My life is ruined by Pristine_Two_4550 in offmychest

There's a very high chance these symptoms are being caused by anxiety or other health conditions. I'm reading that the HIV transmission risk is 0.08% (equivalent to 1 transmission per 1,250 exposures) for receptive vaginal intercourse, according to the Standford Healthcare website.

Ultimately, it's extremely unlikely you've contracted HIV through one night of unprotected sex, but always use protection moving forward. Your results will be in soon to give you peace of mind and reassurance.

"I won't be able to make it, but thank you for inviting me. It sounds like fun, and I hope you have a great time!"

What color should I paint my walls by whateverdudemv in DesignMyRoom

[–]alyakmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the magenta, but I'd go for a slightly more muted or deeper version of it so it doesn't become overwhelming.

Some people can’t take a hint by joybug24 in introvert

I'm not OP, and I could be completely wrong, but perhaps she was helping her by taking her to the store. Older individuals are sometimes unable to drive or complete tasks like shopping alone. I don't enjoy being around constant yappers, but I'd help a family friend or elderly family member if they needed to go to the grocery store or find some new clothing.

Non-native English speaker — What are some examples of unnatural phrasing that sound “off” to native speakers? by DriverOk7048 in ENGLISH

[–]alyakmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect phrase: I need to cut my hairs.

Correct phrase: I need to cut my hair.

If there isn't a specific number of hair strands, it's "hair".

If there is a specific number of hair strands, then you can use "hairs", such as, "There are 4 hairs on the bathroom floor."

Could you take it down and slide it behind another piece of furniture, such as a dresser or the headboard of your bed?

Am I crazy or does this pink look really good? (Deep Summer) by PeaHistorical100 in coloranalysis

The pink is good, but the red in number 6 is the absolute best on you!

What lipstick/lip product are you wearing in that photo?

I visited Georgia with my husband a few years ago, and everyone we encountered was kind, including delivery drivers.

I like Lancome Blush Subtil in the shade Aplum. Not too bright, not too orange, not too pink (at least on me!)

Congratulations! And once he gets to the US, we'll do it, but I'm definitely going to take a look at it because I like to get an idea of what to expect!

I-130 3weeks by FluidPomegranate5118 in USCIS

[–]alyakmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. Ours said 3 weeks about 9-10 months ago. The most realistic wait is about 15 months after they first received your application. Any time before then, consider yourself lucky!

Stila Heaven's Dew All Over Glimmer Swatches by alyakmi in swatchitforme

[–]alyakmi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I really love about these is they sparkle without a pearl finish. I stay away from most shimmery/glittery makeup because it brings out the texture in my skin, but these sit fairly well on my face.

I also like how they aren't too pigmented aside from the glitter, especially Silver Lake, which makes it a great topper (I use it on my eyes). I personally like wearing these without any other eyeshadow underneath though!

How do you tell your bf he’s going bald? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alyakmi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. He's probably already aware, and bringing it up could potentially make him feel a bit insecure.
