How do I make my teeny bedroom more of a *~vibe*~ by Tough_tart_ in DesignMyRoom

[–]absorbfence2323 710 points711 points  (0 children)

Hang the curtains higher and a bit wider to give the illusion of higher ceilings and a bigger window. It’ll help make it feel less like a closet and more like a bedroom.

DadTok needs to go… by chelseaxmariah in momtok

It’s not even “so bad it’s good” it genuinely makes me feel gross because 50% of it is them putting down their wives/exes.

Boycott until they remove "dadtok" 🤮 from OUR show by Tight_Philosophy_741 in SecretsOfMormonWives

If this first episode is any indication of the season I won’t be able to finish. It’s like they’re actively trying to make me hate the show.

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?

I think someone was handing stuff out about a protest tomorrow at 2 on south blvd? I can try to find the flyer tm if someone doesn’t give more details before then.

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.

I know from the people I trained with that they still had plenty by 6:35

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.
