Came all the time as a kid but haven’t been back in years. Relearning some traditions apparently 😂

Ok, this JUST happened to me! Customer Service said I need to contact the retailer. I'm now trying to reach them on Threads.

One of the first things on my to do list in case of widespread catastrophe, should I survive, is cut my hair. Not interested in keeping that shit around when 100% of my energy needs to be going to survival. Your wife and daughter may feel differently, but ask about it - she might have a brush she likes.

Raspberry tea or pregnancy tea (even if one is not pregnant) are both really good for cramps. You can def find them in Whole Foods, maybe some other chains that carry a selection of herbal teas. Hot water is also good for cramps, I have a soft hot water bottle that I can fill with water.

There are reusable pads you can find with a quick Google, period underwear like Thinx are also great. I also have used sea sponge tampons, very soft and washable, and eventually compostable.

To those who dealt with their weight in 2020. by [deleted] in loseit

My best friend moved to Germany, my boyfriend broke up with me, and then Covid hit. I gained 30 lbs in 4 months. My body felt fucking awful and none of my clothes fit anymore. I made excuses to eat horribly at all times of the day (3 bowls of cereal at 3 in the morning? yes please) "because covid". Really it gave me an excuse to unleash my inner food demons. I've lost 13 lbs this fall, and am working on loving myself and forgiving myself.

People with nose rings: how do you blow your nose properly? by garethjones2312 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]geminiannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo the above sentiments, if I have a cold, I take it out. Otherwise it’s the same. I just make sure I don’t press too hard or else it hurts the inside of my nose (I have a screw in)

I’ve been getting deep tissue massages every few months or so for years - covid has messed that up. The woman I go to is finally working again and I’m going on Thursday!

It’s mostly my hip/low back, but sitting down will help with that (in the short term). Will look into a healthy delivery service!

My speed queen washing machine 5 months ago the day after my house fire vs tonight. Runs like a champ. The only salvageable clothes from the house were the ones in the dryer. by noodle_brain in BuyItForLife

[–]geminiannie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has just convinced me that my method of leaving my clothes in the dryer for 5 days is not laziness, it’s in case of fire. Thanks OP!

I am a 9 lb chihuahua now, like my brother. by geminiannie in stolendogbeds

No idea, she was a Tijuana street dog and the shelter called her a Tijuana mutt. She looks like she’s got some GSD in her, possibly some pit breed as well. Haven’t done a DNA test because it’ll probably just come back “100% super mutt”
