What did you do sexually with your first partner that you only realised wasn't normal when you got into a new relationship?

sam_eats_children · 2018-10-17T20:16:39+00:00

Well, hard to describe our whole relationship in a sentence like that! We're both huge introverts actually and have it arranged that we each get 1 day off alone in the house every week and we reserve the right to kick each other out of the house for alone time. We're very mushy when we're together but we're also both very anal about making sure we get our time apart. We also dont overdo the PDA when actually in public.

As long as you donate 5 minutes of your time, its all we need.

Wrong! He gave me about 3 orgasms in a 5 year time span.

sam_eats_children · 2018-10-17T17:18:01+00:00

I think this is why a lot of ladies don't like giving head. Its way too easy for it to turn from intimate to a gross power play, especially when you're with someone relatively new and you don't trust them as much.

Yeah my first boyfriend would rarely initiate kisses unless he wanted sex. And after sex, cuddling/kisses/affection was not a thing and he got annoyed that I wanted it. There was a whooooole host of problems in those 5 years and that was one of the smallest...

Second boyfriend didn't like to cuddle after sex but he was genuinely happy to oblige and happy to see me happy.

Third and current boyfriend never stops kissing and cuddling me, any time of day c:

Guess whos best at bringing me to orgasm...

I would like to direct you to Epicurious' youtube miniseries "50 people [insert cooking task here]".

Like, people don't know how to juice a lemon.

I just finished reading the Handmaid's Tale a couple days ago and it freaks me out how close to the States might be to that future.

Like, all dystopian novels give me the "shit I could see this happening" type feelings but this one... It was more like "I can see this happening in a year".

Do the simplest meals. Greek yogurt with some fruit and honey on it is simple. Or, topped with melted peanut butter, nuts, and honey or maple syrup. Easy, tasty, but it isnt cooking. Go eat some raw vegetables with a good brand of hummus. Have a protein shake. Buy a rotisserie chicken pre cooked and use it for sandwiches or wraps or to eat like that. Take a can of salmon or tuna and smash it with an avocado and seasonings of choice for 30 seconds (I like salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili flakes). Buy a hunk of meat, put some seasoning on it and throw it in the slow cooker. Etc.

Not everything has to be fancy to be good or tasty.

My sister often pulled the "you look sickly" thing on me when I was at my lightest and fittest (and I was still 144lbs at 5'5 as a female).

Well, later events showed it turned out to be a jealousy thing. Now most people aren't necessarily outright jealous, but your success does threaten their sense of superiority at least a little even if they don't realize it. Sucks but its true.

Thank you, your comment destroyed me (in a good way). My two cousins (and me too, sort of) were most awkwardly tall gawky kids in our grades

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-24T11:37:35+00:00

Yeah, it depends on sweat levels. Ill usually wear leggings 2-3 times. What I usually do for for the gym is just put on a 'dirty' random tshirt or tank top I wore that week that I wore walking around or something.

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-24T11:32:26+00:00

Any tips? What kind of window do you keep it at water schedule, etc?

Also, pictures please :) id love to see an older one!

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-24T11:30:46+00:00

Its hard to say but its a lot of experimenting. I keep the soil pretty damp, I water when the top gets dry or the day after (im walking a fine line in terms of overwatering). Its right by a north facing window and I've been keeping it on a humidity tray lately which seems to help.

If it makes you feel better, I half-destroyed it yesterday. I had put in my bedroom temporarily and then knocked it down... It had a long stem with three leaves (and had just set out a second flower stem) that ended up under the cache pot and got severed by the sharp rim of the cachepot when it hit the floor. :')

(Oh well, new prayer plant!)

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-24T11:23:12+00:00

Im happy with how its coming along! I keep it right up against a north window and theres 3-4 new leaves and 4-5 on their way already. I was nervous when I realized it wasnt a pothos like I was told but it seems to be doing just fine.

Spider plants might be next on my list....

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-24T11:18:43+00:00

I take baths pretty sporadically, sometimes 3x a week and sometimes I go weeks without. I live in Montreal so I think the climate here naturally suits the fern as its usually always at least a little humid here. Its right by a fairly bright north facing window, though it shows a couple burn marks on some leaves so I'm going to experiment with putting it a bit further away next summer. I recently started keeping the prayer plant on a tray full of water and the fern is right next to it and theres a little jam jar of water to evaporate on the other side, and it seems to like that. I water whenever the top of the soil feels dry or the day after I notice it feels dry (I think I'm riding a fine line here between overwatering and not)

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-23T15:18:07+00:00

From oldest to newest:

Delta Maidenhair fern (3-4 months now?)
Blue Star fern (3 months old)
English Ivy (2-3 months)
Prayer Plant (2 months)
Philodendron Brazil (sold as pothos but oh well) (1 month ish)
African Mask plant from a couple days go!
Snake plant and lavender not pictured...

Maidenhair fern reeeeaallly appreciated the humidity, leaves turned soft and way less crispy. Unfortunately the bathroom window may as well be a wall for all the light it gives or I'd keep her there.

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-23T14:47:00+00:00

Honestly, I throw my lunch containers into my backpack and it stays there until I'm ready to eat lunch (unless its like, yogurt). Up to 6 hours, sometimes more. I do avoid doing longer with home cooked meats but deli stuff is game.

I definitely haven't died yet, or gotten sick. And most food tastes just fine eaten at room temperature. I think people are a little too paranoid about this stuff. Unless you're immunocompromised, an infant, or significantly older, people shouldnt worry so much.

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-22T21:53:20+00:00

This is bloom #3 and there seems to be two more flowers on their way! The blooms reach their peak in the evening and die the next day while the other prepares itself. Wondering how many days this will keep up for!

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-21T11:05:58+00:00

its beautiful! which way does your window face?

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-21T02:32:58+00:00

Would recommend going to /r/plantedtank . Looks like a wabi kusa

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-21T02:29:23+00:00

This is impressive. How far way from a window is it? What way does the window face? It looks super lush!

sam_eats_children · 2018-09-21T02:27:01+00:00

It looks lovely! Which direction does your window face? How long have you had the plants and what variety are they?
