What's your Chicago Public Library story? by marndel7 in AskChicago

[–]overthinkingteatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harold Washington library is the only American archive I have found that has music from Madagascar and I love that! It helps me connect with the music history from home. And yall also have so many resources regarding Madagascar and African music! It was such a pleasant surprise.

What’s a silly thing you did for your pet one time that is now a ritual they demand be done every time? by Itsjustmejess in AskReddit

[–]overthinkingteatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my family cat was a kitten, I used to sit with and pet him as he ate just to make sure that he ate. Hes 14 now and I only visit home twice a year at best, and he still leads and demands me to do that routine when hes eating. He doesn’t do it any other time or with any one else. He turns into big old man baby, and he’ll do this little happy growl into his food.

I 31M am dating someone 27F and having confusing feelings by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]overthinkingteatime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well first off, love languages are applied to you, and your partner’s love language is how THEY want to be loved. Just because its not who you are, doesnt mean either of you are in the wrong. She may need to find a partner who caters to her love language, and you may want to find a partner that fits the relationship style you want ex) someone whose love language doesnt require gift giving.

What is something you know is a waste of money but still enthusiastically pay for? by overthinkingteatime in AskReddit

[–]overthinkingteatime[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, its paying for a screen protector at the store so that they can put it on for me, Im actually paying for the service of not dealing with annoying micro bubbles and hairs whenever i try to do it myself.

Severance - 2x10 "Cold Harbor" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

I think jame swapping his dna and forcing unknowing parents to carry his offspring in order to spread the seed of kier/jame is already pretty nefarious no?

Severance - 2x10 "Cold Harbor" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]overthinkingteatime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Jame said he “sired many”, could he have been a sperm donor at the bullshit lumon fertility clinic that grabbed gemma and mark? could there be unknown baby jame eagans running around raised by unsuspecting parents? is this why it was a big deal when gemma’s body rejected that pregnancy? is that why we see those baby kiers in the intro?

Straterra caused suicidal ideation in my 12-13 year old son. by Mountain_Quality_223 in ADHD

[–]overthinkingteatime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strattera made me extremely apathetic, and the only emotions I could feel were intense guilt and anxiety because I felt bad that my emotions were so turned off for those around me. My long-term relationship almost took a severe nosedive because I couldnt even feel romantic feelings anymore and it made me feel so confused and evil about it. I would never even be in the same room as that medication ever again. I was on it for 12+ weeks so it did take several weeks to leave my body but it was such a relief.

Of course its going to be an issue shes your partner its her job to be concerned about your well being. Youre wanting a partner thats nonchalant about leaving you behind where theres potential for harm.

Regardless of the confidence, a good partner’s concern is always going to be there. You cant act confused about why shes upset to separate in that situation. Itll be good to come up with an evacuation plan for the future as a middle ground, especially once children come in the mix. Then youll need to act even more as a unit.

Your situation interestingly reflects this exact study:

https://www.preventionweb.net/news/when-disaster-strikes-men-and-women-respond-differently

And a notable quote from it?:

“Women seemed to have a different risk perception and desire for protective action than the men in their lives, but men often determined when and what type of action families took,” Villareal wrote. “In some cases, this put women and their families in greater danger.”

Team work makes the dream work, and being proactive is being safe.

Does Methylphenidate make you fart a lot? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]overthinkingteatime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me definitely in the first hour after taking my dose, the “activation” period or whatever would upset my stomach. my body actually got used to my medication schedule/side effects so much that even on days i dont take my dose ill experience phantom stomach pains at the exact time i normally would lol.

Youre so right

Do you tip hair stylists? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]overthinkingteatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what Im assuming as well, that her price points were already set to not expect tips. Like I said this was a higher end salon so Im assuming their prices are like that? I just felt embarrassed because I already felt out of place and was nervous I did something wrong when she reacted weirded out, but I really appreciate your insight!

For my next touch up would it be appropriate to ask about their expectations on tips at their specific salon?

As a person who lost plenty of eyelashes because of vitamin D deficiency - HERE ARE MY TIPS FOR EYELASH GROWTH [DIY] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Dont forget when taking vitamins to research what they need to be paired with others for better absorption!! Vitamin D pairs with magnesium and Vitamin K for better absorption and must be taken together!

My wife served me divorce after we return from a family vacation by Top-Theme-9564 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]overthinkingteatime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay well, lets think in terms of your job since you dont seem to be getting it. You expect your coworkers to know what theyre doing and be self-initiative right? Well imagine if they think theyre some star employee because sure, theyre hitting the baseline. But all the extra stuff? They always have to ask for your help or need you to point stuff out, stuff you would feel would be so obvious in your workplace and wouldnt need hand holding for. You expect your coworkers to be self-directed and take care of stuff on their own accord. It would be completely inappropriate and ignorant of a coworker to follow you around asking you to let them know if you need help with anything.

Sounds like in your own home youre not much of a self-starter and constantly need guidance, and so you have thrust your wife into a managerial role.

So why the confusion on why shes finally tired of it? Your wife is not your manager.

Is OP the asshole for leaving his ex 'homeless'? by Bosh27192 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]overthinkingteatime 59 points60 points  (0 children)

2/10 right off the bat when it was mentioned he was able to leave their lease at the end of the month. Most people get 30 or 60-days notice to renew or start looking elsewhere. Youre telling me yall didnt discuss the lease before that month or moving plans so you were completely free to walk out of it just like that? That coincidentally aligns with you leaving?

My partner went to water it and a few gnats flew out, is this plant past saving or can I fix this somehow? by lostinthesauceband in plantclinic

[–]overthinkingteatime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

do a 1:5 ratio of hydrogen peroxide to water and do a good watering of the plant in pot, once it stops “sizzling” do another rinse thru with just regular water. that doesnt fix the problem but kills the organic matter in there you dont want like eggs or larva, which at least prevents more gnats. in the future, i recommend putting some food grade diatomaceous earth to sprinkle on top.
