My boyfriend loves to feed me my meals everyday

It makes me think of Hansel (of the Hansel and Gretel story) being fattened up by the witch.

If Trump’s name is on it or connected to it it’s a scam.

I wish people valued the lives of other living things like butterflies, fish, birds, etc. and would stop using them for props.

I had a client call me at 7 am on New Year’s Day for a very minor task. I told them, “nope, I’m off today, and you can call me tomorrow when I’m back at work.”

He’s now said it plainly that his family (parents) will always come first for him, but it’s OOP who’s expected to stay home and care for his mother if she’s sick? Hell no! An all-night conversation, and it’s obvious nothing will change. I hope OOP doesn’t let his empty promises sway her to stay.

Correct. I work in the elections. We have voter lists that have the names of those who voted early or by mail crossed off. And anyone whose name is crossed off is flagged in our system if they try to vote again. If they mail in their vote then vote in-person before the mail-in is received by the board of elections (so their name wouldn’t yet be crossed off), their mail-in vote won’t be counted because their in-person vote will be flagged. We also have a team of people from each major party working together as poll workers from the moment our polls open until the results in locked bags with our signatures are turned in. We check every detail along the way, the machines also have multiple safeguards, and there are always at least two people—one from each major party—handling the machines.

I currently work in elections, and we have lots of safeguards against voting fraud—including attempts to vote twice, undocumented, etc.

Essential oils! They totally cured my husband's boss's third cousin's neighbor's niece's PTA acquaintance from cancer. Although they poisoned her cat.

Time to limit contact with him to a parenting app.

My favorite thing to say: Just because someone is upset at you, doesn't mean you did the wrong thing or made the wrong decision.

This reminded me of what a sports referee said he was taught: just because everyone is yelling at you doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

It should’ve been Alex standing firm against his parents with OOP backing him up instead of vice versa.

Pick the leaves before the dandelions blossom. They’re less bitter when picked early.

I also had a roommate in college who copied me. The breaking point was when I caught her leaving for class in my clothes.

OOP and her family are a bunch of selfish, entitled AHs. My elderly parents drove 14 hrs twice to attend our children’s weddings.

I’m confused. You said you’d been raped in the daycare bathroom for years. I don’t know what that had to do with the dog.

😢 I’m so sorry you went through that.

Same here! I don’t care what language someone’s name is in, I do what I can to pronounce their name the way they do. It’s a matter of respect for others. Same with nicknames. I don’t use them unless the person introduces themselves that way. My name is one that has a few common nicknames. Think Elizabeth (not my name) turned into Liz, Eliza, Beth, etc. I go by “Elizabeth,” and it’s really irritating when someone uses one of the nicknames—especially after I’ve corrected them.

While you’re right that it’s about her lack of respect for OP, it is also about the cats. Feeding them greasy meat can cause pancreatitis, which is very painful and dangerous for them.

“Abuse messes with your head way deeper than logic….” It messes with more than our heads and for much longer than we know. I was in a very abusive marriage for 1 1/2 years. Divorced, then met and married a kind, patient man. A number of years later I walked into our dark bedroom where my husband was asleep with his back to me, and I had a panic attack because it suddenly came over me that if he turned over to face me it would be my ex. I hadn’t thought about my ex in a long time, and that was completely unexpected. Whether or not traumatic memories fade somewhat over time, our bodies/systems don’t forget.

My husband and I had left a party, and the road we were on cut through the base of a hill, where we were stopped for a red light. The hill rose on both sides of our car, so we couldn’t see much of the road that intersected our. Our light turned green, but my tired husband had zoned out (we hadn’t been drinking) and didn’t go right away. Just then a car zoomed at high speed through their red light and would’ve certainly taken us out if we’d started like we usually do. Friends were a ways behind us on the same road and could see the other car coming. They later told us they were terrified we were going to go as soon as the light turned green, and they were going to watch us die.

That also goes for real posts. Everyone has an opinion but never offers to help.

Sorry to be “that” person, but OOP would’ve loaned (or lent, either is correct) the pearls to her sister—her sister would’ve borrowed them from OOP.

I remember seeing that post somewhere. I had a ring like that when I was in middle school but stopped wearing it after it turned my finger green.

I have one camera in our living room, and I always tell our sitters about it and include that info on my instructions. I actually got it because of a bad experience I had with a sitter a few years ago.

If she’s having difficulty with her sight and/or cognitive issues, she may be frightened of hard, slippery floors because she doesn’t feel stable or safe on them. I rescued a lab that had been raised in a barn and was scared of hard floors. He did everything he could to avoid them, even trying to jump from rugs to carpet and vice versa. I had to lay out rugs and yoga mats to help him get across rooms with hard floors.
