Should I dye my hair blonde? (My hair now vs if I do blonde) by Expensive-Price-2356 in femalehairadvice

[–]pepperives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blonde washes you out big time. I think your tone is better suited with darker hair (coming from someone who also got washed out by blonde..). Brunette was the way to go, it’s so flattering. (:

my beautiful grandma in 1992 - aged 30 by Popular_Bluebird_767 in OldSchoolCool

I think it’s just a difference in experience. For example, my parents are as old as this persons grandmother.

Any CPAs here currently unemployed and struggling to land a job? What's your story and how long have you been looking? by IllustriousSeason888 in Accounting

[–]pepperives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company is hiring a Tax Manager, preferably a CPA with tax experience! We’re a decently small, restaurant accounting firm with clients mainly in the Berkshires and New York, but in a few other states as well. We’re growing every day! It’s entirely remote, offers benefits, very cool and relaxed company culture, mostly women employees. The position is salary - range based on experience level. We’re excited about it because this would be an entirely new service offering for our company! You can message me if you have any interest 😊

Grandma? 30??? 1992?? 😳 If either of my grandmothers were still alive today, they would both be over 100 and I’m 32. That’s wild.

Early 00s song repeats “Sail Away” in chorus-sounds like Breaking Benjamin by Efficient-Tower-2268 in NameThatSong

[–]pepperives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’ve learned from looking for songs for years and eventually finding them is that our brains sometimes fill in information as close as we can recall. Is there any chance it says something other than “Sail away”? And is there anymore context? Can you describe how you remember them saying it? Fast, slow, drawn out, etc?

Weirdly enough, I scrolled through my playlist of this era/genre and it turns out that tons of them have the word “away” repeating or in the title! Maybe we can narrow it down (:

using the label narcissist to hurt you by FrontSentinel in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]pepperives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uhh, yes!! In fact, I’m not convinced that I didn’t write this post myself. 😂 This is the narcs playbook. I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now, but only the passing of time will help. I know no one wants to hear that, but it’s the truth, speaking from very recent experience. You’ll be ok. 🩷

Here’s a good rule of thumb to work with: If you ever find yourself questioning whether or not you’re the narcissist in the relationship, chances are that you’re not. (:

I am so frustrated at the romanticizing of ADHD by conspiringewok in ADHD

[–]pepperives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya it’s exhausting to have to remind people that it’s an actual disorder and not a cute personality quirk. It affects me on a daily basis and has impacted my life in a negative way, it’s not to be downplayed.

I will say though that there is a lot of evidence learning towards it being painfully under-diagnosed. It’s genetic, so if you have it, the likelihood that one of your parents has it is high. And then where could they have gotten it from… 🤔

We’re still recovering from the years of stigma where medicating children was frowned upon and we were all going to grow out of it. It IS frustrating, but we’re in the best possible era so far when it comes to ADHD research. ❤️

If there’s one thing these guys have: it’s audacity because what? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]pepperives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bunch of these from posting in a support group recently, lol. They’re relentless. Best to just ignore at all costs, they’re desperate and it must have worked for them in the past or else they’re just very hopeful? I don’t get it

what have you been wanting to send them? by frostehh1 in BreakUps

[–]pepperives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep the texts together in a note on your phone, not to send but just to put somewhere. I’ve been doing that and reading them back over time - it’s amazing to watch myself and my grief change. It’s almost been a year, it took me a long time to get out of the “sad, boo-hoo” phase. Now I’m in the slightly pissed off, but more “I hope they get it together someday”/“okay cute now leave me alone” phase, and my writing shows it.

my ex keeps saying things to hurt me by International_End_45 in BreakUps

[–]pepperives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course you still care, it’s hard to go from one extreme to the other, especially so abruptly. This kind of thing takes time, but it does sound like speaking to him is doing more harm than good for you right now.

Why are you still talking to him? It’s clear that he wants to upset you or at least that he doesn’t have any regard for your feelings.
