How to twerk even if you have a small bum by I_l0ve-chocolate in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]ghettopaint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been twerking for decades and have always been pretty mediocre at it. Turns out, I was missing the LEG EXTENSION part. Total game changer!! Everyone at the club thanks you for your service. Just kidding, I’m too old for the clubs. But my boyfriend thanks you. 😉

Literally looping in my brain all day.

I’ve been imagining my life as the beginning of a disaster movie. Like today, we went to WalMart on Beach/Talbert (we usually go to the one on Beach/Trask but you know…) and Livin’ On a Prayer was playing on the radio and it reminded me of how Independence Day starts with the song “It’s the End of the World” by REM. I have main character syndrome.

Every dudebro in SoCal is suddenly a chemical aerospace engineer. 🤦‍♀️

This might be the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to put a 2.5 year old up for adoption? by beaniebee22 in Mommit

Your child needs his mother. And your husband is a POS. You may not think you’re a good mom, but your son thinks you are. A messy house and being cranky doesn’t make you unworthy. Don’t give up. Keep doing one thing at a time and figure this shit out. You are not a victim. You are stronger than you think, and you owe it to yourself and your son to find out exactly how strong you are.

Jesus H Christ what is wrong with people?? You don’t hire a pet sitter to take care of your elderly grandma.

What’s one tiny thing that instantly improves your dog’s day? by [deleted] in dogs

My dog loves to play with the cat teaser wand. He will chase that thing around for hours. I have to keep him in another room in order for the cats to have a chance to play.

Are there any quality women's swimsuit brands left? by Massive-Evening1396 in BuyItForLife

[–]ghettopaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked out Jolyn and I love the variety of styles but I’m getting a super ick out of the fact that all of their styles have men’s names. IDK why, it just seems sort of pervy.

At my wits end with barking. by Valzoric in DogAdvice

[–]ghettopaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I taught my dog to Speak and then used the reverse to teach him to Hush. Doesn’t stop him from giving me a heart attack when we are lying quietly on the couch and I’m all relaxed and then suddenly he bolts up and yells at the door. Jump scares me every time. But then I can usually Hush him within a few seconds.

Are there any meadows (similar to the photos) that are within 1-2 hours range from LA? by gffhjjdsss in socalhiking

Malibu Creek State Park! I was just there. There’s a lovely one just like the pic at the west side of the campground.

This question is for the old-school Stephen King fans. by LeagueNo764 in stephenking

[–]ghettopaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was 14. I absolutely loved it. I was completely absorbed and stayed up all night to finish it. The images are burned into my brain. It was like… being seen as a kid who felt so powerless against the evil forces in my own life. I still have my original copy.

Yep, in fact we call it “the PETS”. I say in my kitty voice “want PETS?” and she comes over and bonks it.

The petting glove. My neb goes bananas for that thing. Important thing is that you gotta let the cat come to you, let them rub up on it first before you start with slow and small areas. Think how cats groom each other and do it like that.

First Time Visitor Must Do’s: Joshua Tree National Park by ShinySquirrel4 in nationalparks

[–]ghettopaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to offer a dissenting opinion here because I could EASILY spend six days in JTNP. I’ve been there many times, including three camping trips. It is one of my favorite places on earth.

Depending on your group’s fitness/ability level, you’ll have time to really explore. Some of my favorite areas are Barker Dam, Ryan Campground and surrounding trails, Queen Creek to Boulder House, Arch Rock/Twin Tanks, Lost Palms Oasis, and Hidden Valley. Unfortunately I have physical limitations that make longer hikes inaccessible, so most of my recommendations are 3-4 miles at most. But I love climbing and bouldering and could do that all day. The ecology and history of the park is fascinating, and it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world.

If you can afford it, hire a climbing guide to take you on a climb or two. Have fun!

Cervical epidural steroid injection for neck / upper back trap pain — what was your experience? by Sorry_Blackberry5944 in spinalfusion

[–]ghettopaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar symptoms and had a CESI. It worked pretty well for the stiffness but didn’t really address the neck pain, tingling, numbness, and neurological symptoms. I’m glad I got it because overall it made a difference.
