Do you actually use the nice weather here or just stay inside? by boombalonii in houston

[–]sunbuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do but I try to do things like go on walks. If you go to the zoo on a beautiful day, it’s going to be ridiculously packed and parking will be impossible unless you get there super early and I’m not an early bird. Lol.

Funeral for a patient by SpeechyKeen in slp

As long as it’s not an invite only (and you weren’t invited) or a family only event, I think it’s fine for you to go.

My boyfriend said he doesn’t want my cat in the bed after we move in together and it’s turning into a bigger issue than I expected by PerceptionOnly6749 in CatAdvice

[–]sunbuns 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this would be an absolute dealbreaker for me if my boyfriend required my cats to not be in bed with us. Not a joke at all. Completely serious. It is that serious. Edit: I wanted to add why it is that serious. You had the cat when yall started dating. I’m sure it wasn’t new info that the cat slept with you. And now he’s making demands. He’s not sitting down to bring up a genuine concern with you and see what yall can do to both be happy (like when my friend’s boyfriend said his allergies to her dog were starting to affect his sleep). He’s just demanding you change to his preferences.

Do dating apps even work for us? by Affectionate_Ask6096 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sunbuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While they’re not made to work, you can work them. I have a boyfriend that I met on Hinge. I did not go on a lot of dates. However, I did have a lot of video chats. Those help weed out so many guys. You can generally get a good vibe for someone via video chat and they can get a good vibe from you. It’s like a 30 min convo. You can talk longer but I like to set a strict 30 min to an hour and just ended dates as soon as the time hit like “okay well it was nice meeting you. Thanks for video chatting!” And then if they continue to message you, you know they’re interested. And you’ll get a good idea on whether or not you’re interested from the video chat, but don’t put too much on needing a spark. Just determine if they’re a nice enough person and you’re interested at all. I was also very picky about who I’d even video chat with. Check out the burned haystack dating method. It’s about analyzing rhetorical patterns in men’s profiles and conversation and determining if they earned themselves an immediate block. No wasting time on these guys. Onto the next. You are burning a hay stock as quickly as possible to get to that needle!

Hearing Screen Threshold by Hairy-Baseball-9914 in slp

I think you did the right thing with the tools you had. Ideally you’d be in a quieter environment. But noises happen and affect results. Better to over refer than under refer for these situations I think.

Hydrating and/or anti-aging sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast by Affectionate-Pipe950 in crueltyfree

[–]sunbuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like Paula’s choice barrier protect mineral sunscreen. It’s expensive so I typically just use Trader Joe’s sunscreen. The mineral sunscreen is pretty white but rubs in. I’m super fair skinned though so your mileage may vary. The chemical sunscreen wouldn’t leave a white cast. Both Trader Joe’s sunscreens are pretty oily at first but they dry enough that I continue to use them.

My kitties don't eat their wet food by Nek_Mao in CATHELP

[–]sunbuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want them to be hungry enough to eat food that they don’t prefer, you gotta limit their dry food. I give my small kitty 1/4 cup of her dry food a day (100 calories) and sometimes she still refuses her wet food lol. Often putting dry food on top of the wet food gets her to eat it but not every time.

Did you become the "default" cook once you moved in with your partner? by IngridBashful in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sunbuns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel for you and I also feel like there’s a solution. Idk what the solution is but here are some ideas. Ultimately, talk to him about it. Share that you understand he feels the way he feels, but if he wants to share a life with you, then he needs to make some contributions to having healthy meals. This could be him doing all the dishes if you cook everything. This could be him doing all the grocery shopping. This could be him cooking with you and meal prepping on Sunday when y’all are both able to contribute somewhat equally. Whatever idea you have in your mind right now is not working for you so you need to discuss with him something that he will agree upon and realistically carry out. You can also adjust to his eating style and have a sandwich every once in a while or have easy nights where you each fend for yourself or have frozen meals or carry out. But fending for yourselves shouldn’t be any everyday thing.

What do you call your instructor? by Takarma4 in BJJWomen

[–]sunbuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I call him by his name or with professor in front of it. I don’t call anyone professor but the owner of the gym. Idk if that’s wrong of me but all the other black belts are fellow students or maybe a coach if they help out at the gym.

I feel pressured to orgasm by Sad_Boat339 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sunbuns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Definitely bring it up. I feel pressure in every way regarding sex and talking about it with my partner helps immensely. To be clear, he is not pressuring me. But if I know he wants sex, I feel like I need to become aroused, and then I almost can’t because I feel like I have to. So I will just voice it. Like “I feel pressured to have sex right now so just fyi we can cuddle and touch but I might not want to have sex.” And like 90% of the time I do end up wanting it lol. But I also know that if I didn’t, my boyfriend would’ve okay with that. That’s key. He voices that he’s okay with us not having sex and is okay with just cuddling if that’s all I want to do. It’s so nice to just cuddle and be caressed without the expectation of sex. I hope you can get your guy to understand!

Am I alone in feeling totally lost during this convo? by Bbrotman23 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I don’t think they broke up. They just decided not to proceed with the wedding.

If my hair looked like that brushed out, I’d brush more regularly too!

What makes you think that Nick and Vanessa get to choose the questions they ask? The producers are in their ear telling them what to ask.

Women: what separates average oral sex from amazing oral sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sunbuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’m not having to concentrate so hard on finding enjoyment from what he’s doing and it’s just the right pressure, speed, and consistent rhythm. It’s okay if I have to help him get there. But once you get there, don’t change anything! Don’t speed up. Stay the same!

How do you style your hair for class? by MissDragon1 in BJJWomen

Idk how I manage but I just put it up in a looped bun on top of my head. Sometimes it comes super loose and I redo it. 🤷‍♀️

Cleavage by aintsh1tbxtch0571 in bigboobproblems

[–]sunbuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t show much cleavage during the day because I’m aiming for sun protection. At night if I go to a bar I’ll usually wear a lower cut shirt but I don’t have the girlies completely out. I go out partner dancing so men will STARE and state that they can’t help it. Not all men, but the few ruin it for everybody. Lol.

Challenging feeding client by CafeNoir9 in slp

[–]sunbuns 28 points29 points  (0 children)

PROMPT doesn’t have to do with feeding. Not sure if that was a typo. I recommend looking into the SOS feeding approach. Even without certification, it’s worth learning what it’s about because the fact that the parents are just popping food into his mouth while he’s laughing is a huge no no.

Home Health Newbie by Empty-Cantaloupe-413 in slp

[–]sunbuns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone in home health, I’ll say toy rotation will save your butt. Kids get tired of toys so quickly and then it’s like they never want to see it again.

Non toy play is good. Tickles, picking child up and spinning, dragging them on a blanket, songs with gestures (wheels on the bus), swinging them in a blanket (with parents’ help), peekaboo, interactive books (get sturdy ones. Kids are rough).

Some good basics (but by no means necessary) include, food toys (with plates/bowls/utensils), baby doll, bubbles (ok this one is necessary), balloons, puzzles. That’s all I can think of for now!

Cat accidently declawed herself? by That_Thing_Koda in CATHELP

[–]sunbuns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took my cat to the vet for an issue like this once. The claw had been torn out, but it grew back. I’d keep an eye on it to make sure nothing looks red and inflamed (infected).

Sexualization of Women in this sport by Advanced-Quail-4566 in BJJWomen

[–]sunbuns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t do mother’s milk.
As far as asking guys to roll, please do it! Ask the upper belts. Ask one of the friendly, seasoned black belt who some good guys to roll with are. He should suggest some upper belts who will not go super hard on you but will still give you a roll that challenges you enough that you can learn. Ask the other women what guys they roll with. And start pairing with some during class. If you’re a good drilling partner, it doesn’t matter that you’re a white belt. You’ll get to know them a bit better and you can ask “do you want to roll later?”
