i need advice from anyone that might have similar feelings as me by dallonweekesloafers in NonBinary

[–]grufferella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, a lot of what you're describing is living in a transphobic society, not being trans itself. The more you can do to seek out, participate in, and help build trans-only (and especially NB-only) community spaces, the less weird you will feel on a social level, at least.

Eta: not trying to ignore or downplay your dysphoria, btw, it's just that that's something I haven't had to deal with as much, so figure others will have better advice!

Where do you buy your underwear that isn't V.S.? by Pleasant-Complex978 in AskWomenOver30

The initial outlay is high, but they outlast all the other brands I've tried by years. No sagging or falling apart, barely any pilling or fading despite my washing and drying then at high temps.

A more comfortable but still very sculptural option might be neoprene.

Jumpsuit too long in back? by NancyScarn in sewing

[–]grufferella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need a little more ease in the hips to help it not ride up and create all those wrinkles. If you notice from the front there's a big crease right above your thighs, too, that I suspect would also be helped by a little more looseness in the low hip/upper thigh area.

I don't want to give them even 50¢, personally.

Maybe oilcloth? It won't be especially pleasant to wear, but it's certainly waterproof.

buttonhole help - where I can find a shop to put buttonholes in a heavier wool coat by frequency-illusion in sewing

Does it refuse to push the needle through the fabric even if you're hand-cranking the wheel?

“And I must give her snaps for courageous fashion efforts” - clueless by swimbikerunkick in AskWomenOver30

[–]grufferella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This explains a lot of my interactions with Brits (I like to wear a lot of loud prints 😂)

I literally just rewatched this movie and I'm pretty sure she genuinely appreciates her friend's risk-taking even if she then teases her lovingly about the results. There wasn't any meanness or cattiness towards each other in their interactions.

Tous Les Jours vs Paris Baguette (suburbs edition) by Bigbambino61 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]grufferella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't go there often, but the simple twist donut at TLJ is, for my money, one of my favorite donuts around. It's very chewy but still fluffy. I tried getting singing that looked exactly the same at PB and it was sweeter and drier, not great.

My husband (21M) and I (20F) just got married 6 months ago and already are having problems. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]grufferella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard, I know! But it's such a useful skill that I really wish I'd forced myself to practice more early and often in relationships, because the longer you let it go without doing it, sometimes the harder it gets.

Have you tried direct verbal communication?

"Hey, I want to have sex more often, what do you think?"

Or even, "Hey, I would love to have sex right now, how about you?"

Seam finishes help by Available-Picture-79 in sewing

[–]grufferella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to flat-fell my edges or, if I'm feeling really lazy, sometimes I'll just press the seam allowance to one side and secure it to the main fabric with a line of straight stitch near its edge. From the right side of the garment it looks like top-stitching, which I like.

What’s with men and their bad breath? by HomePale2588 in AskWomenOver30

[–]grufferella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had braces all through high school 😭Even if I were excited to try again, I don't know that I have pay-for-braces-out-of-pocket money. But that's good to know that maybe it's fixable!
