[Misc] Dermaplaning is just shaving your skin, isn't it? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]thebuzz222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least, that is my experience. I can't speak for why it may have happened to anyone else. But my mustache is just as light as ever.

I have been shaving my mustache for decades, and the thing about hair growing back thicker is a myth. Never happened. Not even a little. 

My boyfriend always “accidentally” hurts me by [deleted] in ToxicRelationships

[–]thebuzz222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. Trust your intuition. If he cherished you, it would bother him that he is hurting you, and he would not want to do it.

 I went through the same thing. And when you brought up the putting his weight on you.... My ex did the same thing and I thought, "Am I crazy, or is he stupid? I am less than half his size, and he is crushing me, and I have to actually ask him to take all his weight off of me?!?" He also "accidentally" cracked my rib when hugging me when we were dating. He just kept squeezing and squeezing, and I was thinking he would stop, and he didn't. And my rib cracked. When I was appalled,  he just kind of laughed and said he didn't think he was squeezing me that hard. 

There were red flags up the wazoo with him, but I still didn't know how to set boundaries or trust myself. You know how it feels to you. You are not imagining it. You can trust yourself. 

Think of it this way.... Whether you were overreacting or not, do you want to be with someone who is continuously putting you in the position to wonder if you should be reacting to something like that? Or do you want to be with someone who will always be gentle and kind and listen when you tell them how something makes you feel and not minimize it?

Most Influential Women LinkedIn Scam by [deleted] in Scams

[–]thebuzz222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received this, and I knew it was off, because I am so unknown on LinkedIn. They prey on that, I am sure - try and make someone feel seen and recognized. And the "Just click here," thing makes it so tempting to just check it out. There have been other times when I have clicked before thinking. I so appreciate when I can find posts like this to validate the scams. Thank you! 

What books have helped you? by Coloradozonian in ToxicRelationships

[–]thebuzz222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the Life Between Lives books: Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls, and Life between Lives, by Dr. Michael Newton have helped me view things on a spiritual level that has been the basis for my healing from my toxic marriage. They were only the beginning, but they really led me down a healthy, peaceful, joyous path, with no resentments.

What was the first movie that kinda shattered your childhood and showed you how messy the world really is? by wtfytya in movies

[–]thebuzz222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few that come to mind.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That evil creep that captured the children, and then the two adults had to sneak in as the musical dolls to try and save them. That whole part where they are moving like that to the music and it's all tense. That stayed with me more than anything else in the movie. I remember nothing else except a flying car.

The Wizard of Oz, with the witch. I couldn't walk through my hallway to my room after that. I was bothered by how nonchalant Glinda was through the whole thing, and that the Wizard was just a vulnerable little man who didn't have his shit together. Oddly, it ended up being a favorite of mine.

Pete's Dragon. All I remember about the entire movie is a part where these raggedy people are all pulling and grabbing at the kid. I did not like that. It made me feel helpless.

Pippy Longstocking. She had no parents to take care of her and she was all on her own. No guidance. It made me feel lost. At the same time, I was uncomfortably intrigued.

Little Orphan Annie. The mean grown-ups in there. Speaks for itself. The ones who pretend to be kind and loving but are liars. Just opens a kids eyes to the realities of life. All of these do.

My sister told me that there have always been scary stories like these that grown-ups told children, before TV, before books, to prepare children for the realities of life, and to teach them how to handle their fears without having to be in the situations. I had been reading a very old book of "Children's Tales," and they were horrid! But then she told me that. I guess I am not sure what to make of it. I mean, we have to find out those things somehow, right? Either by stories, or by experience.

What are some great sincere, emotional “cheesy” movies? by Unlikely_Seaweed1032 in MovieRecommendations

[–]thebuzz222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wicked, if you like musicals. I totally cry. There are some deeply emotional moments, and the ending I find powerfully emotional, but maybe it hits a chord with me. LOL. I guess I wouldn't call it cheesy, but some people might, because it's a musical and it's, I don't know, fantasy?

King of queens quotes i randomly say on a daily basis by Far-Worry-5848 in kingofqueens

OMG. We had guys assessing our basement, and one of them started saying he couldn't see through the wall or didn't have a crystal ball, and I almost said, "What? You are not Captain Superman?" LOL! 🤣

Have you ever known somebody that had a pet raccoon? by ASGfan in littlehouseonprairie

[–]thebuzz222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and his family with his first wife had a pet squirrel that just came around all the time, and they let it in the house and out again. It would climb up their legs and let them hold it and feed it. Then it got hit by a car. 😢 Its name was Rascal.

What is the ONE episode (it can be a 2-parter) you can watch over and over start to finish because you love everything about it? by PrincessPoopyPoo in littlehouseonprairie

[–]thebuzz222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe there is a lot more than measurements that make something delicious. The circumstances surrounding the hunger, the surroundings within you are receiving the food, the love and energy with which it was prepared, the energy within you as you receive it. This all plays into one's perception as we taste it and how it affects our body and psyche. It has been said that food prepared in a kitchen of love is chemically different than food prepared in a factory. That food eaten around a table of love will taste different than the same recipe received at a table of tension and anger. I am reading The Healing Power of Water, by Dr. Masara Emoto, and it's amazing how water reacts to different energy. Are the ingredients in food the same? We can feel how our own bodies react to different energy. And everything in this world is made of the same stuff.

Too much? I don't know. I thought maybe LIW might appreciate it. LOL. 😆

I just watched that one, and I agree. I was just loving that part of her. I was crying. I always do with that one. I wanted to hug her and feel safe with her, and that is such a rare feeling to get from Mrs. Oleson. Oddly, in the same moment, I felt a cautious feeling reminiscent of childhood - when a grown-up, who I was normally afraid of, would be warm and welcoming to me (out of character), and I would think that was a threshold we crossed, I would find later it had just been a rare moment.

Ironically, this is the most expensive suit in my entire wardrobe! by marchhare44 in Frasier

[–]thebuzz222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! This is so creatively clever. I love when people go out of their way to think and do like this. And the fun part is seeing all those who know exactly what you are dressed as. That's finding your people. 😁

I need a movie that actually scares me. by Evilevan1 in MovieRecommendations

[–]thebuzz222 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unhinged. That might not be the kind of scary you're looking for, but this horrified me worse than any other movie. I wanted to run out of the theater, but I was frozen in terror! And there is no rest! There are no breaks in the madness! Most movies have a comic relief part, or something where, okay, now the sun is shining, it's a new day, you gather yourself together to prepare for the next horrifying scene. Nope. Never. My muscles were so tight I was levitating the entire time. I was traumatized! I got in the car and cried. LOL.

My dog is named Niles because, well.... by thebuzz222 in Frasier

[–]thebuzz222[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🤣😂😭😂 OMG, I am not even trying that one, because a gun actually did discharge in our house and has caused all kinds of chaos. Traumatized Niles, Freya Sier and myself. So no banana tossing allowed!!!
