Getting sick of people commenting on how 'skinny' I am. I am not unhealthy! by Lynda73 in TwoXChromosomes

I'm sorry you had those experiences. I guess what I'm trying to say is that BOTH types of harassment are wrong, but for some reason it is deemed more acceptable (or even wanted, when it's not) to comment about people of 'normal' weight that don't have any sort of eating disorder that you know them well enough to be concerned. But constantly telling someone that they need to gain weight when they are at their natural weight is just as bad as saying things to people that you think weigh too much.

I agree with everything you said. And, yes, I've quit eating the junk food lol. My body doesn't like it.

Haha, I like the way you think! Free food! As long as it's good lol. I do have a regular customer that brings me a chick-fil-et breakfast biscuit almost every morning. Funnily enough, he's one of the few that doesn't comment about my weight.

I also have a small bust (maybe a small B?) and I think that contributes to it. I didn't mention that twice in my life (once when I was pregnant) I got up to 180 lbs. I guess I hold the weight well because even at that weight, people would never guess I weighed that much. You know the worst I got? 'You've gained a little weight, haven't you?' I never was made to feel degraded or anything. Nothing like at my normal weight. A lot of the comments are sexist, too, which is probably why it bothers me so much. It's always the guys.

I guess that's the problem. For some reason, society thinks it's fine to sit there and go on about a woman's weight if she's skinny, but never if she's overweight because of course that's offensive. However, having been on the receiving end of the skinny comments, it's just as offensive! Unless someone is skinny to the point that it looks like they might have an actual eating disorder or something, I don't think it's anyone's business. Even if it's not said in a 'mean' way, I don't want to hear about it for 5 minutes!

Wow, so you probably get it even worse than me lol. Sometimes I've tried explaining that's just my weight, but for the most part I have been ignoring it. I know I'm eating what my body wants and everything, so I'll take your advice and just start ignoring them all!

Am I developing feelings for my fwb? by Wayment in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Lynda73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to keep it a FWB relationship, just keep reminding yourself that right now you're high on oxytocin (the 'bonding' hormone), and if you give it about two months, that will start to go away and you'll find it easier to become more detached. Still, the FWB thing isn't for everyone.

Just got the big baby beast... tastes like plastic? by tirruable in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got downvoted to hell last week for saying the beast series coils had a funky taste that didn't really go away until they had sat in juice overnight. :)

Of course, Pennywise, but also the brother on Salem's Lot that floats up to his little brother's window asking to be let in.

who else got their innokin mVP 4 100W? by yesnomaybeok in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine and i love it. I have been using mine every day. I vape a LOT on a .2ohm coil, and i get pretty much all day out of it. It charges pretty fast, too. I haven't tried TC mode, because i vape straight wattage.

Joyetech AIO always spitting? by Machshooter92 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you also tried a different coil? I always prime the coils with about 5 drops and don't have a problem. You may have a bad coil.

Is it the tube or box? For some reason, the tube one always spit at me, but the box didn't, even though they use the same coils.

Quitting using e cigs by babyvamp24 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're still smoking", "So when are you going to quit using that thing?" "You know those are worse/just as bad for you as cigarettes?"

I've heard it all. Just let it roll off your back. You know you are taking positive steps towards improving your health and YES you are a non-smoker now!

What flavors should you never mix? by -shino in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I get a lot of in the shop is customers saying, 'Try this!" Sometimes if I feel skeeved out, I'll decline, but sometimes I'll go ahead and put a tip on and try it. One time this guy was raving about how good this juice he made was, so I tried it. It was coffee and wintergreen. I still throw up in the back of my throat a little thinking about it.

Temporary use of non married batteries by icculus_prophet in electronic_cigarette

[–]Lynda73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it. With some of the newer mods, if it detects that one has drained a lot more than the other, it'll say something like check batteries and won't fire. Usually mine drain at about the same rate, tho. I did see this happen on an unmarried set where one battery was newer and the other one had seen quite a bit of use on a mech.
