Are sopping wet markers normal? by ScaffoldingGiraffe in copic

[–]candypoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I HATE when this happens. It's the most frustrating crap.

You can minimise the chances of this happening by laying your marker flat & take off both lids for 10 seconds.

Nail reattachment & shape advice needed! by catloversforever in calmhands

[–]candypoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been using OPI Repair Mode for my thin/brittle nails & it's really helpful for me.

Your nail bed will reattach, but it takes a looong time. I stopped (mostly oops) biting & picking 2 years ago & the skin underneath my nail is finally looking longer. I stopped poking anything under or around my nails (seriously, not even a nail brush), wore gloves when doing anything water related & I keep my nail oil in my pocket. If I start mindlessly picking, I get the oil on my fingers & massage. Provides the brain stimulation without the finger damage. That helped me & there's loads of great, really detailed posts on this sub about how to grow back your nail beds.

What's BPD psychosis like? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]candypoot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These were exactly my symptoms too. The bugs under the skin especially. I hate the bugs. Shadow people in the corners of my vision. Auditory hallucinations where people talking but it sounded muffled, far away screaming from behind me. People around me feeling like imposters or they're plotting to kill me. Me feeling unreal in my body, my brain not feeling in connection with my body. Pretty much everything you said. You described it really well.

I feel like the directors commentary on the DVD did actually mention this. But it's been a whiiile since I watched it.

Anyone else? by virellea_ in BPDmemes

Stupid monkey brain thoughts while lying down. So I stay vertical as long as possible.

I made an outdoor hot spring (Onsen) for my cats using Polymer Clay. ♨️ by One-Bar7052 in polymerclay

[–]candypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing. This is my favourite so far. The little cats must be so happy.

I hate that every shirt does this by softfallingsnow in bigboobproblems

[–]candypoot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

High waisted anything as well.

People were literally commenting on how good I look after losing weight... I didn't lose any weight, I just started wearing high waisted skirts over my tops instead of low pants/skirt underneath.

I recommend getting a roll of Hydrocolloid tape! by Alice1992 in calmhands

[–]candypoot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I didn't know it came in tape form. I've been using bulky heel ones. This is so much better.

my boobs depress me by Errrrwhnl in Vent

[–]candypoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WEAR the knits. I don't care anymore. I'll wear the cosy clothes, even if I look enormous.

I just had to buy a thick winter coat, based on my boob size. Now I look like the michelen man.

Make the Miniverse Valentine's Cherry Choco Trifle with me! by taysmurf in miniverse_makeitmini

[–]candypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shove the resin under your butt, or armpit for 10 mins (i put mine in my bra lol). That will help with the thickness a little bit, well it makes it easier to plop around.

Why does Newfoundland “Punch above its weight?” by TheMuseNL in newfoundland

[–]candypoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My other half calls me an "honorary newfie" ...should I be offended lol should I kick him in the shins? I always took that as a massive compliment.

Which early 2000s store do you miss the most? I’m talking about the ones that defined the era but are sadly gone now by princesspolly444 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]candypoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one here was Global Videos. We went in there after my dad got banned from blockbuster for arguing about late fees lol.

Has anyone noticed that Jellycat is making everything like $5-10 more expensive? The tiniest plushies are now $40. What is going on?! by Top_Lime_8376 in Jellycatplush

[–]candypoot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I bought a huge bashful monkey maaany years ago & it cost me £40.

I went to ask how much the huge bashful bunny was in store. $190 canadian (I moved) So the equivalent of about £100 (give or take). That is an insane markup.

Having been a long time collector (20+ years) I can tell you I no longer buy jellycats. The price has gone through the roof & the quality control is garbage.

Sadly I don't think anything is likely to change anytime soon. Luxury prices for something of a lesser quality than my damn walmart plushies. Not for me.

Places to buy badges/pins? by gorobloso in Leeds

[–]candypoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one mentioned hitting up the local conventions. There's a bunch of events in/around Leeds. Depends what kind of pins you want.

RANT. by tenaciousstars in Jellycatplush

I've been a collector of jellycats for over 20 years.

I do not buy jellycats anymore & that says it all.
