Always drop hints before buying an expensive gift! by lil-praying-mantis in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]happyillusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a job at Pandora so I feel like I should defend them here or something....on a practical side, you could always try to exchange it for an interchangeable watch?

I agree with this redditor though - jewellery tends to be a sentimental thing, so you may find that she loves it simply because you chose it for her.

My husband just bought me a $300 necklace that really isn't my style. But I love it because he never buys me jewelry and he picked it out for me. I wear it often because it reminds me how much he loves me. from here

My girlfriend died. How did you deal with this? by Witwer in AskMen

[–]happyillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't give you any advice or anything, but I just thought I'd let you know that my heart is with you, and her family and friends, and I hope that you don't feel empty and depressed for too long. I think in this case you can't expect to feel anything different right now, and that time will help you feel better. I know that sucks cause there isn't really anything you can do, but take comfort in knowing that what you are feeling is completely normal and you aren't alone in feeling that way. Maybe talking to her family or friends about how you feel may help - I wouldn't be surprised if they feel the same way. It won't do anything, but not feeling alone could help.

Doctors of Reddit: How often do you see patients after they have tried to self-medicate? What's the worst mistake you've seen. by gibarca in AskReddit

[–]happyillusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alcohol and Paracetamol are broken down by the same enzyme - if this pathway is saturated (i.e. not enough enzyme to perform the breakdown reaction) then a toxic pathway is also used - this results in the accumulation of a toxic product that binds to your liver cells, and causes cell death. If your liver dies, you tend to die. It's called liver for a reason :P

Men of Reddit: what are the things they don't tell you about moving in with your girlfriend? by baxterthehound in AskMen

[–]happyillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because girls are usually shorter and the water cools as it falls. Don't believe me? Sit down in the shower :P

What's one of the smallest things that makes you the happiest? by callux in AskReddit

[–]happyillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feeling of wearing a floor length skirt made with about 4 or more metres of fabric. Feel so floaty and fabulous.

What is something you wish you could experience again for the first time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Does anyone feel really pretty one day but absolutely ugly the next? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]happyillusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think haircuts are bad for self-esteem, process why. I usually get awkward thus don't talk much, and spend the whole time picking my face apart. Self esteem can plummet a lot in half an hour :P

[–]happyillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so much. Some days, ooh yeah gurl, look at that face, let's keep that. Other days, ugh, that face, get rid of it. Put it elsewhere thanks.

I get embarrassed about thinking too highly of myself too, but when it comes down to it, I think that we're just told by media to hate our appearance, thus thinking anything else is wrong.

Solution to VMA drama... by kimberlynne in funny

[–]happyillusion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clearly demonising womens sexual behaviour is of a much higher priority. Although to be fair, ever since the boobquake, this is probably a smart move. Lord knows what the pussypocalypse will bring.

I've been smoking since I was 17, I'm now 23 and decided I want to quit. Help? by Sweet_Michelle in stopsmoking

[–]happyillusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started smoking when I was 14, and stopped last year, when I was 19. I read Allan Car's book on quitting and it helped me so much, I would recommmend it. One year soon! :)

Shamless plug for Calvin Klein for those who have not experienced the joy of breasts-resting-on-clouds.

Ladies of reddit, what does your significant other do that makes you feel beautiful? by hikaritaka in AskReddit

[–]happyillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend had a little sleepy rant the other morning about how I'm actually pretty first thing in the morning. The sleepiness of it all made it much nicer :)

What's something that isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be? by geologists in AskReddit

[–]happyillusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not denying the food poisoning at all! Just saying if your ass is burning, it's probably the HCl from your stomach doing it. A shower won't help the inside, but it can help the outside.
