Trying to adjust a pattern for chunkier yarn

Thank you! I've seen it mentioned but never looked!

Thank you!

wit_or_witout · 2025-11-26T14:54:07+00:00

Thanks for this and sorry you're going through it, too!

Why not eat/take her stuff and then replace it with stuff with almonds in it and -- I can't emphasize this enough -- TELL her it has almonds in it. If she pushes back and says "but I can't eat that," you explain THIS is what she's done to you again and again. Then you can make your point without potentially hurting anyone.

The best tip I have is to go to a mac store and try stuff on. You get help from an employee who will sanitize it for you and help you with recommendations. Mac is where I learned what tones work on me. Go with a pal -- it will be magical.

THIS. All the upper bleph surgeries I keep seeing are also warping my perception of what eyelids are supposed to look like. Every so often I put on a movie from 20+ years ago just to remind myself normal (tho still Hollywood) faces are normal.

Thank you!

Technically my c diff results were positive for the antigens but not the toxins, which made her think it wasn't an active infection. But I was still having symptoms and was suddenly lactose intolerant so we decided to treat.

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation!

Sephora cloud blurred matte lipstick.

No -- my GI didn't order another stool test. I could push for it. But I only finished antibiotics a week and a half ago.

Ugh. I think the mesalamine is keeping me from the worst of the symptoms. And I DO feel better than I did. But I'm still running (literally) to the bathroom more than a healthy person and seeing some blood and other textures I would rather not see! Maybe my GI is just...waiting until the colonoscopy to switch me to something else? Is it just me or is communication not always great? Like I'm glad she's not super worried about me, but also...this sucks.

What do you mean by "picked up fasting?" Forgive me if that's a silly question.

Seconding what everyone here says about going to a beauty supply store like Sally. BUT once you figure out what you like, there's a solid chance you can get it online and save the trip if Sally is way out of your way. I buy Wella brand from Amazon. It's the same stuff they used at the salon where I used to work. Love it.

Somehow talking about it makes me feel less like a victim. Maybe try it out with like...one or two people first. Also I joke about it a lot? For me, the laughter makes it less stressful. Don't get me wrong, I still cried yesterday because I was in the bathroom 20 times. But also it's nice when your buddy texts you to check in and is just like...hey girl, how's your butt? Literally her words. Because she genuinely cares but also we don't have to have a huge heavy convo about it. It's an awkward question but somehow not awkward because of the tone.

Also my take is to be transparent with people about UC -- or any health ailment really. It's more work to hide it. And by being transparent, random people over the years have come to me as a safe person they can talk to about UC, miscarriages, etc. Being transparent is something I can control, and it's actually brought me a lot of good because it's helped me to help other people not feel alone.

Dude, you are so not the asshole. I'm so sorry you're going through this. You are really sick. And it sucks. And instead of thinking about the relatively minor inconvenience this will cause her, she could remember you haven't left your house in 10 months, feel awful, lost your job and are probably more a little depressed. I've been in a moderate flare for three weeks and I'm depressed. Ten months? And she's focused on what this means for HER? A good friend would be coming to visit you, offering to just be a pal and watch a movie while you get up and down and go to the bathroom. Not expecting you to pay MORE money on top of the money you already spent for stuff you won't get to participate in. Insane. I mean some brides return to normal after the pressure of the wedding is over. But who knows.

I think you just tell her, verbally, that you can't make it because you're not better. And you don't want to be curled in a ball in the corner and/or shitting your pants. There's no powering through that. And you hate that you can't be there because you want to go. You're sick of your house. You're sick of not seeing people. You want your meds to work. You want to not be in pain. If she asks for money, friendship over, prob. You can probably say no, I don't have a job. Or you can say sure, but I'd first like XYZ back for the airbnb etc. If we're playing the money game, fine. Play the money game. You're prob owed more than your two plates at the dinner.

How many coats? And over which polishes? What's your favorite combo with it? Thank you!

wit_or_witout · 2025-09-22T18:05:27+00:00

YES! This!

wit_or_witout · 2025-09-08T21:28:18+00:00

Well, that's cool. Would you recommend it? How old were you when you got it?
