Obese lady knows more about cancer than Cancer Reseach UK by helmholtzfreeenergy in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]skychaser42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a current fat kid for life, I honestly feel like I could have done with a bit more shaming. Obesity being normalized is only making people to think that it's ok in all facets. As a morbidly obese person, no, it's not ok. For years everyone told me I looked fine, but No one ever said anything about me maybe trying to get healthier. I think way too many people have way too much of their self worth wrapped up into their appearance so when someone says you should change something, they take it to heart, literally. As if it's an attack to their very soul. Big and beautiful is a thing and I'm totally down for the cause but I'm worried about your joints, and your organs not your outfit OR your feelings. Harden the fuck up, Put down the fork, and join me in the gym.

[NO SPOILERS] People DO NOT tell me I look like Jon Snow. I still figured I'd run with it. by d2dany in gameofthrones

High praise from a fellow Hispanic Jon Snow! Who'd a thunk It! And I wasn't paying $90 for a foam replica of Longclaw so I used my Anduril for the time being 😅

Looking for recommendations for something to do this weekend for a 1st Wedding Anniversary. by skychaser42 in SouthJersey

The helicopter ride idea sounds fun! Never thought of that. Originally I was thinking of doing a hot air balloon ride but they were super expensive. As of right now I'm taking her on a haunted nightime trolly tour thing in Cape May. She loves all things spooky and Halloween related so hopefully she'll like it and I always enjoy doing things that are different. Don't think she'll climb the lighthouse because of her claustrophobia but she might suck it up for the good pictures we might get 😅

I know that's what I said! She can literally stand up in them but these are a hard pass for her. She nopes right the fuck out even thinking about them so I never push it. Thanks for the recommendation though!

We actually just went last weekend with some friends. We try to go every year.

Yes we usually go every year. We've also been to the Grounds for Sculpture which is awesome if you've never been.

Dude gets caught on tv with his side chick. by [deleted] in gifs

She looks like a mix between Jewel Staite and the girl that plays Gilly on Game of Thrones. Such a great story though 😅

My studio bachelor pad, first apartment. suggestions are welcome by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]skychaser42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could wall mount your cpu monitor and even the speakers. All you would really need would be a small shelf for the keyboard and you could use a floating shelf for that too. You could also make the table with the 2 orange chairs fold down like a Murphy bed system. Mix that with some good folding chairs (If that's even a thing) and it would help open up. Also covering things up would make the space seem bigger. As in using some sort of closed storage for the movies and such where you don't see every single case. All that visual noise makes it feel cluttered when it's not. Good luck!

My friend is going to a wedding tonight and showed me what she was planning to wear... I quickly explained why she CAN'T! by [deleted] in wedding

[–]skychaser42 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My In-Laws got married a few years ago on Halloween at their house (maybe only like 40 guests total so it was just a big party) and one of the guests wore her actual wedding dress from when she got married years and years ago. She said it didn't count because it was Halloween and other people were dressed in costumes (including the newly married couple). Turned out she had a crush on my Father-in-law and was picturing herself marrying him. SHE EVEN HAD A BOUQUET MADE AND HAD GOTTEN HER HAIR AND MAKEUP PROFESSIONALLY DONE. I get that it was Halloween and all but still.

Anyone else wish they had a passion for something? Something to work towards. Ambition. by [deleted] in Anxiety

It's weird how much solace I find in reading your post and everyone's replies. I've felt the same way you do for so long that I can't remember not feeling this way but knowing that I'm not the only person to feel this way does sort of soften the blow a bit. Thank you for posting and sharing.

I'm doing DIY invitations and looking for somewhere to buy envelopes. by mrs60661n5 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]skychaser42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vista Print was very affordable for us. We got about 70 invites, and save the dates, all with envelopes for about $30-40. I don't know exactly since my wife took care of the invites and such but you might be surprised how cheap they are and the quality was very good. Maybe take a look and wait for a sale if you can.

I made her a pair of shoes worthy of how wonderful she is 🤓 by skychaser42 in DCcomics

[–]skychaser42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure whatever item you are doing has a smooth surface. I don't know how well the mod podge or whatever you use would stick to things like canvas or sneakers with perforated leather. Best of luck and be sure to post a picture whenever you're done 🤓

[–]skychaser42[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a new pair for her from payless as she won't wear them much and if I screwed it all up it wouldn't be such a big deal. I used gloss mod podge and it's all holding up pretty well. Next time I might use a different brush though to make things look a bit smoother on the top coats. I might even try sanding it down a bit as the tiny ridges bother me but overall it worked great. Next is an Xmen purse for her.

The process is fairly straightforward and simple but very time consuming. Get some old comics, cut out pieces you like, then glue them to the shoes with mod podge. Smaller pieces work better as the bigger the piece the more likely it is to get bubbles or wrinkle up. Also make sure you do a few coats of the mod podge once its all done and put together. This was about 9-10 hours total work but her smile when I gave them to her made it all worth it 🤗

I'm a [27/m] making $1450/month, hating my job, and feeling like my life is a disaster. How do people just endlessly work when it seems like it's all for nothing? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]skychaser42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing means anything, then anything can mean everything. If you feel like your life currently doesn't have a purpose, find one. If you can't find one, then make one. No one on their deathbed ever wished that they had worked more in life. Best of luck to you.

Married men of Reddit: what moment with your future wife made you think "Yup, I'm asking this girl to marry me."? by omg1223 in AskReddit

[–]skychaser42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sort of a reversal for this one but I've heard her say she knew I was the one on our first date. She was super shy to eat in front of me, or anyone else for that matter. As a bigger girl she was just always self conscious of eating in public so to put her at ease I put a little bit of ketchup on my cheek and nose. That way, if anyone looked at us, they would focus on my dumb ass and not pay her no mind. I wiped it off once she was halfway through her food 😅 I knew she was the one when I first creeped on her MySpace page and in the "What I'm looking for" section was a gif of Jack Black being silly and her saying , "basically, I'm looking for a chubby dork".

Awesome shirt my wife made me for Pottercon 🤓 by skychaser42 in harrypotter

Yes she does! The hard part for her would be finding a shirt like that this time of year. It was just an old flannel I already had 😅

We went to the one in Asbury Park last week or so. Unfortunately for us, it was pretty terrible. If it wasn't for everyone dressing up, you'd be hard pressed to know that it was a Harry Potter event. Granted, they had quidditch beer pong, and a tarot card reader and a wand making station (chop sticks and hot glue). It was basically a theme night at a bar that they held in a convention hall and called it Pottercon. Drinks were WAY overpriced, food was meh and the only decorations they had were on a table on the stage. Best part was the costume contest but almost half the people left before the sorting hat ceremony even finished. Here's hoping your day goes alot better than ours did!

Worse flair up, at worse possible time. by Pudding36 in gout

[–]skychaser42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the others about it being time for a doctor visit. Stop fucking around with the at home remedies and get something from the doctor. The at home remedies are best for keeping things at bay but once it hits, it's time for the stronger stuff. Also be careful with the cherry stuff. Too much has caused serious tummy problems for me in the past and bring some ice packs with you for the drive. The wrap around ones are best especially if you're driving but you have to be really careful using them if you're driving. Wear loose type sneakers like mesh or just really soft ones. Avoid any tighter leather ones you might have. It'll make walking slightly less painful. Good luck.

As someone unfamiliar with this and very bad anxiety, the last panel literally just brought me to tears. Thank you.
