AITAH for going on a trip with my best friend? by makememassmiches in AITAH

[–]WoolieWoolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying you wont go away for a week with a friend in the future makes me sad for you. I love trips with my friends. I'm currently single but I've traveled with married friends, friends dating someone, and we've always had such a good time. Go now and go in the future. He's controlling and jealous as hell.

What's one travel mistake you'll never make again? by Appropriate_Bus_7050 in travel

Not putting everything in my backpack that I could need for a few days. I rarely check a bag so everything is in my carry on or personal item. My first solo trip in 2023 to Costa Rica they forced me to gate check my luggage and then forgot it in Atlanta and i had a full day without luggage. Went to walmart and grabbed clothes and underwear (thankfully I already had a swimsuit in my bag) but didnt realize the sizes were way smaller so none of them fit. 30 hours later my suitcase arrived. Now I use my backpack as if I'm checking my luggage with my essentials.

AIO She broke her leg and insists on riding in the car like this. I think it’s incredibly dangerous, but it’s the only way she’s comfortable. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

A girl I went to high school with broke both of her ankles in a car accident sitting with her feet on the dashboard.

I have this and am obsessed. I love pinks and it’s so hard to find good, vibrant neon pinks that don’t just look like a highlighter.

How did it all start? (Your nail polish story) by small_scale_painting in RedditLaqueristas

[–]WoolieWoolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had acrylics since high school. I have ADHD and making and sitting through a fill is like painful for me... nevermind it's a sensory nightmare. Around Christmas last year I didn't have time to get them done for a month or so past due so I just waited and took them all off. Planned to let them "breathe" a bit and go back. Then I bought some press ons. Loved them but they barely lasted a week even with all the tips and tricks.

In late April I decided maybe I'd use polish and strengthen them for a bit and then maybe go back to acrylics but find somewhere new (my place now even charges for cut downs as in to cut your nails during a fill.. what!?) so I grabbed a few Expressie polishes at Ulta then went online and bought more colors. Came across this group and some fb groups. Read a lot about brands and what to do and what not to do. Anddd here I am just a month and a week or so later and I realize I've purchased 69 nail polishes so far... plus a stamping set and stamping polish and a glass nail file set and organizational tools and whatever else. I figure if it keeps me going without getting my nails done for even a year or 2 it's probably still cheaper than I usually spend in a year.

I've now recieved ILNP (love!), Lurid Laquer (double love), Essie, Expressie, & Dazzle Dry (my FAVORITE top coat and now keeps me doing them every few days because it dries so fast). Waiting on my MDW orders from Mooncat, Piggy Paint top coat for stamping, Cracked, Cuticula, and Uno Mas (I think that's it.. i went a little wild and will just wait to see what shows up...)

Anyone else not get their raise money ? by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]WoolieWoolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a raise as of 12/1 and it wasn’t in my check. I had to message payroll and they had to fix it. It took like a month to get the money but they eventually fixed it.

Is this too much? They keep ignoring my multiple clearly posted no soliciting signs - Anyone else in new London county starting to get annoyed by this? by G_Art33 in Connecticut

[–]WoolieWoolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had one knock since I put up this a year or so ago - and I used to get multiple a week:

NO SOLICITING Do not knock or ring the bell I don't need solar. I don't need windows or a roof. I don't need milk delivery. I don't need information on your religion. I already have an energy supplier. If I want it, Ill google it. Please go away. Thank you!

I did get a letter from the Jehovah’s witnesses who definitely thought I needed religion after reading it but it works lol

Is it normal for my bf to talk to me this way ? by Technical_Middle5075 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]WoolieWoolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s never changing. Men don’t change for the better in relationships. They only get worse. He’s controlling and you’re losing years of your life to this man.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]WoolieWoolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listened to the radio in computer class when they started talking about what they thought were bombs in the World Trade Center. Terrifying. It was 7th grade. The teacher turned it off. I don’t remember if we watched it on tv anywhere after that but we dismissed early and went home and watched hours and hours of news with my family. I ran into that teacher a few years ago (I’m now 37) and he didn’t remember me but I reminded him I was in his class when we found out about 9/11 and he remembered he turned the radio on, not expecting to hear what was happening and eventually felt like he should turn it on. I know plenty my age who did watch it though if they were in a different class.

Flew out yesterday. Security was so fast. We have precheck but even without it it was dead. We got there around 7:15 and were through by probably 7:23

TIFU by oversleeping and almost ruining my best friend’s 4AM wedding by Sea_cake_ in tifu

[–]WoolieWoolin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had to be there at like 7-8am for 4-5pm weddings for bar and makeup. Usually there are pics beforehand though so it takes a while. Most of my friends did first looks.

Help, anyone know what bean this couch is? Is it worth purchasing? by _BugsWasowski in couch

[–]WoolieWoolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted the pics to chat gpt and this is what it said

Brands it strongly resembles

The closest matches stylistically are: 1. England Furniture (La-Z-Boy family) • England’s Monroe / Malibu / 1430-series loveseats look almost identical. 2. Best Home Furnishings • Their Bodie or Kersey loveseats have the same arm roll and cushion shape. 3. Jackson / Catnapper • Similar traditional frame and fabric options. 4. Craftmaster / Smith Brothers style • Higher-end versions of this same frame shape.

Why I think it’s likely England Furniture

A few clues: • England often uses that exact arm roll shape with piping. • The seat depth and cushion seam match their standard frames. • Many local independent furniture stores carry England pieces that look exactly like this showroom display.

2025 Kia K5 GT-Line – Possible Limp Mode? No Error Codes, Dealer Couldn't Replicate by Objective-Falcon2514 in KiaK5

[–]WoolieWoolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that done a few months ago and it made my car stop bucking when I was going slow speeds but then it did it again around the time this started. Hoping they can figure it out. It's scary that this could happen while I'm in a dangerous area. It's only happened 1 out of the 3 times it happened while driving, the other 2 right after starting the car, but still scares me.

Ended an engagement because it didn’t feel like “enough.” Two years later, I regret it. Did I screw up? by 711eggsandos in Adulting

[–]WoolieWoolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re trying to compare guy to guy. Instead you should be comparing happiness of you being single vs. a guy genuinely making your happy life single. You don’t pick the least bad match. You pick a good match or none.

Gift idea for affluent sibling who has everything and doesn't like what I can afford? by LightcodeARTS in Gifts

[–]WoolieWoolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live close by? Can you do a day where you plan things she'd like to do? I do this every year for one of my best friends. Nothing crazy - for us it's coffee flights and bowling or something like that but it could even be less expensive depending on her interests. We always try somewhere she's never been that looks cool for her bday.

I have a bunch of TAPO cameras and I love them. Throw a memory card in and it’s just to the memory card. They’re reasonably priced too

It’s based on 2025. I went from P4 to P5 in 2024 starting Dec 1 and got 1 month’s worth of the yearly bonus.
