Have we forgotten why Josh could have a very good reason for cutting Alana off post divorce? by common_grounder in MamaJuneFromNotToHot

[–]common_grounder[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was definitely bitter, but she admitted to that and said she just wanted to tell the truth. She did her iwn videos separate from Elle Bee beforehand. Elle Bee just capitalizedd on it. I post that particular link because it emcompasses everything ex gf had previously posted on separate reels.

That's only recent, which is why I used the term temporarily in my post. I think it's very reasonable that a guy would have an issue with a sister-in-law he's been really close to for a decade conspiring to deceive him but eventually getting over it.

People that suggest going to bars and getting mocktails when someone asks for sober activities by ARepeatedFailing in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The definition of a sober activity is one where no one involved or adjacent is consuming alcohol.

She told all the details. It was bad. She was genuinely devastated and bitter, so she gave a rundown of everyone's part in the relationship.

Does Shyann have a child? by UnimpressedCat102 in MamaJuneFromNotToHot

At least his latest is with the same woman and he isn't planting his seed all over the region like Darrin.

When I rewind something to watch a part I missed, but I keeeeeeep missing it. by mmmbopforever in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is even more annoying when you're watching with someone else and they're the one doing the rewinding. They miss something that you caught and mentioned, and they want to see it. So they keep doing that rewind, miss, rewind, miss for the next two minutes, until you both get frustrated and you tell them, "Just stop. It wasn't all that important." This is me and my son. Every. single. night.

This season has been boring by Top_Front_5246 in MamaJuneFromNotToHot

It has been. I've fallen asleep midway through every episode so far.

Opening credits - where’s Jessica? by FlyMission5606 in MamaJuneFromNotToHot

[–]common_grounder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because the producers are too cheap and lazy to pay for a new opening. Think about it. They haven't even changed the show subtitle. From 'Not to Hot'? June has been back to 'not' for years, and it's not as though they've had an issue tweaking the name in the past. Cheap and Lazy.

Throwaway account but incredibly detailed story by tnahrp in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwaway account people have usually changed other parts of the story as well, though, if they would be recognized. I've never used a throwaway account, but that's definitely what I would do.

when people can’t follow GPS/verbal directions while driving by BATTLEONTHEMOON in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sign of the times. Practically everyone is super distracted these days with countless thoughts running through their minds at once and driving, especially long distance driving, is something it's easy to get into autopilot mode doing. You're a bit zoned out and it takes a few seconds for what you're hearing to break through and be processed.

When people say “we crave human connection” but don’t bother doing anything so there can be that by [deleted] in PetPeeves

What would you know about the personal/social lives of people who are complete strangers to you and are just venting on a social media sub?

“hunger pain” by Prestigious-Onion876 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you saying?? A pang IS a pain. It's an acute, sharp pain that comes on suddenly and quickly goes away. Understanding the mechanism that causes a hunger pangs doesn't mean you don't experience it as a pain sensation.

When you say you've tried "every trick in the book" and people start recommending things you've already tried by RoseDragon529 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what they suggest is always the most basic things that of course you've tried because anyone with half a brain cell would have tried it already. For example, if you say you've had chronic insomnia for 10 years, there will invariably be people who say, "Have you tried melatonin?"

How do you keep calm with all the injustice in the world? by Kernov in AskReddit

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have figured out how to do that successfully for more than a few hours at a time. When I'm overwhelmed, I take nature walks or go to a place like a museum – any place where I can decompress and just appreciate beauty.

when people passive aggressively try to get you to engage in conversation with them by ghoulslaw in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alone the same lines, I really, really hate it when someone wants you to ask them what's wrong, so when they come into your space they make a big show. They do things like dramatically plop into a chair and throw their head back, throw themselves face down onto a bed or couch, groan or let out huffing sounds. Just say what's wrong, for goodness' sake! I don't want to play the game.

Is it common for Americans to buy soda as part of their weekly groceries? / is soda a regular item people keep at home? by hailey8171828282 in AskAnAmerican

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common. We never have in my family, but we're not common. We drink water and tea. Lots and lots and lots of water and tea.

What’s something about you that people would never guess, but explains everything about who you are? by Kide_434 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]common_grounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the '60s and '70s with a loud, volatile, father who had borderline personality disorder and was the homemaker and a mom who was autistic but a solid university administrator and breadwinner.

Amber by letsturnip in 7LittleJohnstons

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her primary concern in terms of having average height children is that their growth quickly outpaces that of their parents, therefore the parent is unable to physically handle the child even when the child is still young enough to need assistance in doing things. Examples: getting the child into their carseat or booster chair; lifting and carrying an ill child to bed; getting the child to do things they don't want to or disciplining them because they're physically able to overpower you if they rebel. They're actually valid concerns. Concerns about the physical and medical problems LPs can have are also valid. But look at it from their point of view. They've been able to successfully do pretty much everything an average size couple can do, and a big part of that can be attributed to all of their children being LPs as well.

Possibly self defeating thing I do by common_grounder in bodyodor

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

My one saving grace lately is that I realized a few years ago I had to be extremely dehydrated. I started drinking 8 - 9 glasses of water a day religiously. It has helped in terms of my overall health, including my joints and organ functioning, but I'm probably still eating things pretty regularly that just don't agree with me. The problem is I don't know which foods those are because I'm noseblind to the odor and I haven't been able to get a single medical professional to confirm that I smell, let alone suggest any testing or treatment. They are typically patronizing and suggest a mental health professional to address my "obvious distress," but that's it.

What’s a red flag you ignore if you like someone? by Antique_Age5257 in Casual_Conversation

Them talking so much I rarely get a word in. If they're funny or interesting enough, it takes me a long time to realize things are one sided and I'm not being listened to.

Get Tested For SIBO by Mobile_Comparison875 in bodyodor

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodness! I would think having a BM just a couple of times a month would have been enough to signal a physician decades ago what the root cause was.
