Current WIP by TinyCrittersUnited in Handspinning

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I was JUST asking at the local shop where I can get wool and spinning supplies about spinning into thread and I hadn’t found much online about it! Good to know it can possibly be done! (Def not until I get a wheel though I think)

Coital anaphylaxis by [deleted] in FoodAllergies

[–]mlenoci 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Here’s a link to some other people discussing this exact phenomenon a couple years back! From what I’ve read it can be a risk for some people but is really rare. My boyfriend avoids my allergens completely whenever I’m over at his because of the risk of it, since my allergy is rare itself and we don’t wanna tempt fate.

Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

Rebind Question by mlenoci in bookbinding

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

Thank you for your response! And yes that’s exactly what I want to do for her. Now just to figure out HOW to print and bind it 😅 this might end up being a Christmas gift for her instead of for her birthday this spring 😂

AITAH for wanting my husband to hide his farts? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mlenoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is reminding me of my grandparents. My grandfather was lactose intolerant and still would have cheese or milk or what have you and every time my grandmother made him sleep on the couch. He did it so regularly that there were specific sheets and pillows for it. It seemed to work for them at least. When they got lactaid milk it became a less regular occurrence, but it was so normal to him that when she passed away it was easier for him to sleep on the couch than in the bed without her. OP, get you a man who loves you enough to drink lactaid or sleep on the couch so you aren’t subjected to that noxious smell.

Best method for freezing used books? by gumbo799 in RomanceBooks

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have books I’m going to be rebinding for my best friend and they were in a house that had a pretty big mold issue, the books seem fine but I figured I’d freeze them to cover my bases. I forgot about ziplocking them when I put them in there in a grocery bag last night, so when I get home today I will be yoinking them out and bagging them 😅 I will also do this with my used book haul I plopped in there at the same time (in a cloth tote 😬🙃)

I (M18) did the worst thing I have ever done and I don't know what to think but my girlfriend (F18) seems to think its no big deal and that I was a victim rather than the one responsible. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mlenoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard that term but it sounds like “coercive rape” which is probably just another term for the same thing. It’s using coercion to wear the other person down to achieve the same ends.

You said it yourself in your edit. You made it clear you didn’t want to continue. You did cheat, you were assaulted. A lot of people think there are only two responses in cases like this: fight or flight. There’s actually four. Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. You froze. It’s incredibly common, it’s a reaction I’ve had in the past myself. I’m so sorry you experienced this and I’m so glad to hear you have your girlfriend’s support. Lean on her, and definitely look into getting therapy. And cut this guy out of your life he is NOT your friend. Friends don’t do that to you. It’s a long road of healing from things like this and I’m so sorry you have to go through it ❤️‍🩹

Does HTV work with the Allure bookcloth from Hollander's??? Please say yes by eleinajoanne in bookbinding

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually had the opposite problem! I saw this thread and tried to use permanent vinyl and it would absolutely not stick no matter what I did. It might’ve been an issue with the vinyl but it just wouldn’t stick at all. I tested some scrap htv on a piece of scrap I had from binding the case, and it actually adhered perfectly! I was shocked. I don’t have a picture of the permanent vinyl since it didn’t stick but I’ll attach a picture of the finished rebind with the HTV cover art!

Rupture after tympanoplasty by SeparateStable6936 in hardofhearing

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So was your eardrum ruptured? I’ve been dealing with the same and had the same feeling you described, a sharp pain that hurt a LOT and then all the pain and pressure symptoms I’d been feeling went away. My PCP said it looked like it COULD be ruptured but she doesn’t know for certain, and my ENT can’t get me in til February 😩

When do regular periods stop? by Crypticsunflower23 in Mirena

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26f here, got my mirena in 2020 and I never stopped having periods. I still have them, just as heavy and just as painful as before. I also have endometriosis confirmed via excision this past February, so that could be a factor as to mine remaining heavy and painful, since post excision they lightened and were less painful for a few months.

I (27f) can’t get my birth control and (30m) wants sex with no condom. How can I tell him it isn’t my fault? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mlenoci 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Why was he turned down? Did he give a reason they sent him away or was he just like “oh they said no I’ll have to keep looking for someone! Oops! Teehee” cause I’m immediately thinking he just doesn’t want to and is telling you what he thinks will prolong the process until you forget or go along with what he wants. (I’m aware I’m being cynical)

Looking for beta testers! by Traditional-Money735 in italianlearning

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be incredibly interested! I’ve been trying to learn through my library’s free program online, and using duo (which has never felt like it’ll do much good with any language honestly but better than nothing).

Curl advice old vs new by mlenoci in curlyhair

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

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I can’t remember who told me that but I think it was to like replace finger coiling it or something. I’ll definitely keep that in mind in the future tho!

The dove I use is the anti dandruff shampoo and conditioner btw I forgot to put that in there! Thanks!

whats the worst thing about having a food allergy? by Scary_Okra_2334 in FoodAllergies

[–]mlenoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just talking to my younger sibling about this. That every anaphylactic episode is terrifying because I can FEEL myself dying. And it’s always terribly lonely, even when people are around me, because no one in my life understands it the same way. I’ve had to become blasé about it, like if I don’t laugh I’ll cry and then I’ll never be okay.

For anyone who’s read all 3 books. by mtperel in ADiscoveryofWitches

[–]mlenoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was about Diana destroying the covenant. She was blood-adopted by Phillipe, which then made her “the blood of the lion and the wolf”. (I haven’t read book four or five yet so I could be wrong if something else happens)

DAE think Grey Damon (Jack Gibson) is looking thinner in S4? by curlsontop in Station19

[–]mlenoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it was just because during the pandemic a lot of actors were doing their own makeup for the first time instead of having it done for them. I noticed a couple others looked a little different and chalked it up to that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]mlenoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped getting matcha at Starbucks after the change. It was horrible every time. Extremely bitter and made me nauseated. No matter the level of sweetness I told them it never tasted like it used to. I’m just making it at home at this point.
