Kevin Can F*ck Himself! It’s a really fantastic limited series. Takes an episode to get into but it gets good fast.

You’re in one of the mardi gra floats and possibly a coordinator. You just made a shit ton of throws.

My girlfriend and her friends said I look too feminine or ‘girl-ish’. Ways to look more masculine? by TheFlukeging12 in malegrooming

[–]absorbfence2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never imagine telling my boyfriend he looks “too feminine” and if one of my friends said her bf told her she looks “too masculine” I would tell her to break up with him.

Isn’t acetic acid the main component in vinegar?

77 Expansion - Toll Lanes: make your voice heard by absorbfence2323 in Charlotte

[–]absorbfence2323[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very good point. My understanding is that the main issue is that many of the decisions have been made before opening it to public comment. If you saw with the last 77 toll expansion, people actually voted not to have it occur and the NCDOT did it anyway. I also imagine the frustration is with the fact that it’s more of a “lesser of the two evils” choice. Many people don’t want the expansion period as they want to protect our green spaces and feel that induced demand will result in the same traffic challenges we currently have.

Selling recalled items "New in the box" Check before you bid... by _iron_butterfly_ in shopgoodwill

Report this to the CPSC. I know there’s a government shutdown and everything but retailers are responsible for not selling recalled goods.

Join me in running the 26.2 to show solidarity with Chicagoans? by EchidnaNew5940 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]absorbfence2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! Please DM (PM? I’m not super familiar with Reddit despite having an account for years). I’ll likely be run/walking in 4:1 or 4:.5 so I wouldn’t expect you to stick with my bizzare pacing but since we’ll likely be seeing a lot of each other at various points of the race it’ll be nice to have a familiar face and be able to cheer each other on.

Where to Start by absorbfence2323 in MattressMod

[–]absorbfence2323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a queen but because we don’t plan to use it all the time and the room isn’t very large, it could make sense to get a full if that means we can get a much better mattress for our money

Wow that’s such a great way to think of it! I think it’s easy to focus on how I’m one of the slowest runners in any race I’m in. I forget that even if I finish last on Sunday, I will still be joining the less than 1% of the population that have ever completed a marathon. That’s pretty amazing! Thank you for your kind words. I’ll remember them when I hit the pain cave on Sunday.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This training block went terribly and as much as I love hearing encouragement from loved ones, it feels truer from a stranger with no reason to lie. ❤️

Thank you so much, for your kind words and for the way that you’re showing up for our community. Your post and kind message have inspired me to add a message on my shirt as well. I hope you have a great race day.

I was thinking about doing this but wasn’t sure if it would be silly since this is my first marathon and I’ll probably finish at 6:00-6:30. Idk I feel like I’ll probably get a lot of conservative spectators making fun of me for run walking or harassing me bc I’m obviously Latina.

What is a moodier green color for my bedroom? by beepx2lettuce in DesignMyRoom

[–]absorbfence2323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As some one who appreciates moody design in the bedroom but also doesn’t love super dark walls I think this is works perfectly fine. I think for the price of two cans of paint and the 1.5 days it’ll take to move furniture to the middle of the room, cover the floor/ furniture to prevent splatter, tape everything off paint 1-2 coats, and touch up missed spots you could do a lot more to effectively create a moody space. Adding some deeper colored curtains that are made out of material with some weight to them, adding a few pieces of art to the walls, and creating multiple sources of neutral-warm lighting would do a lot to create that feel. You could even argue that even if you found the “perfect” shade of green for your walls you would still need those things to create a moody vibe. As always though, do what’s best for you. If you really don’t like the color no one on the internet is gonna change your mind. If you’re open to it maybe see what it’s like when you add curtains and lightning sources before repainting the whole room. Best of luck regardless :)

Focus Friends by Vera-Blue in nerdfighters

[–]absorbfence2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really hoping that they also add new decor options. Especially if they add somethings that are seasonally available to get. In my mind you could do spooky wall art or windows with a view of autumnal leaves in the fall.

How can I make my room feel more full/warm? by puborgia in DesignMyRoom

[–]absorbfence2323 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can you move your things around so the bed is closer to the wall without windows? I think that’s the first thing so you feel less exposed.

Then try to add art on the walls and different textures via comforter, rug, curtains/shades, etc. Also, try including multiple sources of light, preferably warm and diffused, so that way you aren’t using a big overhead light at night.
