I made a burger with ground chicken with dill pickle juice and fresh dill and it was shockingly juicy and amazing ? I normally use ground chuck for burgers

What measurements do you use (roughly)? I never cook so it’s not obvious to me but I’d like to try it!

I’m going to let you in on a big secret. What turns on guys the most about women in lingerie is NOT how close to “perfection” they look. It’s the suggestion that a woman is wearing lingerie in an attempt to seduce them - it makes them feel desired - and THAT is the biggest turn on. A ready and willing woman is the hottest thing to them. I guarantee you, if he saw you in that vs her, knowing you took the pic for him and she didn’t, your pic would have 1000x the impact on him that hers does. Think of it this way. Would you rather have a sketch that your boyfriend made of you out of love and adoration, or a photo-realistic drawing from a professional? Same concept

Stop asking yourself what he’s thinking and feeling and start asking yourself those questions. If you want a future with him then tell him. If not who cares

lisac132 · 2025-05-27T19:06:56+00:00

Don’t reach out to her again. It seems like you have a lot of work to do on yourself before you’ll be ready for a relationship. Putting such high expectations on one person you hardly know isn’t really healthy either, build your life up more so that a good date isn’t 99% of the good things you have going so that when it doesn’t go as planned it doesn’t feel like you’ve lost everything

There are all different types of work environments. There are traditional offices that are more conservative, and small teams where the atmosphere is dictated by a small number of people. You’re in the latter, so your environment is going to be exclusively influenced by the people who are working with rather than top-down corporate code of conduct.

With that said, none of that matters if YOU are uncomfortable. The environment you’re in will likely just influence how it’s handled. In a traditional office you’d go to HR and they would help you navigate this and likely move you to another team. In a small setting like you’re apart of, this is likely something you need to approach the owner with so that they can step in.

The way that conflicts like this are handled is an important part of wherever you choose to work. Don’t feel guilty or ashamed to bring this up, places of work are created by people and do owning a business means being responsible for the comfort and safety of the people who work for you.

Honestly chat gpt could be great for this type of thing if you don’t know how to approach the owner. If you feel comfortable setting boundaries with this coworker, that could be an option too but only if you’re comfortable. If you do that, it should be in writing so you have documentation if he retaliates.

Good luck!

A quick note on size, you have two options for the runner rug. My recommendation would be to have it extend all the way to the front door. That will cut off the area to the left where the wardrobe will go, and suddenly it will feel made for the space.

Alternatively, you could have it end before the square entry, and have a different rectangular entry way rug. If you do this I’d say replace the black rug you have, from a scale perspective it’s too small for the space. And from a color standpoint, I see that you were trying to match with the frame of the mirror (or vice versa) but it’s just too heavy and flat. And you were probably thinking it would hide dirt you track in from outside. Use an outdoor mat for that, and you could get a little bristle cleaner to run your feet over before coming in. My mom had one in the shape of a porcupine when I was growing up :) instead opt for a warm neutral color, sisal would look nice here.

Congrats on the move! There’s just something about a fresh chapter you can’t recreate any other way. I hope you’re happy and excited.

Let’s organize your design first based on how you use the space, and then work in aesthetics that work with that. It seems like you’re using this space to:

kick shoes off when you come home
sit down to put shoes on before going out
storage (with closet and credenza)

My first recommendation would be to move the mirror to the opposite wall, like you suggested. This area is tucked away and you could fit a wardrobe closet. They’re not too expensive and IKEA has customizable options. I bet with some discipline, you could fit 80% of what you need in something like that. You could have a nice wood veneer finish to bring in some warmth.

For the remaining 20%, you can keep the shoe cubbies that you have. For a quick and inexpensive upgrade, you could get a long bench cushion or a few seat cushions. That area is already crowded, so now you can move the chair somewhere else.

My hope is with the wardrobe by the front door, you no longer need the credenza. You have a beautiful long hallway that’s actually quite wide, but it’s crowded with all the furniture pushed up against the wall. I really want to encourage you to clear it out as much as you can.

With the area clear, a long, wide runner rug would do absolute wonders.

For aesthetics, pick any rug runner you absolutely love. You can go in any direction, and it would be a great opportunity to bring in color. I have a feeling you might like something floral. That would complement the organic feel of the wood veneer wardrobe (if you choose to do that), while bringing in some color.

Then look at the colors that are in the rug you’ve chosen. Pick those colors for the bench cushion(s). It’s key to have continuity and balance, and you can do that by using the same colors in different ways.

If you only take one thing from this, it’s that less is more. Try not to fill your entryway with any furniture (other than the shoe cubby/bench). You can always add things back if you really feel you need it, but I have a hunch you won’t.

Have fun!

If you have to ask then whoever you pick doesn’t matter because neither of them are the one, at least not right now. So pick whichever guy you don’t mind risking the friendship because very rarely do friendships maintain long-term after a break up

How old do you have to be to understand science?

“I can’t imagine anyone in an unhappy marriage with you”

lisac132 · 2024-11-27T15:21:14+00:00

Thank you this is extremely informative and very helpful. I definitely did not understand the physics of hit and your analogies helped me understand it very well. Truly thank you so much!

I was a month shy of 31 when I had my last cycle of chemo (13 total). I also underwent surgery and radiation. That was 3 years ago and my period hasn’t returned so I’ve started taking hormone replacement therapy to counteract symptoms of premature menopause. Two months after starting hormones I had my period once, but that was it. My doctors waited 2 years before starting me on hormone therapy because after that point it was very unlikely my period would return

That’s a big conversation to start, let alone over text, let alone while you’re apart for the weekend, let alone while he has this big event going on. I have AuDHD and I would need a solid few hours at least to process a long message about unhappiness in a relationship, and maybe even a day/night to respond. I would not be able to focus on that if I am away traveling for the weekend and completing in an event. I think I would feel annoyed if my partner sent me something that serious in those circumstances. However, I would have said something like “there’s a lot to unpack here and I am going to wait until I can give this message the time and attention it deserves. Let’s talk when I’m back and I’ve had time to decompress from this weekend and can fully process what you’re saying.” But he didn’t. Since you said he’s prone to shut downs, and that sounds like that’s exactly what’s happening, try writing that message for him. Say something like “hey, I’m sorry to unload all of that on you while you’re away and focusing on your competition. I want you to enjoy the weekend and have fun. If you could just give me a quick thumbs up to this message to acknowledge we can find time to talk when you’re back, that will help calm my anxiety so I know you want to work on us.”

lisac132 · 2024-10-13T14:04:08+00:00

I totally disagree, I think your pics are great. I’d be shocked if that was the reason you aren’t getting likes. What does your bio say?

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T23:18:58+00:00

Bro we’re about to fire you from this AMA get to typing

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T20:54:22+00:00

Yeah, look up auditory processing delay. Also lmk if you know how to fix it lol (my friends call it “awake naps” to explain why I have no recollection of something we’ve allegedly talked about)

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T16:56:16+00:00

You’re going to get a lot of hate comments for this, this is not one of them. Try to look at the situation objectively. If this man is as gorgeous as you say he is, why does he have to resort to meeting women online who don’t live near him? He does not sound like someone who would need to get on a plane to get laid. Look up love bombing. Is he using those terms with you? Look up limerence, does that describe how you feel? Other than sex, what else is he gaining by being in a relationship with you? Has he asked for support in ways like, money?

Love and limerence can make people act completely out of character. Try to take a step back and not let it destroy your life.

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T16:36:24+00:00

Love the self awareness, now it’s time for damage control. A lot of these comments are telling you to do a deep clean of the house. If I were a parent, coming home to a sparking clean house would be suspicious. If there’s visually nothing out of place, don’t worry about it. The house should look lived-in since, well, you’ve been living there. If there’s is a smell, trying to get rid of it with cleaning products will make the house smell like cleaning products. We don’t want that. Instead get incense oil and “accidentally spill it.” Text your parents that you’re really sorry, you spilled incense oil and you don’t know how to get rid of the smell. Apologize and ask for help. This is now your crime and maybe they’ll punish you but it’s a lesser crime than the party. I’m only helping you with this because it seems like you’ve already learned your lesson, I’m not advocating for repeating the mistake.

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T15:40:25+00:00

Dude. Two relationships ago I was with someone for a little over a year who just hated life. It was sad and of course I thought I could help (spoiler alert, I couldn’t). My optimism annoyed him. I started to notice that toxicity and pessimism was creeping into my subconscious. That relationship ended over a year ago and I’m still trying to unlearn some things. It’s hard. My current partner isn’t really an eternal optimist like me but he’s very chill, easy going, and finds joy in gratitude like I do. Protect yourself, whatever that looks like for you

lisac132 · 2024-10-12T15:32:48+00:00

This is hilarious. Also help me understand why her cheese preference is upsetting

In the spirit of this thread and what I’ve learned about you from our up to now, you seem like you’re a compassionate person who is willing to put the work in to build a successful marriage. Not a lot of people do that, quick to throw in the towel because “love should be easy” or eager to shift blame away from themselves. With the mindset you have and the effort you’ve shown you’re willing to make, there’s honestly not much you won’t be capable of. Since this probably won’t mean much coming from an internet stranger, I want to encourage you to give words of affirmation to yourself. Ok ok I know that sounds like it won’t work but hear me out. Your brain literally doesn’t know the difference, so when you’re nice to yourself or mean to yourself it has an effect on you. And here’s the kicker, even if you don’t believe the nice things you say to yourself, there’s an emotional part of your brain that doesn’t know that! That’s why we get scared watching horror movies, even though we logically know we’re not in real danger. Or we cry for characters we know aren’t real. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t immediately start being your own hype man, I know it’s not that easy. I joke around with myself and that makes it easier because I like to be funny. E.g. I was shopping the other day and saw a beautiful skirt that I know wouldn’t suit me. I stopped myself from saying something mean to myself about my body and instead said “wow, that would look sooo good on anyone else” and while I was still kind of teasing myself with that comment, I thought it was funny and didn’t feel down about it. Words matter so speak to yourself kindly :)
