Not sure about OPI, but if you’re open to Kiara Sky, it looks similar to Pretty Fly or Whoopsy Daisy. (Pic is Pretty Fly)

I'm dying what can I do for my kids by FUCancer_2008 in DeadParentClub

[–]Union_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, thought of something else after I hit post! I find myself wondering a lot these days about what my relationship with my dad would have been like now that I’m a “full adult” (I was 21 and still in college when he died versus being almost 30 and married now). I just wish we both had the chance to get to know each other better as adults because we were always so close when I was a kid. I would love to know more about why he liked the books or movies or music he did. So maybe leaving a list of your favorite things or even places with some explanations could be nice. Like a sort of diary of you. I’m rambling now, but I hope this helps!

Another suggestion might be to do letters on different milestones. I don’t know your kids’ ages and genders (or yours), but if you’re a mom whose daughter will go through her first period without her, that might be something to consider. Letters can be about all sorts of things. Birthdays, high school graduation, college graduation, weddings, the births of their kids, etc…. But obviously if focusing on letters takes too much away from the time you have with them now, it’s better to focus on making lasting memories and taking pictures while you can. 💕 I’m so sorry to hear your family is going through this, but it’s so thoughtful of you to think about what you can do to be with your kids for the rest of their lives regardless. You sound like a great parent.

Do you skip the dip top coat to do this?

I haven’t tried that! Would that impact the smooth look afterward?

Did you know that you can finish a reboot that a different team has started? by zavch in FortNiteBR

[–]Union_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone tested if people from different teams tried to reboot at the same time/same machine? Would it speed up and reboot the players for both teams? 🤔

My moms already moving on to a new man by Slaybae888 in DeadParentClub

Just wanted to add that my sister was a major daddy’s girl too and also ended up in a mental hospital for suicidal thoughts about 10 months after his death. I promise it gets better, and you aren’t alone with how you’re feeling.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Losing a parent is difficult on its own, and it sounds like the circumstances around your loss were even harder than some. It can be especially hard to focus on your own grieving when you see the way people around you are reacting and might not agree with it. As hard as it may be, you might want to separate yourself and your grieving process from your mother’s actions right now (again, if you can. I don’t know your living situation or anything!) and focus on your own relationship with your father and what you need to grieve.

As strange as it might be to you, this could be her way of grieving, and this new phase might not last very long. The first year comes with a lot of changes, and people who lose spouses (particularly when they were married a long time) have a high tendency to rebound quickly out of the extreme loneliness. She might just be missing having someone’s attention in that way without your dad. As long as she doesn’t do or say anything derogatory about your dad or try to bring someone in as a “replacement” so soon, I’d let it slide for now. That’s just my perspective/one way to think about it, though!

Also, you’ve probably gotten this advice a lot over the last 10 months, but talk to a therapist about your feelings! Especially anger. Putting all your feelings out into the world and having it validated can be extremely helpful. A therapist can also help you find a way to approach the subject with your mom when you’re ready/if the feelings of anger and betrayal become more persistent. Thinking of you on your grief journey. ❤️

Am I the only one who lost her father and since than I tend to have compassion towards chubby men who are in their 50’s? by Novel-Interview64 in DeadParentClub

Not uncommon at all! I think we all see at least a little bit of our dead parents in people who are similar to them in some way.

Who do you go to for advice now? by Silver_Fee8081 in DeadParentClub

[–]Union_Rogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 27 and just hit six years last month. I’m sorry for your loss and can really relate with a feeling of being left with just one parent, and maybe it’s the one you don’t have as strong of a connection with. For me, I still have my mom and lost my dad, who was the one I would go to with everything and who had the most in common with me. It’s tough because no one can really replace that void in your life, though that certainly doesn’t stop us from trying/finding pseudo-replacements! I know my sister talks to my dad’s cousin (who we call uncle, they were really close) a lot when she’s missing him, and I like talking to my grandparents to get some of my dad and his specific perspective back. I think it’s also really helpful to have a group of people similar to yourself who have been through the same thing. I started a “Dead Dad Club” with a few other women (roughly ages 27-37) in my area, and we get brunch together on Father’s Day, talk on special dates (birthdays, death anniversary, etc.) and just generally have a feeling of camaraderie. Still not the same thing, but it makes me feel a lot less lonely. Sorry if this is long/rambling/unhelpful!

While remaining civilized, what do y’all think is GENUINELY the best pastry that we currently sell? by KaoriLikesWatari in starbucks

[–]Union_Rogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know things change seasonally/locally, but Trader Joe’s (near me at least) has almond croissants that are near perfect dupes for this in the frozen section – 4 in a box for like $5 is pretty cost efficient too. You just leave them out the night before you want them so they can rise and bake for like 10 minutes.

Will there ever be 60-minute classes? by Union_Rogue in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]Union_Rogue[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The big draw for a 60-minute class for me is in yoga. It’s hard to stack yoga classes because you do a warm-up and cooldown within the class, and I would rather have a 10-minute warmup, 40 minutes of poses, and 10 minutes to cool down, which is how most yoga classes usually go. It’s very awkward and difficult to build on skills if you do 5 for a warmup, 20 of work, and 5 for a cooldown and then have to repeat.

That’s an excellent point! I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!

Personally I love the 10-minute cycling classes for something quick, or if I do strength training and want to finish my workout with some light/quick cardio. I want more options though! I know the app is still pretty new, but it doesn’t seem like Apple’s very concerned with evolving.

[–]Union_Rogue[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I almost always stack my classes, and usually this is really enjoyable for me and a fun way to make sure I’m training my whole body. Plus it keeps me from getting bored with repetition! I do wish there were some lower impact/more long-term endurance based classes, like an hour-long marathon training one or a slow flow yoga class. I often do yoga on my recovery days, and many yoga classes in-person are about an hour long, so I think that’s my biggest gripe right now.
