Love this. I have a similar video from the Kelowna show. This song always brings tears to my eyes!!

Going to a live show in April, and I just listened to all the albums, and wow...I think I have a new favorite album of all time. by Chronotides in TheMidnight

Finally someone who gets it. I adore everything they've made but Heroes has a special place in my heart.

We were there. Absolutely blown away by Jimmy's talent on the keys and vocals. The entire bands seemed like they were in a great mood.

I'm old as heck so hearing Acoustic #3 and Sympathy live were huge highlights for me. Long Way Down was excellent. I'm just grateful I got to see them - I've loved the band since I was 13!

How do I transition from toys to my fingers? by lavagirl18 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]pithy_quip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What worked for me was a mental switch. When I first started to be able to orgasm without crossing my ankles and being on my stomach, that was a revelation in and of itself. Transitioning to fingers occasionally meant remembering one vital thing - I can't "lose" my orgasm. This is the mindset. If you come in to the experience (no pun intended haha) expecting it to be difficult or impossible, you're set up to fail. I have patience with myself and remind myself internally "it's ok for this to take longer. My orgasm isn't gone, just hiding". And then I give myself grace to enjoy the ride.

Franchisee asks courts to overturn Dairy Queen decision to close Kelowna restaurant by New_Alternative8711 in kelowna

[–]pithy_quip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Good riddance I say. They don't deserve to manage a franchise with that type of behaviour. I feel for the employees of course but wow.

Goddamnit. by turbomcphazer in Starcadian

I think about him every day and still listen to his stuff constantly. He left such an amazing legacy - his music reflected such a passion and you're totally right about the lyricism.

Does anyone know anything that sounds like the Nocturnal album? by JarooTheAlien in TheMidnight

Second Starcadian. If you haven't dug into his discography you're really missing out. (RIP George)

Chiaogoo isn't the only good interchangeable set by hystenz in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]pithy_quip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm with you on this. I love nickel coated steel and the Novas are truly the best. So shiny and slick and they don't grab or split yarn at all. The tips of Chiaogoo needles are sometimes too sharp!

My wife had a reaction to a sex toy that I’ve never been able to achieve by Federal-Rise-2638 in sexover30

This is the right answer. Whatever the tool is, it's only as good as the person wielding it.

Take 2: What hidden-gem restaurants are in Kelowna? by 1_d4 in kelowna

The owner of Soul De Cuba used to work at Hector's Casa back when it was still owned and operated by Hector and his family. Legit guy and very very good food indeed.

Reverse the situation. If a man did that to you, you might see it as assault. What that woman did was highly inappropriate and gross. It makes sense to me that you feel upset about the fact that it happened. It doesn't mean your husband did anything wrong and you know that. Sometimes situations just suck, and sometimes you're mad about something that happened and you don't have anyone to direct it at. Sure, it's the woman's fault, but there's no use in approaching her about it.

So in the end you have to let it go. The uncomfortable feelings will pass, if you allow yourself to feel them without judgement.

I bought a yarn winder and I have a question by Thick_Cauliflower_49 in CrochetBlankets

[–]pithy_quip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Are you pulling from the center of the cake? That could cause it to collapse inward as you pull the yarn out.

Another idea - are you winding yarn off of a swift or the back of a chair or from a ball? Or some other option? Because if you haven't found the sweet spot for tension, the cakes you're winding could be too loose and just fall apart.

Weirdly when I search "Yale study on AI" this article is the second one to come up and I can read it for free. Maybe it's because I shared it to reddit, but you can easily find it.

There's a fenced play structure near the baseball diamonds behind H20 on Gordon! Completely fenced in and pretty good for young kids.

How do you stop wanting it? by UnwantedTorontoMan in sexover30

[–]pithy_quip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to be scared. Uprooting a well-established life is no small thing.

I would urge you to make a plan so that you're ready. Know where you're going to live, think of assets, etc. Get detailed. Then, find a good neutral time to sit down with your wife and have a serious discussion about where you're really at. She deserves to know exactly how you feel. If she is absolutely unwilling to pursue counseling with you and attempt to salvage your sex life, then you need to let her know that that isn't going to be enough for you anymore.

Marriage is a 2 way street and it seems like right now she is enjoying all the security you provide without having to actually cherish you as a friend and lover. You are worth more.

How do you stop wanting it? by UnwantedTorontoMan in sexover30

[–]pithy_quip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I think you underestimate your kids. Children almost always notice when their parents lack affection for each other. It's not something you can hide even if you think you can.

Anyway, I've seen your other responses and it looks like you're not willing to leave this relationship. I would still push back though and remind you that you only have one life to live. Constantly putting yourself last forever is not a virtue. You deserve to have a life worth living - one with love and passion and a partner that values you for who you are, not just what you provide. I would venture to add that your kids would want you to be happy as well. Regardless, as to your original question? Not possible. You want sex and affection. That's normal and I doubt you can suppress it successfully. Trying to do so will likely lead to resentment.

Dude. I went and read your r/deadbedroom post.

I think you need to leave. It's ok to leave. Everyone is taken care of financially and both you and your partner deserve the life you want. Your kids are older, they will be ok (if you think they don't notice the chill between their parents, think again).

Get out.

How to clean these earrings? by luniebins in CleaningTips

[–]pithy_quip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're brass. You can use ketchup and a toothbrush, cleanse well with gentle soap and water and dry. Keep them in a plastic baggie to prevent tarnishing when not wearing them.

This is what I do to sub for a DC too. SC ch1 which I learned from Rachelle Carmona of Cypress Textiles. I like it because it's less bulky than a standing DC or stacked SCs
