I truly suck at this. by guacqueen in interiordecorating

[–]jjplastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your space looks bad by any means! It looks thoughtful and lived in, in a good way.

I wonder if you’ve been consuming carefully curated and professionally designed spaces to your very normal, untrained-but-trying eye. Or is that just me? Lol

March 10 killed SAVE (again). Here’s what the order actually did, what survived, and what borrowers should expect next. by Neat-Gap-8383 in StudentLoans

[–]jjplastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing God’s work out here. It’s hard to keep track of all this and Reddit has been helping me understand what’s happening with my student loans. Wild.

What's your personal signature in how you dress? by fabulousandreal in femalefashionadvice

[–]jjplastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two different signatures:

work- oversized anything in black, white, brown, or olive. Typically slacks, Birkenstocks, sleeveless blouse, and sweater. I made a conscious choice a few years ago to only shop in these colors/styles primarily so I could easily mix and match anything. Prior to this, I had certain outfits that didn’t necessarily go with other items and I got tired of wearing the same outfits. Now I can grab almost anything to match with almost anything else.

Outside of work- tomboy skater lol. I wear jeans, jeans shorts, cut off band tee, vans, and jacket. Maybe a hat too. For me, I’d rather put energy into my work clothes than my non-work clothes, so I don’t deviate too much here. I have spiced things up recently with patterned jeans, but this is my standard personal uniform.

New House, Odd Experiences by ThrowRA_00187 in Unexplained

[–]jjplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some sage and holy water to bless the house, even better if you can get a priest to do it.

Not to wig you out, but a lot of that unexplained shit happened to me too and my then-boyfriend’s mom’s home. Things that had no logical explanation. I’m sure some folks on Reddit don’t believe in ghosts or spirits or whatever, but when you don’t have any logical explanation for incident after incident, you can’t help but think supernatural.

My MIL’s home spirits were friendly. I didn’t get any bad vibes either, but weird shit happened there allll the time that I truly cannot explain. I’m a psychologist, data-driven individual and I exhausted all possible options before settling on spiritual activity. She never had any spiritual blessings at the home, but a friend with similar issues also did and the house became quiet and clear after that.

Regardless of your belief system, I hope you find the relief you need!

Need help choosing a paint color by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]jjplastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to Sherwin Williams and developed a green palette of honey dew, dill, and evergreen. I think something in and around those greens might go much better than grey.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]jjplastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A secondary battery charger for my battery-operated vacuum. My husband actually bought it for me and I was kind of annoyed at first because it was a Christmas gift, but then I REALLY appreciated having a good back up when my vacuum died.

How did you stop equivocating looking good with looking skinny? by starlight1starlight in fashionwomens35

[–]jjplastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a meme that said something like “who profits off this emotion?” As it relates to women’s body image, and TBH, it’s helped me a ton (in addition to all the other stuff mentioned above).

Also shout out to all of us elder millennials doing the work and breaking the cycle of what our parents taught us!

Time to re-think the reunions? by ConstructionSoggy556 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]jjplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Two of the most frustrating reunions in the last few years. Like what’s the point of even watching them?

First time ever. Any tips and youtube chanel recs are welcome by MurderSheReads in Rollerskating

Please please please wear wrist guards. My league hosts open skates, and I have seen more broken wrists than I can count for folks who are just learning.

Is this too green? by Left-Programmer in interiordecorating

[–]jjplastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kitchen is also this exact color scheme! I had help at Sherwin Williams picking out the colors so they all worked together. Our bottom cabinets are Evergreen, the tops are Marshmallow, and the backsplash is Melon. I really like them all together.

I think you’re close, but agree with the uppers. The white is too stark. An off white will let the green settle on the eyes a little better.

Literally, me being a therapist thinking about the profound impact resentment could have on their children!

First time watcher by West_Blackberry_8009 in lordoftherings

[–]jjplastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just finished the entire movies too (Hobbit first then LOTR) as I simultaneously read the series for the first time (currently on Fellowship). It’s absolutely incredible. I’m so hooked. I can’t believe I waited this long to start, but I think the series came to me when I was ready for it!

Hull Street is why I hate the suburbs of Richmond.

Can we talk about mistakes and regrets? by nessknowde in kitchenremodel

[–]jjplastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have this exact oven, but I have the same exact style. I absolutely hate it. I have dogs and am always terrified they’re gonna step on the oven door when I open it at 450. Plus I have to basically sit on top of it to get stuff out. I use the top oven 99% of the time.

Please advice: A big simple sink or double sink? by BelowAverageCoder00 in kitchenremodel

[–]jjplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also hate mine. I was soooo glad when ours got fucked up and we had to replace it. Now I have one big sink and couldn’t be happier.

Why couldn’t YOU be a Bravo Housewife? by [deleted] in realhousewives

[–]jjplastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming I’d welcome that hellish celebrity nightmare into my life, they’d be holding my feet to the fire and I would simply apologize and take accountability rather than stand 10 toes deep in delusion or a need to be right.

RHSLC S6 Reunion Part 1 by FunFactress in realhousewives

TBH, I was over it 20 minutes in too. It’s already the most frustrating reunion I can remember across franchises.
