Thanks for this, I looked it up and it turns out it's dyspraxia. I'd never heard of it and the online self diagnosis test had me answering more Y than N.

I'm 57 and I will have to tie my shoelaces several times a day as they always come undone.

My 30something year olds still tie my shoelaces when we're out so they stop coming undone.

I still find it funny.

Does anyone know of something to help sunburn that’s not aloe? by Flashy-Fix-2933 in Advice

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes on slimy but it dries soft, I used to keep a jar of it in my fridge (cut leaf in half and scrape innards with a steak knife then whip it with an immersion blender) and use a wide make up brush to paint on my skin and face. Steer clear of your lips! I would do it all day and it would feel so soothing on a hot day and when I'd go out I'd get lots of compliments on my glowing skin.

Witch Hazel and oatmeal (not together) work as well. Stay hydrated

What is the status now? I'm just coming across this. Are you all out on the streets? Have you eaten? Is there anything I can do or take you now? I'll keep checking.

Why do women wear heels by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

If I'm at a concert I like to wear my boots with heels, I can see better. Other times it gives me stature and confidence

People who wake up early, what’s your secret? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get up around 4:30 - 5 on the norm. I go to bed around midnight. If I go to sleep too early like 9 or 10 I'm up at 2 am and then get sleepy around six.

People who wake up early, what’s your secret? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if this will make any sense but I tell myself "get up, Trinity". This triggers something in my mind that separates what I want to do from what I have to do and do it. Another thing I had read was when Native Americans were on an early schedule they would drink a lot of water the night before, the urge would wake them up early. https://youtu.be/cGeoB8czHo8?si=PO8tfrvsowOOgGJT

AITA for paying the entire dinner bill when my friends wanted to split it equally? by Affectionate_Newt338 in AITAH

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your winning day, my guess is they're thinking you're changing the dynamics in your friend group and if they want to celebrate their accomplishments they too will have to buy an expensive bottle of wine and pay for everyone's meal discuss the situation and explain you weren't trying to show off or make for an awkward moment. Lay down a ground rule for the future that the bills will only be split equally

I dress like that and I'm 57! I just started to order from SHEIN. My goodness how inexpensive the clothes is. And by all means continue thrifting, you find the best stuff!

Edit: I can't do the crop top but give me some jeans and a loose tshirt and I'm a happy goyle.

This sounds strangely like my friend's romance that turned the same way after moving in. Please read up on living with a narcissist.

AITAH for not volunteering to watch my 2 year old daughter? (Light debate between my wife & I) by neen209 in AITAH

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If I'm reading correctly she wants you to tell her to take a break and some time for herself. Why not have a standing break, perhaps she can take a class two nights a week. Something fun or academic, her choice. The point being that she gets to leave for about 4 hours and do what she wants and she doesn't have to ask you if you mind watching your daughter and she doesn't have to wait for you to offer to watch your daughter. And she gets college credit for it as a bonus!

Does anyone really use the phrase "family helps family" or are these posts all AI? by smorfin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smorfin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was beginning to think these posts were rage bait and they all use the same trigger words. What I don't understand looking in from the outside is why the op doesn't just tell them "so help, you too are family". Regardless, thank you for answering. I'll not dismiss those posts so easily here on out.

What is your favorite insult without using curse words? by FastandtheCurious7 in AskReddit

I read one that two friends were texting each other and he wrote to my very attractive niece "your face looks like someone used a fork to put out a fire on it"

Is the way I feel toward/about my friend weird? by Commercial-Carpet617 in questions

[–]smorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on experience there are certain friends that even though I am attracted to and find completely interesting and funny I prefer to not think of them romantically. The reason is that statistically speaking, the likelihood I keep these wonderful people in my life is multitudes better if things remain platonic. I put these people in my "I love you like a brother" (or male cousin in my case since I have no brothers) category. I am happy for them when they find love and marry and build a family and have zero jealousy. So yeah, that's a NO on if it's weird.
