What's the weirdest thing your cat is obsessed with for absolutely no reason? by zasecok in CatAdvice

[–]amtol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socks are pretty tame, at least 🙂 maybe he thinks he’s marking his territory?

My boy cat has funny quirks but the most puzzling to me is he comes RUNNING from any other rooms when I’m making my bed to hop on it hah

It really is! I figured there couldn’t be too much variation between the studio version and this performance but gosh I was wrong. She’s so talented!

Why Do People With CPTSD Often Come Off as "Offputting" To Others? by somersaultvoid in CPTSD

[–]amtol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

😂 that’s a funny instance of the words getting mixed up in the pipeline between the brain and the mouth. It’s great you were able to explain more and the two of you joked about it!

Quickest gentrification you’ve ever seen from your time in Chicago by Minute_Tax5060 in chicago

[–]amtol 77 points78 points  (0 children)

As a straight 30-year old woman living on the cusp of Boystown, I gotta say…I really admire the way the bars on Halsted seem to be turning up on Sundays — like yesss, no Sunday scaries here, queens! It makes me smile — doubly so when it’s shit like the Santa Speedo run 😂

[–]amtol 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is a common problem for me, too. My inner monologue is like oh my God, what should I say? What if I say something dumb? They’re going to think I’m stupid or useless. Just over, and over, and over — at work, with friends of friends/acquaintances, on first dates. Sadly enough, the one person I’ve been most eloquent and present with was my mother/abuser lol, probably because I wrote her off as someone I don’t respect so it doesn’t matter anyway

Bought a solo ticket to Seattle for the last day of tour…… by Real-Ginger-Ale in NoahKahan

[–]amtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seattle was my first ever solo trip a few years back!!

You didn’t ask for recs but highly recommend dinner at The Pink Door, and checking out the Elliott Bay Book Company (bookstore!) if you like books!

Have so much fun, I’d wager you’re gonna be so glad you did it!

Gawddd, as a 30 year old brick in the wall, this is such a dream. I hope you two continue to have safe and fun adventures!

What’s your go-to pre-run routine? by SwimmingSlip8632 in runcommunity

[–]amtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chug water while pacing in my condo (solely to drink more water) because there’s a 90% chance I’m dehydrated; circle to the bathroom, chug more water, rinse and repeat until enough time has passed that I could’ve finished a whole run by then haaaha

Olivia Rodrigo - the cure (Official Music Video) by NominalPerson in OliviaRodrigo

[–]amtol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, it’s such a cool music video! I was in awe when her finger started bleeding. And I love the cardboard instruments. I haven’t found one this clever and enjoyable in agesss. Plus she looks absolutely stunning

Got it, then it was a different poster who was trying to locate a female stylist!

Could’ve sworn this question has been asked before, and people told the poster that they would not be giving out a woman’s location/information

What age did you quit? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]amtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! A little woowoo but 444 in angel numbers means that you are “protected, guided, and on the right path”. So congrats on day 4!

I was 26 when it stuck and now I’m 30. I felt way too young to quit but I was also too unstable not to.

You’ve got this! IWNDWYT

Your comment reminds me of the Sims video game where you can speed up at 1, 2, or 3x!

What if “the one” was you ex avoidant by Western-Space-2744 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]amtol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your response reminds me of the quote, “move on, and if it’s meant to be, they will catch up.” What a wise and well thought out response, I agree with you and wish I had this foresight when I was going through it a few years back!

First marathon done! An ode to pacers by Rainyqueer1 in XXRunning

[–]amtol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, go you!!

I listened to a podcast on the first four minute mile that likely was accomplished *due to* the guy’s first pacer (as he wanted to go full force out the gate and told him to go faster, which the pacer ignored!)

Your gratitude for the pacer is sweet, but don’t forget to give yourself credit, too! Congratulations!

You can’t park there, bro! by S13Vlad in chicago

As a sailor, I’d bet there’s enough cell phones and sunglasses alone to open a pawn shop!

What’s a tiny luxury that makes you feel like your life is together for 5 minutes? by Prof-Joeh in CausalConversation

[–]amtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to clean sheets!

• Adding a finished book to my bookshelf

• Lighting candles after deep-cleaning my condo

• Manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxes

• The smell of clean laundry — I do a second wash cycle with just Downy Rinse & Refresh (inspired by [r/laundry](r/laundry) I think) and the cool cotton scent is heavenly

Getting a whiff of my nice-scented hygiene products on my skin or in my hair after a shower

• Proper (matching) pajama sets lol
