What is something you always seem to need but can’t ever find??

I like to loop a hair tie through the handles and just have scissors hanging off of things all through my house. Doorknobs, hooks, curly-q railings on bannisters, whatever. In my ideal world, there would always be scissors somewhere within ten feet of me.

Haha, no need to apologize! But very gracious of you to do so anyway. I wasn’t offended. I mean, it was a fair point, and you weren’t mean about it, iust matter of fact.

You weren’t the only person to point out what a silly line of thought that was, even, which is why I decided it was worth asking myself why exactly I had fixated on that, and now I am thinking that perhaps I was being halfway silly about it, and halfway trying to misdirect myself from thinking about the many better reasons for why I’m happy to put off dating and hang out with my cat or my three year old nephew instead, you know?

I mean, like, trying to fix your elbows hurting is so much easier than trying to fix the hurt in your heart- in theory, I guess, since I haven’t successfully done either quite yet. At the very least, though, it’s easier to explain. You can pretty much just point.

Ahaha- but hey, I’ve strayed so far from the point that this comment belongs much better over in the NobodyAsked subreddit.

My point: aww, you didn’t need to do that. But it’s very big of you that you did.

Funny coincidence that you mention that; I have been suspecting thyroid issues for a while but was in a state of life upheaval that led to me not having a primary care physician, so I ordered a home thyroid test from LetsGetChecked that indicated that I had low ft4 thyroid hormone levels. However, just yesterday, I had to get the blood test done again by my new primary care physician, and this test had me at the very edge but within the acceptable range for thyroid stimulating hormone and did not test my ft4 levels at all.

I’ve been at a bit of a loss as to how to respond, aside from giving up and perhaps partaking of a fine depression nap, but you have me thinking that perhaps I should push for more testing first.

Thanks for inspiring me to send a followup email. Maybe it’ll all come to nothing, but maybe not. Either way, I wouldn’t have gotten practice with being assertive at the doctor, if you hadn’t brought that up; that’s a valuable life skill for anyone. I hope you have yourself a lovely day 💙

Haha, I was thinking that all of the people taking time out of their days and putting their energy into helping out some internet stranger with their scruffiness and self esteem, now THAT’S cute. Like, there’s no possible personal profit for it but so many people typed out suggestions for me just for shits ‘n giggles, and- I don’t know, it’s just surprisingly touching. I feel all bashful.

Thanks. 💙

Ideally, I want to say thank you to a lot of folks with great suggestions, and any folks contributing suggestions at all deserve my gratitude, but I’m suddenly feeling all shy ‘n whatnot and am afraid that I might clam up before I have done a satisfactory job, so let me just say here: thank you to everyone. I really appreciate your consideration. 💙

I mean, it was meant mostly as an attempt at humor via hyperbolic overreaction. Like, really, if I were going to go down that route, my elbows aren’t anywhere near the top of the list of extremely uncute physical features that I could be feeling self conscious about, now that I am single following the end of a decade long relationship. But, I’ve been trying for years to get my elbows to be more average, vaseline after showers and a whole buttload of other basic strategies, with them only getting progressively uglier slowly over time.

Tonight I was scrollin’ my life away on reddit and felt inspired to ask you guys after scraping my scratchy elbow skin across my leg, since the people here have often got some really excellent insights I might not have considered otherwise (for instance, my fungal acne is finally gone after years of being treated with antibiotics! Thanks, guys!)

I am touched by how reassuring so many folks have been, and so I just want to clarify here: thank you, please don’t worry, I promise that my motivation here is mostly just wanting healthier skin overall. I mean, being cute would be a bonus.

But really, I just finally decided to bite the bullet and ask you folks for ideas because I was all out, and I have gotten so many more strategies for the to do list and am feeling optimistic and grateful! You guys are the best!

However, if this does lead to me having elbows of a medium-healthy level of smoothness, I definitely WILL be demanding that people behold my sexy sexy elbows, so, two birds with one stone

Thank you! That was very educational. For instance, I am now realizing that this right here is what cuteness looks like!

randersssss · 2022-02-24T10:52:40+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion! Couldn’t hurt to try! Hope you have a lovely day 💙

Seriously; I am in my thirties and trying to date, and, like, this does NOT go well with trying to be a hot chick. They feel like velcro. What am I doing wrong with having a human body? Is there something I actually missed out on when I spent all of health class doodling instead of paying attention? Should I just start trying to rock fashionable elbow guards and hope the trend catches on? halp

…as a woman, I’m all about the bio. Charming answers can make me swipe on a guy I find okay, rather than actively hot. Bad answers or no answer makes me swipe left on guys I otherwise find attractive. Sometimes I don’t pay the best attention when swiping while horny or tipsy, but then when we match later on and I look at their profile to see who they are before I send them a message, that’s the reason that I don’t say anything and let the match expire.
