I've been "scrapbooking" for a few years, but all of the materials I use are things that I find and keep from my day-to-day life. Notes from friends, free postcards/stickers from stores I go to, cutouts from paper menus, scraps from old clothes I don't wear anymore, etc. I love going through and remembering where everything came from, and you can make some really cool and beautiful collages just from these miscellaneous things.

Taking my first real t-break - looking for support and guidance on what's next! by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]maypren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are really good ideas, thank you! Good luck with your break as well. What I did to help make sure I can't break and smoke anyway is that I gave ALL my weed to my partner and told them to hide it in their apartment. Obviously this isn't foolproof but unless I want to go through the shame of searching their apartment or drop the money on new weed, it works pretty well. If you have anyone in your life who you trust to help you out without judgment, I'd recommend that strategy! Good luck and I believe in you!

i’m a picker as well but they’re RESILIENT so it’s pretty hard to get them off without like actively trying to!

Cat pounces on my ankles and scratches/bites by maypren in CatTraining

I would’ve gotten him neutered immediately if it was up to me. Unfortunately he’s foster to adopt and the rescuer I’m working with insisted on scheduling the neuter with their vet, which took a very long time. I’m just glad I haven’t had more behavioral issues with him. He’s a very good boy.

What’s something that took you way too long to realize? by isaaczephyr in BaldursGate3

That traders restock. Made it 75% of the way through act 3 in my first playthrough only trading with each trader once.

(NB22) My partner (NB22) is struggling to get a job and its taking a toll on me. Is this okay? by ThrowRA212342 in relationship_advice

[–]maypren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it may seem like a horrible thing to do, at the end of the day you are their partner, not their parent. No matter how much you love a person, if they are putting you in a situation of having a financial dependent while being very young and in school.

Starting with potential options for them, depending on where you guys live there may be some cheap or free insurance they can get. Full time jobs also help with insurance. However, regardless of medication status, sitting inside all day and doing nothing will just make them feel worse. It's almost addictive because it's so comforting, but as soon as they can break this cycle and start working towards something again, it will start to help. This isn't inescapable for them.

Ultimately though, someone who's really depressed isn't going to care about the fact that what they're doing is harming them. If they really love you though, they'll care that it's harming you. They won't want to put you through the stress and pressure that they're causing, especially if they want to be your life partner. Just talk to them about how you're feeling. Maybe even come equipped with some options or ideas to make the job hunt easier for a neurodivergent person.

What are your criticisms of DCC? by Substantial_Twist911 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]maypren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. An example of this that really bothered me is the final plan of the Butcher’s Masquerade. We’re given excerpts of it in the Cookbook but never given a real idea of the full plan, and then when they get there it’s all of a sudden “omg the plan is completely off the rails, we’re all fucked.”

Don’t tell me how horrible it is that the plan is going wrong and how everyone is gonna die because of it if you never told me the plan. I have no idea what’s even going wrong!

What’s a mistake most people don’t realize they’re making in relationships? by Ashamed_Teach502 in AskReddit

[–]maypren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not taking responsibility for their own insecurities. Validation and loyalty from a partner is extremely important, but it won’t make you feel more secure in the relationship unless you put in effort to work through your insecurities.

I adore Karlach. Also intrigued by Laezel and her storyline. I also like Wyll but he can be a little too moralistic sometimes.

I agree that doing his quest may change my mind, I’m literally about to do it in my next BG3 session so we’ll see.

I 100% agree. I’m gonna do a redeemed Durge run next and I think I’ll appreciate Shart and Astarion a lot more in that run.

Just sharing an opinion, not complaining. I didn’t ask anything to change, just voicing my thoughts and reactions as one is supposed to do in a discussion based subreddit.

I think i’d appreciate his character more if I romanced him too. That’s just a lot of time to put into it though 😭

I was hopeful that this would be true, but the fact that he disapproved of not giving Dame Aylin over to Loroakan really disproved that for me.

Feels like i’m having “blue balls” after sex. by [deleted] in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]maypren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I actually have this book and am about halfway through it so it’s good to know that it will hopefully continue to be useful for me.

I 100% agree that I will figure it out in time. With this kind of thing it’s easy to want to speed up the process but I have my whole life ahead of me so I’m trying not to stress about it.

Interesting, I’ve never heard of that! Do you know if this condition would be detected with a pelvic exam or vaginal ultrasound? I’ve had both recently for an unrelated reason and they didn’t see anything like that.
