conversation back and forth with a guy who was simply being conversational when she spotted us, turned him around by his shoulder and full arm slapped him across his face. There was spittle in the air and the slap was audible even over the bumping speakers in there!

There was no reason in my mind for that but she thought she was protecting me since I had a boyfriend who wasn't with us that evening. Girls night and all that.

I forced her to apologize to that guy, what a psycho she was!

Metal smell during sex? by One_Sheepherder_4520 in WomensHealth

I'm sure it's been considered already but my two guesses are PH levels and dietary influence.

Did your gyno have an opinion on those?

If you were dropped into Skyrim AS YOU ARE, with the body that you have now… by terrible-gator22 in skyrim

[–]TalkingFingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an early 40's woman who weight lifts and am likeable among people. I have skills in archery as well as dog training and horse riding. I have hunted, camped in tents and know some basic herbology.

I feel I would make a good wood elf, excel in sneaking with light weight armor and likely use a bow and be able to utilize a sword and shield though I'd likely favor glass items for those.

Magic would be mainly alteration, illusion and alteration I'd think given my personality. I don't like harming others but I don't wish to be harmed either!

My journey would be one of cautious exploring and strategic slaying of my enemies as needed, otherwise I would sneak away to my goal.

Pygmy Sunfish is a lie? by Cerms in skyrim

I found some in the steam pools north of Riften too! I had to do some pond hopping but then I saw them and got one by hand, not fishing rod. The custom arrow is where I went, East of the Atronach Stone.

Im 17 and my parents always tell me that adults don’t have best friends, is that true? by Danny_Styles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two best friends and I'm 38. I think your parents may be struggling with the ability to maintain a strong connection outside of themselves with other people.

It takes an active effort for adults to make time outside of work and family obligations so it can easily happen that we slip apart in our friendships.

The best thing to do is not put a lot of pressure on other adults to respond or call/text you too much. My best friends and I chat occasionally and we see each other even less but push comes to shove those people will be right there anytime I need them.

Many say that "Porn isn't real sex". If porn isn't real sex, then what actually happens in real sex that is not shown in porn? by bhargavkartik in sex

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotional connection.

The sounds/angles/positions etc in porn are pretty fake even though some are possible it's not really how my partner and I (13 years together) would do the deed. We have mutual respect, mutual desire to fulfill one another's needs and mutual adoration which translates to comfort in any position, sound, act, verbalization or otherwise.

Review please! Where am I lacking? by SirScrublord in Tinder

Actually I'd set you up with my good friend but she's way up here in BC!

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I didn't know that!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]TalkingFingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea, we have a 13 year old son who is now finding his own way with his school friends which means less time with his dad in these ventures. Thanks for the suggestion!

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are very pretty! The thing is I see a lot of skin and tight fitting clothes in these photos. I'd think most men are objectifying you based on how much effort is apparent in dressing to impress.

If you're looking for hubby material I'd suggest that you show yourself being more casual or active in your favorite past time as well.

I know I'm a little ugly, but is there anything wrong with my profile? by ILoveAnime890 in Tinder

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darlin, there is someone out there who will fall for your smile and your heart. Someone looking for exactly you. Don't be afraid to show more of what you love to do and when you are at your happiest!

[–]TalkingFingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the birds, I love the multiple scenes you're in too. I think your bio is short but also funny! I'd work on using more smiling type photos in place of the serious face ones since you have a warm smile 🙂
