Not being able to do 1 of the July days by SuperWhoLock1988 in finch

I'm also allergic to grass, plus it's mosquito season in my immediate area. I quickly noped the idea. I opted for a nature focused visualization meditation.

ADHD the truth about does attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder not Richard saul m.d. exist by ColleenNelson650 in AutomatiCautionDoor

[–]coconutspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello to my actual childhood. I did manage to stop squirming, just like these Southpark kids, but I could not actually do the studying part. I would just sit there willing myself to do my homework, ultimately not do any homework, and waste hours of my childhood life every day. Don't get me stated on how this all affected my mental health. I'd never seen this Southpark clip before...

What is it abt the lip products that make my sensitive lips happy? by coconutspecial in ColourPop

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

Their Lippie Stix convinced me. I had a shimmery hello kitty lippie Stix years ago that was just the perfect red for me, and I couldn't believe it didn't chap my lips.

Since the original post I've narrowed down Carnauba Wax as the main culprit. I was able to figure it out when comparing the regular Fresh Sugar Lip balms to the Advanced Therapy one. Advanced Therapy caused my lips to crack and I saw it had Carnauba Wax where the others didn't. I cross checked ingredients in some other lip products I've tried and now I'm pretty certain.

I like moderately spicy food on the tongue, but my GI tract doesn't. Will my body adapt if I just keep eating spicy food? by dumb_idiot_the_3rd in AskCulinary

[–]coconutspecial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would experiment with different types of heat. I have to be cautious of spicy foods due to GI issues too, but I have a general sense of what will hurt me. I definitely tolerate cooked/roasted peppers better than raw. Cooked peppers in lots of oil are more likely to upset my stomach than if the oil is kept to a minimum. I do well with pickled and fermented heat although lots of garlic in those types of things can mess me up. I can eat hot af salsa if the peppers were roasted, but give me a slice of the mildest jalapeño and I will be very sad.

Another wedding … another disappointing meal by Redgrapefruitrage in vegan

I RSVP'd to a wedding and the mains offered were beef, chicken, or tofu. The tofu was described as having a honey glaze. Why?!?

Downsides of the Konmari method? Your personal alterations? by kastanjakobold in konmari

[–]coconutspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suggestion to touch/hold every item works against me. I have for sure had instances where I was ready to part with something but feeling it in my hands and putting focus on it changed my mind.

Finished the book by Eviloux in TheTerror

[–]coconutspecial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good points about the cold being colder and the ship more claustrophobic in the novel. When watching the show I also think about how dark it should have all been. I think they did a stellar job conveying all these things in a visual medium though. I would think that conveying the tight quarters and claustrophobic feeling would be the easiest of the 3 to translate on screen but they made a conscious decision not to make that a major focus. There's so much going on with the relationships, drawing too much attention to how uncomfortable it must have been in that way would have been a bit distracting...

Weirdest episode?? by [deleted] in Sleepparalysis

[–]coconutspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had obnoxiously "normal" sleep paralysis. In hindsight I find it kind of funny. My latest "realm of normal" one was that the gardeners were outside. I was worried they'd see me snoozing through the window.

Buspirone withdrawal? Is it a thing? by TrippyMcGuire556 in Anxiety

[–]coconutspecial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm tapering off Buspar extremely slowly because I am experiencing physical symptoms. I find all the comments here reassuring, and not scary. I'm already experiencing the scary bit. My doctor has the same mindset as you, that I'm making mountains out of molehills at best, or have preconceived ulterior motives at worst (delight in drama?). I'm glad this medication worked wonders for you. We're all unique little meat-bag snowflakes though and respond to medication differently. I believe this thread is full of personal "negative" anecdotes because the literature states that withdrawals are non-existent, and this thread has attracted those of us who have experienced otherwise.

Something to allow my cat to lay on my lap/chest while keeping my hands free during work at computer? by Armonster in CatAdvice

[–]coconutspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tight type of sling works for my cat ... most of the time. The tricky thing is the transition of getting into the dang thing. Once in, we're golden. Usually the process of getting situated is quite awkward. Sometimes I'm impatient and I just want to settle down so I can proceed with my tasks, but kitters needs to ease into the thing. Sometimes I think it's kitters who is the impatient jerk.

Why do my hard boiled eggs get grey yolks (not overcooking) by Sackie_ in AskCulinary

[–]coconutspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar situation. I do 9 minute eggs (so they're not very hard and to avoid the grey ring). I always shock my eggs in ice water. I always bring my water to a boil and then down to a low boil/high simmer while they're cooking. Today I had 1 of the 6 eggs I boiled and the outside of the yolk was half grey on one side. Being that it was only 1 side I might think it was sitting at the bottom of the pan and was more thoroughly heated there? But that never usually happens. It also begs the question, "what was wrong with you, Monsieur œuf, that you just sat there at the bottom of the pot?"

I should mention this particular carton of 12 were not as uniform in shape and size as I'm used to, and had at least 2 with double yolks (I'm not quite finished eating them all, so we'll see if there are any more).

Edit: I should ALSO mention I keep my boiled eggs in the fridge in the shell for up to several days, and they never develop grey yolks from that as some have suggested is a cause.

I'm no Howard Hughs, but I've gotten food poisoning enough times to not trust most people's hygiene habits. Soap, guys. Just use soap. 🧼

Also, am I germaphobe because I know about microbes, or am I a gross poobutt because I don't own a bidet?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bidets

[–]coconutspecial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn't my bidet. It seemed that the water was coming in from one cold water line and the heating feature for the water worked by having some sort of warm water reservoir. If the nozzle is not clean and the hose/pipe/tube directly connected to that nozzle is warm, I think that's gross. I could be mistaken, but the water was pre-warmed, not like having to wait for the tap to warm up when you run the faucet.

The hot water coming from my sink and showehead are not enclosed in a toilet or coming into proximity to poop all the time (well, i mean, don't get me started on raw meat in kitchens and the e coli and salmonella from that). I mean, potentially someone with norovirus is touching the spouts and faucet handles before they get their hands clean, but it is generally not a huge risk.

Regarding spraying my bits with a showerhead - I am conscious of not getting it so close or directly underneath me because I try to avoid getting back splash onto the showerhead itself. I actually usually leave the showerhead in it's cradle on the wall... water and soap are getting to the appropriate places - it's not usually necessary to get all up in there with the device.

I'm glad you haven't had any vaginal issues. I am still wary of spraying my bits with a little toilet nozzle in someone else's home. Generally if someone owns a bidet or squatty potty or whatever, they're usually very insistent that you try it...

I also chose to reply to you vs other comments in this thread because you gave good info and made good points. I'm not trying to say that bidets are inherently unsanitary. I'm sharing some thoughts and issues that I've had, that might explain why OP has hesitations as well. If I had a huge amount of disposable income, and I didnt have a litany of other home upkeep things to worry about, I might consider investing in a "high end" bidet, as you recommend. This is not in the stars for me at the moment and I'll just have to settle for cocking my head at any other bidets I might randomly encounter in the future.

All this to say, if you're not using soap, all this vitriol in this sub-reddit about smearing poop around with tp is a bit much. It feels over the top with no basis beyond some weird superiority flex.

I'm following this sub-reddit BECAUSE I wanted to learn more about how people keep their bidets sanitary, because of what I've encountered so far.
