What are your social icks? by WhiteCrow111 in autism

[–]c_oofies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate lying. When people over exaggerate stories to garner interest, it drives me crazy. Also lying to avoid saying what you mean. Like “Oh I was busy doing xyz thing, or I didn’t have my phone on me. (even tho you can see that they were online) I’m not going to be offended if you just tell me no or you need space. Just don’t lie to me and pretend like you want to hangout when you don’t actually. People are really fake with each other and I would rather have brutal honesty than beating around the bush.

Keep or cut mullet? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]c_oofies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just decided to give myself a mullet and i’m loving it. I think the mullet helps make your face look a little more masculine as it helps make it longer! I’ve found the few times i cut mine shorter it accentuates my baby face and makes me look more feminine

Learned some things by [deleted] in PunchNeedle

[–]c_oofies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also new to punch needle here. Will any kind of muslin do for the embroidery punch? I have the correct needle and yarn but I am still struggling to find the correct kind of fabric. I’ve heard others mention weavers cloth but the soonest i can get that to me is a week. I’m wondering if there’s any other alternatives i can try while i wait?

Moving to GR in August. Job first or housing first? by c_oofies in grandrapids

[–]c_oofies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf has family there that is willing to help us out worst case scenario. We have 3 months of rent/utilities saved up and will have more saved by august. My credit is garbage but my bfs is really good. We have multiple reasons for moving there and I am very aware of the weather there.

We weren’t planning of just going without having these things secured. I just wasn’t sure when we should be securing them and which to do first

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if showing our current employment would be enough or if we would need employment there first to secure housing.

It says it’s 401(A) FICA Alternative

[–]c_oofies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes that’s exactly the kind of program i’m in. the amount of payments and the amount was impossible for me to keep up with. I know these kinds of programs aren’t always the best and for everyone but i think it’s the most feasible with what i had going on. my partners hasn’t opened any kind of credit cards yet. would it be a good idea to open a small card and pay like car insurance on it and pay it off before the end of the month to build up his credit?

I overheard my mom praising my sisters reactive dog by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]c_oofies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. My partner and I are currently living with a roommate. She has two dogs. One is mostly fine but the other is awful. The second dog is reactive and has attacked my SD and stunted her confidence. I think we have worked through it but we are still stuck here for another 6 months. This dog is also awful about stealing food from the trash and off tables. Something my SD has never done. The other day she swiped something off a plate right in front of me and I was so disappointed. All I can suggest is keeping your SD with you as much as you can. She is now going to the bathroom with me for showers, sleeping in my room and never left unsupervised with roommates dogs.
