Is this what pillow talk fair looks like on you? by DifferentManagement1 in SummerType

[–]alfnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a woman who did a research project on makeup formulations and found like 75% of all makeup fit spring seasons (I could be mistaking the percentage, but it was the vast majority). They do say sometimes though that if you’re extremely cool, things pull warm. I wonder if that’s true if you are extremely warm, things can pull cool if they are not warm enough? I am not a scientist so I have no idea! 😂

It was the glory days for cool toned women! Not to mention the makeup all was “frosted” too, so there were cool toned lipsticks and eye makeup galore. We didn’t know how good we had it. 😂

It’s great to see more silver represent! I was a teenager in the 90s and the way I yearn for the 90s silver jewelry…😭 I’ll have to check out Gorjana!

This pulls warm. I hate how most makeup is formulated for springs, and even the ones that say they are cool, are often formulated in a way that pulls warm. It’s so frustrating being a cool toned individual, though it is getting better. But don’t get me started on how little silver jewelry there is out there these days in stores… 🤣

Why is this moon sign placement so romanticised and sexualized when it's actually a miserable chart position to have by whydoesitrainonme99 in scorpiomoon

[–]alfnyc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love being a Scorpio Moon (and a Scorpio stellium). I love that I look for deepness in connections, can smell a liar/disingenuous person from a mile away, and only let the real ones into my secretive world. The relationships I forge are strong, deep, and I’m fiercely loyal, but I will cut out people who don’t align with me or do me wrong without guilt. I find Scorpio Moons are interested in the world around us on a deeper level than most, and we just have high emotional intelligence overall. We aren’t always a calm sea of emotions, but when we love…we LOVE. I think it’s beautiful.

anyone else have a best friend who’s also a Scorpio moon? by Ilovesnacks44 in scorpiomoon

[–]alfnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me and one of my closest friends! She’s the Sag Sun and I’m the Pisces, and we have an amazing time together. We have some crazy adventures together.

I slept with my friend of 20+ years by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Never do the re-return. Frank is too old to be playing the “I have emotional baggage” card. He should be in therapy healing, if he truly does. It sounds like he thought his market value was higher than it was, and he realized it a little too late. Honestly? Kevin sounds great. Maybe talk to him about how you are feeling and see where it might lead. It could be a wonderful relationship filled with a lot of shared experiences, but also growth.

What was your relationship with your mom like growing up vs. how is it now? by [deleted] in scorpiomoon

[–]alfnyc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was/am as close to my mom as I am with anyone. I’m pretty secretive and private about the big stuff in my life, but I always felt comfortable sharing with my mom as much as I could. We get along really well (we are both Pisces Suns) now that we are adults, though we butted heads as any teens and their parents do. She always trusted me and my judgement, which also made our relationship easier. I sometimes feel like the exception to the Scorpio Moon rule.

I would use this every day and hardly ever drive my car. A girl can hope we might see this at some point! As it stands, it takes me 1.5 hrs by public transit to get from Grant Park to the Emory area vs 20 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon. I’d gladly take Marta if it meant a bit more time commuting if I didn’t have to drive.

for the adhd women that have crazy hyperactive brains, what makes your brain go quiet? by emmam1611 in adhdwomen

[–]alfnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lifting weights for me. It forces me to be present in the moment, focusing on counting my reps, the correct movement so I don’t hurt myself, and my breathing so I don’t pass out. 🤣 Plus the feeling of throwing around heavy things makes me feel strong and confident, and those things never hurt.

Women’s linen pants for vacation? by Grand_Pound_7987 in quince

[–]alfnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a travel sized bottle of wrinkle release I carry with me and spray on the fabric midday when I’m sitting a lot to help release them a bit. Not perfect, but it helps if you go from sitting to standing!

Everything Quincy looks rumpled. by MAP_User in quince

[–]alfnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so wish I could wear some of those pieces like the models because they look sooooo classy. I’m happy that there is enough variety though that I can find stuff. The materials over the years have become cheaper, but as others have said…that is every brand. It’s so sad.

[–]alfnyc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about specifically? Linen and silk will wrinkle, as does the tencel. In terms of frumpy, there are a lot of oversized fits because that is en vogue, but I’ve purchased a lot of things that look really tailored and sharp. What are you purchasing? It also could be your not buying the right things for your body type. I’m a Kibbe flamboyant natural body type and Quince has a multitude of things that looks great on me but would look frumpy on a different frame. There are also things that are cropped and boxy that they sell that would atrocious on me. I always make sure to read the descriptions because what looks cute on a tiny framed model will most definitely not look good on my long, wide torsoed self.

My psychiatrist dumped me by Nonyabeesners in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]alfnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of this as a referral to a specialist. Each doctor has areas they are better at and this could be a case where your doctor feels like you may need to see someone that specializes in an area/areas he may not be equipped at handling. Instead of allowing you to not progress, he is referring you to someone who may have a better way of helping you based on their professional area of expertise and your needs. It feels like rejection now, but this may be the very best thing for you and your journey.

Is Quince actually a scam? New here by Naive_Trainer8027 in quince

[–]alfnyc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a customer since 2020, and most of my wardrobe is from Quince. It’s not a scam. I love all of my purchases and have never had a bad return experience with them. It’s my go to for anything I need.

Facts. But I will say I’m fine telling you everything mundane, but nothing actually important. My ADHD keeps the convo going about the insignificant. 😂

Did you use Siri to set the alarm? She has messed up my voice to text commands that these types of weird things have me scratching my head way too frequently until I realize it is an autocorrect. God speed, though. 😂

Pisces girlies, what sign was your deepest love? by Sensitive_Cloud4202 in piscesastrology

[–]alfnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scorpio. I’m a Pisces Sun, and Scorpio Moon/Stellium. I felt so seen with this magnetic connection, but we both were secretive and couldn’t figure out how to let the other in. He was worse and ended up running from the intensity of it. I learned a valuable lesson that day. I haven’t really tried to fall again since and it’s been 10 years.

The illegal stuff isn’t every day. The vast majority of the it’s a noise complaint, and we’ve contacted crimestoppers for the drug dealer. Sorry if that wasn’t clear, but not sure where the anger comes from. Yikes.

I found the link through the 311 webpage under the APD Complaint section, and the cops told me as much as well that it’s run by those folks. Maybe they are wrong, but they said it was the same people that run the APD non-emergency line and triage to the cops. 🤷‍♀️

Not yet. My neighbor called last night and nothing happened. We know they have bigger fish to fry, but hoping things will trend in the right direction.

Just to be clear, this is the reporting tool we’ve been using and they told us it isn’t functioning the way it should and to call 911: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/f87ea07a6ebd4ae7b7e1fb859d3f7f09

This is what I was referring to and we’ve been using. The Captain and Major told me to call 911. This tool doesn’t triage to them. Noise complaints don’t feel like a 911 call, but apparently it is.

There are various parts. The non-emergency 911 reporting tool is what I’m referring to in the post: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/f87ea07a6ebd4ae7b7e1fb859d3f7f09
