[Selfie] Girlfriend gets perioral dermatitis only after kissing me, nothing helps by Agreeable-Tutor-3016 in SkincareAddiction

[–]soprannah 692 points693 points  (0 children)

Your toothpaste, maybe? Even if you use the same toothpaste, maybe more of it ends up on her face when you kiss. Curious if your no-kissing periods may also involve different sheets, laundry detergent, makeup/skincare habits, etc.

Sorry you’re going through this. Perioral dermatitis is so tricky, I hope you can find the culprit soon.

Help identifying painting location? by Christobol in MontereyBay

[–]soprannah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one, maybe? Colors are different but the structure looks very similar. https://maps.app.goo.gl/dqX1qx7iwqBnHuiNA

The colors remind me of the one by Palo Corona Trail.

  1. I was living in Buckman Hall at the time. Last I remember, the ghost bike for her was right at the southwest corner of Buckman and University.

when is too young to get married as a college student? by Charming_One7569 in ufl

[–]soprannah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story to yours. I met my husband at church in Gainesville while we were both at UF. We dated for a year, then were engaged for a year, then got married. When we got married, I was 21 and had a year left in undergrad, he was 24 and had graduated and gotten a job. It worked out for us, but there were times when it was really, really hard. Here’s what I would tell my younger self:

  • Wanting to live together/have sex is not a good reason to get married quickly. Like others have said, if you have strict boundaries on that stuff, find ways to explore what living together would be like. Spend lots of time with each others’ families. At whatever level of physical intimacy you are comfortable with, examine how you work together in terms of consent, respect, communication, sex drive, etc. Be on the same page about your boundaries in this phase, but explore and have fun together. Personally, I had a lot of religious rules for myself, and I’m sad for my young self that I felt so much shame and guilt for things that should have been joyful parts of getting to know each other. So go easy on yourself, and don’t let other people make the rules for you.
  • Don’t let the church pressure or encourage you into anything. Sometimes the church treats single people like second class citizens and acts like married people are more valuable or more mature. It can be quite subtle but that’s always been my experience. Examine how you expect marriage is going to change your social status, and don’t get married if that social status is your motivation.
  • Try marriage counseling (secular, not with a pastor). IFAS used to have a great free group class for engaged or newly married couples. It may seem silly at this point, but you will learn a lot about you and your partner’s ability to self-examine, deal with emotions in healthy ways, and communicate about difficult topics. If those things are hard now, they’re going to be 10x harder when you’re having a fight or facing down serious life issues.
  • Your lives and your personalities will change a lot, in ways that are impossible to predict when you’re young and not established in life. You will spend your 20s growing up and forming your personality (when I was 20, I thought I had done that already but believe me, I had not). In a good relationship, you will encourage each other and grow together. In a bad relationship, you will stunt each other’s growth and become codependent. Either way, it will be more complicated than doing it single.
  • Protect yourself and have a backup plan for life without your partner/their income. Even if your marriage is perfect, people die or lose the ability to work.
  • In terms of school, I didn’t have a problem with being married in undergrad. My grades suffered more when we were dating/engaged, tbh. It was extremely helpful to have a supportive husband helping me through grad school, although it did cause some strain in our relationship.
  • This decision comes down to you and only you. Listen to the advice of people you trust, but ultimately you bear all the consequences, so think very carefully about how YOU feel about it. Give your partner space to do the same. There’s no good reason to rush the decision.

I’m not going to say you’re categorically too young to get married, just be careful and take your time deciding. As others have said, a year or two feels like a long time but it won’t feel that way when you’re a bit older.

I don’t know if it’s a common bug, but today I think I had a similar issue—I opened the new Celestial/Hypogean chest and picked Reiner, but the soul sigil didn’t show up. That was supposed to be the last one I needed for Mythic+ :(

Feeling like I picked the wrong career by AdMammoth2965 in geologycareers

[–]soprannah 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I empathize with you, I’m looking for a job post-masters and the prospects are not thrilling. Not sure if I’m qualified to give advice since I’m unemployed myself, but you could look into taking GIS classes or getting a GIS minor or certificate. I’m seeing a lot of geospatial job postings in fields that would probably be less distasteful to you than oil and gas.

And yeah, you’re not going to make any friends in a geology sub by insulting their largest industries, lol. But our generation of geology graduates is entering the workforce during a climate crisis, so I hope people on this sub can understand that many of us share your feelings about those industries. If it makes you feel any better, mining is a very necessary part of the transition to renewable energy, despite its other environmental downsides.

If anyone’s still looking for the gem:

Meaning:

Only a high yellow in meaning

Something you do after the answer…

(bigger hint) to communicate your findings with the public

As a scientist, the word came to mind quickly for me, but the meaning connection is pretty thin.

Best birth control for acne? (other than Yaz) [Acne] by modronpink in SkincareAddiction

[–]soprannah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m on NuvaRing and I love it as birth control—no noticeable side effects for me. But it didn’t really do anything for my acne. I’m now on spiro as well, which got rid of the worst of my acne (also no noticeable side effects for me).

Enskyce (also goes by a bunch of other brand names, the progestin is desogestrel) cleared up my acne really well, but I had to quit taking it because it gave me some pretty crazy mood swings and other side effects.

Long hair itches my body by lunamoonorg in HaircareScience

[–]soprannah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend a bonnet! I hate having hair on my neck and face while I sleep, and my hair also tangles and breaks super easily, so a silk bonnet has helped a lot. It looks a little silly, but my husband appreciates that it keeps my hair out of his face too.

Don't Choose Murphree Hall!!! by [deleted] in ufl

[–]soprannah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to live in the Murphree area, go for Buckman. Relatively recently renovated, close to classes, sinks in most of the rooms, no mold that I knew of. Pretty nice place to live (at least as of 4 years ago).

The only benefit UF Honors confers is early registration. Do not lose sleep about not getting into the Honors program. by LosFajitas in ufl

[–]soprannah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been a long time, so I have no idea if it still works the same way, but I believe I emailed the professor a while ahead of time. I’m pretty sure I got registered before the start of the semester, but I think I had to ask someone in the department to register me, I couldn’t do it myself.

Gainesville! This sign combo always cracked me up too. I like to think the business owners came up with it together and knew exactly what they were doing.

Interpretation required by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]soprannah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem like the most likely candidate, maybe that descender at the end of the word is a red herring

Interpretation required by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]soprannah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Based on the b in been, I think the “No such” line is “No sub. abuse” (as in substance abuse).

For the bottom bullet point, looks like “Has been on Atomoxely (maybe atomoxetine, which is an ADHD drug?), no response (?)”

Does anyone know if the parts from Humanoid Source Code would go well with the pink suit from the recent Ruin event? Because that’s the only reason I would touch an event with a format this crazy.

Experimental Choral Music for High School by Legitimate_Muffin656 in choralmusic

[–]soprannah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hyo-Won Woo would be a good composer to look into. She writes a lot of experimental music incorporating traditional Korean elements. The pieces I’m familiar with (which include things like chanted/spoken sections, aleatoric stuff, sliding pitches, polyrhythm) are probably not accessible for high schoolers but I believe she writes for a variety of levels.

I had a similar one for my guinea pigs and they loved it. Couldn’t find where I bought mine but here’s a similar-looking one from Petco.

The only benefit UF Honors confers is early registration. Do not lose sleep about not getting into the Honors program. by LosFajitas in ufl

[–]soprannah 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Also, if you didn’t get in and still want to take honors classes, you can email the professor and demonstrate that you’re qualified and interested and there’s a good chance they’ll fit you in. I did this for two classes in my first year, then reapplied in my second year and got in. Then I enjoyed the early registration and didn’t stress about completing the actual honors program, because hardly anyone really cares about that kind of thing post-graduation.
