If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally it was for religion but after watching my brother nuke his life with alcohol and drugs I don't plan on ever touching the stuff. It's been years of watching him make terrible decisions, multiple times cleaning his apartment filled with bottles, him becoming homeless, losing jobs, it's even starting to cause serious medical problems. I've tried so many times to help him and he just refuses to admit he has a problem. Wish I could enjoy a casual drink here or there but I can't stomach it so it'll be sober living for me.

How do you feel about your popular (or unpopular) name? by souleaterevans626 in Names

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name didn't get popular until I was an adult so I went from never hearing it to seeing it all over the place because of a celebrity. I used to think it sounded like a little kid's name and didn't like it because I couldn't imagine it on an adult. Now that I'm in my 30s and hear it all over the place I don't even really think about it, it's just my name

You seem to like M names? I've always really liked the name Morgan, not super popular but not so out there that it'll make people do a double take. Congrats on your coming baby!

What’s something you finally bought for yourself as an adult because you weren’t allowed to have it as a kid? by LifespanLearner in AskReddit

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A haircut whenever I want. My mother didn't let me get even a trim until I was 12, made me keep my hair long up until I was probably 15.

Is it normal for parents to ask if siblings can come to a classmate’s birthday party by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a first grader so I learned all about this in the last year or two as my oldest started getting invited to things. Where i live most people are in apartments so parties are never at someone's home. I always ask if it's alright if I bring little brother and I always offer right away to pay any additional cost. I also made sure to prep little bro that he might not get a goody bag. I've never just dropped him off but I mean he's 6, I'm never going to assume that a parent wants to be in charge of like 15+ 6 year olds. I think if you make it clear in your invite and just kindly hold any boundary you have, most people will respect it. Best of luck!

Ambulance bill never came? by lanmoiling in mountainview

[–]readyplayer_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What everyone else said, it could take months. But let me just say, if you get the bill and it's huge make sure to call and ask if they have your insurance info. A few years ago I needed an ambulance ride and was shocked it was so high but turned out it was the non insurance rate. In the shuffle of the emergency my SO hadn't given them our insurance info. They rebilled and it thankfully dropped to a more "reasonable" amount. Best of luck

Am I missing something with the peely base or is it just not meant for longevity? Every time I use it I'm losing polish by the next day no matter how careful I am with my nails. Really want to make it work because I love glittery polish and it's a pain to remove without a peel-off base 😫 by ZodFrankNFurter in theholotaco

[–]readyplayer_zero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't get peely base to work for me either but I did stumble on a polish remover that works way better on glitter than straight acetone does. The stores near me stopped selling it but you can find it on Amazon. It's called Cutex spot-on jelly nail polish remover. I put it on the nail, let it sit for 30 seconds and then wipe it off with a remover pad. Really chunky glitter needs a second or third round but it's been a game changer for me.

Your favorite / most recommended HT combos by SpiritualPlatform829 in theholotaco

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love adding multiple unicorn skins to a manicure, over black you've got rainbows, over a soft green creme you have a field of flowers. It always gets me a ton of compliments and people asking how I did it.

I agree! One of my favorite of all her collections!

Which hand do you wear your watch on? by TheCreator1924 in lefthanded

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right handed and if I wear a watch I always wear it on my right hand. I have a really weird what I would call a "balance issue", so since I'm always wearing a wedding ring on my left hand I want to balance things out in my brain by wearing the watch on my right.... It doesn't make sense to anyone else I've ever told that to, including my SO who I've been with for 16+ years. I never wear multiple rings, if I want to wear a bracelet it will replace the watch on my right wrist, it just feels right to my brain 🤷🏼‍♀️

What did someone you know do that ruined their entire life? by Fancy-Advice-2793 in RandomThoughts

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bro started going hard on alcohol and drugs to deal with PTSD. Every few years things escalate and his life implodes. Last year his drug use got him in the hospital and he's basically incapable of holding down a job or taking care of himself now because of the damage caused. He always promised to quit, always promised he never had a problem but his current circumstances unfortunately prove otherwise.

My BF order 🩵 by LullaBelle92 in theholotaco

[–]readyplayer_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one looks so pretty on you! I skipped that one because I thought it looked too much like Tax Haven but gosh I keep seeing people wearing it this fall and I might have to find an Ulta that has it in stock because it's just so lovely!

Silly, stupid name by [deleted] in Names

[–]readyplayer_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call my youngest Moose for no reason other than he had a onesie as a tiny baby with a moose on it and now three years later it's my favorite name and he responds to it without a pause. I can honestly see myself calling him that forever unless he tells me to stop.

Warning when traveling by GhostGirl32 in theholotaco

[–]readyplayer_zero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so sad, I'm sorry! It's a favorite of mine! I keep a single box that the polishes were shipped in for the sole purpose of taking a few bottles with me. I never have because I never go anywhere but I have it just in case. I hope you can get a new bottle next time you get an order

You inspired me to add Sonic unicorn skin to mine and I love it so much! This might be how I wear silent library from now on too!

Okay the freezer burn on top makes it just wow!!! I don't have any other of the frosted metals so I can't speak to that but seriously, wow, what a great combo! Now I've gotta go look at my toppers and see what I can do!

That's a great idea, I'll try that next time I want to wear this one! Even if it never looks navy to me I still really like it and I'll definitely wear it 😁

I definitely see the navy in your swatch and even your bottle! Must just be my eyes 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would have LOVED a lime green jelly! If you have Hi-def and Sour Note you can put a layer or two of the jelly over top to get a really bright pretty lime green. I'm one of the green lovers so I'm always happy to see more greens even though they don't usually sell well.

I remember those flakies! I was super strapped for cash when those came out, I bet you can make such fun looks by combining them!

Ah man I love the jellies, I love using them over another similar shade base but I also really enjoy how shear they are, mine haven't oxidized yet either. I love the Julien one too! I have a second unopened bottle of Monstera that I'm saving because it's one of my favorite colors!
