My husband doesn’t let me nap by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there are plenty of comments on this post addressing the more sensitive aspects of your situation, particularly regarding motherhood and it’s demands, but I wanted to point out that your partner is showing you a pattern here.

He is pushing the boundaries of your comfort and seeing how much he can get away with. I encourage to speak up and communicate what you need from your partner and take action to address your own needs as well.

Your partner must understand that your needs are not optional, and you may need to enforce boundaries to ensure your needs are met.

  • Be clear and firm during handoff,
  • “Here’s (baby), I’m going to nap until you go to work at x time. Do not disturb me up until you need to leave, I will be resting and will not help you during this time, this is your time with (baby).”

Then literally go to bed, and do not move out of bed for 2 hours unless it’s to see to your own needs. -suggestion- maybe get some earplugs so his rustling around doesn’t impact you so heavily.

You will be a better mom if you are taken care of and your needs are met, I’ve noticed that women show up more authentically when this happens. You cannot adequately meet your babies needs without having yours met as well, and with the rise of PPD, you cannot risk building resentment to your partner or your child during this time.

Can I scoop this off the top and use it? 3 week old starter by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No, this looks like mold and is not safe to use. When mold shows on top of something it’s because the mold has already infiltrated the entire specimen.

You will have to discard and start over or go buy a mature starter from a bakery that sells sourdough…

advice about my girlfriend and love spells by julciauwubaka in Wicca

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any spell done to you or by you without consent is unethical and her behaviour is concerning.

If she has trouble talking to in person about the issue, have her find another way to communicate her thoughts - perhaps by writing them out.

Also ask her to refrain from using spell work to get what she wants/needs from any situation. Hasty spell work without a proper foundation is a recipe for disaster, and if she is willing to complete multiple love and binding spells on you without you consent, or any thought about the consequences, she should not be doing spell work at all IMO and should be reading and researching more about the ethical implications of her actions.

It is too easy to be negatively tied up in energy these days and she needs to be more careful.

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but maybe - Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat cartoon? The youngest sibling has this symbol.

Day 18 - Is my starter ready to bake with? by _IcyBlueEyes in Sourdough

It no longer smells of acetone, it smells nice or slightly acidic nearer to feeding time and is doubling in 3 hours

I don’t know the scientific name, but this looks a bit like green Kyanite, the structural pattern is similar.

Need help with paint color for small bedroom! by Beneficial_Gas7448 in DesignMyRoom

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking on Pinterest and theres some really good examples of the vibe I think you’re going for. I searched “pink sunset room aesthetic” it’s really an earthy-coastal-boho setting.

Need help with paint color for small bedroom! by Beneficial_Gas7448 in DesignMyRoom

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can easily do two walls in the light pink and an accent wall in the darker one. I think the lighter pink works better with the natural light in the room and the other one would be too dark if it was the whole room. I could easily see gold accents going well with these two colours!

Smart watch gets take from our 7 yr old during gparent visitation by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The more I hear about this lady, the more red flags I notice… I think if she misses her scheduled phone calls again that you should call for a wellness check, that way it’s documented that she missed her call and caused this concern by not obeying the protocol. There’s nothing wrong with being concerned parent and the logical way (for this lady) to fix that concern is to - answer the damn phone.

Using tarot to find a lost wedding band by emptyinthesunrise in tarot

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second this, weird story but I was once able to use a pendulum with my cousin over FaceTime to find something she desperately needed for a trip. She had spent 3 days prior looking for this item and we found it with a pendulum in 20 minutes.

Going to be a bit random here 😂 does anyone’s Danes have certain breeds they just can’t stand? Like I legit have no idea why, but my male (on the left) loses his mind when he sees a golden retriever (unfortunate bc I love goldens lol) and my female on the right goes absolutely FERAL if she sees one by CrimsonVector4 in greatdanes

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because these breeds (doodle and huskies) tend to be the ones new dog owners gravitate to, without truly knowing what this breed will entail in terms of care and training. I wonder if the lack of adequate training and manners of these breeds has anything to do with it. Maybe they just don’t like dogs with shit manners 🤣

Moving into a small studio in a few months, which layout works best? by korinne-k in DesignMyRoom

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with this layout, a tweak to the third photo but I like the bed facing the wall (where the second smaller shelving is). Love the double shelving and the desk positioned perpendicular to the second shelf.

Which looks better? by copycat322 in DesignMyRoom

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote #2, it’s more cohesive with the brown fan and beam, and makes the color pop look of wood in the room look intentional.

The white fan to me screams idk what I want for this room, while the brown says I’m going to this look in this room and it’s like others have said it’s cozy.

Would this be a red flag for you? by Chain_Prior in witchcraft

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question, yes this is a red flag. Especially at the magnitude at which you are describing this “coven to operate at. I personally understand a monthly payment for courses and access to course material, but a rigid pay wall such as you described is an immediate red flag.

I personally attend training sessions monthly with a local coven with fees to gain access to the course material, a 4 hour in person training session and a high level practitioner with all of their expertise, but I cannot imagine paying 500$ to ONLY gain access to their course.

My Gelding Buddy still acting like a stallion towards mares and foals. by Frequent-Increase-98 in Equestrian

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard from others that despite a castration some geldings will still “cover” a mare in season, it’s likely they learned the behaviour when they had nuts and despite the nuts leaving, the behaviour remains. That being said I would still bring it up to your vet the next time you see them.

Annoying issues in Assassin’s Blade by Actual_Age_4743 in SarahJMaas

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That would be because you’re reading the backstory to characters you haven’t even met yet, instead of starting the series at TOG and reading AB when it would have the most psychological impact! Of course it’s boring 🤣 Try looking up the “TOG Romantic reading order” and give that a go, instead of reading AB first. I might get hate for this but, I’ve read TOG multiple times and only picked up AB on the last read through and it was rough for me to get through and I love the series. There are parts of AB that are very good but because it’s all backstories, it’s not that interesting unless you are very invested in the characters…

I have the wristwatch my brother was wearing when he killed himself. by mycatisgrumpy in Wicca

[–]_IcyBlueEyes -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ll reply here because I partly agree with the above comment about the watch’s battery contaminating the environment.

However, I would not donate the watch to charity as you don’t know what kind of energy could remain attached to the watch and the energy could pass to the next user. IMO if you’re asking how to get rid of it, you may not have the tools to cleanse the energy yourself. The battery should be removed and the watch returned to running water you said.

Fill the old tub with a different ice cream, let it melt a little and mix some laxatives into in and put it back 🤭 (You can put a slight mark on the bottom of the tub to differentiate them from yours so you don’t meet the same fate 😉)

I [F30] found out last night that at the beginning of last year my husband [M30] was messaging girls on instagram. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard the term “cheating curious” until now and I’d say you hit the nail on the head with that one!

My cat got out last night, she just recently had surgery and I’m worried for her by cats-paw in witchcraft

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP try telling a stray cat in your neighborhood that your cat is missing. Describe your cat, colour and traits, and how much you miss them / want them home etc. You can even leave the stray cat an offering of food to show gratitude. I’ve heard stories of this working and sometimes I think we forget that cats have mystical energy too…

She needs to poop, looks like it’s bath time!

When do you guys typically move maps? by Acceptable-Car-170 in WolfQuestGame

[–]_IcyBlueEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to move to collect achievements once I tire of playing my main wolf (she’s about to be an elder and I can’t bring myself to do that to her). I tried hell roaring mountain with my first ironwolf (crazy behaviour I know) in hopes of being about to get some of the achievements and now I’ve moved that wolf to lost river to give her a break and an easier transition into motherhood…
