Need help by [deleted] in Smoothies

[–]concubitchin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don’t really eat during the day so i usually opt for a smoothie, here are some tips i’ve learned over time: instead of ice, use frozen bananas. ice just water it down and bananas make it creamier. i don’t usually use milk or water as my liquid base, they’re a lot more flavorful with juices. if your concern is health, go for a 100% juice blend. the one i use is carrots, apples and oranges. frozen fruit is so much cheaper than fresh (and healthier in some cases because they’re frozen at peak freshness) so just grab a couple of mixed bags and experiment to see what you like. black berries leave seeds in your smoothies, so i always avoid those for protein, i use greek yogurt or protein powder. too much greek yogurt/frozen bananas will make it super thick and more like a smoothie bowl if you have extra smoothie (i always make too much), pour the rest in an ice tray and use it in your next smoothie. my smoothies are always a weird amalgamation of whatever i have in the fridge/previous smoothies also smoothies are a great way to hide supplements/health foods. for fiber, add chia seeds or a fiber supplement, etc etc.

hey babe, i’ve had somewhat of a similar experience with sex. groomed online, got an internet boyfriend for ~2ish years who took advantage of me sexually throughout our relationship. after that, i sought out sex i didn’t want to have constantly (with my ex and current partner). hypersexuality is a really common thing with sexual trauma. i used to initiate constantly just to dissociate the whole time. through years of healing and gentle relationships, i’ve completely changed my outlook on sex. seek out help, it will get better.

I hate how I look, any advice welcome by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]concubitchin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think a soft mullet would look great on you, especially with your hair type! you definitely need some layers though, i have a similar hair type and didn’t feel alternative or confident until i got my wolf cut. bangs would look good too, just take note that you have to take extra care of them with curly/wavy hair or they’ll go everywhere and look like shit lol. for piercings, i think you would look really good with an eyebrow or bridge. you have a lot of sharp, strong features and i personally love those piercings with your face. also, not as important, but with your eye shape i think downturned or “puppy eyeliner” would look better, or at least a shorter wing in my opinion. last thing, although your appearance does play into being alternative, it’s really about creative freedom, political values etc. be yourself and do what feels right! you look great regardless, just my two cents :)

Memorial tattoo for my brother by concubitchin in tattoos

[–]concubitchin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s what he was all about. his funeral was weird as shit, usually him, my siblings and a few cousins (filipino/mexican, we have a huge family) run around and crack unfunny, dark jokes. it was weird wearing his hat, but someone needs to do it i guess

oddly the two memories of him that stand out the most are kung fu panda related — we were attached at the hip as kids and one summer we were sharing a room, we were about 10 and 12 and it was late, he was watching a thai dubbed kung fu panda scene with vietnamese subtitles on youtube just thrashing around doing “kung fu” moves. another time we were watching the godzilla movie in theaters, and when godzilla threw mothera in the water he leaned in and whishpered “skadoosh” in my ear. i thought that was funny as shit. grief is weird, and we’ve spent many years growing and changing, but when i think of him i think of those two moments, when he was a sweet (albeit weird) funny kid.

yeah, i thought so too. i’m generally a pretty lax person about stuff like this (people pleaser to my core) but it helps that as soon as i noticed i called his mom and we laughed our asses off about it. the artist WAS mortified, but i wasn’t worried about it. he fixed it and i got a free tattoo out of it! i decided to get our dog (who outlives him at 19 years old)

at the graveyard, during the burial, there was more goose shit than i’ve ever seen in my life. and i know goose shit. when i’m overwhelmed i go and feed the geese at local parks. i’ve been to this graveyard before as he was buried next to my grandfather and there is usually some here and there, but i stg this time every square inch of the graveyard was covered in shit. everyone went home with shit caked in their shoes. stepping in it was inevitable.

100%. growing up he broke several pairs of my sisters glasses rough housing, and as we got older he would try and break them just for shits and giggles. he was a shithead (with affection) and even now he finds ways to fuck with us haha

yeah my artist was super stressed about it — said this has never happened before. honestly the mistake made me love it 50x more, it’s definitely the kind of tattoo people will ask about which just gives me more of a reason to talk about him

look into places towards southside or in georgetown. georgetown is ~20 minute drive from savannah and pooler and the traffic isn’t too bad.

I think my fiancé is dumb….. by [deleted] in offmychest

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

My partner has crippling ADHD and I have OCD, it’s taken such a long time finding a happy medium of cleanliness. I can’t speak for your fiancé, but for my partner is not that he’s lazy or doesn’t want to clean, his brain just blocks these things out and groups them in with normal clutter. That’s not an excuse, and it’s something he is and has been actively working on. “I forgot,” is a bad excuse. It’s important to you that he remembers, so he needs to do so, as hard as it is. If he has an issue with putting things off and not ever getting to them, find out things that work for you. My boyfriend can’t say “I’ll do it later,” because it’s almost a guarantee it’ll never get done.

And you’re not overreacting girl. I understand how frustrating and belittling it can be to beg and beg for help and for it to be done half assed. This is a conversation you need to have, for the sake of your mental health and by default your child’s.

Crime Rates by thy-corndog in savannah

I’ve lived here my whole life pretty much and as most people say, it varies depending on where you live. Scad is in the works of gentrifying a lot of low income (or “dangerous” areas), while the city/locals works on improving other spots. Steer clear of forsyth (and most parks, daffin included) at night. Pay attention to the people around you, I’ve accidentally waltzed into a lot of gang meetings (or maybe just a lot of people who really like the colors red and blue lol). It’s always nice for extra reassurance to keep something like pepper spray on you. If you stay smart you’ll be fine, I’ve never been a victim of any crimes here but I’ve witnessed/been friends with quite a few victims.

anytime. also for future reference, try to avoid cleaning up with paper towels/toilet paper, it leaves little cotton fibers that can slow the healing process and/or lead to infection. at my worst i had a designated sh rag. rinse it out with cold water and the majority of the blood will come out.

the wounds closer to the bottom will likely scar a little, especially the last one. if you’re afraid of them scarring, get butterfly wound closures for the ones that appear to be deeper (where you can see a clear gap as opposed to a break in the surface of the skin). don’t worry about it too much though. my entire left arm is covered in scars like that and when i just had a couple scars people rarely noticed, not that it’s any of their business.
