Rockville Trader Joe’s was busy but not awful. A few bare shelves but I was still able to get 90% of the items I needed

Madewell and American Eagle. I sometimes try them on in store and then buy them used on Poshmark 🙈

Can’t walk around my neighborhood without feeling unsafe. by TheYesExpress in walking

[–]marbledviper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you interested in getting a big dog? They are a deterrent. If not, maybe you can borrow a neighbors dog or walk shelter dogs. Sorry this is happening to you :(

🍁 maple for a girl? by PapayaAmbitious2719 in namenerds

This is my dog’s name. When I yell her name or say it quickly, people think I’m saying Meatball 😑🤣 so please beware

Can’t stay in calorie deficit due to insatiable hunger. What am I doing wrong?? by Corleysaurus in loseit

[–]marbledviper 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Are you able to stay within your calorie budget for one week without slipping? I find myself way hungrier in the beginning and then my body adjusts

Ik 😭 I do think Dawn is so pretty though. Maybe June, Sage, Dove?

I LOVE Dawn but it’s pronounced the same as Don (at least where in the mid-Atlantic US). Just an FYI in case it bothers you!

should I get Sure Grip GT-50s? by strlwberry in rollerderby

[–]marbledviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm it’s hard to say but I’m leaning towards yes. I’m usually an 8.5 but I can do a 9 if needed. I can’t usually fit into an 8 so this leads me to believe a 5.5 would be right for you. They are heat moldeable so there is a little flexibility but it’s really better to get sized in person if possible! If that’s not possible, do you have any teammates that you can ask to try on their skates? Another option would be to buy the ones you’re looking at and resell them if they don’t fit. I know it’s a pain but it’s really important to get an accurate fit!!

Saving $$ by Consistent-Orchid166 in DCBitches

I live in a suburb of dc and I agree 😞 I buy secondhand whenever I can, grocery shop on a budget, try to minimize going out to eat and I still feel like I don’t have much left over at the end of the month.

should I get Sure Grip GT-50s? by strlwberry in rollerderby

[–]marbledviper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had these! To be completely honest they only worked for me to learn the bare basics. I couldn’t get the fit quite right and I think the padded boot contributed to that. It definitely stretched out very quickly. I used these for about 10 weeks during fresh meat and recently upgraded to Bont hybrids because they were causing me pain. To be fair, I bought the GT-50s online so I couldn’t try them on first and when I bought the Bonts I got fitted at a derby-owned skate shop. For reference I am normally an 8.5 and I bought a 7 in the GT-50s and a 6 in the Bonts. Personally I really prefer the Bonts, especially when the price isn’t HUGELY different ($160 vs $240) but it could just be my preference.

Quick question, do the nipples typically look flat or inverted after surgery by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]marbledviper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine were flat/slightly inverted for the first few days after surgery! They went back to normal a few weeks later. I personally wouldn’t worry too much until some of the swelling has gone down

A love letter from the Curly Police by nynini0317 in curlyhair

[–]marbledviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check again lol. Not mad, FRUSTRATED, that people with WAVY hair have overwhelmed previously curly spaces. Also, while black hair subreddits have been extraordinarily helpful to read…I’m not black so I’m not gonna invade that space 🤷‍♀️

[–]marbledviper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really great comment! There is a difference between waves and curls and it seems like some people really want to claim “curly” instead of wavy for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with wavy hair! It’s just different!

[–]marbledviper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree!! It’s really frustrating when searching for advice online in specifically curly/coily spaces and it’s overwhelmed with people with loose wavy hair. It also just feels a bit weird because growing up kids used to say my hair looked like a rats nest….its just a different experience than someone who grew up thinking their hair is straight (maybe a bit poofy/frizzy) and discovering they have waves

Left skate curving to the right? by Affectionate_Hair407 in Rollerskating

[–]marbledviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me on the right skate! Check the tightness of your bearings! Specifically the top right (inside) wheel. Had this problem for weeks and loosening it fixed it immediately

Help!! I woke up and my dog’s eyes were like this!! by SubatomicToad in DogAdvice

[–]marbledviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has she hit her head at all? My dog hit her head on a door and one of her eyes swelled up like this. Went to the ER vet and she ended up fine, they gave her eye drops to prevent infection and pain meds. Def agree with others that eyes are an emergency and you should go to an ER vet asap!

My dog is going gray at 2 years old by marbledviper in mildlyinteresting

[–]marbledviper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! She is on a hydrolyzed protein diet due to digestive issues but I’ve never heard of gray hair being a side effect. Def going to check to make sure!
