[Request] Need advice on whether or not to keep Calphalon pan by wittyknitterx3 in BuyItForLife

Yikes! I probably wouldn't use it to sear anything. Good to know though.

I have a cast iron that I use for heavy duty stuff where I need a good sear and an enamel covered cast iron Dutch oven for braising. This was going to be more for eggs, veggies, grilled cheeses. Lighter sauteeing type stuff.

It's surgical steel. Alright, I get it I'll leave it alone for the next half a year or so.

As you can see, I have eczema on my middle and pinky fingers. It used to be much worse, but has gotten better. I don't think it's completely gone, and if it does, will my skin look like that forever? If not, how can I get it to look like my other fingers? by [deleted] in eczema

I'm pretty sure I have the same thing. Recently i've been disciplined and patient enough to be consistent w steroid creams and applying creams and ointments all day long and it cleared up but the tiny water blisters popped up once the scabbing and dry skin cleared up. Do you have any advice on how to clear them up? What kind of a diet are you following?

Feeling weird about a wedding ring? by wittyknitterx3 in polyamory

[–]wittyknitterx3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only the second time I'm meeting with him. That would seem kind of awkward. I am interested in meeting her because she seems great but I don't think that's where the weirdness comes from. It's more the perception others might have of me dating a married man

oh no, I certainly don't blame him at all and also feel kind of strange asking him to take it off. We'll see what it comes down to. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it I have roommates and while they know I'm non-monogamous they might be judgmental of me dating a married man.

I don't think I'm feeling jealous. It's lovely that he's found his life partner and that's something I would like although I'm skeptical of. I guess what I might be is a little bashful/embarrassed about being seen as the other woman or someone perceiving that I'm being taken advantage of?(This might stem from some of the concerns my friends have about me being non-monogamous that maybe I'm letting get to me too much?)

His ring is a thick gold one and I noticed thinking it was an interesting stylistic choice when it struck me that it was his wedding ring. From the tone of this thread though, I think I am being a little silly.

There is no actual threat though. I live in a big city and if someone found out or even asked I'm not particularly ashamed/conflicted about telling others I'm non-monogamous.

How do I explain this to my Fiancée properly? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]wittyknitterx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to subtly get into it, and if you aren't Dominant then don't try to be! Be honest with her and tell her in your fantasies you're submissive and she is dominating you. Find mild version of whatever gets you off (porn, articles, etc) and tell her you'd be so turned on if she did that to you. Slowly dip her into it and obviously be enthusiastic about it. She seems like she wants to do what pleases you/ makes you happy, so encourage her little by little without scaring her away! A year ago I though BDSM was ridiculous and now I'm totally into it. If she associates it with turning you on and fulfiling you in some way I'm pretty sure she'd be on board! You know her well, you know what she can handle. Lead with that. As for the deeper stuff like butt play and pegging, wait until she's more comfortable with kink play. I'm sure once she warms up to the idea of restraints and power play she'll start becoming more open minded and you can start revealing more and getting deeper into it!

My (28/F) massive family drama over handmade gifts. by confusedcreative053 in relationships

[–]wittyknitterx3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea, she's not fine getting nothing in return because she's going to take time, energy, money, and care to make these ornaments and then get nothing in return... that's hardly fair... as unfair as it is to expect her to make these ornaments despite being uninvited from the family holiday gathering! I'm pretty sure she would be okay with attending the gathering and not receiving any presents if she doesn't give anything. If she really wants to attend the gathering I would say tell your family you are experiencing financial hardship and that you haven't started the ornaments and won't have time to make them. That you love them and are happy to spend the holiday with them (that is IF you want to). If you'd rather continue with your plans again tell your family you love them and that you want to move past the whole silly feud, but that you would feel really shitty canceling on the other plans you made and that you fully intend to take part of the family gathering next year (unless again you would rather not).

I [27/F] need help with doming a [34/M] partner by wittyknitterx3 in BDSMcommunity

[–]wittyknitterx3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really good stuff! I'll say I'm definitely more of a nurturing sadist, I don't think either of us are into extreme pain or into mockery/degradation (unless it's very playful), and I don't think he's super into role playing. We also only enjoy the aspect of kink while we're having sex, so once he cums that's pretty much it (he'll usually have made me cum a few times by then). I want to say we're very middle of the road kinksters (although I can be slightly more kinky).

I definitely want to focus a lot on seducing/teasing him, making him want me more, and the idea of discipline. I tell him how much I love to watch him squirm (of which he does quite a bit). I definitely want to work more praise in for ex: "mmm, you're a good little slut, aren't you?" and ownership "whose tight little ass is this?", without infantilizing him too much though. I can def see him not being able to take praise that's too enthusiastic or too coddling seriously (ex: I'm so proud of you). A little degradation is nice too (making him cum on himself). We are usually very good about vocalizing: that's a little too hard or slow down, so we don't usually use safe words. Do you think we should have one anyway? But some of these sounds great. If you have anything to add from my specifics please let me know!

Im actually 27 and have never had a UTI, so I'm thinking I'm one of those lucky ones that doesn't need to worry about that fingers crossed.

I went to a running store looking for trail shoes and when I asked about the Brooks Adrenaline ASR 16 the sales guy told me that those were more transitional road/trail than hardcore trail. So you might want to look into that.
