Army Affair: Ch 2
2024.05.21 04:11 HannahAveryWrites Army Affair: Ch 2
Hey everyone! This is my 2nd post about my affair with Dustin, a 26 year old, married, captain on staff while I was a newly arrived 18 year old private at my first duty station.
I hope you enjoy Part 2, and as always, I'm welcome to receive any constructive feedback you may have about my writing or if you just want to talk! If you're just here to bash me for having an affair with someone, save your breath, I'll just block you. Without further ado, Part 2 of my affair with Dustin! <3 Hannah
First, a little about me. I'm 5'5ish, 135ish depending on the day, and have dark brown hair that falls part way down my back with brown eyes. My mom is a Crow (Native American) and my dad is Italian so the olive complexion genes are active in my family. I've got a fairly petite/athletic build with a 32B chest and a toned butt. My nipples are dark brown, on the smaller side, and I shave everywhere. I'm a fan of tattoos and have a feather on my foot, flower pieces on my right hip into my lower ribs, left shoulder, and lower back, a small script piece in my left side bra line, a green carebear in my left bikini line and a large dream catcher down my left ribs. If there's a detail I've left out, feel free to ask ;)
I sat alone in my barracks room the morning after my first in person experience with Dustin, the officer I'd met on Bumble who turned out to have a wife going to school out of state. I'd ignored any thought of walking away from this potentially messy situation and now found myself waking up alone in my room, the morning after letting a married officer cum all over my face and chest while i fingered myself to orgasm kneeling in front of him. I admitted two simple truths to myself: it had been the biggest rush of my life, and i absolutely needed more.
I checked my phone and saw 4 new messages from Dustin, all expounding on the fact he wished we didn't have to go to work today and how he wished I was there with him. As I got dressed for the daily workday routine of morning physical training, I snapped him a pic in just my maroon sports bra and black athletic thong and sent it to him, telling Dustin how I wished I could do PT in his home gym in just this. The buldge pic I got in return told me he liked the sound of that as I slipped back to reality, put on my PT uniform and joined my platoon for the usual Monday run. This was the rush. The dual life I craved and what drew me to Dustin. One minute I was sending sexy snaps to a man I shouldn't be with, living in the world of secret meetups and fun and the next, I was out joining my platoon for a normal daily routine workout. The world of the rush was addicting and I'd only just dipped my toes (mouth) in.
My day to day world of learning about fuel tankers, learning to drive them under NVGs, how to test fuel quality to ensure adequate grade for the type of unit I was supporting and all manner of tactical skills that would help me integrate into a complex military operation was genuinely rewarding and occupied my attention fairly easily. But then I'd find myself longing for a breakout. Longing for the rush of excitement I'd only just tasted. Each message from Dustin became a small dose of "you shouldn't but you will" and I wanted more.
Dustin had a busy schedule at the staff he worked on, but always took a moment to ask "how's my beautiful Private doing? Need anything from the Exchange?" We had had one intimate in person encounter and already this was taking on more than just a hookup from a dating app. We both recognized that actively developing a relationship behind the back of one partner's spouse automatically made this more than "just sex"....which we hadn't even had yet.
Between his work schedule and mine, we found it difficult to meet up the week following our evening of watching football with a side of a blowjob. Didn't stop me from letting him know I wanted more. I dropped all the hints. I sent him pics of choices of underwear for the day, letting him choose from a few options I was comfortable working in and then sending him quick snaps from the bathroom at work, proving his Private really wore what he'd asked her to. I also introduced him to a pink, 6 inch, anatomically correct dildo I typically used in the evening when I craved him desperately. I showed him that just like with his similarly sized shaft, I could force my lips to reach its base as the tip slid into the back of my throat. I also laid it on top of the underwear he had chosen for me one day, a simple pair of boyshorts that looked incredible with a pink phallis on top, illustrating just how far into my petite frame it/he would go if I would just slip them to the side and insert it/him.
I kept him wanting more. You can see my underwear, but only laid out on my bed, or on me, not tossed to the side showing you underneath. You can see my small collection of sex toys in my drawer or in my mouth, but the camera stops before they get to where they're the most fun. By Thursday, Dustin was desperate for the week to end so we could be together. He sent me a video of him teasing himself with pictures of me on his laptop and I thought it was the hottest thing ever to watch a man who definitively out ranked me choosing "his beautiful Private" over his wife. By Saturday we were going to go wild if we didn't take the next step.
There's different types of duty in the military, from a barracks desk to an installation watch office and every echelon in between. Saturday Dustin had duty for his brigade, which normally meant not a lot of time sitting at a desk, but a lot of time going around inspecting important places in his unit and making reports of what he found. I couldn't wait any longer and neither could he. I told him he should just add me to his list of inspections and quickly have his way with me during his rounds. Not the fairy tale special first time but the raw, I need you now and I'm tired of waiting, that two deprived lovers seek.
He agreed and said he would have time to "run home for dinner" if I would be ready and waiting for him. Ready and waiting in your bed. Quicky to satisfy this urge and let me plan something more while I wait. Yes. Dustin agreed to leave his side door unlocked so I could let myself in while he was at work. Apparently despite our lack of intimacy, our constant stream of communication built a trust that I wouldn't rob him blind lol seriously though, I respected his trust and didn't take an opportunity to go through all his stuff or leave a letter for his wife or anything crazy in between.
Instead, I drove over in late afternoon in a pair of black Nike soccer shorts with a built-in liner, so I went sans underwear, and continued the trend with a pink tshirt and matching hoodie without a bra, letting my small, 32B chest bounce a little as I let myself in, walked past the couch I'd kneeled in front of to receive a facial at the previous weekend and made my way towards Dustin's bedroom upstairs. I found aa spacious king bed that occupied the majority of the fairly small room in military housing, leaving a small walk way on either side, wide enough for matching his and hers nightstands on either side of the bed and space at the end of the bed where the room flowed into the master bathroom sweat complete with walk in closet, linen closet and 2 sink bathroom with a nice deep tub.
I set my purse down on what was clearly his wife's nightstand and quickly stopped out of my comfy clothes I'd worn to my visit. I plopped down naked in his bed, with a condom and lube laid out on her nightstand next to my purse. I sent Dustin a nude selfie of me on his wife's side of the bed, with a caption letting him know I was ready for our quicky. A quick reply let me know I had 15 minutes. I was immediately slick with anticipation. I set a pillow in the center of the bed and scooted my butt towards the edge of the bed as I spread my legs wide and began to tease light circles around my clit as I began to tease myself in preparation for the quick coupling that was minutes away. As my breath quickened and my heart raced, I dabbed a small glob of lube onto two of my fingers and I slowly stretched myself, my inner walls relaxing to recieve one, two, three fingers as I continued to rub my clit, my body as desperate to be with Dustin as my heart was.
A rattling of keys in the front door let me know my time was up as I removed the 3 fingers currently satiating the desperate urges of my core. Racing footsteps up the stairs found Dustin at the door in seconds, with his beautiful Private spread eagle on the edge of the bed waiting for him. I looked up at him in his uniform, totally unashamed of my nude and vulnerable position and told him his Private was ready for his inspection.
In a flash his camo jacket was tossed aside, the brown undershirt following behind and he rushed to undo his belt and soon had his pants and briefs around his ankles. In a moment he was leaning down on top of me, hungrily kissing my lips as his firm shaft pressed against my core as I pulled him into a tight embrace between my wide spread legs. As we passionately kissed, our tongues breathlessly intertwined, I paused and asked him if he wanted the condom off his wife's nightstand. I reminded him I was on the shot for BC, but it was his choice either way.
He pulled away to look over at her nightstand and instead of grabbing the condom, took the lube and generously applied a coat to his entire six or seven inch length. I needed him now. Standing between my legs, which I held wide open for him with my butt to the edge of the bed, Dustin teased the tip of his firm shaft between the lips of my freshly shaved vagina. He ran the tip between my spread lower lips, from my clit to my soaking wet and lubed entrance. With only a moments pause with his tip aligned with my eager hole, Dustin firmly pushed his entire length into me as he moaned my name and my soft inner walls welcomed him deep inside me as I gasped at the feeling of sudden fullness and a desperate need for more.
Buried to the base of his shaft inside me, Dustin leaned down to kiss me passionately. I wrapped my legs behind his butt, pulling him deep inside me as he began to thrust in a steady deep rhythm that drove me to the edge. I breathless begged for him to fuck me as I scratched lines down his back with my nails as I desperately held my man between my legs, his thrusts stimulating every inch of my inner walls and the friction of our bodies urging my clit to find release. Dustin broke our embrace and soon I found myself with two strong hands holding my legs open wide nearly in the splits on the edge of the bed as he thrust into me deeper than I'd ever felt before. I was breathless, calling out for more. Please don't stop Dustin. Please don't stop as his pace quickened and I could feel his balls slapping against nearly my butthole as he pounded into me, using my vagina for his release. I took one hand and found my clit, matching my rhythm to his and I soon found the waves of release that had building to the edge as Dustin gave me more, more, more. My inner walls clenched tight as the dam broke and my orgasm shook through my body in a release of ecstasy. Dustin continued to fuck me through my own release, my body desperate for him to find his own release.
I looked up at the passion and hunger in his eyes as I became keenly aware of the bouncing of my small breasts as I laid there riding the wave of my massive orgasm moaning in pleasure as the stimulation deepend, quickened and in a moment, I could feel Dustin swell and find his release deep inside me, ropes of cum filling me as my body clinched around him, holding him inside me as a second wave of pleasure pulsed through my core. We laid there for a long moment, a tight sweaty embrace with my handsome man on top of me, showering my neck and lips in kisses as we both breathlessly came down from our collective orgasms.
Dustin stood up, his softening length sliding out of me along with a mix of his cum and lube and my own release. I stood up and followed him to the bathroom, me completely naked, with his uniform pants pulled half way back up. I took hot washcloths and cleaned both of us between our legs, getting him ready to go back to work and for me to clean the mix of cum and lubed that was now running down my inner thigh. I asked him if I'd passed his inspection and he laughed, smiling and kissing me saying that indeed I had. He told me I could spend the night here if I wanted, he had to get back to duty but his place was a little more awesome than my barracks room.
I agreed and put back on my Nike shorts and tshift with it fairly obvious that I wasn't wearing a bra, which admittedly wasn't really an issue for Dustin at all. I followed him downstairs and kissed him goodnight as he headed back to work. I made myself at home and made a simple dinner and fell asleep watching tv under a blanket in his living room, which is where he found me when he came home at the end of his shift in the morning. I followed him to bed and we spent most of the day napping in eachothers arms before it really was time for me to go home and get ready for the next work week. I continued to tease him on snap and told him that we had sooooo much more still to do and his response made it readily apparent that he agreed.

 | I have been planning this trip for years and finally it happened! I have to say I overpacked but also learned a lot. This is what I packed (and what I should have brought). I took my Fairview 40 on this trip. Svalbard is in the arctic but this week was pretty mild weather hovering around -3 to 3 degrees celsius. submitted by No_Expert_7590 to HerOneBag [link] [comments] What I brought - things I didn't use are crossed out Things

2024.05.09 21:56 bookaccro I like the Russian and other thoughts from a first timer
Still on my first watch! I have many thoughts.
I know its still early days but AlekSANDER just seems so natural and when he ran after the cab for her purse, it was over for me. The age thing is the only con but sometimes that works!
Charlotte and Harry - dream team. No worries from me.
Miranda and Steve - this makes sense to me and they’ve got a kid together but really enjoyed her with Robert
Sam and Smith - I prefer her with cheating guy whose name I can’t remember (but I 100% agree with her decision, shame he cheated) but I love the way Smith looks at her.
My heart sinks every time I see “guest starring Chris Noth”
Berger - what a nightmare.
Miranda really does get the worst story lines, Also haha I really dislike Carrie’s puns and one liners.

2024.05.03 04:03 GroovyYaYa Smart watch/fitness trackers with period tracker apps
Looking for advice from people who period - Fitbit messed up my cycle tracking (an update or something totally glitched - changed dates and lengthened the time. All the data was corrupt). I didn't fix it at the time or bothered tracking it much on paper because (a) there was that discussion about how that data could be used by anti-choice asshats and (b) I was pretty regular and could always tell when it was time to throw a panty liner on and put tampons in my purse.
Well, now I'm trying to get healthier and am considering either trying to save my old Fitbit or going whole hog fancy and get a Samsung smart watch (I'm a Samsung Galaxy user). I also need to start marking stuff on the calendar (if not use a tracker) because it is either the Wegovy I'm on or I'm starting menopause (or both!)
So... is it still a thing to not track our periods online in solidarity with those who live in red states? My state is solidly blue, but if it is a thing to not use it either still for my safety OR in solidarity, I'll figure out a calendar thing on paper... or if my 52 year old ass can skew statistics, etc. to make it harder for the asshats, I'll do it.
Anyone here use Fitbit or Samsung Health to track your periods and other health stuff?

2024.04.29 13:25 MmeColbert Unpopular opinion: I believe Erika is a good cast member
I loved her at the beginning. She was (Edit: replaced Garden with) guarded and smart. Knew when to fight. She was messy enough to add inoucuous drama. Didn't like LVP but was smart enough to be upfront and this gave soft confrontation. S10: I hated the fake character. Heinous, agressive and mean. The fake " I am falling apart persona" while being mean was an armour but still, humility would have served her better because she would not have needed to say much for legal reasons, which I guess, is the reason why she impersonated that weird victim character. Badly advised? Probably or simply clumsy?
Moving forward s12, she tries to get her independence back and to be friends with Garcelle and Sutton, this is going back and forth but it feels she wants to but something is holding her back. I really like the vibes she brings when she is on a good mood, and her complicity with Garcelle seems genuine. Even with Sutton, at times. Merce is in the purse is a nugget that is fantastic but there are many liners she serves that make me laugh. She can be witty and is, indeed, one of the most knowledgeable and well travelled of the cast. I have good hope for her development on the show. Don't kill me with your words pls and forgive my english (3rd language 🫣)

2024.04.23 01:55 Glum-Appeal1157 Shopping List for Upcoming Surgery
Hi all, I made quite a "why me" emotional post last week, reacting to my upcoming surgery (EUA followed by either fistulotomy or seton placement). I'm still dreading it, but I'm at least past the crying phase and on to planning for it.
I've informed my workplace that I'll need the day of my surgery off, and my next shift won't be for another four days after that. My job is relatively active (I work at a library – crouching, bending, kneeling, etc. are all part of the deal) but from what I've heard of these procedures, I think I'll be able to do that? I can always take it slow and take lots of breaks. I'm more worried about inevitably having to use the bathroom at work, and whether I'll be able to properly clean myself. It's not like I can go home to shower afterward. But I don't want to potentially jeapordize my healing (and my own comfort and cleanliness) by not taking proper care. How do you handle cleaning up when you're out and about?
Meanwhile, I'm getting a list together of things I should have in the house and in my purse to be prepared for what comes after surgery. Here's my list so far, based on other posts on this subreddit and my surgeon's pre-surgery guide:

Wanted to share my recent foray into one(ish) bag packing, and hope people find this useful — open to any feedback! submitted by comicsansheriff to HerOneBag [link] [comments] I took the train to Chicago (7 days), flew to Fort Worth (10 days), then flew back — I wanted to challenge myself in packing 1.5 bags at least for carry-on only, if not a true one bag. I was staying with friends and family, so I had access to laundry and didn't have to pack some heavier things like towels. Notes:

Reviews🔗Handcrafted German Boker Mini Trapper Folding Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/zm26fbv9vmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=233f399ef7e05cdd432d368d1e0e6e6cdcb0e1a8 I've been carrying the Boker Stubby Strike Mini Trapper folding knife in my daily life, and I must say it's truly a marvelous piece. Handcrafted in Germany, it boasts a beautiful brown jigged bone finish that adds a touch of elegance to its practicality. One of the most striking features of this knife is its high carbon stainless steel blade. It's perfect for everyday tasks like opening letters or cutting through rope. The nickel silver bolsters and brass linings add a touch of luxury while also contributing to the lasting durability of the knife. However, the Mini Trapper does have a fairly small pocket size, which might not be ideal for those with larger hands or who prefer a more substantial grip. Additionally, given its handcrafted nature, it comes with a slightly higher price point than other folding knives in the market. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Boker Stubby Strike Mini Trapper has become a reliable and stylish companion in my everyday life. Its artisanal craftsmanship and superior quality have made it a worthy investment, and I'm confident that it will continue to serve me well in the years to come. 🔗Boker Traditional Series Jigged Red Bone Razor Jack - High Carbon Steel Pocket Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/y69s326avmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d71fc1b4b7e9e21489fbc7b5c66a37a89526a8d For gentlemen who appreciate the classic and functional, the Boker Traditional Series Jigged Red Bone Razor Jack is an exceptional addition to their collection. With its traditional design, this pocket knife is a perfect companion for both everyday tasks and outdoor adventures. The high carbon stainless steel blades provide durability while the brass linings and nickel silver bolsters give it a sleek and polished look.

The blade length and thickness provide the right balance for both performance and portability, making it a reliable tool for any situation.

With its mirror-polished high carbon stainless steel blades, I could easily tackle a variety of tasks. The smooth bone handles added a unique touch of elegance. One aspect that stood out was the "Tree Brand" logo etched onto the main blade, adding a personal touch that I appreciated. However, there were a few drawbacks as well - the knife was slightly heavy at 3 ounces, and its 4-inch closed dimension made it less portable than I would have liked. Overall, the Boker 110713 Stockman Purple provided a satisfying blend of form and function, making it a great choice for those who value both design and performance. 🔗Stylish Boker Jigged Brown Bone Razor Jack Pocket Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/w3g4j49bvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e0b96183446257513ae9e16fe68bd3f06cc392e I recently had the chance to try out the Boker Traditional Jigged Brown Bone Razor Jack, and I have to say, it was impressive. The first thing that caught my eye was its classic design and construction. It features nickel silver bolsters, brass linings, and high carbon stainless steel blades - a perfect combination. The jigged brown bone handle scales gave it an added touch of elegance and made it comfortable to hold. However, one thing to note is that it requires two hands to open and close, which might not be ideal for some users. Using this pocket knife was a delight. It slid smoothly in and out of my pocket, and the stainless steel blade offered a sharp edge. The edge locking mechanism worked as advertised, and I appreciated the added safety feature. Overall, the Boker Traditional Jigged Brown Bone Razor Jack is a well-made, stylish pocket knife that is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of class to their everyday carry. 🔗Boker Abalone Mini Strike Knife - French Point, Extra-Hollow Grind, 4/8" Blade Lengthhttps://preview.redd.it/4sbaq3wbvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91ca613b381537dc81f75388a4e220ec6148b37e The Boker Abalone Mini 4/8 is a stunning addition to any knife lover's collection. Crafted from the finest Solingen blade steel, this mini-sized gem is ground extra-hollow and features a French point blade shape with serrations on both sides. What sets it apart is its unique and exquisite abalone material. Owners adore the way it looks and how it catches the light, making it a true conversation starter. However, its miniature size means it might not have enough heft for heavy-duty tasks. The Boker Abalone Mini 4/8 is a delightful combination of beauty and functionality, making it a standout in its category. 🔗Stylish Boker Plus Trapper Lockback Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/im9vsp7cvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=716538d74eab4b520eed7b22ff1cdbaabacbefe8 As someone who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors, I've found the Boker Plus double lock Trapper to be an invaluable addition to my gear. The knife's sturdy construction and versatile blade shape have proven to be incredibly useful in a variety of situations. One of the most notable features of this Trapper is its lockback mechanism, which offers a secure and reliable solution for keeping the knife closed when not in use. The lockback system is both easy to operate and provides a strong hold, ensuring that the blade remains firmly in place even during more strenuous tasks. While the knife's overall design is quite impressive, there were a few minor flaws that I encountered. One issue I faced was the blade's tendency to fold and pinch my fingers on occasion, which was both uncomfortable and a potential safety concern. Additionally, the high-carbon 440C stainless steel used in the blades can be a bit tricky to sharpen and maintain when compared to more traditional materials. Despite these drawbacks, the Boker Plus double lock Trapper remains an exceptional choice for those seeking a rugged and reliable field-dressing knife. Its combination of durability, versatility, and innovative lockback system make it a standout option for both seasoned outdoorsmen and those just starting their outdoor adventures. 🔗Boker Purple Bone Trapper Folding Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/c5b97ihcvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3c32b8e4b9c9501edc101a3f260e17703994e1c The Boker Mermaid Purple Trapper is a stunning piece of craftsmanship that has instantly become a staple in my daily life. Its rich purple smooth bone handles with brass liners, pins, and bolsters not only boast an exquisite appearance but also provide a comfortable grip for any task at hand. The mirror polished high carbon stainless steel blades effortlessly slide open and close, showcasing the intricate etchings of the "Tree Brand" logo. One of the standout features of this knife is its compact size, measuring at just 4.12 inches when closed, making it a convenient and portable companion for any adventure. Despite its compact design, it packs quite the punch when it comes to weight, tipping the scales at a mighty 3.8oz. While using the Boker Mermaid Purple Trapper, I found the clip point and spey blades to be incredibly sharp and useful for various cutting tasks. The nail nicks provide an added bonus, ensuring that the knife is versatile enough to tackle even the toughest of materials. However, there's a slight downside to this knife - its size. While it's perfect for day-to-day use, it falls short when it comes to larger tasks that require a bit more heft. Despite this minor drawback, the Boker Mermaid Purple Trapper more than makes up for it with its stunning appearance and top-notch performance. Overall, it's a must-have for anyone who appreciates quality, style, and practicality in a folding knife. 🔗Mermaid's Color-Changing Fashion Doll: Shellnelle's Riviera Adventurehttps://preview.redd.it/xu26qy7dvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdb7a7ae8c84d62483423d813d926c874a456704 When I first encountered the Mermaze Mermaidz Color Change Mermaid Fashion Doll - Riviera, I was immediately drawn to its colorful and unique design. The packaging is eye-catching and the doll comes with a variety of accessories that really add to the overall experience. Once I opened the box, I quickly realized that this doll has quite a few features that make it stand out from other mermaid toys on the market. One of the most striking aspects of this doll is its color-changing tail. When exposed to warm water, the tail changes from teal blue to a metallic finish, creating a truly mesmerizing display. Additionally, Riviera can easily be displayed on her own as she has an articulated tail that doubles as a stand. This feature was really convenient for me when I wanted to showcase the doll on my desk or in my room. However, there were a few cons to this product that I noticed during my experience. Firstly, the instructions provided with the doll were in multiple languages, which made it slightly confusing to understand and caused delays in figuring out its usage. Secondly, the doll is not battery-operated, which means some features could have been enhanced to create a more immersive experience. Despite these minor drawbacks, I found the Mermaize Mermaidz Color Change Mermaid Fashion Doll - Riviera to be an enjoyable addition to my collection of mermaid toys. Its unique color-changing tail and accessory set definitely warrant a recommendation for fans of mermaids or those who are looking for a fun new toy to add to their collection. 🔗Mermaidz Color Change Kishiko Fashion Doll with Unique Tail and Glass Eyeshttps://preview.redd.it/gqlplrbdvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df9a6965f8873b7fd64c4e0f38917ca619b80631 KISHIKO, the adorable mermaid fashion doll, brings joy and excitement to both kids and adults alike. With her beautiful pink and purple hair styled in French braids and a kawaii unicorn horn bun, she stands out with her sparkling eyes and long eyelashes. KISHIKO's make-up is a delightful surprise, with little stars adding a touch of magic. The doll comes with a set of clothes, accessories, and a color-changing tail, all included in the package. KISHIKO's tail, intricately designed with detailed patterns, adds a unique touch to her appearance. When she enters the water, she undergoes a transformation, showcasing her color-changing abilities. Her articulation points at the waist and tail provide flexibility, allowing her to stand on her own. KISHIKO is perfect for bathtime play and creates a fun and enjoyable experience for children and their families. Though some users have faced issues with the color-changing tail, overall, KISHIKO is a beautiful and unique addition to any mermaid collection. 🔗Magical Transforming Coral Mermaid Dollhttps://preview.redd.it/wp0vywndvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4584caa045f4b2d489624b8d2071fa5d0e12041 Recently, I got a chance to play with the Adora Mermaid Magic Coral Doll, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the ultra-soft mermaid plush body with a light skin tone and vibrant brown hair. It felt like a warm hug to hold. The doll wears an iridescent purple top that perfectly matches her fin, adding a touch of magic to her appearance. One of the coolest features of this mermaid is the magic surprise - watch as her tail transforms in warm water! It's like witnessing magic right before your eyes. Although the color change is not as bright as shown on the packaging, it still adds a charming touch to her personality. As a collector, I appreciate the fact that this Mermaid Magic Doll can be part of a larger collection of Coral, Aqua, and Ariel. It's always fun to have different dolls to play with and create fantastical underwater adventures. Overall, the Adora Mermaid Magic Coral Doll is a great choice for kids who love imaginative play and have a fascination for mermaids. However, it's essential to note that the color-changing effect is not as vibrant as described in the product's highlights. Nevertheless, it still adds a touch of enchantment to the mermaid's character, and it's a perfect size for little hands to hold and play with. 🔗Mermaze Mermaidz Color-Changing Fashion Doll with Accessorieshttps://preview.redd.it/lx6nzr2evmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0de99b1834aa97b461da6be2f901f010b7d24bc I recently fell in love with the Mermaze Mermaidz Color Change Fashion Doll Harmonique. This little mermaid with a tail that changes colors at the touch of warm water is quite a sight to behold. The attention to detail on her face, featuring beautiful, premium light pink hair styled in a bubble ponytail with two loose curly fuchsia tendrils, is impressive. However, the doll's hair seemed to change once we tried it in water too, which was a little disappointing. The Mermaize Mermaidz doll comes with a plethora of accessories including a headset, metallic harness belt, tote bag, choker necklace, and earrings. Dressing and undressing her little accessories also posed a challenge. I had to be careful not to lose her hands while changing her outfit and accessories. The doll's tail fin can double as a stand when bent 90 degrees, which allows her to stand independently, which I thought was a thoughtful touch by the designers. But, it wasn't perfect. The tail fin would start to flop around and fall off easily if we left it in the water for too long. Overall, I found the doll to be an interesting and unique plaything. Its color change feature is quite captivating for young children. However, the doll's hair changing unexpectedly while playing in water and the floppy tail fin are minor annoyances. It would be great if they could improve the durability of the tail and the stability of the fin while submerging it in water. But, with some patience and careful handling, my daughter has been enjoying playing with her Mermaize Mermaidz doll. 🔗Lime Green Boker Tree Brand Folding Razor Jackhttps://preview.redd.it/0onhrmdevmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbf2bb1089a7ddaa1049ca206c8af4c88cead4f5 I recently had the chance to try out the Boker Razor Jack Lime Green, and I must say, it's a pretty nifty little knife. The first thing that struck me was its vibrant lime green smooth bone handle – not something you see every day! The handles were comfortable to grip, even with my big hands, and the brass liners, nickel silver pins and bolsters gave it a classic and sturdy look. The mirror polished high carbon stainless steel blade was extremely sharp, and I appreciated the bottle opener with nail nicks. However, I did find it a bit difficult to open bottles with it, so that might be something to consider. The "Tree Brand" logo etched into the blade was a nice touch, adding a bit of personality to the knife. The overall design of the Boker Razor Jack Lime Green is sleek and stylish, making it a great addition to any camping or outdoor adventure. But be warned – it might be a little too flashy for everyday use in the office! All in all, this Boker knife has won a place in my heart and my collection. 🔗My Magical Mermaid Playset: Illuminate Your Underwater Adventurehttps://preview.redd.it/xmvbr4tevmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=198e6daf2d4b5319bed372d7931a88f3c99225c3 When I first unboxed the My Magical Mermaid Playset, I couldn't help but fall in love with the charming underwater world that's created by the beautifully lit LED base. The magical mermaid, Marina, and her adorable Magic Wand made this playset a unique and delightful addition to our toy collection. However, I soon discovered that there were a few issues that affected my overall experience with the product. Firstly, the mermaid's movement function could be quite tricky to master, and sometimes she would drop down to the bottom of the tank and not swim as expected. Secondly, the tank's walls didn't seem sturdy enough to me, and I had a nagging fear that it might leak or crack over time. Despite these drawbacks, the My Magical Mermaid Playset remains a whimsical and fun addition to our home. My children were enthralled by the mermaid's color-changing light show, and the playset easily becomes an engaging conversation piece for family and friends. I am hopeful that the manufacturer can address these concerns in future iterations of the product, so others can enjoy the underwater magic without any worries. 🔗Spring Break Mermaid Doll with Color Change Hair Streakshttps://preview.redd.it/6to9zd9fvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62881bff1d1bd94ba311631dfd51515b66b3a983 Imagine walking down the beach on a sunny day, and suddenly, a splash of color catches your eye. It's Mermaid High Spring Break Finly doll, the latest addition to the Mermaid High gang. With her vibrant outfit and color-changing hair streaks, Finly is a mermaid who can transform into a teenage human. She's full of surprises, from the removable fabric tail that changes into a human outfit to her hidden clamshell accessory, which you can open by submerging it in water. Finly's long, soft hair is a delight to play with, and her articulated knees allow her to sit upright. She comes with a variety of accessories, including a purse, sunglasses, and shoes. The doll has a unique charm, and kids can't help but fall in love with her. Despite her delightful features, Finly does have some drawbacks. The packaging can be quite tricky to open, and kids may need an adult's help. Additionally, the shorts provided with the doll are quite tight, which can make dressing her up a bit of a challenge. Overall, Mermaid High Spring Break Finly doll is a fun and unique addition to any child's toy collection. She's perfect for a day at the beach or a playful evening at home. With her eye-catching design and transformative capabilities, Finly is sure to become a favorite among kids and parents alike. 🔗Stylish Dark Stonewash Magnum Balicomb Combo by Bokerhttps://preview.redd.it/j76vr9pfvmuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a4bbfdf8f51b70f39945a3a7f62bd6af426be18 I recently came across the Boker Magnum Balicomb in a striking grey finish, and I must say, it caught my eye instantly. What stood out right away was the unique design that seamlessly combined a balisong and a balisong comb. Made of stainless steel, the dark stonewash finish added a tactile quality to the experience of using it. However, I encountered a couple of issues – the fit and finish was not great, and the comb itself was quite uneven. Additionally, I noticed that the screws were very soft and easily stripped, which was quite disappointing. Overall, the Magnum Balicomb has potential, but it needs some improvements to truly shine.

2024.04.07 17:55 seventennorth Dress Rehearsal Report: Kristen Wiig/RAYE [4/6/24]
![Dress Rehearsal Report: Kristen Wiig/RAYE [4/6/24]](https://external-preview.redd.it/uSgLcylSVw4xunnAcV2txb-ZSYJFAxcCf1NyEi_IpDk.jpg?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ffff9c3fa2fd6a0d7946a27aeff59661577d4b21 "Dress Rehearsal Report: Kristen Wiig/RAYE [4/6/24]") | Ah, I haven't written one of these in half a year... thank you to my friends Jessica and u/shayneysides for their valuable help with this report! submitted by seventennorth to LiveFromNewYork [link] [comments] SECTION 1: CUT SKETCHESAll quoted dialogue is approximate, I do not have an eidetic memory. Also, I interchangeably use cast and character names because not every character is named, and I try to defer to in-sketch pronouns.NEWS ANCHORS INT. A MORNING NEWSROOM: Wiig & Squirm are two news anchors who chirpily introduce the top of the show with some small talk, mentioning that their husbands were off on a camping trip together, so they "went to Buccacino's and had a few drinks" the previous night. Then Wiig starts to read the first news story—"Two insane women are wanted for drunk and disorderly behavior last night"—and she starts stuttering, while Squirm looks similarly dismayed next to her. Halfway through the sentence "The women were spotted leaving a Bucca—" Wiig decides to stop reading the story, and throws it over to JAJ at the sports desk. JAJ: "So that story is about you guys, right?" Wiig: "Just read us the sports news!" JAJ proceeds to read a story about two insane topless women who disrupted a basketball game last night; apparently, they were shouting about "being depressed because their husbands were obviously doing a Brokeback together." Frazzled, Wiig then throws it to Longfellow, a reporter on the ground at a crime scene. Longfellow is interviewing his witness, Kearney; they discuss the harrowing scene in front of a broken-in tattoo parlor. Kearney: "Honestly, these women should just turn themselves in because they need to seek medical attention. The DIY nipple piercings they performed on each other were done with infected needles!" Cut back to a horrified Squirm, who opens her blazer to reveal bloodied nipple stains on her white blouse. Kearney adds: “And their BAC was so high they melted the breathalyzer! (Close-up on a melted breathalyzer prop.) Longfellow then continues that these women (now dubbed the "Long-Breasted Lunatics") were also ranting about having had a threeway with "an emo Jimmy Buffett-looking fellow." Wiig: "Emo Jimmy Buffett? What the hell does that look like?" Cut to the weatherman, Kenan Thompson dressed up as an emo Jimmy Buffett. Wiig: "No... no, we didn't..." Thompson: "Oh, yes we did." PLEASE DON'T DESTROY: GRINKY [pretape] INT. PDD WRITER'S ROOM: Wiig enters, says she's excited to see whatever sketches PDD has for her, then adds, "But before we start, let me just get some stuff out my purse first." She pulls out a little thing called a Grinky. He is CGI, six inches tall, kind of has a wide, squishy, orange, bug-eyed alien face and then Kevin James proportions—big suit jacket and jeans and sneakers. PDD are aghast. "What the hell is that?" Wiig: "What? It's just a Grinky. I found it in my garden and put it in my purse. It's not a big deal." Weirded out, PDD continue to try and pitch sketches; Marshall suggests one called "The Confident Farter," and Wiig giggles and seems to like it, but then she glances askance at the Grinky, who makes a throat-cutting motion; she looks down at her lap, and quietly says, "No, I don't like that one..." Grinky also elaborates that he's not called Grinky, he's just a Grinky; his name is actually Jeff. Jeff the Grinky starts to pitch his own sketches, including one where he does a little dance and ends with the "catchphrase," "Can't get mad at that!" Marshall: "That's not funny at all." Jeff: "You can be in it." Marshall: "Let's pitch it!" Same thing happens with Herlihy Jr. Still aghast, Higgins Jr. declares that SNL will "never, ever let Grinky onto the show," and then we Gilligan cut to Jost on Weekend Update, howling in laughter at the Grinky doing his little dance and catchphrase on the Update desk. FIG. 1: shayneysides’s artistic rendition of Grinky. FUNERAL SONG INT. A FUNERAL HOME: Wiig is a widow giving a speech at her late husband's funeral; his casket sits next to her podium. She announces that his last wish was to play his favorite song, and that the funeral attendees would sit quietly in contemplation. Wiig sits a bright red Beats pill on the podium and an upbeat, jazzy tune comes out. The audience—I think Day, Yang, Hernandez, Nwodim, and Longfellow—all get up-close pans to their confused faces. Slowly, everyone starts to shimmy to the catchy song in their seats, although Wiig snaps that it's not respectful to be dancing to it and her husband even specifically requested "no dancing." Kearney pops in, saying that they’re from the funeral next door, and asks them to turn the distracting music down. One by one, the funeral attendees come up to the casket and pay their respects while the song is still playing. Longfellow, the son, gives an awkward eulogy; Hernandez starts to subtly dance when it's his turn, before Wiig yells at him and he dashes off; while leaning over the casket, Day accidentally drops his glasses and has to awkwardly fish around the corpse to retrieve them, only to end up with different ones from what he had. Finally, everyone in the room is dancing to the song, and the husband—revealed to be Thompson—sits up in his casket and goes "Ha! Gotcha! I was alive all along!" The sketch ends with Punkie popping in and saying, “Hey, I’m from the funeral next door, but this time we want you to turn the music up!” Subjective note: structurally, this sketch was not the worst thing in the world, but it played very badly because the song in question was just... more or less inoffensive? It sounded like something the SNL house band would play in between sketches—no vocals, not super catchy or super off-putting—so that factors into the sketch's muted reception. AMTRAK OVERSHARER INT. A TRAIN CAR: Thompson enters, politely informs Wiig that she is sitting in his assigned seat; she goes, "Oh, thanks for letting me know," and keeps sitting there. Put-off, Thompson just sits next to her. Wiig gets a call (Nwodim's voice is on the other line) with her "OBGYN test results"; Thompson gets up and says, "Oh, I'll let you have some privacy," but Wiig pushes him down and says, "It's fine." Wiig keeps it on speaker as Nwodim starts to reveal some gross personal information. I don't remember most of the jokes, but they're in the vein of Wiig oversharing and also doing some Amelia Bedelia-style misunderstandings, ex. Nwodim goes "Have you had any discharge?" Wiig answers "Yes, dishonorable." A deeply uncomfortable Thompson keeps trying to escape during this, but Walker (playing a train worker) keeps thwarting him. There's also a funny little fourth-wall break at the end of this: Thompson goes, "Eff this, I'm out," and as he's storming off the train, Walker calls after him, "You can't leave the sketch, man!" as we watch the camera pan out and reveal the set. Note: this is probably a sequel to CAB DRIVER from the earlier Jason Momoa/Tate McRae episode. CATCHING FIRE BOOK CLUB I actually summarized this in my Molly Shannon/Jonas Brothers report a whole year ago when they first tried this sketch. I'll just copy and paste what I wrote back then: shannon’s character is leading a book club for the hunger games: catching fire in a living room set; various cast members playing suburban housewives are flanking her on white couches, like nwodim, squirm, kearney, etc (there’s a fourth but i forget who, probably fineman?). nwodim says she brought crackers as a snack, and shannon flips her shit and says she doesn’t want any snacks with crumbs at the book club, she only wants “non-particle snacks” like jello and yogurt; this is because she’s been dealing with an ant problem. as they begin reading, squirm bites into a cracker and drops some crumbs on the floor, and shannon groans and says, alright, here come the ants. the camera cuts to a blown-up shot of yang—physically situated in a greenscreen set on the main monologue stage—costumed as an ant and giggling on the carpet. he starts to cause general havoc in the book club, like spoiling the book (“the quarter quell arena is shaped like a CLOCK!”), climbing up squirm’s hair, or pushing things down from the shelves, like family photos or an urn filled with shannon’s assistant’s ashes. shannon says she’s going to call the exterminator, but ant yang giggles and says, “good luck! i cut his brakes.” we hear the sfx of tires squealing and a crash, before dismukes in an exterminator uniform stumbles into the room, coughing up blood before he collapses dead on the carpet. finally, fed up, shannon pulls out a tiny gun and fires three shots at ant yang. ant yang matrix-dodges them easily and then laughs and taunts shannon, “you’ve got one bullet left; better make it count!” she inhales, steels herself, and then hits yang with the last shot. prostrate, ant yang asks, with his dying breath, “what happens in the last book?” shannon: “prim dies.” yang: “who killed her? was it president snow?” shannon: “no. it was gale.” yang says something surprised in response to this—i forget what exactly—then he dies dramatically. then everyone in the book club stands up and does a solemn three-fingered hunger games salute. mixed-to-high audience reception; they seemed mostly onboard but i think there was some awkward pauses during all the complicated camera transitions that kind of killed the momentum? i think they could bring this back with any female host if they tighten it up.This time they cut the exterminator!Dismukes bit, but past that I don't really remember any specific changes, other than that Celeste Yim (I mean, we can assume it's Yim) definitely tightened it up and added some better punchlines this time, and—with all love to Shannon—Wiig markedly improved it with her performance. It's not that strong a sketch, but I'm still bummed it got cut again. SECTION 2: ORIGINAL DRESS RUNDOWN
SECTION 3: CHANGES FROM DRESS TO AIRI caught a lot of little dialogue differences but, to be honest, I'm too tired to list all of them nowadays, lol. Here's just the highlights:
SECTION 4: SUNDRY NOTES
|
2024.04.02 00:48 Ilikeyellowpears What do you carry in your purse when you're on your period?
I'm just beginning my reusable cup/disc journey and am curious about what period products you carry in your purse when you are (and aren't) on your period. For example, up until now, I've always just carried a spare tampon and liner in my purse for emergencies and then just a couple tampons/pads when I'm actively menstruating. I feel like I would need to carry so much with a cup/disc now: cleanser, sterilizing cup, lube, wipes, maybe period underwear in case of an emergency. Idk if this is overkill. Lmk what you carry :)

2024.03.30 23:10 Any-Possibility740 Hopping on the med trend with my pocket pharmacy
 | (Chapstick for scale) submitted by Any-Possibility740 to onebag [link] [comments] This is my kit for EDC and urban traveling. Obviously it wouldn't do for a hike, but it's enough to get me through little ailments and be the Mom Friend of my group. I take it literally everywhere with me because it fits in anything! The bag is a faux leather coin purse from a handbag I no longer own. The little ziplock baggies hold acetaminophen, Benadryl, Pepto, and Imodium, and I labeled them with the adult dosage limits. The orange softgels are for daytime flu, and I have a couple of throat lozenges. Besides the ingestibles, I have band-aids, alcohol swabs, and a panty liner. Fully loaded, the kit's about an inch thick. |
2024.03.26 23:28 GhstPnts Is this sellable?
 | I have trying to open a crochet store on Etsy for a while and have had some success. I only have one listing of a crochet pouch and one pattern of that pouch. Both fairly cheap, but I have had decent sales, but not the amount I’ve been wanting. Recently I’ve been wanting to build and add more products to my store. I am in college and work so I don’t have much time, but I thought selling purses would be really fun because they are my favorite. I’ve made a ton but this one is the best I’ve made so far. I want to know if this is good enough to sell and around what price I could sell purses like these? I noticed a spot that I would want to get better at and that’s sewing the liner. Where I sewed in the liner is not exactly straight and where I folded the fabric down for the liner is visible from the outside of the purse at the top. Not too noticeably but still there(last pic with flash). How can I make those areas better and what can I do better? Im eager to learn and really like what I do, but I don’t want to give out subpar products submitted by GhstPnts to CraftyCommerce [link] [comments] |
2024.03.26 04:38 Aiko_Heiwa Need insight! Making first beaded purse
I got the itch to expand my skillset and want to work on something larger than earrings and lanyards.
The idea is a small (large enough for a phone or wallet but not much else) cross body purse with a different beaded design on each side. The design will be either be two or three colors. I love working in brick stitch, square stitch, and right angle weave for my jewelry pieces - but for purses I see lots of bead crochet or just embroidery. I'm envisioning this being done in right angle weave but perhaps that is because I've never done it before for something of this size, and it could result in just a huge frog after hours wasted. The purse will have a fabric liner, an external fabric acting as a background/base for the beadwork (just black for the external fabric), and a rectangular clasp for the opening. Think very card shaped.
Would you secure the weave every cm or so to the background/base? Would you secure it just over the seams of the fabric so the securement points does not distort the images? What thread would you recommend to be strong enough for this beading? I'm used to working with K.O. (waxed nylon) for earrings and 0.006 Beadalon Wildfire for lanyards and thicker loom woven bracelets. I would be doing this with 15/0 Miyuki rounds
TLDR ver: would you work in right angle weave for a whole purse design with a fabric underneath? What thread do you feel is strong enough for that stitch work with 15/0 miyuki round beads?
I will post progress updates once I'm done with the planning and charting stage - even if it's a failure.

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about making some shoulder bags. Like cross body, thin strap purses. I want to use a liner so I can add a zipper pocket. Do you have any recommendations on what fabric to use?
Specifically, I'm looking for something soft but durable and has lots of different options. Any recommendations are welcome!

 | Hello, recently got a vintage Fendi mama baguette from a reseller that came with entrupy certificate of authenticity. But I’m doing my due diligence and researching on the bag. I observed that the serial number is printed on the inner liner of the pocket and is 11 digits long separated by slash /. Google search shows that the serial number is usually 12-16 symbols long with a combo of letters and digits. Is 11 digit serial number seen on my purse normal? submitted by zoro_mix to handbags [link] [comments] |
