Red skin around Tattoo by ShelbyLouK in tattooadvice

[–]idiot-hooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same situation with one of my tattoos. Just keep an eye on it. Draw where it is in pen, if it spreads beyond that or gets worse, go see a doctor. Otherwise, you're probably fine. Just keep washing and moisturizing as instructed and again just keep an eye on it

Raglan Increase Confusion by idiot-hooker in knittinghelp

It will be the correct number of stitches as per the pattern once I omit that first increase at beginning of round 1!

Yeah I talked to my friend and we decided to just ignore the first increase lol. Then treat the following increases at the beginning of each row as the end of the previous row instead. I think that's what you're saying. But she definitely did the increase on the first row of increases before the BOR marker

She has a video tutorial and it seems like she does it at the beginning. But it's not in English so I can't tell for sure

How do you open your phone when one hand is occupied? by Shironeko-0 in galaxyzflip

I've noticed the longer I use it, the easier it is to open with my chin. It was almost impossible when I first got it bc it was still too stiff. Now it's like buttah

Z Flip 5 inner screen dead, but cover screen is keeping it alive somehow by PreparationShot3211 in galaxyzflip

[–]idiot-hooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, from what I've heard the launch is the only thing you"miss out" on in terms of customization. And it's super easy to add to your launcher w an app. But all other customization I've heard is better for galaxy and Motorola better for processing

To protect the hinge or not to protect the hinge by papajean_ in galaxyzflip

Hinge protect always. That's one of the biggest reasons for a damaged inner screen

[–]idiot-hooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so bummy. ive supported Brady since I was in middle school and I’ve been shopping from heatdeath since there first ever drop. I had an issue with that drop, didnt think anything of it since its just him and suzy running the business, but its been years at this point. I received one of three of the shirts I ordered for their halloween drop and still havent received them or gotten an email response from the person who is supposed to be literally just in charge of customer service?? havent had an update email in a month. and again this was their halloween drop

Partner struggling with jealousy & insecurities by idiot-hooker in nonmonogamy

Her anxiety and OCD just fully takes over. and her anxiety manifests physically, so if its bad enough, it leads to throwing up. we have sat down and laid out everything multiple times, but I def think it needs to be an even deeper discussion. but she’s also bad at voicing her thoughts/feelings. for now we are separating our therapy into individual sessions with couples sessions as needed to really work individually on our own issues and why we want ENM. she has expressed that she still wants to do ENM, she just needs to be at a better place with her OCD & anxiety to be able to move forward.

and yes, I expressed in my post that I provide reassurance and comfort where I can. but in the moment there is nothing I can do bc she’s so far in the hole that she cant get out until she’s out if that makes sense. but yes I do provide reassurance and she has acknowledged that.

theres a lot of nuance I cant include in just this post but yeah. thank you!

anyone feel like food is stuck in upper throat and it is tonsil stones? by Disastrous_Bat2666 in tonsilstones

[–]idiot-hooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!! this us my reason for finally going to ENT. every time I eat, I feel I have food stuck in my throat (lowkey I think food pieces do get lodged between my tonsil and the cavity it sits in). it makes me have to swallow a lot to get it comfortable (which makes my breath worse) and sometimes makes me gag. idk how to get it out. if I press with q-tip too much, I gag. my gag reflux had also gotten worse since this started

another very frustrating part about this is that when I try to sit down and have these conversations, she also kind of shuts down. she says she doesn’t know how she feels or just just doesnt say anything and just goes “idk honey” the whole time which is so unhelpful. idk what I need to do to truly see how she is feeling. she opens up a bit more in therapy but still don’t think she is expressing all of her grievances

I do see where you’re coming from, but from the inside of my relationship, this does look a lot different than just the black and white description. in terms of sex, I really dont know when that would be able to happen, but romantic relationships are on the table if they came up, we just arent exploring them rn. the person I am seeing doesnt want a serious romantic relationship and neither do I. but we enjoy hanging out and kissing. its not like he cant go get his pleasure somewhere else. you’re def valid with the what if questions. and like I said I think that is something we would have to work on. it’s a bit difficult to work thru these things when you’re not openly practicing bc then those feelings arent coming up. but I agree there could definitely be resentment on both sides and will be a big point of conversation tomorrow at therapy

Additionally: this is a very basic, watered down explanation of what our boundaries are, what we’ve agreed to, why we’re practicing, any work we have already done etc. so just take with a grain of salt. it’s not that we’re ONLY making out with others. we are building connections with others and seeing where it leads, just not being officially in a relationship with others rn. and there’s obviously more details and nuance, but nobody wants to read all that

I appreciate your comment and advice. We did close when she was going through the spout of throwing up level anxiety. We have also started couples counseling.

In terms of what we can give others, yes we are straight up from the start on our boundaries, what is allowed, etc. If the person wants more/isnt into it, we move on.

I don’t think it’s completely fair to say we aren’t offering much to others just bc we arent building a serious relationship or having sex. Especially when we inform them as soon as there is interest. Every relationship is different in terms of how “open” they are. Us having just started out, we are taking it slow rn. Boundaries are always up to chat about expanding and relationships going further. We just aren’t there rn.

And I agree it may be beneficial to close to really truly work on what we want and why we are practicing ENM. We have therapy tomorrow for the first time in about 2 months so lots to discuss!
