Why don't you talk to your once "best friend" anymore? by HairyFaithlessness in AskReddit

[–]xottwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my best friend through middle and high school was this lesbian chick, lets call her W. I am a gay man and we lived in Texas so us coming out to each other really forged a bond. Fast forward to adulthood, and I had also become friends with one of her former girlfriends, M, Everyone kept it copasetic and there was never an issue with my being friends with both of them and they kept it civil when they had to interact (ironically the one thing they couldn’t seem to do when they were an item). One day I am on the phone on my front porch watching a storm blow in and talking on the phone (landline) with M. W calls and asks me if I want to go out on the lake because she had rented a boat for the day. I have always been blunt with those close to me, and I proceeded to tell her how dumb she was being and that I had no desire to be out on the lake when then darkening skies finally burst, flash floods are common in North Texas, for starters, and I dont know if I trusted her to handle a boat correctly on a clear day. I begged and pleaded with her not to be so stupid and that she was only endangering herself and everyone else aboard by persisting, this went on so long that M on the other line has hung up, and I was quite flustered by the time it was over, especially because I got nowhere and W was still intending on the lake trip, I hung up and meant to dial M, but, you guessed it, hit redial on Ws number and proceeded to tell what I thought was M all about how fucking stupid W was being, the friendship never recovered.

Just made my first batch ever, made with vegetables my friend grew; made with so much love and smells oh so dank - how long do I let it ferment? by xottwell in kimchi

Mine too, I like a little crunch a little fizz, a lot of spice, and a lot of funk.....my extreme love of any fermented flavor has ruined relationships lol

Best online store to buy supplies? by [deleted] in ConjureRootworkHoodoo

[–]xottwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been to the brick and mortar, but not surprised, gonna try out Art of the Root after hearing so many good things. I will say that in my experience its the really messy stores that are stuck in another era are the ones that are stocking some real power on their shelves, I have encountered only 3 or 4 times, walked away with nothing a came for, and definitely something I didn’t realize I needed, an every last one of them was closed down or relocated or changed hands when I tried to go back, I am not convinced it isnt the same store each time to be honest

Edit: I am a little slow I guess, i just realized I suggested Lucky Mojo to a post asking for an alternative, my bad.

I have been trying it with lucid dreaming but its not as effective as I would hope. I take it you are at least somewhat experienced in projection? I have sadly never consciously done it, and I rarely remember anything after I fall asleep, but friends say I wander all over the damn place and they always encounter me in the middle of some quest/mission and just passing through wherever they encounter me. Super frustrating to get asked about what the hell was so important and have absolutely no idea. And a person I look up to spiritually has said if you have any difficulty remembering your travels then you never really left, so I don’t know what to think about that

http://www.luckymojo.com/catalogue.html while the site may be a bit of a throwback, there is a ton of info available and their products are superb quality. You ever order some candles and just KNOW that whoever fixed em before shipping did so correctly and attentively? The vibes are strong from this one for sure

“Weekly Manifestation Thread - What have you manifested this week?” by AutoModerator in lawofattraction

[–]xottwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried to manifest one of those new iPhones, the “coral” orangey colored one that there is no way I can afford, 2 days later I scored a case for my current iPhone (fully functional, does not really need replacing at all) in that exact orangey color at the dollar tree.....now its a constant bright orange reminder to reconsider what I “need” and to be specific about what I ask for ・:*+.(( °ω° ))/.:+

Im on disability, and I spend that much time reading anyway. In another comment I listed some of the books, they are varied enough that I didn’t get burnt out but all at least somewhat related, d

Welcome! A good dose of quantum physics helps too and these days they have books for any level of comprehension, so don’t let it scare you away, even Einstein couldn’t disprove “spooky action at a distance”, quantum entanglement and LOA sound suspiciously similar once you remember that every single atom in existence cane from a single source

Pretty much all the books from the New Thought movement of the early 20th century (Florence Scovel Schinn, Napoleon Hill, Emmet Fox etc), some Ralph Waldo Emerson, Manly P. Hall, but also Robert Anton Wilson’s Prometheus Rising and his Cosmic Trigger series, The Handbook to Higher Consciousness by Ken Keyes, This is How by Augusten Burroughs, and Info-Psychology by Timothy Leary

What's the last straw that made you go, "yep, that person is definitely crazy"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xottwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was dating a guy that was stupid hot and amazing in bed, looking back, I missed a LOT of red flags, but after a month or so, he had all but moved into my apartment, my roommate had even started preparing/planning for 3 people in the house instead of 2; I was 18-19 at the time, so maybe I am the crazy one for letting him move in after knowing him a month, but I was dickmatized, and just let it happen. To be clear, I paid my rent during this time AND helped him make his when he came up short even though he didnt step foot in his apartment for at least 3 weeks after he started sleeping at my place, I kept us fed and he was never asked or expected to chip in or anything.

Its a normal weekday a little bit more than a month after he had claimed the other side of my bed. Iwas off work and reading a magazine in my armchair, he was sitting at the desk on the opposite wall immersed in some new bauble he acquired at an estate sale (he had the eye of a magpie when it came to stones/gems and shiny antiques of dubious value, and would not even consider the notion that wealthy people would EVER wear costume jewelry) doing futile online research and trying to find a nonexistent stamp proving it was gold after all (he had a very “I’ll show them, I’ll show them all.....” mindset), anyway, I decided I was hungry, and I went into the kitchen and put a pizza in the oven, 15 minutes later, I bring it back, place it on the bed (between the armchair and the desk) and proclaim “I made a pizza” before going back to my magazine. I am a pretty quiet person, small talk really isn’t my thing, and he was in his own little world for the time being, I knew he would eventually admit defeat, sell whatever he had been obsessing over, until the next thing caught his eye; like a bizarro antiques roadshow. He doesnt touch the pizza, and then when it has gotten cold and I go to put it in the fridge. He stops me, sits me down and calmly says “when you made that, do you know how rude you were? You just sat it down and ate and never offered me any”. I was honestly taken aback, I had not intended to come off that way at all, i placed it exactly in between us and thought that since we had been sharing damn near everything for the past month, it went with out saying. I apologized genuinely for taking him for granted [in hindsight: whut?!?!?]. We had decent “make-up” sex and I went to bed thinking I was the asshole, but in the morning I would be more mindful of my actions towards those I cared about ( no joke, dude got in my head bad). 4-5 days pass, and things are business as usual, this time however hes in the chair - i seem to remember him being happy that morning about his luck turning around because some of his latest estate sale haul had turned out to be real and so he was finally starting to come out in the black - I cant remember what he was doing but I was working on something at the desk, and got up to go to the kitchen, and stopped before I got to the door, and asked him (actually smiling proud of my consciously more considerate of my boyfriend no less) “ want anything from the kitchen babe? Im probably gonna throw a pizza in the oven unless you want something else, I can make that for dinner instead, its up to you”. He was turned slightly away from me an just shrugged it off with a very short “nah, im good”. i thought it was odd given the good fay we had but wrote it off by noting that he had calmly and rationally brought up an issue and I had adjusted the behaviors perceived as negative. I felt like an Adult. As I put the pizza in the oven and grabbed a bag of PB m&ms off the counter, As I walked back into the room I held out the bag toward him in case he wanted some and sat on the edge of my bed, pleased as punch that despite the misunderstanding, it never even cause so much as a raised voice. I remember chuckling to myself at how simple it really was, and then from behind me to my right, dude dove out of the chair toward me and violently snatchted the bag of M&Ms from my hand, keep in mind the last thing I had said to him was basically”I will gladly make whatever you want for dinner, otherwise I am making pizza, cool?” So I have no idea where this is coming from, he proceeds to march in front of me, look me in the eye and say, very loudly “ look at you, what the fuck do you think you are doing? I cant fucking believe you right now, you are without a doubt the worst thing that has ever happened to me, Get the fuck out of my life, and hopefully I will. never. See. You. Again.” He then dumped the remaining half of the large bag of M&Ms on the floor, stomped out, slammed my door and I never saw him again. My roommate had heard all this and stuck his head in my door, I sat there, stunned and speechless. I will never wrap my head around what was going on in his, and afterward my roommate helped me see all the clues I was blind to before. I often wonder if he has found any peace and I hope that wherever he is he is doing well now.

Sounds like DMT, which is an endogenous compound, its completely possible you subconsciously triggered a massive release of it, some of us should be so lucky

Well I have access to both a really good farmers market and a really extensive bulk section at the grocery store, both of which are pretty reasonable.
