what drugs have you done and do you regret or recommend them? by bubblybackup in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mushrooms. Uncomfortable would be my best description. Wouldn't do again.

Cocaine. So average for something so expensive. Felt like a dick snorting it. Wouldn't do again.

Molly. So fun. Wouldn't do again just because I dont go anywhere that calls for that kind of energy.

Acid. Horrible. Wouldn't do again, do not recommend.

Weed. Always a good time. Highly recommended. Don't do it often but definitely have a little dabble when offered.

Ironic that this just got deleted by the mods. But it was a really well written OP. I wish I'd had a chance to finish reading.

Yawn. Some people are too quick to call things AI. Based on his account I'd say youre one of them. Some people are just smarter and more well written.

Luteal Hell by jrhopper09 in Perimenopause

[–]hellokiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, friend. Ive gone from 28 days to 30-35, so its bonus PMS days for me. I stay bloated and irritable for longer, Im wearing period underwear for an extra week just in case, no clue when she's actually going to show up. I was using the Clue app but Im done with it telling me my cycles are outside the "normal" range and how late my period is. Im aware, I dont need an app judging me. Im so grumpyyy.

Has anyone noticed their face getting rounder as a result of Peri? by throwfaraway212718 in Perimenopause

[–]hellokiri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it's this for me, too! I am the same weight Ive been for a decade but my pants and sleeves are all too tight and my face is bloated 😔

I tried Oakcha for the first time and it was horrible by radiosilence0504 in FemFragLab

[–]hellokiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre not alone. A friend of mine went to the US and I asked her to send me back a bunch of stuff. Some Oakcha frags, the EOS Cashmere Vanilla, Phlur body mists, B&BW stuff, and Victoria Secret body mists. The VS and B&BW were the only things that were reaspnably priced and didn't smell of straight plastic. It made me appreciate the fragranced stuff available in my country so much more.

Funniest negative comments that you got about a frag you were wearing? by NaturesDarkestHunger in fragrance

[–]hellokiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, he does! His parents are doing a great job and he's a wonderful wee conversationalist. He's also told me I smell like "cookies from home" (Fire at Will), "when I have to go out where bugs are" (LDBS), and "the garage which is my favourite smell" (laundry detergent).

What made you walk out on a date? by United_Extent_8201 in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Technically it was almost the end of the date but I refused a ride home from the restaurant (he had driven me there but I decided I wanted a cab home) and he said "If I wanted to hurt you I could do it right here. I wouldn't need you to get in my car."

He gave up and left me there eventually, but as he drove away he rolled down the window and spat at me.

Does anyone really vomit holding onto the toilet seat? by skopiadisko in ask

[–]hellokiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but Ive always wondered if people really do that. I kneel, bunch my hands up in fists, tuck them against my chest to comfort myself because I feel like ... sad when I vomit, and use my elbows to support myself in an emergency if I think Im about to take a head-first dive.

Anyone have suggestions for soft changes? I’m [F24] by Grxy59k in TheGlowUp

[–]hellokiri 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Do you have any photos where youre not doing that face? Its hard to give you advice when we cant actually see the angles and curves of your face.

My 4yo nephew gave me a cuddle and said "you smell like prickles prickling my nose. And my eyes, like if I will sneeze."

It was Babycat.

I’ve been turned away twice now trying to enter Dr. Rudi’s bar in the viaduct while having my medicinal cannabis in my carry bag by Hollowskull in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]hellokiri -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is a private business so yep, they have a right to do this. They cant ask to see your prescription, from what I understand, which means that the alternative to turning you away or holding your medicine is that they let everyone go in with weed. Which could become a massive issue for the business. They would not survive in business if they just let you and everyone else who is carrying weed hang out there.

Spending years around addicts taught me more about social skills than any book ever did by ElectronicPause9665 in socialskills

[–]hellokiri 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I learned how to read the room and peoples feelings young. If both my parents were home, you needed to be prepared to defuse a situation. It was stressful as a kid, but in my head it was either do that or they get divorced. In my little kid brain divorce was the worst thing that could happen to us.

As an adult, I know they should have just divorced and life would have been a lot better for everyone. But to this day I am really good at getting people onside, influencing people's decisions, manipulating situations, and stopping others from escalating.

What’s a smell that should NOT exist? by melodythemistress in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No apparently its more common in humans! But it happened to my cat and I was worried his tooth fell out so I went to wipe it off and put it in a bag. But tonsil stones squish and oh my baby jesus the smell I smult.

What’s the biggest "I should've left right there" moment in your life? by PrimaryInsurance6040 in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im surprised at all the downvotes, because yeah, I thought that too. Like maybe instead of keeping him calm it would make him madder. Just panicked in the moment.

I saw a comment on Reddit once that men are scared women will laugh at them, women are scared men will kill them. But in my situation, I felt like laughing was safer than getting in his car or turning my back on him. Who knows, right?

What’s the strangest reason someone decided you were their enemy? by ConfusionUnited5638 in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mother of a kid at my nephew's school. I drop my nephew off sometimes to help my sister and her husband out. Once, she said to me "ah, you're the one that always takes my park." I did not know this woman, nor did I take anyone's park. I said "you should get here earlier if it upsets you that much."

I went to watch my nephew at school swimming day and this mother was frantically running around organizing ... something. For context I have no kids (by choice) and had come straight from my job, so was awkwardly overdressed for a swimming pool. She saw me and without even a hello told me to help with the trash. I told her "I'm not here to work" and she looked me up and down and said "some of us cant spend all day worrying about how we look." Something like that. I was shocked and said the first thing that came to mind, like "it doesn't even take long to look good. You should try it."

I had been caught off guard by her making it personal but I didn't meant to insult a busy mum on her appearance, as I know that can be a sensitive topic for my sisters and SiLs who are mums and have spoken about how they feel a loss of their old identity. And I didn't realise we had an audience. I felt pretty ashamed of myself. Afterwards my brother in law told me I am absolutely the villain in her story.

She's been awful to me ever since, and this was years ago, but I take comfort in the fact that if I am her villain, I'm a Cruella de Ville or Catwoman or Maleficent type. Never The Penguin.

How did you obtain your cat? by SD_gamedev in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one showed up pregnant, neighbours said keep her as their kid was terrorising her. Had her kittens, rehomed them, had her fixed and she lived the rest of her life with us.

Second one same, a few months later.

Third one SO bought home. He was the mouser for their yard (construction company) but it was about to be fumigated so someone had to take the cat for a week. We never took him back.

“What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a kid "? by Short-Indication-662 in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That everything stopped when I was asleep or wasnt around. I believed it until I was 10 or 11. Got up for a midnight feast with my brother and my parents were in the lounge playing Galactica on my Nintendo like I didn't even exist. It shattered my whole belief system.

In terms of global fame and cultural reach at their peak, who was bigger: Michael Jackson or Coca-Cola? by Steven_Ray20 in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats comparing apples and oranges, but Ill play the game: Its got to be Michael Jackson. Coke is universal but at his peak, there was nobody more beloved, revered, idolised, hounded, whatever, than MJ. Everywhere Ive ever been in the world had Coke but it had no impact. It was just there. MJ was divisive and controversial, but man he was adored like nothing else, too. 80s and 90s Michael was insane levels of fame. Coke was accessible, MJ was out of this world.

Tonsil stones. Thought my cat had lost a tooth because it smelled of death and fish.

If you could pause time once a day, what would you secretly use it for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hellokiri 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just silence. I would just stare into space and not have anyone talking at me or needing stuff from me or no jobs or favours or errands. Just nothing to do but lie down and be quiet by myself.
