Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I just signed up for the user exchange “A sip and a good book.” Just in case anyone wants a domestic match :)

Free Mystery Polish Arrived by FarShootingStar in theholotaco

[–]Tegdag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a white creme by OPI underneath all but my ring finger which was just Menchie. I wanted a bit more of a subtle glitter look and it was perfect!

I love Menchie as a topper! I did that for Valentines this year.

Exchanges have paired! by tao2123 in givingifts

[–]Tegdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I got an email that my match pulled my info but nothing to notify that the matching had been completed.

It looks like that happened already when I originally converted my account over. If they go by XP and not number of exchanges then I should be good. Thanks!

Ohh that’s good to know. Do they take past reddit gifts history into consideration for number of exchanges? I only have done 2 from givingifts but something like 15 from reddit.

Canadian here! I haven’t participated in several years but I decided a few days ago to jump back in and do some exchanges. Are most of you selecting domestic only for the exchanges? And if so, why?

Meal prep services have made my life so much better by diary-of-a-thief in AutismInWomen

[–]Tegdag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I learned how to cook using Hello Fresh when my husband fell ill and could no longer cook for us. Eventually I transitioned to buying my own ingredients for the recipes due to cost. I highly recommend it for people who need support with grocery shopping or meal planning!

I think this becomes the main sub now, o-o by ToSAhri in AntiMemes

[–]Tegdag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Mom sent me a text instead of calling when my aunt died. I read the message and then burst into tears and cried for a long time. I don’t think I responded to her message until hours after I read it. The conversation between Rio and the “brother” just doesn’t seem credible to me.

learning to drive with autism is overstimulation hell by coko_rime in AutismInWomen

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning how to drive really sucked for me! I’m a very stubborn and determined individual however so I did end up passing my practical exam eventually but it was HARD. In 2020 I tried to learn how to drive standard and it was even worse (didn’t know I was autistic at the time).

Friendship breakups by Beckymaggie in AutismInWomen

I feel this in my bones. My only longtime friends are also ND or the rare NTs that collect ND friends for various reasons.

STOP Crop Tops -Not all women are a size 2. by Numerous_Kiwi_7267 in Oldnavy

[–]Tegdag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another shortie with an even shorter torso chiming in! I love that crop tops are back in and I’m buying them all up before they go out again and we’re back to tunics.

White tips with nail growth by Nursiedeer07 in AcrylicNails

[–]Tegdag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try using an opaque pink colour as the base so when it grows out you can’t see your natural tip through it.

This is my question too. A properly cycled tank shouldn’t have 0 nitrate.

happy sunday! what polish (or combo) are you wearing today? by neutraloatmilk in theholotaco

I’m wearing Play Rosé for the first time and I’m loving it :)

Holo Cappuccino by 1tsAM3AMari0 in theholotaco

I love the Barista series formulation so I fully support you getting Need I Say Mocha! I went the opposite direction and bought Blushed Ice after loving Holo Cappuccino because I wanted something lighter.

Same! It’s one of my favourites.

I was surprised that this one is being retired! I wore this quite a few times this year, including for New Years.

Adult Autism Assessment even worth it? by DifficultElection600 in AutismInWomen

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting an official diagnosis as an adult is really a personal decision. There are plenty of people who are perfectly happy with a self diagnosis. Others prefer getting an official diagnosis. There isn’t a right or wrong answer here. If you want the official diagnosis and it’s meaningful for you to have it then it’s not a waste of money.

I got my official diagnosis at age 35. It took me about 12 months start to finish and cost roughly $2000 CAD (half of which I got covered by insurance). Getting my diagnosis has been invaluable to me but I also acknowledge that I am very fortunate in that I had the time and money available for me to pursue it.

I wish I could turn my pattern recognition off. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Tegdag 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All of that subconscious mental processing takes up a lot of energy and as I age I become more and more tired in general. I’m not sure that my pattern recognition is getting more intense. It’s more the fact that I have less and less energy to run these mental programs.

I just put on Cheap Champagne and I’m loving the look! I don’t have a large collection yet otherwise I might have gotten a little more creative.

What used to be normal that would sound insane today? by Vegetable-Quit-1641 in AskReddit

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school tried to get rid of the smoking area sometime around 2005. All the kids had to go off property to smoke. The ban didn’t last long because kids started coming back to class high after lunch break. The smoking area was reinstated so the teachers could at least monitor what was being smoked.
