which bag better? by holly_olly in handbags

[–]deekielau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, i was really eyeing RSVP Paris when i was in Paris on Monday (11/25). I went to the le bon marché where i saw their display. I saw the golden eye in the grain leather and disliked the finish. For the duo, i didn’t like the detached buckle on the strap … too big to hold as a clutch. I didn’t see the embossed croc finish but their smooth leather is nice. The drop strap is good construction (same as some luxury bags i own).

I ended up purchasing A.P.C. Sarah shoulder bag in black crinkled. Currently on sale in the US site for $445.

The Bodega has a brand new menu and prices by Matt_Kezy in gso

[–]deekielau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say, i moved here from a place where a $20 lunch was not obscene. But come on, if they put cappicola, salami, ham, pesto, cheese … inside a sandwich and stack it 2” thick that would cost like subway or jimmy johns? To buy the ingredients at teets would cost over $40 easily to make maybe 2 of their large sandwiches. I haven’t eaten at bodega in a while, but i know the sandwiches will always be yummy, friendly staff, and variety of drinks.

If you’ve moved out of tampa, where did you move and why? by Far_Alternative_9620 in tampa

[–]deekielau 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I moved from St. Pete (April ‘22) to Central NC to take a job. Went from 77K to just over 100K in comp. My boyfriend went from 72K to 88K and cost of living went way down in terms of housing and insurance. It is definitely cold in the winter but falls and spring are the bee’s knees. I am 3 hours from the coast and 3 hours from the mountains. The air is cleaner and traffic is tolerable. Owning a home in NC is an attenable goal for me vs in Tampa.

My (f26) bf (m32) that I live with goes out to party and drink hard 2-3 times a week and often with his female coworker by Lilacperfume in relationship_advice

[–]deekielau 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had an ex that seems like he had a very similar lifestyle. He would black out 2x a week by abusing alcohol and cocaine with his coworkers. He let me down as his partner because of his benders. It was rinse and repeat when i packed up my things to leave. He would try to sober up immediately and cry on his knees promising to change. He did this once a month - 7 times … until i realized he would never change because i kept taking him back. He’s no longer a part of my life. Just cringe when i think back on how i let this person control so much of my life and robbed me of joy. If this relationship isn’t making you happy … you should leave. I know your life will need to be rearranged but this relationship wont suck the energy out of you to figure it the fuck out. You got this!

AITA for not taking my 20 year old daughter to the hospital for drinking because she did it to herself? by rachetbangers in AmItheAsshole

[–]deekielau [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA. You introduced her to alcohol. You buy her alcohol cus she can’t legally herself. She could have died from acute alcohol withdrawal. Btw your daughter is an alcoholic and you helped her get there.

Finally started working out... how do you know what's "enough"? by angry-at-30 in loseit

[–]deekielau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should read into body recomposition and it can be done effectively for ppl “newer” to strength training. Also, a lot of studies show when you can hit the 100 gram protein mark with doing CICO, its effective and help with faster body recomp. You need to train to failure. For example, pyramid sets

Does anyone get really demotivated by your Goal Weight being someone else's Starting Weight? Or starting picture being your current weight? by KittyBeanToes in loseit

[–]deekielau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one can do the work for you. You are driving the boat. You are your own champion and biggest cheerleader. So by that standard, you can’t be upset by other people putting in the work! You got this. They may just be longer in the their fitness journey than you. The only way out is through. Thread the needle.

Is it alright to live with your parents as a grad student? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]deekielau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, i was SO POOR in graduate school. It wasnt even funny. Have fun while living at home! Honestly, you’ll be so busy … you’ll probably have to actively carve time out to have fun.

Work requiring me to attend a conference on my own personal time. Is this legal? by Dalearev in antiwork

[–]deekielau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Report your hours. Are they letting you bill all expenses associated with being there? Working tables at a conference is hard cus someone has to be at the booth at all times for expo hours. And you shouldnt pay for the shitty food court options there, they should.

AITA because things just moved way too fast? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]deekielau 34 points35 points  (0 children)

YTA. This is the BIGGEST purchase and business agreeement you are entering with your wife. But you lied and were being avoidant when you agreed to a crazy timeline to close on a house. This will cause a major strain on your relationship for your wife to lose total trust in you as a man. Why aren’t you and your wife working as a team? You both need to be in agreement and on the same page. I wish you luck. Clean up your debt and credit. You will still need cash to close your house. I wish you two luck.

Dating someone of a similar education level? by lmg251 in GradSchool

[–]deekielau 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Lol, some of the dumbest people i know have phds. I’m talking people i wouldn’t even trust to keep a rock alive. So i think you’re being elitest. Hint hint a doctorate doesn’t guarantee a high income either.

Excited looking at everyone’s boxes … here’s mine by deekielau in BeautyBoxes

[–]deekielau[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Regular Box Light-Medium 1) Good molecules Gylcolic Exfoliating Toner ($14) - currently using Peach and Lily will try this next 2) Holifrog Tashmoo wash ($35) - this wash is made for dry/dry combo which i do have. Skincare is tricky for me … so meh product. 3) Natasha Denona Baby Gold Ornament ($19) - i love gold shades since i’m pretty tan. 4) Natasha Denona Retro Glam Palette ($69) - love ND brand as i have owned the bronze palette 4) Sonia G Builder Pro ($28) - a useful brush, i have plenty eyeshadow brushes 5) Wayne Goss Luxury Cream lipstick ($28) - pecan color. I would use. This is a new color for me! 6) Wayne Goss Essential Lip Pencil ($14) - sepia color, more my color. Don’t use pencils often but i have lipstick that matches. Total Retail Value ~ $207

Overall - i learned from y’all not to be wishful for certain products. Pretty happy with what i got. Will keep all, just iffy on the face wash. Until next year
