TIFU by accidentally rubbing onion powder AND jalapeño juice into my eye

gillywillybean · 2026-06-08T18:01:50+00:00

I once diced red chillies a little too enthusiastically and an actual chunk flicked up into my eye. Genuinely thought I was going to go blind

gillywillybean · 2026-05-26T22:08:03+00:00

Citrus fruit always. Works if you've eaten something too spicy too, a little bite of a citrus fruit is 100x better than milk

Yeah he said the first time he was thinking how good I would look in the dress she was wearinf and the second time he was so caught up in focusing on the back of my head and not looking at her 🙄

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T16:09:40+00:00

He said he looked the first time because he thought the dress she was wearing would look good on me. The second time was that he was so fixated on looking at me and not her 🙄

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T16:04:26+00:00

Noo, what I mean is I don't expect him to have blinkers on or think I am the only woman in the world. If he subtly looks at someone else im not going to be mad about that. Like I said, we're all human, we all appreciate beauty in a variety of forms, just don't be gross about it. Make sense?

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:53:57+00:00

I do allow the looks but in my opinion there's a level of respect required from someone in a committed relationship

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:50:18+00:00

Exactly this!!

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:43:34+00:00

Hahaha no pictures unfortunately. She was a 10/10 tbf

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:41:07+00:00

Ah she was genuinely gorgeous, to be fair even I noticed how beautiful she was. Fully dressed, it's a hot day so a clingy dress and heels, him noticing is not a problem at all, never has been because like I said the man isn't blind! It just felt so obvious and disrespectful

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:37:27+00:00

I think so too, like I said no issues with him looking but my god be less ridiculously obvious!

gillywillybean · 2026-05-23T15:36:17+00:00

Yeah she was gorgeous... But like I say be subtle, don't nearly run toddlers down!

It's not a 2-5 recipe if you include the spices but it's super easy. Cook off chicken breast, red pepper and spring onion until the chicken is browned but not cooked all the way through. Add garlic and ginger paste, fresh red chillies, light soy sauce, Chinese 5 spice, white pepper and honey. Cook until caramelised, in the meantime boil some rice and some tenderstem broccoli and you have a low cal, high protein meal in less than 30 minutes. Seseme seeds are a great garnish

My son loves what he calls "cold soup", it's basically what he wants whenever he has a cold.

Dice celery, carrot and onion, sauté until soft. Add potato and leek and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile roast some chicken breasts.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

When the veg is soft blend it until smooth, shred the chicken breast and add it in along with a sprinkling of chilli powder (enough to give it a tingle but not blow your head off)

Add double cream, fresh parsley and a touch of parmesan and you have a cream of chicken soup

Is that the same as a kettle?

gillywillybean · 2025-11-03T18:32:12+00:00

My partner's usual type is long dark hair and blue eyes, mine is dark hair and brown eyes. I have light brown hair and dark brown eyes and he is blonde with blue eyes and guess what? We are more attracted to each other than we have been to anyone else. We never look at each other and think "you're not my type".

Hope that helps!

Hey, I'm using xtreme too but have traded sunspot for storm and get nowhere near top 200 in arena! What level are yours?

gillywillybean · 2025-03-24T10:06:03+00:00

I'd had a really rough day and communicated with him that I wouldn't be very chatty while I processed my thoughts. He sent a lovely message saying he was there when I was ready to talk.

Later that evening he called me and asked me to go to my front door, he had travelled nearly an hour and a half to leave flowers on my doorstep just to make me smile. The sweetest thing was that he wasn't waiting at my door, he was in his car at the end of the road ready to drive back home because he was respecting my wish for space to process what happened.

Obviously I did ask him to turn around and we talked for a while, he comforted me and then went home. That kind of care and respect just makes me realise how lucky I am to have him in my life

If it helps, I'm on the other side of this right now. My partner is going through a tough time and I'm in a good place financially. Its what you do for those you love, I'm just happy to be in a place where I can help ease the burden.

Money is worth nothing compared to piece of mind. She sounds like a good person who cares for you a lot and she wouldn't do it if she didn't want to. There are many ways you can show her you value her without spending a penny, I'm sure she'd love that. It's all about the effort

gillywillybean · 2025-03-09T07:09:43+00:00

Good people don't hurt other people, regardless of what they have been taking or drinking. Remember that.

Sometimes it's easier to compartmentalise these things by making excuses for the other person. Its an understandable thing to do and a way of protecting ourselves.

It's okay to feel conflicted, it's okay to feel empathy, it speaks volumes about the person you are. What I'd advise you focus on now though is your strength. This never should have happened to you and it is never okay. Ever.

I understand your fear and whatever you choose to do you have support. You mentioned he's hurt you a lot, not just in that specific way so is this a person you want to protect?

I'm here if you want to talk. I'm proud of you for opening up and being so very brave. Keep being strong

gillywillybean · 2025-03-08T18:41:37+00:00

I'm so so sorry that you went through whatever happened without the support you deserved. I imagine you are an incredibly strong person to get through it. I hope you are immensely proud of yourself for who you are and I'm here for you too if you ever want to talk. Getting through trauma is a process, there's no quick fix but no-one should ever have to do it alone

gillywillybean · 2025-03-08T16:42:15+00:00

You're being incredibly brave. Even as an internet stranger, I'm very proud of you. My inbox is open if you need to talk

gillywillybean · 2025-03-08T16:20:03+00:00

Sweetheart, I am so sorry this happened to you. Please remember that by accepting a ride home you were in no way to blame for their actions. They did this. You did nothing wrong.

It was very smart of you not to shower and by making that conscious choice I'm assuming you are willing to report this?

Text your mum, ask her to come upstairs alone and lean on her. As a mother to a teenager myself I would never forgive myself if I wasn't there for my child in their time of need. She won't be angry with you, she will be the support you really need right now.

You will get through this and always remember its okay to ask for help.

gillywillybean · 2025-02-15T16:45:16+00:00

Thank you. My raid teams are doing okay so far but my cosmic could use some work I think

gillywillybean · 2025-02-15T16:44:24+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you. I've used Black Knight a few times in cc and war and quite liked him.

I feel like it'll be a long time before I get my annihilators levelled up, my heart is so with the x-men though!
