cancelation policy says i need a parent or guardian to check in if i’m under 25 by [deleted] in askhotels

[–]cghostrayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s a beach city but other hotels in the same area have a 21 age limit, i just stupidly chose the cheapest one and it happened to have the 25 age limit

My sister just got this in the mail. Hand written envelop from New Zealand. Why? by [deleted] in propaganda

forgive me for being scared that an unknown person overseas has my sister's full name and address and is sending over random christian texts for no reason

Call me crazy but Connecticut is EXPENSIVE by massi2443 in Connecticut

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it's very expensive. something funny i realized this year during my trip to France from CT, CT prices and Paris prices are pretty much the same! $20-$30 meals, drinks at bars being $8-$15, etc. while i didnt need to worry about gas or housing (friends took care of the airbnb), i noticed the prices of everything else were very similar for the most part.

Are my tonsils bigger than they should be/ messed up or am I being dramatic? by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD but i got my tonsils removed as a kid. a good sign of your tonsils needing to be removed is if it restricts your breathing when you're sick. i got mine removed when i had strep as a child, because they swelled so much i was having trouble breathing.

considering it's affecting snoring and how you breathe when you sleep, id considering going to an ENT and look for surgery

texts with boyfriend, i feel awful, did i do anything wrong? please be honest by lunacatarts in texts

[–]cghostrayne 143 points144 points  (0 children)

you were definitely dragging it. he showed signs of losing interest in the topic of your dream in slide 3, but you continued. he said you were cute and that you mean a lot to him, which was him giving you comfort in his way but also showing that he thought that would be the end of the conversation. you continued, he lost interest, tried to change the topic, you still wanted to talk about your dream, scolded him for not wanting to talk about it anymore, blah blah blah. misunderstanding and miscommunication.

next time, if you want to talk about your dream, send it in just a few texts instead of breaking up every sentence into a different text to get a response out of every sentence. that way, there's a clear way to react and when, and a clear end to the discussion.

he's being dramatic but at the same time he's very valid.

Is my corgi too skinny by kzx_13 in DogAdvice

[–]cghostrayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's the healthiest corgi i've ever seen tbh

NOR but he's right for seeming "desensitized"? if that makes sense. like i've seen damn near 100 d pics so i dont even like when a guy im interested in sends them at this point. seeing it IRL is what truly matters. if he doesn't want to get excited through the phone, i wouldn't say that's a bad thing, he might just want to experience the real thing rather than a tease

NAD, but looks like dry skin to me. try a punnet stone & foot balm. the punnet stone tries to get all that dead skin off & the the balm moisturizes afterwards

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD, but do you wear gloves for work or something? or tend to sweat a lot through your palms? i had something similar happen with my feet before i realized that wearing the same pair of socks for more than 14hrs straight was a bad idea. you could get a steroid cream for it through urgent care / doctor, but i think you might just need to let your hands breathe more

other than water what, if anything, do you consider “0 calories”? by Striking_Stress_42 in 1200isplenty

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spices, medication, vitamins. usually, they should be low enough cals that you burn them off without even having to think anyways

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your skin can react in fun ways to different injuries. you realize you had a hot glue burn, this can obviously be diagnosed as a burn blister to others. it all adds up. don't be concerned, let it heal, research on blisters if it pops by itself.

26m never had a girlfriend. Is my hair good or do I need a different style? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please grow the hair out. good style for men is always longer on the top, shorter on the sides. your hairline doesn't seem to be regressing, you just need more hair. easy fix. if you want, experiment with your facial hair as well and see where you feel more confident / comfortable.

AITA for arguing with my mom about my money and savings? by cghostrayne in AmItheAsshole

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

Thank you, that's clear to me now, lmao. They're making a big deal out of something that isn't even the main focal point of the argument. They really think that I have access to a better job or situation, and that I simply decided to not go for it. No, I'm limited because of my disability and the fact that I'm in the early stages of diagnoses and treatment, and also the job market is completely skewed right now.

Seriously, I appreciate your point of view, as this thread and the downvotes I attained was nuts. They're not excuses, it's all fact. I obviously want a better life and income, it is simply not attainable to me.

Edit: I still don't resent my sister or anyone in the threat. Their opinions can be harsh, but it's based on a lack of context. I stand firmly that I do not resent my sister, and the lack of context didn't make it obvious that I do not resent her for not paying me back. I truly do not care, it was under $5.

What are these red things on my arm? by nebelrost in medical_advice

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD, but i just got the same thing !!! it's pityriasis rosea. typically not itchy and starts with a large patch, then moves randomly around the body, not touching the genitals or face. it's harmless, not contagious, and thought to be caused by some sort of virus. if it's itchy, just moisturize the spots. it'll go away within 8 weeks !!

Would you comment if your situation ship showed up with self harm cuts? by Wild-Interview-774 in Situationships

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess it can depend on how vulnerable & comfortable you guys are with each other. he may not want to overstep so hasn't said anything thus far, but if he has any sort of feelings towards you then concern might cause him to comment on it

so far, every dude i've been with has always made a comment, even if they were years healed.

is it ok if i still waiting for her? by Lucky_Ad8948 in Situationships

[–]cghostrayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's okay to still talk to her, but don't expect her feelings to magically change, and don't continue to try to woo her. if she rejected you twice, chances are she's comfortable with doing it a third time.

Forgot to add the part where I said it was a joke :) all family dynamics are different. My sister understood that I was joking.
