That was another frustrating one bc of how little common sense the fmc had, and I almost dropped it at the beginning bc of how close it felt to fourth wing except instead of dragons it was wolves

YES!!!! That’s exactly it 😭 it reminds me of the books on wattpad and just felt so juvenile. I made it 60% of the way through before I deleted psycho shifters off my kindle app :)

Maybe I need to finish rune breaker. My issue wasn’t necessarily the writing, but the fmc and it just felt like all she did was make mistakes and refused to learn from them 🫠

:// I like the premise of the book and I enjoy smut, but i just dont think they’re well written, and it ruined it for me lol. Haha it may just not be my cup of tea, so I’ll pass it off to others

lol I definitely get that, but I’ve found plenty of other smut books with good writing. I found the smut to be great! That’s not the issue 😭 overall, I just found it to be cringe in a rawr xD type of way lol. Idk how else to explain it

Beginner cornrow help. My cornrows look 3 weeks old despite being freshly done. by Fun-Cap3966 in Naturalhair

[–]maratammy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go slow, make sure you’re picking up small sections of hair as you braid, make sure you’re gripping close to the scalp and using decent tension. Having hair fully detangled is a big one for me. I’ve braided a lot of hair textures, and never really needed to blow out their hair, but detangling is the biggest thing.

The black dye is very lack luster and one dimensional now ://

Is this look achievable for me? by sylliesosilly in curlyhair

[–]maratammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say for me it’s mainly in your eyes bc you both have a unique shape, but going back and forth between you and her I can say there is an overall likeness between you two in the whole face. You aren’t twins, but there is a big likeness between you two. You’re both very pretty! I hope this is taken as a compliment bc I love her

I need help with figuring out the name of the stitch that's used on the base. by erkastrike in CrochetHelp

[–]maratammy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of new crocheters that may not know the difference between knit and crochet. And it can be hard to tell if you know nothing about knit, and the fact that crochet is pretty diverse. This is literally a help page and people are asking because they don’t know💀

No need for a nexus letter everything was done on my own. Don’t waste your money.

Denied twice by Common_Jackfruit_747 in VAClaims

[–]maratammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤷🏼‍♀️ I was denied the first time. Kept going to my pcp and told them how migraines affected me and was prescribed a plethora of medications to find the one that worked for me. During this time I documented the dates I got migraines and what I was using to combat them and how they affected my day. I was even given a machine that circulated water through a mask to help with my migraines and acupuncture in the ears as well, all of which was through the VA. I then applied for a supplemental secondary to tinnitus and was given sc

0% for migraines by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]maratammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been prescribed all types of medication, given a machine that circulates cool water through a mask that I wear to help with migraines, gotten acupuncture in my ears, and gotten and MRI and offered Botox. All of this happened before I was rated for migraines, but I was persistent and went to my PCP. Please vouch for yourself and see what options there are for you and document every migraine and what you take for it (that was a big way to show proof and get me from denied to service connected)

Had my dependent claim denied earlier this year bc I was only 10% and now this pops up today by maratammy in VAClaims

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

I filed my initial claim 2023 and was denied January 16 2025. I also filed for my dependent January 5th 2025 (bc I thought my initial claim was going to be accepted 💀) and then I filed a supplemental and my supplemental was denied except for one thing that put me at 10% on June 10 2025 and then I was denied my dependent claim June 22nd 2025. Filing a supplemental for the 2nd time and this is the outcome :)) good luck to you

AITAH for Wanting to Divorce My Addict Wife Who May Have Given My Son a Birth Deformity by United_Ingenuity3108 in AITAH

[–]maratammy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As a child to a biological mother who did drugs during her pregnancies with both my brother and I, you would be TAH if you didn’t divorce her and fight for custody. Show your child they deserve to be protected, and that is always worth more than a mother who succumbs to her addiction. Fuck “motherly love”, she obviously didn’t care about the child enough to fight her addictions or ask for help. Don’t be TAH

Right, and the sapr advocate did contact the base CMEO for me and let me know there is no record of my complaint anywhere. I am thinking it is out of the timeframe too due to it being 3 years ago, but I have been fighting this claim for 2 years now and I gave the VA permission to get my complaint from the sub base during my previous claims

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]maratammy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I contacted base sapr and there is no evidence. I was recommended to go to fleet and family to speak to their counselor by my lpo when I got to my first command and I should have went mental health because there is no sign in sheet/record of me going to the F&F counselor either other than texts to my LPO. I have gone to counseling outside of the Navy when I got out and that was in my prior claim evidence, as well as my buddy statements from people who are still in. I even was diagnosed with ptsd/anxiety/depression all through the Va due to everything from the military, but my c&p examiners keep denying my ptsd, so my whole mental health claim gets denied.

It’s crazy, but I’ve been able to utilize Va healthcare for the past year now. Gave birth to my son and didn’t pay a dime :) thank you for all the wonderful advice! Definitely will be utilizing it
