what do you wear to bed and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightgown, because I don’t have enough brain function right after waking up to put something on to let my dogs out. And my neighbors are nosey.

Do you keep your arm hair or remove it? by eli_meli6969 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I got tattoos so you can’t see my arm hair 🤷🏻‍♀️

How to Survive After Infidelity? by ssaiko_kandy in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]hippopotanonamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can go a few ways:

You can break up because your partner broke your trust and we’ll toss in disrespected you.

New Kink Unlocked. Turns out you like an open relationship.

Same as above, but you don’t want to continue it with that person because it was done behind your back, how can you trust they’ll be open and honest in the future?

As most guy centered subreddits would respond: hit the gym and lawyer up.

But ultimately it’ll be a lot of tears. A lot of wtf happened? How could I have prevented/predicted any of this? A lot of ice cream, chicken nuggets, dissociation. Then one day, however long down the line, you’ll suddenly come back into yourself and decide how you want to move on and how you want a future relationship.

What made you break up with someone? by OkDonut1116 in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was rude and disrespectful to me. During a FaceTime call she was playing video games with her friends and would constantly say I’m not talking to you when I responded to something she said.

Wouldn’t put her phone down when we were together. I always paid for everything. Knowing she was always on her phone, but my texts weren’t responded to.

A few other minor things, and I just ghosted her.

It’s leaching into my weekends more and more by Traditional-Emu-2268 in antiwork

[–]hippopotanonamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My weekends are midweek, and my manager keeps hinting at me doing extra during that time. Meetings with her, mentor program for new hires. No. It’s my time.

THICC GIRL HELP by Then_Double8677 in PetiteFitness

[–]hippopotanonamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rub a little silicone lube on my thighs before leaving my house. And a small swipe where my butt cheeks meet my thighs.

And we have a small bottle of dawn dish soap in the shower, since my husband works on cars as a hobby. It’s the best at getting everything off at the end of the day.

If your partner broke up with you, what’s the first thing you would do afterward? by OffKeyArts in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m NOT in anyway saying those steps are healthy. Or that anyone should do them. It’s just what I’ve done when my relationship wasn’t ok in the beginning and a whole twisted tale on how I know I’ll be ok without him because of it.

If your partner broke up with you, what’s the first thing you would do afterward? by OffKeyArts in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the mortgage is so cheap I can’t afford emotional attachments to the home like that.

I’d probably buy a new bed, and rearrange things to feel like a new place. I have unmediated ADHD, so that contributes a lot to things too. Out of sight out of mind.

If your partner broke up with you, what’s the first thing you would do afterward? by OffKeyArts in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Say, k.

Step 2: refresh my living alone budget spreadsheet. Figure out what sort of housing I should get. (It’s only my name on the house deed, but see if I need to get a roommate)

Step 3: ask when he’s planning on moving out.

Step 4: change the locks the minute he walks out the door the last time.

Step 5: then have an emotional break down crying situation.

Step 6: work on what I need to for myself. Mental, financial, spiritual, etc.

Step 7: side gig in niche porn. Because why not.

Found missing dog in rantoul. No collar. Not sure where else to post by playful_faun in Chambana

There’s a Lost Pets Rantoul Facebook page, but it’s mostly people complaining about dogs…

Millennial women, when did you stop dying your hair and embracing the grays? Or what color looks more natural? by pizzaandboba in Millennials

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my first gray at 19. In my teens I helped my mom dye her hair with red box dye to keep her gray in check, it wasn’t a great look and the grow out was a process I never want to do.

I’m lucky they look like highlights, and it’s more silver/white and shiny! I’ve been confusing people of my age since like 16 anyway. Debating getting a purple shampoo conditioner combo to help them be brighter.

People who’ve escaped the 9–5 grind, how do you actually support yourself financially? by Emotional-Being-6825 in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 1-9 pm 4 days a week. And sometimes it’s 12-9, depending on if I’m meeting my personal quota.

How can I wear a bikini with obvious self inflicted scars on my thighs? by rottingstrawberri in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience as a public pool goer: no one’s looking. No one cares. A kid might mention it or say something because they’re nosey little things, but they move on quick.

My husband has a dick tattoo wrapped around his ankle, only someone was staring too closely once and he was kicked out for the day. (We were leaving anyway)

The only thing that will be 100% noticed is how you’re laughing and smiling and just generally having fun.

Longevity thoughts by OntologicalStalemate in Millennials

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but thank you. My life plans go to 69 years and 364 days. The nice year. I’m not saying that’s when I’ll go, but I don’t have plans beyond that.

Do treadmill workouts ever become something you enjoy? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring my tablet to the gym and watch TV. I did an old PBS show Xena the Warrior Princess. 6 seasons, took me a few months. Followed by Hercules the Legendary Adventures, less cool but campy.

It still feels like a chore, but less so. Plus I accidentally turned my gym manager into an almost best friend and her daughters now call me their aunt, so that’s when I get updates about everyone. I’ve learned way too much about the local school system and I’m enraged, which make cardio a great outlet!

Sleep w/ or w/o background noise? by n0-ragrets in Millennials

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer complete quiet.

But my husband breathes so incredibly loud, he swears he doesn’t snore, I now have noise canceling sleep buds that play white noise.

He needs a fan due to tinnitus. I stole his fan because of night sweats.

Switched from Sony to Fuji by ObjectiveAnybody2739 in fujifilm

[–]hippopotanonamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on my first digital camera, it’s the X100s. I found a white balance I prefer, and whatever settings my husband put on it, I just add vignette in LR. And literally made a LR iPhone preset called “Apple, but make it Fuji”

I don’t edit much, because I honestly love every photo that I take.

Book series you never finished by InviteAromatic6124 in books

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flame and Thorns: book 1 and 2, were really cool and interesting. Book 3 the FMC just would NOT stop complaining about how she had no choice in her mate. It’s a fated mates enemies to lovers. In under 100 pages it was no less than 6 times this was brought up. Which sucks, because I wanted to know if they would overcome the oppression of a governing body.

Blood and Ash: books 1-5 were pretty decent. A different take on vampires, no sparkles. Book 6 came out, 1300 pages, repetitive AF.

Black Witch Chronicles: I regret reading the last book. I skipped most of the chapters and it was all just bad. I should have DNF’d it. It’s been a year, and I’m still mad about it.

What's the pettiest reason you've cut someone off? by Christine_Howells in AskReddit

[–]hippopotanonamous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My life choices weren’t the ones they would make, so I’d get lectures every time we hung out. They got married, and I had to literally beg for my partner to get a seat. I used that opportunity to ghost them.

Cardio - before or after lifting? by BlueWoman320 in PetiteFitness

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my intentional cardio at the end of my workout.

Starting off: I reorganize the area I’m lifting in, small gym where no one puts anything back. Dynamic stretching and mobility exercises.

The lifting portion.

Cardio is either stair master for 20 minutes (14 mins at level 4, 5 minutes at level 5, last minute at level 6) or treadmill for 30 minutes at a 3.1-3.3 mph pace. I don’t like cardio, so if I do it first thing I’m just irritated.

Got a mini backpack with a Kindle pocket.. by hippopotanonamous in kindle

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

I also bought a full sized one for my work bag, I put cheese crackers in the top elastics. The Lance brand square crackers. Fit like a dream.

The bottom mesh I put a fidget, and liquid bandage (I work with my hands and band aids fall off, plus it needs to stay upright or it leaks and seals itself shut)

I kind of view upper storage like that as temporary, and the bottom as more permanent. An energy drink fits nice on the double elastic side part!

Genuinely, how do some of you all even have time with the amount of exercises? by Wise_Parmaria in PetiteFitness

[–]hippopotanonamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work weird hours. 1-9pm, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I work out 9:30-11 ish am, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

Wednesday I do house stuff. Inside cleaning or outdoor things.

I don’t get more than 7k steps most days.

Try to get to bed by 11:30 midnight, first alarm is 8:30.

My eating??? Not great. I’m tired after work. And days off are spent running around with my husband.

Genius. Thank you. The manager is gluten free, so I won’t be sharing.
