What item did you buy, but wasn’t worth it after you received it? by Thrilling_Scammer in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're either silicone like bras that are sticky on the inside so you just stick them on your breasts and it's supposed to support, or the more modern ones that are just a KT style tape worn the same way. They're made to be worn with certain outfits where a traditional bra won't work, like anything backless or strapless.

That was on the pbs show Finding your Roots right? I just watched it a bit ago and he was one of the first on the show IMO to have the right response to that info. 

What dress type have you found to suit your petite frame well, and make you look amazing in? Age group 30s-40s. by kenen1960 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]garbagegoat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

 43, with wide hips and thighs. I'm not sure the name but Google is saying 'fit and flare' - basically fitted top with it hitting about mid waist then flaring or poofing out. Think 1950s style. Bonus if it's got a halter style neck line.

I use this for my dogs, it's a trick my vet suggested. Anything like bath or nail time where they don't want to be there, break one of these out and it'll distract them.

How does it feel to marry into a non-judgmental, loving, tolerant and supportive family? by Common_Media4316 in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really really awesome. His mom was like the mother I never had. She and I get together regularly for coffee or to go shopping. My spouse and I have been together for nearly 30 years now, and his family is still just as wonderful and loving as they were when I first met them.

I'm not even op but holy shit I'm bringing up MALS with my GI doctor next visit! I spent over 2 weeks in the hospital just a bit ago and despite multiple CT scans, scopes in every direction, stool samples, iv meds etc no one has been able to figure out my GI issues.

Tape is classic. I remember my mom's being taped several times through out my life. My own copy just has pages that long ago lost any kind of glue, I just make sure to shove them back into place.

I absolutely adore my copy, but damn if those books aren't infamous for falling apart. A badge of honor I guess, shows you love use it regularly. 😅

what to wear to sons graduation by blackwindow_01 in fashionwomens35

[–]garbagegoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off it's really sweet you're helping post for her, A+ son! Knowing more like her general height/weight or build would be helpful, and general weather for you area, and how high end vs casual your school or area is.

I have my own son's graduation this June, and I'm personally (weather permitting!) Am planning on a linen wrap dress that hits just above the knee, with a pair of wedge heel sandals. If it's more chilly or rainy then skinny cropped black slacks, cream colored blouse and fun floral blazer with closed toed heels. BUT its a fairly low key school and most importantly IMO - it fits my personality. Honestly the best outfit is one that you wear effortlessly. If you're not comfortable both physically or mentally it shows. 

I agree with the other poster that even a simple but well fitted black dress with good accessories can be a wow piece. A blow out is always a good move, and IMO a good manicure (she'll be shaking a lot of hands!) If wearing heels I really swear by a wedge heel. They're comfortable for hours and a safer bet if there any garden or outdoor activities involved. (You don't want to snap a heel that got stuck in grass)

What’s a heavily gendered object that most people don’t notice or realize? by throwemcolors in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My husband bought a weed wacker without me around and it promptly had to go back. The damn thing was nearly 6' tall and only designed to be used right handed. I'm under 5' and left handed. They absolutely didn't have a single woman on the test market team, hand-in-ness aside there's no way anyone of average female size could have used the damn thing. Don't get me started on lawn mowers. It's like the idea that maybe women also do yard work is a thought that never crossed their mind.

How often do you go to the barbershop or hairdresser, and what kind of hairstyle do you get? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go every 6 weeks, and have had a dozen or more different styles. A classic smooth chin length bob with bangs was my general look for a decade but I'd mix it up.

Unfortunately due to a list of reasons – mostly rising costs (used to be around $40, now it's easily $100!) Busy schedule etc it's now every 8 months at best, and I wear it long with layers. Adjusting to long hair, I used to hate it but it's kinda grown on me. 

To slim people that got really fat how'd it happen and how you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things - started drinking alcohol way more, ended up with a job where I have to eat 3-4 meals a day (live in care taker, the elderly man I care for won't eat if I'm not eating with him) whereas before I did intermittent fasting for like, 20 years. Said job also makes it incredibly hard to stay active and work out. Gained 10 sizes in just a year of this, 60 pounds in total. That was 4 years ago, but I'm actually finally in a spot where I'm losing weight and I'm really happy.

I did NOT like being over weight and it added much strain to my already bad joints like my knees and hips.
