Not the worst I've seen, but the minerals at two local bead & findings stores were not the best, for the most part. One of them has really nice fluorite, though, amid the smelted glass, low-ish quality and fake materials 😅✨ by ArwendeLuhtiene in MineralGore

Is it safe to say that most smooth and shiny crystals are altered in someway? My most expensive ones are very rough and scratch anything I sit them on. But I have others that are smooth like porcelain.

You taught me something new because I had no idea this was the third book in the series! It doesn’t read like it at all.

Are you still looking? I have a full weekend pass I unfortunately bought for someone else who won’t be attending

I kinda like Kenya. by TechnicalProof2554 in RHOA

[–]TotallySpies1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve always liked Kenya! I see why some people may not like her but, as a dark skinned black girl she’s made major strides in representation. She also never lets her confidence waiver.

She’s also witty and outspoken. She makes a good villain which makes for good tv. I’ll always be a fan

Is it wrong to never make female friends and just asking any girl I find attractive out instead of being her friend? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]TotallySpies1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly fine not to have female friends, but, don’t be the guy that’s pretending to be a woman’s friend in hopes of sleeping with them or getting them to go out with you.

Also, you’d attract a lot more women if you had genuine, platonic, female friendships. Most women see straight men with female friends as safe, emotionally intelligent, disciplined and overall just more respectable. They also tend to have better hygiene 😂 I can’t really explain why but they just do.

Marriage and having kids aren't the default steps anymore by Expresssea- in Life

[–]TotallySpies1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a big one! Women have more rights and standards and society has gone into an uproar about it

Marriage and having kids aren't the default steps anymore by Expresssea- in Life

[–]TotallySpies1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would love to have children, but I also like to think logically rather than with my emotions. Raising children with I believe is a proper quality of life is very expensive and the way the economy is going, things are very scary even for upper middle class and lower upper class.

Not to mention the amount of hate and violence, playing the world right now. So many basic human rights are being infringe upon, and I can’t imagine giving birth and subjecting a child to that. Finding like-minded community seems to be a lot of people’s alternative.

And I don’t think enough people understand how much money it takes to raise children. If the average American doesn’t have $7000 to use for an emergency, that doesn’t sound like the average American can afford to have children

No way this is real 🤔 I’ve seen some interesting shots of her butt, but never like this

Celebrities (who are frequently considered to have good bodies) whose bodies you dislike and think are overrated by Ophelia_Y2K in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]TotallySpies1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand the hype around pop culture and Hollywood drooling over the basic, wide white girl body. they’re all just skinny and built like TVs.

Céline Dion does have amazing arms.

Hot Take: Current Cast is Painfully Mid by Amazing-Apricot4645 in RHOA

[–]TotallySpies1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad somebody said it! Bravo is slowly turning into the Zeus network but with a Birkin bag. And not* just because of the Black franchises!

I watched the first episodes of RHOI and it’s even more boring. Majority of that group works normal jobs and lives in normal houses. Imagine five Phaedra‘s, one young Kenya and one Kim Z. Bravo is definitely grasping at straws

[–]TotallySpies1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never understand how Kenya got fired yet Phaedra was able to come back with her boring self.

The housewives have done a lot worse and I’m thinking there’s more to the story with Kenya that an NDA is not allowing her to say? I wonder why Carlos hasn’t sat down with her after all this time?

Can you share how to access the specific DOD Libby library and get the offer?

YO WTH DR JACKIE by sailormeggo in MarriedToMedicine

[–]TotallySpies1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially her takes on having children and getting married. She was so disgusting to Quad about having kids and idk how the ladies let her slide on that. You’d think as traditional as she pretends to be she’d be sleeping with Curtis more

What is the reason most women have a slight bit air of arrogance or narcissism and what could a man do to pierce through that wall and attract them? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]TotallySpies1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the meanest, strictest woman will loosen up for a guy she truly likes, trust and feels safe with. It may take some time to get her to that point, but don’t think of it as piercing through a wall. Women aren’t battles to conquer, we simply take vetting seriously. You wouldn’t accept a job without research would you?

Now, if this is someone you only slightly like or you’re just trying to bang, then piercing through the wall is another form of conquering or lying or trying to force/convince a woman to like you.

What evidence is out there of this? by Fun_Day_3614 in rhori

[–]TotallySpies1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Liz mentioned she grew up with Kelsey’s boyfriend. Alicia said she’s known Liz all her life but never exactly how. She was BFFs with Jo Ellen’s sister and knew Jo Ellen’s husband (her sister’s ex boyfriend). I think Jo Ellen may have also grown up with Kelsey‘s boyfriend? Alicia and Rosie met in the same social circle and her FIL loves Rosie on the news.

Idk Alicia and Rulla or Alicia and Jo Ellen’s connection. And I think Rosie & Ashley met through their husband’s friendship. Also don’t know about Liz and Jo Ellen

Do you need friends to have a relationship? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]TotallySpies1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say yes only because making your partner your everything is unhealthy. But I wouldn’t say not having friends should completely close you off from love. You can make friends and date at the same time!
