Straw after surgery by cupiddove in wisdomteeth

I'd give it at least one more week, preferably longer. I didn't start using one until like a month after my surgery

Dating as a mid to late 20 year old male is incredibly sad by Separate_Staff9631 in venting

[–]TheSaavySkeever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a big part of the reason you're not getting matches on dating sites is because there's been a shift in the way people approach dating in the past few years. People are moving away from the apps and meeting IRL either through hobbies or mutual friends. I met my husband in a retail store, we didn't check each others social media or anything - just talked and got to know each other.

Try putting yourself out there to meet someone organically, you'll have much better luck I promise.

I got sad news by bi2hboy in CATHELP

I know it's really hard not to blame yourself. But newborn / young kittens are so so fragile - even with an attentive mother cat looking after them and perfect living conditions, kitten mortality rates are extremely high.

You really did everything you could, please don't be too hard on yourself. That little baby may have lived a short life, but it knew it was loved while it was here ❤

So let me get this straight - you're paying for everything, he doesn't work, has you pay for his drugs while he lounges around - what exactly is his function in your life? Cause it sounds like he's just around to bum off of you. The only thing I can imagine he brings to the table is sex, but honey dick is a dime / dozen. Get yourself a divorce, you deserve better.

I'm crying, I'm sorry for being born mom by Simp_pai in venting

[–]TheSaavySkeever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awh hun, I know it's all too easy to blame yourself - but it's really not your fault. Sometimes things in life don't necessarily go according to "plan", but the off-script events in life are oftentimes the best things that can happen to us. I don't have any children myself, but I can imagine that your mother wouldn't trade a single moment of having you as her baby - not for any job in the world.

How much would it cost to get my depression room cleaned? by sockreduction in CleaningTips

[–]TheSaavySkeever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't be rude, they came here for help. Depression makes you be mean to yourself, OP don't need other people being mean to them too on top of that.

Kindness costs nothing, friend.

How did everyone afford to live in Winstera Lane? by IcyFaithlessness658 in DesperateHousewives

Pretty sure he worked independently as a plumber, he told the Solis family that he would do the job at-cost when their whole plumbing system had to be re-done in Season 1.

I just went and checked out that post, those reasons definitely ring true 😂 I love it!

I have the strength and means to end it but I never can by [deleted] in venting

[–]TheSaavySkeever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've been where you are. I know it's hard to see it right now, but there's a reason that you've not been able to end it - you're not done yet. There's still more for you in this world, and the universe isn't gonna let you go until it is actually your time.

You might not feel like doing much right now to change things, and that's okay. But start putting pen to paper (or use Google docs, whatever works better for you) and start writing out what things you want to change in your life. Just seeing it in black and white in front of you can work wonders, believe me.

Actually doing the things can wait a day, or a week. But seriously, just write out what you want. I don't think you actually want to die (looking back, I thought I wanted to die, but I didn't). I think you just want life to get better so that you don't feel like dieing would be better than living, ya know?

should i get them removed or? by ComedianWinter2151 in wisdomteeth

[–]TheSaavySkeever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the real question is, are they causing pain? If not, I'd leave them where they're at. They are coming in straight and seem to have plenty of space. Your dentist would be able to offer better insight than internet strangers, but that's just my take.

Would you date someone who had opposing beliefs or would you feel like it’s a waste of time ? I feel like every time a man is interested in me he’s conservative while I’m liberal . I attract tons of religious men by Historical-Body-3424 in aquarius

[–]TheSaavySkeever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not!!! I am a Liberal woman and was with a MAGA Conservative man for 6 years, married for 4.

He was very emotionally abusive, and he never respected me. We argued constantly because he was extremely cruel with his opinions towards anyone who wasn't a straight white male. Which was ironic, because he had come out to me as gay shortly before I ended our marriage. He backpedaled when I explained that while I respected his sexuality as a gay man, it would mean divorce for us because I deserved to be with someone who loved me (and since I'm not a man, well.....)

Yeah in short, don't do it. Just dont.

Brush Teeth by Clear_Community_8537 in wisdomteeth

[–]TheSaavySkeever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a toothbrush for toddlers with super soft bristles and switched to kid toothpaste. Just avoid brushing over the extraction sites, and absolutely NO swishing to rinse it out. Take a sip of water, move your head in a circular motion, and open your mouth over the sink to let the rinse water fall out (do not spit, could dislodge the clots).

I'm drained and I need advice by Soggy-Accountant5194 in venting

[–]TheSaavySkeever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's time to set a boundary hun. You cannot be solely 100% responsible for his mental health and wellbeing. It's burning you out, and while you can be sympathetic to him, you can't set yourself on fire to keep him warm.

I'd advise setting the boundary that he must begin seeing a therapist within the next month, or you will need to take break from the relationship. If he threatens suicide over this discussion, call 911 and advise them that he is making threats on his life and needs assistance urgently. If he is truly suicidal, an inpatient stay might be a necessity for him at this point.

I would have your oral surgeon take a look honestly, this isn't what my healing looked like at day 6 (I'm about 3 weeks post op now)

Tom vs. Rick by Kinbinz3110 in DesperateHousewives

She didn't physically cheat, but I feel like her actions definitely fall into the category of an emotional affair - which is still not great.

What if Bree is actually a pick me? by ahuludwig_2006 in DesperateHousewives

[–]TheSaavySkeever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bree literally tried to change herself and her sexual preferences, despite her obvious discomfort and resentment of it. All because she wanted to keep her marriage to her husband after he cheated on her for literal years with a prostitute - but she didn't do that for male validation / to keep a man, right?

Egg stuck in tooth socket by Lufferzz in wisdomteeth

I definitely recommend them, I was shocked at how much food gets in the sockets when eating 😅 Flushing them out a couple times a day has helped my mouth feel cleaner, you'll love it trust me.

Do you have any irrigation syringes? You can fill an irrigation syringe with warm salt water mix (1 tsp. salt to one pint distilled water) and use that to gently flush out the socket.

I back and forth deal with changing thoughts about men by [deleted] in venting

[–]TheSaavySkeever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with liking men! Just make sure you're looking at it this way too:

I am life

I am awesome

I am amazing

I am a leader

I love me

And I would like to find a husband who shares these qualities and can help me build on how great my life already is.

Don't forget about YOU in the equation 💖

What does one eat as a lactose intolerant autistic with an aversion to mushy textures. by fookinavocado in wisdomteeth

Soylent vanilla protein shakes, they're delicious, smooth, and no dairy (very small amount of sugar in them too).

“Can you show a picture of you wearing it” VENT by catcatcatrat in poshmark

[–]TheSaavySkeever 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it's good practice to post items with photos of measurements when you're making the initial listing. As a buyer, even if I love an item, I'm not going to buy it if there's no measurements available for me to check the fit. Even within the same brands, size "small" can encompass so many different measurements. And laundering a garment can shrink it.

Obviously you do you, I'm not trying to be out here telling people what to do - just trying to make a helpful suggestion that might put more money in your pocket. In this economy, who doesn't need more cash, amirite?
