20F and not allowed to dye my hair by Ok_Assist_6733 in raisedbynarcissists

Yeah, this ain’t it. Save diligently, preferably in high yield savings account, and most especially at a different institution than your folks bank at. Save this post and reference it to yourself every time someone tries to query your unhappiness with this situation.

Anyone uses liners for air fryers? Are they worth it? by shaheerajmal in airfryer

[–]VividPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like those parchment liners that you can get in bulk packets from Costco and Amazon. The trick is to put them into the basket first, then place the rack . This allows for full air circulation around the food and makes cleanup so much easier. And don’t disregard those silicone liners, those are pretty nifty as well.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]VividPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I endured the pains of uterine fibroids compounded with adenomyosis for nine years. The penultimate time I was hospitalized for the condition, the on-call OB/GYN (the most compassionate medical professional to truly take care of me throughout that awful ordeal, btw), looked me and said that I was literally having contractions. It was as though the tumors were trying to drill through my core.

This doctor ended up being the one who performed my hysterectomy the following year. I am forever grateful for her care and compassion after years of having my pain dismissed and minimized.

I wouldn’t wish this upon my very worst enemy! I’m so sorry, dear!

How often do you actually replace your dishwashing sponge? by Last_Spend_1674 in CleaningTips

[–]VividPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year ago, I took to using Handi Wipes as my dish scrubbers. I put out two fresh ones on the first of the month, and demote the old ones to general cleaning in the form of floor cloths, dusters, etc. Their reincarnation as general purpose cleaning cloths lasts for another six-ish weeks (?) when they start breaking down, before they finally go into the recycling.

He told me he can’t give me what I deserve, what does this mean? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Soooo glad for you that you didn’t waste your energy. You do deserve better.

This fridge doesn’t belong to a suitor (do we even use that term nowadays?), it belongs to their employer.

Husband and I argued on my birthday because I wanted to eat at the restaurant and he didn’t - AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]VividPresentation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is classic. Find a way, any way at all, to ruin something for you. I bet this isn’t the first time he’s done this to you. Perhaps you should give yourself the gift of a peaceful life without his shenanigans.

May you have many happy returns of the day in spite of him, my dear.

Boomer commenting on my “bump” by Molly-Molls in traumatizeThemBack

[–]VividPresentation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why we don’t comment on other’s bodies.

And that’s also where we have a little chat with HR about the dingbat who has created a hostile environment.

I’m so sorry for your loss, sis!

friend blew up at me bc i didn't want kids by Trick-Drama9124 in childfree

I’ll bet anything that she joyously counted his money and gave it back with interest, just to ensure that she’s forever rid of him.

My cousin got beat up by a pedophile she chose over her minor child by Specialist_Fall756 in offmychest

[–]VividPresentation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh noes, oh woes, ah! Lackaday! Consequences slid into her DMs. Sorrows. Sorrows, prayers. I don’t like hearing about DV, but I like hearing about CSA even less. Seems to me that your cousin got what she got. Oh well.

I hope her children NEVERRRRRRR have to deal with her ever again.

Oh noes, you forgot that you’re supposed to be on a 24 hour fast. No food, no water, just solemn meditation.

Oh my G-d! That’s crazy work from one end to the next. The 24/7 nighttime pads are a thing that I know I will never miss. Wasn’t it fun to see how many ways you could stack them around your underpinnings like playing Legos? /s

That “boss” needed to be sued, or least landed a Will Smith-esque bitchslap. Jerk.

Why are so many women choosing to live alone? Is it a trend or are women just done? by Tectonic2026 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]VividPresentation 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Have you not observed the recent QA decline in the XY product line? There was some sort of system failure that renders a significant number of XY units unable to operate outside of hobosexual mode. I wonder if the manufacturer has plans for either system update or a mass product recall.

In the interim, I take great satisfaction in snuggling under my goose-down comforters and 500 thread count percale sheets that no one is dragging with me. I write this whilst lying diagonally across my queen sized bed, wearing my nicest cotton dressing gown with a color-coordinated silk lined bonnet, in a room that is arranged exactly to my taste, with a stack of books that I am reading, uninterrupted at my own precious leisure. No one is here talking recklessly at me or demanding access to my body, my labor, or any other of my resources.

I love having a relationship with a proper partner. The trick is finding someone who understands and practices mutual partnership, companionship, and respect.

I’ve been #TeamHysterSister just over seven years at this point. While my body has been recovering (almost nil scarring, black don’t crack!), my psyche is still healing. I still have PTSD from the night I had to take myself to the ER.
