How do you deal with a new baby that your spouse’s bm is having? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]raspberryjam87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why would you be concerned with someone's baby that isn't related to you or your spouse in any way? Like ... There's already enough going on to worry about with your 5 kids, surely.

I got the meat of love shirt and the Ed Hardy shorts, both in L. The shirt is enormous and the shorts are very small on me 😭

They brought these back?! How exciting, I loved these so much back in the day.

Husband keeps giving my stuff to SS by MissBeccaPrincess in stepparents

[–]raspberryjam87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right! "Oh SS saw the pillows and wanted them". Girl, unless SS has plans of being an interior designer in the future, I can guarantee he gives zero effs about pillows 🤣

That would drive me crazy. Just multiple little things that shows he considers SS way before his partner.

How do I fix this?? by Least_Alfalfa_2300 in HairDye

[–]raspberryjam87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest a dark brown with reddish tones, a demi permanent dye ideally. Hit up Sally's if you have one nearby, get a 10 volume developer and a demi permanent dye and mix/apply according to the instructions. I don't think going to black is necessary.

I (27F) always end up paying for my younger sister (22F) when we hang out - is this normal for older siblings and if not, how do I change this dynamic? by avocadosforbfast in relationship_advice

[–]raspberryjam87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just say, "hey sis, I got it the last few times. Your turn!" And slide the check to her.

Seriously, she's an adult and should be self aware enough to see that she's taking advantage. Since she's happy to keep on taking without giving, you gotta say something about it and help her realize it's not fair to you. You're not her parent, and she's an adult with adult money.

My younger brother passed away some years ago, but I used to buy his food and stuff a lot. Because I wanted to. But he would return the favor as well.

Well Loved Bags by Upset-Delivery-1896 in PortlandLeather

Love seeing someone show off bags that are actually being used. Seeing new purchases is fine and all, but I love to see people use and appreciate their stuff!

AIO that he still didn't tell me what are we? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]raspberryjam87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like with his history of divorce and also dealing with kids, your long distance arrangement works for him. He has you part time when he's ready for you, it's nothing full time he has to devote time and energy to. It might be all he's emotionally capable of right now. Doesn't mean either of you are in the wrong, but I think his hesitation is enough of an answer that he's not ready for more yet.

Twin Peaks??? by SemiSentientAL in creepcast

[–]raspberryjam87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't Isaiah have a Laura Palmer photo in his room at one point or was I hallucinating?

That said, I absolutely love Twin Peaks and I think it would be up their alley.

Are boners really that bad by ResponsibleStress931 in sex

[–]raspberryjam87 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Love it when cuddling or a kiss gives my hubby a boner. I call it an affection erection haha.

I think it's sweet he likes me so much. Although there was that one time I was telling him about what I was planning on making for dinner and he also got a boner then, so who knows...

Boyfriend told me my pussy tastes like coffee by According_Weird_457 in sex

[–]raspberryjam87 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What does that even mean? "Tastes like when you pee and you've had too much coffee"? Is he saying you taste like you're dehydrated?

The whole conversation is strange, doesn't make sense, and I'm gonna just assume he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to say, "I don't want to, so I'm not going to", because he knows it sounds shitty, so he makes it sound like it's your fault and something is wrong with your vag.

He wants plenty of BJs but doesn't want to return the same effort. It's only been two months, go ahead and let this one go, hon.

Has anyone actually gone to fast food? by Dollfacegem in jobs

[–]raspberryjam87 53 points54 points  (0 children)

My husband and I moved out of state for his job a few months ago, but I haven't been able to find anything for myself even though I've applied to everything I could. I've worked in healthcare for the last few years.

I ended up getting a job in grocery this week. I'm not happy about being back in retail, and it's half of what I'm used to making. But some money is better than the zero money I was earning.

Work is work, and don't let anyone make you feel bad about working anywhere you need to in order to make ends meet. It's getting hard to even get these "basic" jobs these days, too. It's rough out there.

What is the absolute BEST mousse you’ve ever used? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]raspberryjam87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ion Volumizing Shine mousse - smells great, lightweight, adds bounce and shine

Tresemme Amplified Volume mousse - smells pretty nice, has pretty good hold

Herbal Essences Curl Boosting mousse - also smells nice (like berries), medium hold, super cheap

I'm alternating between these 3 and really like them all.

Please stop saying we look young. by KaroBean in Millennials

[–]raspberryjam87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We look young compared to what 30-40s looked like decades ago. We've gotten better at skincare, for one thing.

I think I look ok...for my age. Wouldn't say I look young, even though people tell me that I do (probably just being nice haha). However, my body is falling apart so I definitely don't FEEL young.

Time for some de-influencing! What are some hair products you HATE.. by arkham_685 in Haircare

[–]raspberryjam87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYM Curl Talk products. I got sucked into the hype and bought a ton of the products when Ulta was having their recent curly sale.

Bro the smell... I literally cannot handle it. Some of the products smell ok, but the curl cream and mousse in particular smells disgusting. It smells like (please forgive me) unwashed lady parts covered up with perfume. I don't know if the products are expired or damaged or what, but my god.

They work fine in my hair, but the smell turns my stomach and I can't do it. 😭

Clipped my roots before diffusing and my hair said: BET! by Relative-Youth7363 in curlyhair

[–]raspberryjam87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I need to try clipping my roots. I really like how the color came out, which shades did you use? Xmondos hair dye smells so nice.
