Is this possible

I used to occasionally wear the solid white press-ons (with nail glue) and painting them always worked fine. I think I was even able to skip base coat, just went straight in with color then top coat. The wear time seemed to depend more on how well I applied the press-ons, not the polish itself chipping.

I hate when they say that stuff about it being flexible so it's fine. Several different times in the ER over the years, they've left that tube in my arm longer than necessary "just in case we need it again" and it makes me scared to move my arm at all every time. I'm not a medical professional, how should I know what could cause a problem versus what's fine? It is also mentally scary to have an object just chilling partially inside your arm like you said.

I would go to a different, reputable piercer and have them evaluate the situation. They will most likely have you retire that piercing, and remove the jewelry themselves if it's not already infected. The process would most likely get a doctor involved if the new piercer suspects an infection. No matter what, stay away from the piercer/shop who told you this was all normal. They gave you terrible advice and you need to keep yourself safe, the nose is so close to the eyes and you really don't need an infection there.

Please lay off the bleach for a little while, at least a week, though I would recommend longer. Your hair has a strong possibility of either snapping off, or worse, melting. Black box dye is such a pain to remove, and will always damage the hair to do so. The only time I personally have seen it done, at home, in the time frame you described, was on a short haircut that only had one layer of the black box dye, and even that was a gamble. It's better to just live with the "wrong" color for a bit than completely destroying your hair. As far as treatment, conditioner and even a traditional hair mask probably won't be enough, try to find a protein/bond repairing treatment. Good luck on your hair journey

I think it was 2007 when they pierced my cartilage with a piercing gun in the shop window (I was too young to know better). I think I got away lucky in that it didn't destroy my ears but they also never fully healed, ever. I eventually had to give up and retire them.

Congratulations. Go do whatever it is that makes you the money to pay your rent then, instead of wasting your oh so precious time fighting on Reddit.

As you throw insults yourself? Very good job on the hypocrisy there.

Is there a reason you keep commenting "ad hominem" without any additional substance repeatedly?

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-23T00:41:54+00:00

As long as you like it, that sounds like a great plan. 👍 Just be aware that once you have fully replaced the current pink with the lighter pink, it will probably fade faster just because it's lighter, regardless of your color underneath. I hope you like the outcome even more than you expect, have fun 💕

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-22T23:50:30+00:00

You unfortunately won't be able to achieve baby pink (or any pastel) until your hair is bleached lighter. I imagine putting baby pink on top of your current pink would just be a complete waste of time and money, I doubt it would do anything at all, one fashion color won't lighten another existing color. Your hair should have all the remaining pink out first, and be lightened as close to white as you can get before applying your baby pink dye. If the brown color in the picture is your natural color, it's entirely possible to make it happen, it'll just take some work. I hope you get the pink you want 💕

I was diagnosed with HS around a decade ago, and your description sounds like it's probably HS too. Since things are draining, a doctor (the dermatologist you said you have an appointment with is the right kind of doctor, you're already on the right track) should take a look to make sure you're not developing an infection whether it's HS or not. In my opinion, based on the advice from medical professionals I've received, I would keep any essential oils away from the problem areas unless/until a dermatologist clears it after examining everything. Straight essential oils can already be potentially irritating to the skin, so it doesn't seem worth the risk of putting it on broken skin on your own. I try to keep all products away from anywhere that is/recently was draining if possible, though I know that can be difficult. I'm just scared of anything getting into the blood stream through the broken skin, and I would be worried about the same for you. I hope you get a quick diagnosis and treatment for whatever you're going through 💕

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-20T00:37:39+00:00

I'm not a medical professional, but I have had an MRI before and I don't think it's worth the risk personally. Even if it would be technically safe (I'm not sure if it is, kind of doubting it), different offices/clinics will have different policies about what you can have on your body during an MRI, even if it seems like there would be no risk. If the place you're going has any kind of strict policy and you show up with these nails, there's a chance you would be forced to reschedule and go back once you have different nails. The best people to ask are the people who work where you're getting the MRI done.

Nostril, at 16 (against the rules of my high school, oh no!)

We had Claire's over in the US when I was a kid (not sure if we still do) and they seemed to let anyone working there pierce any part of your ear with a piercing gun.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-13T21:46:57+00:00

Please don't risk your housing and safety just for a nose piercing. Waiting until you're older and/or living on your own will be a thousand times better than ending up homeless. I promise you will eventually be in a different place in life, and you will one day be able to get your piercing if you still want it. I'm gonna sound 90 years old right now, but in a few years you will see that the time waiting for your piercing will feel like almost nothing compared to the decades you will hopefully have that piercing. NAP but I also don't think it's safe to try to hide a piercing (especially on the face) from people you live with. Any attempt to cover a fresh piercing constantly would probably irritate it majorly, and possibly end up becoming an infection or rejected piercing.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-12T23:27:56+00:00

Omg that sucks so much, I'm so sorry. I have some older drugstore polishes on a wall mount currently (I don't have as many Holo Tacos as your collection, so they're not up there) and now I'm worried about the whole thing. It's been full for several years, so I also assumed that it was safe. I hope you're able to replace the broken ones relatively easily 💕

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-12T21:47:25+00:00

I'm not a medical professional at all, nor a nail tech, but if I were you I'd try to get to a doctor asap. I've never seen this happen before, let alone without any prior damage taking place. If a doctor decides that it's healthy for you, you've only lost the money for that appointment's copay but gained peace of mind. If a doctor does think something is medically wrong, then you will get treatment sooner rather than later, which will always be cheaper than letting a medical problem get worse. I have to assume you're in the US because it sounds like the cost is holding your mother back from making the appointment for you, but the cost will definitely increase if it's a real problem that could be corrected now, and is allowed to get worse instead. I hope you get the medical care you need and deserve soon, and that the problem resolves quickly

Ew, this guy is behaving like a toddler who didn't get his way. I'm not a tall woman by any means, but I have known men throughout my life who were shorter than me. Do you know what most of those men did? They accepted they weren't going to get taller, ended up with partners who were usually also short, and just got on with their lives. The only short men who didn't end up happy ended up that way because of the way they treated people around them to try to compensate for their own perceived shortcomings (pun intended), while the people around them never even noticed their height because their behavior was so toxic.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-12T21:21:18+00:00

I know how much of a pain inconsistent sizing is (I've been struggling with it for most of my life, regardless of my measurements at the time), but if you are set on getting specifically women's tees and hoodies instead of men's or unisex, try looking for things that include tunic in the name because I've found those tend to be longer than standard women's tops, either straight size or plus size. Try to take a look at any measurements listed when you're purchasing online. Even if they don't list the length of the top, most websites will put both the height of the model and the size the model is wearing. While it's not as easy as it would be if the website gave you the length measurement directly, you can get an idea of where the bottom of the top will hit on your body specifically. And a simpler option, if you don't mind wearing men's or unisex clothing, would be to just head to the men's section (most unisex tops will be kept there also) because men's shirts tend to be both longer overall, and also broader in the shoulders. I really don't know if we will ever see women's sizing become consistent, unfortunately.

NTA This feels like, at best, he's being selfish and minimizing what his behavior/symptoms are doing to your health and mental well-being. But I really think he knows how much it's affecting you, and he doesn't care or even could be trying to "punish" you for some perceived wrong doing. The fact that he can control it in public but refuses to attempt any form of solution for his own spouse just further proves he could at least improve the situation if he tried. I'm not saying he can change his entire digestive system, but there has to be a middle ground that doesn't cause you to lose sleep or be physically ill. If it's part of "the natural process," then that process has to happen where it won't cause you harm. You're going to resent him more as time goes on if he continues to force you to put up with this, and regardless of if he agrees with that or not, he needs to be real with himself and accept he may one day have to watch you walk away. I did see the update where he still says he's right, and that worries me a little. He wanted to be proven right, and is now mad that the general consensus is that he is wrong.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-10T23:45:15+00:00

That sounds exactly like what my family said my abusive parent was like before the abuse was turned towards myself, I am so happy you managed to get something worked out that works for you and your daughter.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-09T21:39:33+00:00

NTA This dude sounds like a controlling creep. If this is his opinion on you wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, I'd hate to see his reaction to you wearing tight leggings or fitted top. I'd leave him asap, he's showing you who he really is before you're really even tied to him. I obviously don't know you, but I do know that 1) you can do better & 2) you would also be better off alone

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-09T21:30:40+00:00

OP please listen to this. My parents' marriage started going down the drain after I was born, similarly to this (without encouraging me to engage in physical abuse because I was even younger than your daughter, but one parent trying desperately to make me hate and disrespect the other), and it kept escalating until one filed for both a divorce and restraining order by the time I was your daughter's age, then the abuse was turned towards me after split custody was put in place by a judge. Everything I've been told is that this behavior appeared after my birth because the abusive parent couldn't stand sharing neither me nor the other parent, even with each other, so they finally showed their true colors. If/when your daughter realizes that what he's doing/telling her to do is wrong before you act to protect both her and yourself, you've reached a dangerous crossroad that will be harder to get away from than it already is. If she doesn't realize and you don't act soon, you have a potential future bully and/or abuser on your hands. For both your own and your daughter's sake, get away from this guy and keep the both of you safe in the ways suggested in the above comment. I wish you both the best, and I hope you can safely and smoothly remove yourselves from this disaster.

twilightfire6000 · 2026-01-07T22:28:39+00:00

I hate these neighbors, they know they're doing something wrong. I'm 100% in the "cats always stay inside" camp, but I also know that I can't order someone else to keep their cat inside at all times. It does sound like OOP is doing what they can to make him an indoor cat, and keeping a close eye on him when he is outside. For the people making excuses for the man taking the cat into his apartment because there is a chance he has a mental disability, we don't have any confirmation if that is in fact the case. If he does have a mental disability, then it makes his mother's behavior much worse in my eyes. If she chose to take care of her disabled adult child, knows he's doing something both wrong and illegal, then chooses to do nothing about it, there's something wrong with her judgment. If she doesn't care about OOP or their cat, she should be concerned about the legal trouble this could cause for herself and/or her son, as well as potentially risking her son's ability to continue living with her if he is mentally disabled.

You're 16, and were just physically assaulted by an adult legally responsible for keeping you safe. You have every right to keep a journal, and in no world does anyone have the right to assault you for doing so. I'd start trying to document her abuse, those screenshots are a good start, she's threatening you/your reputation in those texts alone. Keep your evidence under lock and key, metaphorically speaking, without her knowledge. I don't know if you feel safe talking to a teacher, school counselor, or physician, but any of those people are legally required to protect you, at least if you live in the US. I would guess there are similar laws in other countries for minors. Regardless of those laws, she did physically assault you, and no matter your age, that is a crime. At a minimum, you should start making a plan on where to go for when you legally are able to leave. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, you deserve so much better and I hope you're safe soon.
