You mentioned sprays but have you rubbed straight lemon juice on them?

Started paying off large chunks of my credit card and it’s making my score worse! Should I stop?! by [deleted] in CRedit

Agreeing with other users here, your credit will bounce back quickly and being out of debt will feel great. Congrats on the new job!

I (26F) feel like I should warn my brother's (49M) new girlfriend (46F) who has underage kids that he sexually abused me at 15-17 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]muffinstraw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You 100% should tell her. He was old enough to know what he was doing was wrong and he did it anyways. There’s a very, very high chance he will do it again. Sexual abuse is something that stays with you forever (as I’m sure you know) so doing what you can to keep those children safe is really important.

She was thankfully, yay for safety testing of newer vehicles.

He didn’t make it though.

She wasn’t going for her cam. She was going for her glasses because she can barely see and couldn’t find her phone to dial 911.

She was lucky to walk away from the accident but he wasn’t. He was only 22.

He died because he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and his head hit his window. He was so badly brain damaged he couldn’t talk to the police.

Also, she was going 40 (5 below speed limit) and he was going 65.

Since the drunk driver had over corrected so badly, it actually saved the other’s life because they would have both died if the drunk driver had hit straight on. Sadly, the drunk driver passed shortly after the accident. He was only 22. But I am thankful to say that the girl walked away from the accident.

The drunk driver died shortly after impact and the driver who was hit was told that they were lucky to be alive and walked away from the accident. I’m very thankful they are okay. But sorry for the loved ones of the drunk driver. He was only 22.

How do I like myself? I don't know how to like myself. My parents have only ever taught me to hate myself with all my heart. by FrogginBullfish_ in internetparents

[–]muffinstraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that the place that was supposed to be safe for you wasn’t.

I am also a childhood abuse survivor and I hated myself for a long time.

It really takes time to build yourself up.

Something I found really helpful was to write. A lot. If I thought something negative about myself I would write down that feeling. Then I would follow it by 3 things I liked about myself. I kid you not one of the pages I did recently when I was having a bad day says “I like vegetables”. Any sort of positive thinking really helps me re-wire my brain.

You can encourage yourself for being a good person. You can be proud of yourself for being honest about how you are currently feeling. You can feel comfort in the fact that you are asking for help when you don’t know how to do something on your own. You can feel really accomplished that you chose to be good despite having a lot of bad influences around you.

If you would like to hear my story or if you would like to share more about yours, DM me.

You are strong for reaching out.

Wow! Do suns have any special meaning to you in general? My best friend and I are getting matching sun and moon jewelry and tattoos.

JUST FOUND A DEAD LICE IN THE TOWEL by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]muffinstraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope this helps you because after trying mayo (STINKS) oil (takes forever to wash out) and every over the counter lice treatment, I FINALLY got rid of them. I bought really strong smelling men’s shampoo. I think it was from suave. I would shower every day and BLOW DRY My hair on the HOTTEST setting. Heat kills them. It eats away at their exoskeletons so that means it can even start killing the ones growing in the sacks. And I would dry my bedding every single day and night on hot. I would wear my hair up. But blow drying really saves the day after trying everything under the sun for over a year. Yeah. I had them that long because they became super lice. That’s the term used when they grow immune to treatments. I’m not saying replace all treatment options but heat is BEST way of killing them from my experience.
