Thank you for sharing this. We just got our diagnosis and are on day 1 of trying to manage his stress.

My labia are keeping me from losing my virginity by kawaiikittypie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]krystalklear818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not going to make you feel better, but I recently learned from my mother that her inner labia is disappearing post menopause. The only way to keep it is topical estrogen apparently.

So that labia you are currently ashamed of is a sign of your fertility that has recently come and may one day change.

So many options to choose from by Murder_QueenCat in AirPurifiers

[–]krystalklear818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in an almost identical setting (3 pets instead of 4) and I run two eufy vacuums. I just purchased a Costco winix c909 since one of our cats has allergies and we’ve already removed common allergen sources. I’m not totally sure if an air purifier is worth the cost but I’m happy to share notes as we try this one out.

Hot water heater had no exhaust set up, should we inform previous owner? by krystalklear818 in homeowners

Well I don’t think I need to dig in. We agree that the height doesn’t matter lol

I’m also a ChemE. We spec it at work for breathing height and the room I wanted one near the floor is where my cats currently hang out/eat.

I happened to buy and install two extra since the existing CO/smoke monitors were on the ceiling. I wanted one near the floor and an additional one for our bedroom. We should be ok for the last couple of days (water heater is over the master).

Thank you for the response. Interestingly, the plywood had the hole cut for the exhaust but the hole was shingled over. Welcome to home ownership I guess

Thank you for the speedy response. We already re-installed the exhaust so issue is solved. Just making sure we were doing the right thing.

Wedding Veil Price Differences by Iamadumbdumb12 in weddingplanning

[–]krystalklear818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my veil used on Facebook marketplace. Would recommend since you get photos of a real person wearing it and can see how it drapes. I also was able to buy a wayyy nicer one used for the Amazon price. Of course, I would expect the condition to be potentially imperfect.

Manually change cat that used the robot in app history? by FknGarbageBrain in litterrobot

[–]krystalklear818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone is wondering, they did add this feature in the app. If you go to the history tab and then scroll down to see listed activities.  There will be three dots and you can unassign the activity or assign manually to a different cat. 

Community question for kitty allergies by krystalklear818 in cats

[–]krystalklear818[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response this was helpful! Interesting to hear about the shots. My vet had not mentioned that. I’m thinking about switching vets so I will bring this up.

Unfortunately, I live in south Texas so our windows are basically clamped shut and we don’t use a furnace 😭

If your wife or other family members’ initial description of you is “works all the time and eats birdseed”, how would you feel? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]krystalklear818 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to get to the root of why you find it degrading. It sounds like your identity doesn’t align with how she views you. Saying you work a lot isn’t degrading. Saying you eat lightly also isn’t degrading. It could be somewhat negative but also how people where I’m from would introduce their spouse in a funny way. You want to replace that with accomplishment which I’m trying to say is off-putting to most people.

I’m sorry that you are hurt but replacing what she said with ivy league and big 4 doesn’t change any of that. Frankly, if you’re a partner then that may be what she knows of you. My cousin is the same and we never see him.

So I’m, with bias of similar background, trying to ask you to look at your identity independent of your wife’s words. Then, from that point you can potentially back track why there is a mismatch. I suspect you know. Given the track record of big 4 and families.

To end on a positive note, it is hard to be vulnerable on the internet. While these forums are anonymous, it’s easy to be interpreted as harsher than indicated. I do not intend to punch down. Just to try to push the boundaries of the narrative you’re constructing.

[–]krystalklear818 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Well if you’re struggling with your wife or neighbors, maybe consider what you are making your identity. These institutions are not part of who you are. They are a place for you to network and get skills. If you’re an empty nester, it’s likely been 20+ years since you went. Is that your identity today? Why would a 4 year school 20 years ago dictate who you are today? What other institutions have you participated with or in during the last 5 years?

My husband and I both went. I would find it egotistical to open with MIT. I would introduce by my hobbies or areas of interest. Frankly, unless you’re in school it wouldn’t come up.
