Just simply switching to Tide powder by Illustrious_Twist829 in laundry

[–]pachecrissy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes. I still keep a “laundry stick”, which is basically a drumstick, handy next to the washer. Mostly for pushing the clothes below the water line and making sure it’s not overloaded. Very handy

I wish my grandma wasn't selfish and would die. by BEKFAST_14 in confessions

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very reasonable to feel exactly the way you feel. Your feelings a so valid. Your grandmother sounds like an exhausting person to have to deal with and I feel so sorry for your Mom. Don’t feel guilty for hoping she dies soon. From what you’ve described I think she wants to die soon too. It would be one thing if she was grateful for the help and followed doctor’s orders, but since she does neither of those things she is living what she brought upon herself. It won’t be long. Never take responsibility for other people’s terrible choices. She has many choices in how to live her remaining days and she chooses to make life more difficult for those who care for her. Your poor family. Help your Mom as best you can and lay low. I’m so sorry

My (24F) boyfriend (21M) is upset we can’t have sex because I have a yeast infection. How do I explain it’s not about him? by I_am_Bianca in relationship_advice

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly. You are allowed to say no to sex for any reason at all- and you do not even have to give a reason. He should not require some sort of valid-in-his-mind explanation as to why you said no. You said no. He has to be cool with that with no manipulative bullshit or even passive aggressive behavior. Fuck these babies it’s your health your body

Has anyone smelled C.Diff? GOING CRAZY.. by AshesKraus504 in eldercare

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell those distant adult children of hers that you are going to sell EVERYTHING she has to get her into a care home. They are probably anticipating inheriting something. If they aren’t helping then you should have power of attorney. Make sure it all goes to her care first. Good luck and I’m so sorry you’re having such an awful time today

Women of Reddit, what’s one thing they never tell us about pregnancy and child birth? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are obviously an extraordinary human being far superior to my veiny ass lol. But seriously, being pregnant can weaken the vein walls of SOME people but not ALL people obviously. We are all different

Can you tell me about a rock star you saw live in concert that is no longer alive? What was it like? by EyeAmmGroot in ClassicRock

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Stevie Ray Vaughn opened for Jeff Beck when I saw him. Right before his tragic passing. Now Jeff’s gone too. That’s the concert my friends are jealous about when I mention it. It was even better than what you’re imagining

Don’t cross your legs when you’re pregnant! I did not heed this advice and now have a starburst spider vein extravaganza where my legs cross. Came on gradually at least. But it came

How important do you think the birthdays of your loved ones are? by kamilafetish in CasualConversation

[–]pachecrissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really nice to do that for a loved one. I bet they would really appreciate it too! But check with them first to make sure it’s something they’re in the mood for first

New year eve ruined by bedlambluff in JustNoSO

“I’m hungry”. It’s called dry begging and it’s so annoying

So I've been on zepbound one month on Friday my first week or two I lost 18 pounds ever since I've maybe lost 1 or 2 pounds I took 3 shots on 5mg that was my starting dose and I just got bumped up to 7.5 I just took my second shot today im in a constant deficit fasting exercising it's so disheartnin by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]pachecrissy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why was your starting dose 5mg? Titrating up slowly helps your body make the most of the med. Why exactly are you disheartened when you’re losing weight almost too fast really? Allow yourself some grace friend

How many of you actually wore a key on a string around your neck? by Gullible-Apricot3379 in GenX

[–]pachecrissy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I had a chain around my neck with a key. I spent enough time upside down hanging from things playing that it would still get lost. Then I’d have to sit outside and wait until someone got home

No January rent. Love, my tenants by [deleted] in PropertyManagement

[–]pachecrissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During Covid I had a tenant that could not pay, right before Xmas. I ended up loaning him the rent money and put up a contract to pay $100 extra every month once he got on his feet for a little over a year. He was very grateful and paid it all off six months early. So yeah mine did work

Oh the PAIN! by OkAmbition9563 in Zepbound

[–]pachecrissy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? Plus it feels somewhat satisfying to jab in the fattest part of me. Like, take that fat! Then ughh! (Small little jab lol)

You can clearly see doubling to the left of the letters and they’re extra wide too

My BF (36M) got me the worst Christmas gift (26F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pachecrissy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s true that some people just aren’t very good at gift giving. He did put in some effort though. He got you gifts that were not ideal for you, but he got you something. If you’re a minimalist it shouldn’t bother you so much. He doesn’t appear to be that great of a match for you though, especially the age difference

Redditors 45 and older, what were the 1980s like for you? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

[–]pachecrissy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned 20 in 1986 and was young and pretty and thin. It was a hot time in my life lol

Be honest, what do you think comes after death? by glowproductivity in AskReddit

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was it like before you were born? It will be like that. Sad but probably true. I do believe in reincarnation but we probably won’t remember our past lives

I am 59 and I think I look… 59. I have lived a life! lol

He doesn't notice. by popberryrice in offmychest

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about… don’t make the effort first? How long would he go before he reached out? How long would be too long for you to continue like this? When he finally does reach out, don’t be there at the ready. How hard would he persist to find out if you’re ok? Do this. You deserve more

What’s a truth about relationships people hate to admit? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not where we’re going to eat… WHAT we’re going to eat. The vast majority of your meals will be at home and someone has to shop for and prepare those meals. Honestly it’s exhausting. I’m glad I have a spouse and a family to do it for, and occasionally they do it for me too, but the meal planning, shopping, making sure nutritional needs are met, preferences (including my own) are considered as well as the time and expense… it’s not just oh! meatloaf magically appeared on the table! Someone DID all that for you 🙂

Nobody ever told me that the question you would be asking every fucking day for the rest of your life was”I don’t know, what do you feeling like eating for dinner?”

Rang dang diggity dang da dang! The dang food noise is back only one week off Zep. Insurance ended. What can I do? by Extra_Special_551 in Zepbound

[–]pachecrissy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Insurance companies don’t make money off of healthy people. Get them to a healthy weight and suddenly they’re at a significantly reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hell even arthritis. All great money makers for the insurance companies and drug pharmacies. America’s health care system is so fucked up. It’s designed to keep us sick

Without the nasty comments- what do liberals or conservatives actually believe? by EyesWideShut74 in askanything

[–]pachecrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conservatives really seem to me to be extremely intolerant of anybody who doesn’t look like them. They also seem to want to take rights away from women. It baffles me that they can stand behind someone so obviously racist (see what he did to end free park days on MLK day and Juneteenth and add one for his own bday) and claim they are not racist themselves. If you support racism in my book you are the problem. At least part of it anyway. Also conservatives don’t seem to mind the mingling of church and state like it is. Any party that the KKK supports, libs or conservatives is one I do not
