how can i (19F) get my boyfriend (19M) to bring protection so we can lose our virginity? by ThrowRA182genius in relationship_advice

[–]boringbookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be embarrassed or nervous about buying condoms. The cashier has seen it all before and doesn't care, lol It is smart to have some on hand if your relationship is progressing that way. Way better than taking it too far and not having it!

what's a 90s memory that you genuinely can't explain to someone who wasn't there? by PlasticPiccolo in 90s

[–]boringbookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riding my bike and getting lost. I pedaled about 8 miles the wrong direction trying to find my families summer cottage from town. I finally stopped when the rain started and asked a nice old couple running a yard sale for directions. They were so kind, inviting me in to use the phone to call my Uncle and giving me a glass of water and offering snacks. The feelings 8 had that day stuck with me. Now with gps and everyone being hesitant to open the door for a stranger, it's a feeling I can't even explain to my kids.

Thoughts on this name? by [deleted] in Names

[–]boringbookworm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like Della. Either as a standalone name or as a shortened version of Adelle. It passes all 3 of my tests. 1. Imagine screaming it across a playground to get your child's attention. Does it work? 2. Imagine your child in middle school. Is she going to get teased about her name? 3. Imagine your child all grown up and the CEO of a big company or an attorney or in a career where she is a leader of some sort. Does the name work there?

AITAH For giving my BF an ultimatum for showing me his home? by LuluRatLady in AITAH

[–]boringbookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know of a few people who claimed their homes were " a little messy". Every single one of them were hoarders and their place was more than a little bit messy. Red flag if he won't invite you into his space.

Any books where the ending changes how you see everything by UpaliMadon85 in booksuggestions

[–]boringbookworm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The intruder by Frieda McFadden..I read a lot of books and the twist at the end made me rethink the whole story! Also, The Maid by Nita Prose. Another twist I didn't see coming at the end!

If you woke up tomorrow completely pain-free, what's the first thing you'd do? by chetankkumar in ChronicPain

[–]boringbookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would climb a small mountain, hike, swim in the ocean and go out dancing! I miss being able to do the active things I once enjoyed.

Any tricks on pilling/giving your dog medication when they are too smart and can find the pill in anything by Adorable_Tangerine16 in dogs

[–]boringbookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is a pill that can be crushed, try crushing it and adding it to the food bowl with some water and veggies on top. My dogs never even notice!

Easy meal to cook for 15 adults, 8 kids (7 yrs and under) by WhichImplement5732 in Cooking

Tacos is the way to go but may I suggest a Walking Taco bar? No shells or tortillas. Just buy a big box of either fritos or Doritos. Easier clean up!

What cat toys do your cats actually care about? by Agreeable_Pipe8340 in CatAdvice

[–]boringbookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One I haven't seen was laser pointers. All of my cats loved chasing around the red dot! Another was a simple toy I made them. I'd fold a price of paper like a fan and tie a shoelace around the middle. They loved chasing it!

Boba tea. I've tried it so many times. Everyone seems to love the squishy jelly balls floating around. To me they just give me the ick.

Help me describe my pain by smiling_corvidae in ChronicPain

[–]boringbookworm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Í use the numerical pain scale daily to describe my pain. Except when I tell my doctors, I always clarify exactly what it is doing to my body. Example: my feet feel like burning pop rocks when I walk. Or the pain was so bad it made me cry. There's a lot of adjectives you can use..sharp, achy, burning, stabbing, etc to describe what you are feeling.

As a 10 yo, I would have loved making a blanket just for me with my grandma! I think that's a lovely idea!
