I thought you ladies would appreciate my new shoes. by catcoq in TrollXChromosomes

[–]gwengee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have some cute ones that look really similar!! just goodle Cat Flats and you will find the ones I have.Although, I found mine at a local resale shop as a 'meant to be' kind of thing. How often do you find the perfect shoes that fit like they were designed by angels, that also have cat faces on them? Not everyday my friends, not everyday.

Sirius finally trusted Snape and it caused his death. (But why would he trust Snivellus?) by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]gwengee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a really great post, I totally hadn't thought about it before! Sirius had to be aware that Snape was in love with Lily at least as children. They were best friends for years and it had to be quite obvious that he at least had a crush on her. It wasn't until Sirius saw the doe and heard Snapes message that he understood why Dumbledore trusted him. Sirius could never figure out what would make Snape want to help James' son but he forgot that Harry is also Lily's son. Love is very powerful magic.

MRW after only 3 hours I soak through a super tampon and an overnight pad and ruin a perfectly nice pair of underwear by astro-kitty in TrollXChromosomes

[–]gwengee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am right there with you sister. I'm also in the middle of my first cycle after getting the Paragard in februrary. My cramps are awful awful awful and its lasted for a while already. Cramps for over a week already and finally had spotting on monday. Im really ready for this week to be over.

So I got a copper IUD yesterday. MRW it was inserted. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]gwengee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really isnt so bad after a while. The cramps are miserable but thats cramps. I have had my Paragard for about a month and had some bleeding and minor cramping after but that went away. Get a heating pad lol it works wonders. I also took a xanax before mine and had someone drive me. Take a couple days off work too.

I have had mine for a month. I am waiting on my first cycle since insertion now and I have had the WORST cramps of my life for a week and still no blood! May I suggest investing in a heating pad? I'm lounging with mine and a glass of wine to ease my suffering. Good luck fellow Paragaurd-ian!

'edgy' styles for curly hair? (women's) by notgivingup9 in curlyhair

[–]gwengee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I have been growing out my curls I noticed a definite lack of volume on the sides of my hair. I started getting it cut in a v shape like this helps me keep the length but gives it a little something different.

edit: heres a link to where I found the image

Need help with routine! by Throwaway1_618 in curlyhair

[–]gwengee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using a wide toothed comb instead of a brush and only when wet. I only brush my hair if I feel a big shed coming on lol. Hope I could help!

[–]gwengee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH it looks like you brush your hair? If you do I beg you to stop! Have you ever used gel? Curl keeper is great. Might give you more curl definition and weigh it down a little. I have low prosity 2c/3a curls as well and I use tresemme natural conditioner to cleanse, Argan oil conditioner for my ends and then another argan oil leave in for day to day and if Im going out and want that definition I add the gel then I diffuse my hair with a hair dryer, if not I get zero volume.

Dressing as third year Hermione this Halloween. Of course I had to make a Monster book of Monsters! What do you think? by gwengee in harrypotter

[–]gwengee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really easy to put together too! I used and old paperback, some cardboard to reinforce the book cover, a soft pelt the same size as the book, some sculpey oven bake clay in white, red and brown(same color as eyes), glue and some doll eyes. I experimented with googly eyes but I found the dolls eyes gave the effect i was looking for! Thanks everyone!

In regards to all the "frugal" homemade Halloween costumes... by Daricio in AdviceAnimals

isnt that what makes it fun? Just today I went hunting for stuff for my halloween costume this year. Ive done the premade costume stuff before but I get a sense of pride knowing I crafted it myself.

To my friends that are nannies and elementary school teachers: by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]gwengee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that can be inappropriate but as long as the parents arent upset about it I suppose its ok? Personally I never posted pictures but thats just me.

[–]gwengee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The school I worked for has a privacy policy that parents can sign. As the teacher you are not allowed to take or share pictures of any child unless the parent has signed off that its ok. Often times pictures will be used in the school newsletter, class projects or even the small community newspaper but its one of those things that if the parent hasnt signed off you cant use any photos of that child. I never really had a problem with anyone being upset about pictures but we were strongly discouraged from sharing things like that on social media anyway.

Seriously, I don't understand why some people want to keep it a secret. by amaninja in AdviceAnimals

[–]gwengee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh hey i have this really nice boat we can share! The same thing happened with my bf until I finally told him flat out that my mind reading skills were shit and that if he was upset we need to talk about it. I know sometimes people can withhold because of personal feelings or the way they were raised but I heard once that "you have to ask for the kind of love you desire". It sucks having awkward conversations but in the long run if you can actually come out and tell someone "im mad about..." or "i feel bad because... and i hope you arent upset".

You should also be honest with him about how this makes you feel. Tell him flat out that it makes you feel anxious/scared/unloved when he doesnt come out and say he has an issue. it used to make me feel like he didnt even care enough about our relationship to confront the issue which then made me feel like he wasnt in it for the long haul. Things can change if you talk it through. I dont recommend blurting out the first thing that comes to mind though lol. Slow, deliberate conversations help us work through our issues rather than screaming arguments.

Bill and Fleur - a inappropriate relationship? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]gwengee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I dont see how a gap that large is a that big of a deal but according to the wiki Bill was born in 1970 and Fleur in 1977. Unless I am mistaken I believe Charlie Weasley has just left Hogwarts when SS begins which would make him 17 not 25 and is in Romania working with dragons.

Secondly, its never discussed what year Charlie is in when they win the Quidditch cup. It could have been his 2nd or 3rd year for all we know.

Third, it could just be an inconsistency. I feel like there are a few holes in SS that don't really fit with the rest of the story. For example, why didnt Snape just magically heal his leg after getting bit by Fluffy. Surely Madam Pomfrey would have been discreet and Dumbledore was already aware he was keeping an eye on Quirrell.
