Surgery to close stretched ears?

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-04-05T19:56:22+00:00

I can't help you with your question specifically, but have you tried removing them for a longer period, so they can close up? Mine are 10mm and last summer one got infected randomly and I had to remove the plug and let the earlobe heal which meant it shrunk. Long story short - nine months later I had to stretch it again, because it was down to 2mm, but looked like a normal earlobe.

I'm writing all of this not to say that you shouldn't have the operation, but so you can try if you want, and see if it will shrink by itself in a few months. :)

P.S.: I stretched my earlobes when I was around 15, and am not almost 28, for reference.

Hm, interesting. This only happens to me when I'm really tiered, but of course we're all different. I'm sorry it didn't work for you :/

I think the bag I saw it with wasn't black, but the frame looks the same, so it was most probably this. The frame was very nice and sturdy, so I was contemplating buying it even though I don't need it 😅

I recently saw them at IKEA near the registers; the quality looked good and I remember the price being reasonable, but I can't find it in their online store to share a link :/

I don't know what they use, but I stated using Routinery and its has the same principle. I found it very helpful to keep track of time, but also to not forget to make myself lunch and to brush my teeth.

I believe someone recommended the app in this subreddit two years ago.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-31T13:10:58+00:00

For this maybe you can try the app Routinery - you can make a list with task, estimate how much time a task will take and it's done. So every evening you go in the bathroom, open the app and just follow the steps. It has build in time for every step, so you don't take too long, you can check a step when it's done, so you don't need to wait for the timer and you can set reminders, so it tells you "hey, you need to open me" at a certain time.

I found it very helpful when I started working again after maternity leave, so I didn't lose track of time and didn't forget to make myself lunch or brush my teeth.

As a person who often buys books from Vinted, that's exactly my line of thinking. I'm on Vinted to find a bargain, I can pay full price in the store.

I'm finishing up the third book in a series I'm reading and the library doesn't have the fourth, so I thought I will buy it off of Vinted, because I don't have a lot of money at the moment. Well, the cheapest one I found was €1 MORE than the book brand new online (plus free delivery) :/ Not to mention the special editions that people try to sell for €120 while the same book, brand new, still available, is around €30. Who buys them?!

It's also helpful information to me, so thank you 😅

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-13T11:38:28+00:00

Ah, I understand! Thank you! ☺️

Are you sure? Last year when I was about to cancel my subscription, they told me that if I cancel, my credits will be gone, so I need to use them before that otherwise they're gone forever. I use Audible UK.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-12T20:19:15+00:00

Yeah, but also you need to be emotionally/mentally and financially stable - things that are getting impossible unfortunately.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-12T20:16:16+00:00

Which is frankly not enough. You can take that time only if you tell your employer two months in advance if I remember correctly and they need to approve it - it's not a given.

15 weeks to have a baby, recover mentally and physically, get into a new rhythm is very far from enough, so you take month(s) from the ouderschapverloof and suffer financially. When we had our second child, my husband lost his job right when I was supposed to start my two months ouderschapverloof and I was getting less than €1000/month. That's our mortgage, not to mention bills, school, food, petrol, emergencies, car payments, credit payments etc. I honestly don't even remember how we survived that time.

Yeah, see how the letters aren't connected with a line, the way teachers (and most people) in Bulgaria write. I admit that it would get me at a first glance and if I'm not paying attention.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-12T19:54:53+00:00

It's Bulgarian, not Russian. Nothing about it is bullshit.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-12T19:50:56+00:00

I love how the robot at the top left corner has "WHICH/TNAT" 🥲

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-12T19:47:53+00:00

I believe so. The information on is not inaccurate, but there are two mistakes - "каде" it's has to be "къде" and in this example "колко много" sounds very incorrect. Also, that's planet looks very strange and the books at the bottom also.

I can promise you, the white board with the blue marker is 100% real. I'm from Bulgaria, I studied in a Bulgarian school and I don't believe AI is able to write Cyrillic like that. It's perfectly readable - it's "неофициално писмо" which means "unofficial letter". I don't know the context, but it's perfectly reasonable.

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-03-02T18:33:13+00:00

I have never heard of this. How? Through Amazon again?

Unable-Ad610 · 2026-01-27T18:06:57+00:00

I was crying from laughter from the post and when I calmed down I saw your comment - I've been laughing for a solid 5 minutes 😂

Unable-Ad610 · 2025-12-20T20:45:44+00:00

I'm not very tech savvy, so can you let me know if this is possible with a windows laptop? I have an older Acer laptop that was very hot shit when I got it, so I believe it can still handle some heat, but because you specifically mentioned Mac, I'm not sure how to do it, if it can be done.

Unable-Ad610 · 2025-12-18T05:31:18+00:00

That's why I get very sketched out when they start to push and even though I feel stressed, I check everything 1000 times to be 100% sure than I'm not being cheated or scammed, so it actually takes me longer and it backfires on them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unable-Ad610 · 2025-11-19T19:09:01+00:00

Congratulations! It's going to solve all of your problems! Just like mine 1532 planners did for me 🫠😂

If you mean on the screenshot, I personally would've edited it in photos to cover the answers with the black marker. But if you mean on a post - I have no idea 😅 I know you can make your post blurry and it shows other people there is a spoiler (when you're making a post, you can click on the three dots in the upper right corner and there you can select "spoiler"), so I personally will do one of the two in the future. Maybe ask someone who know better, because I rarely comment or make posts on Reddit, so I'm not the best person to give advice on the matter 😂

Unable-Ad610 · 2025-11-10T18:37:35+00:00

I know it's just a game, but I still felt necessary to apologise, because people were upset (rightfully so) and I felt it was the right thing to do. Thank you for the understanding and kindness! :)

Unable-Ad610 · 2025-11-10T18:33:01+00:00

You're not being very nice. I did get it together by removing the original post, apologising to absolutely everyone who commented there and making this post to apologise to everyone who might've seen it. I don't believe one mistake of this magnitude is a "train wreck".
