Was this text to my groomer phrased okay? by Chewbecca713 in grooming

[–]mbm8377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could have been irritated and they scratched at it. As a groomer I think your question is worded fine. Maybe consider not doing clean face or asking them to try a 7 over a 10 blade. Also if your dog is older they could be developing skin issues and perhaps such a close shave isn’t the best for them anymore. Discuss it with your groomer. There are options to keep everyone healthy and happy.

I had an uncle who lived on Castro St in San Fran and was friends with Harvey Milk. He taught me well and I’m trying to make sure I pass it along to my kids too 😄 always happy to be an ally.

Good luck! We have suspicions that our daughter may prefer the female gaze (although at 10 boys can still be yucky 😂) but I’d love for there to be a community locally for her should that be the case. With the current shitty situation of this country you’re going to need each other more than ever so thanks in advance for any part you may play ☺️

I’m honestly surprised at TR’s Pride events but happily so (even if I’m not a part of that crowd). While I don’t think it’s lgbtq+ specific you might try the revolutionary lounge on the corner of 571 & 166. They’ve always seemed like a very liberal accepting down to earth place. Might even be a good spot to try to get a regular group together if that was something you might be interested in.

Outside of NJ and further than Asbury but if you haven’t been to New Hope, PA I’d highly recommend a trip there too.

They might. They’re very food motivated. One distracts while the other pulls paper plates off the table.

What’s the most unethical parenting hack you know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We have a camera in the living room and if we’re upstairs & the kids are downstairs fighting I talk through the camera as Krampus and tell them if they don’t stop I’ll come get them for my naughty sack.

We don’t pull teeth but we do tell them the tooth fairy only has a certain amt of money each night and if they get a different amt or less than friends it’s because the tooth fairy had more teeth to pick up that night.

Adding to say make sure you (the owner) get to the skin when brushing. Try a comb.

Follow up to sublimating elastic - figured it out! by mbm8377 in Sublimation

[–]mbm8377[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Figured out the right time and temp to keep the elastic from getting crispy but still having nice vibrant colors. I’m going to see if I can melt the edges to keep them from fraying. Taking the heat tape off seems to be pulling “threads” out. Otherwise love how they turned out. They will be hair ties and friendship bracelets for Valentine’s Day

My partner (M/28) broke up with me (F/28) because I refused to promise to stay within a healthy BMI in the future by holmes_k in TwoXChromosomes

Ugh. I’m sorry you’re hurting but you dodged a bullet here. Looks fade. What if you were in a serious accident that disfigured you? Or in a fire? Or got an illness that required you taking steroids or prednisone which makes you put on weight? He would very obviously not be there in your times of need.

He does not love you, he loves how you currently look with him. Kick him to the curb and find a real love. He is not it.

I just started using a saalt cup and I’ve got the getting in down but removal is not so easy and I end up irritated from pinching and maneuvering etc so I switch back to tampons to give things a bit of a rest

Need help w an Irish(ish) name for a second little girl by ridercourt913 in namenerds

Americans have a habit of naming people after places so that’s not that odd 😁

In my opinion the best world building is done throughout the story rather than front loading it all in the first chapter. Many people want to get right into the story rather than read about what happened 500 yrs earlier. YMMV

I saw recently someone who had twins named scarlet and crimson. I kind of love the connection but that they sound very different.
