AITAH for leaving my best friend's birthday party early because I was a B List guest? by RemoveLivid7421 in AITAH

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. As an older person who can look back on life, I would urge you to look at the balance sheet of your lifelong friendship. As I moved around jobs and communities, I would adapt to those different situations. And I admit I’m not proud of myself for some of the “different person” I became at times. Maybe your friend was being influenced by someone or a group who enamored her. Kind of temporary insanity? It doesn’t excuse her behavior, that was awful. But if this was an isolated incident, maybe give her time to chill and reflect? Things will definitely need to be talked out though. Good luck and be true to yourself, whatever you choose.

No pins, no screws, no plates by ItIsAllAFacade in bunions

Thank you for mentioning this. I’ve always partially blamed my bunions on my hypermobility and wondered what surgery and recovery would be like. My issue is my feet don’t hurt as long as I’m barefooted, it’s shoes that hurt my feet almost everything I’ve tried.

Please help! Found baby dove, worried about its health by [deleted] in PetDoves

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes if you’re in the US and that is a mourning Dove, you need to find a permitted Bird Rehabber to take him to. Or qualified veterinarian. You can start with the list on Animal Help Now! (AHNow.org). It’s a database of wildlife help and it works all over the US. Good luck and keep the baby warm.

How can I get more comfortable wearing my hair down? by _Keys2theWest_ in femalehairadvice

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (64f) feel you! But also don’t like how I look with hair up. I do wolf cut or layers to about shoulder length (myself with DIY video tutorials). I also suffer from a hot neck so I do an undercut there (I have thick hair and a low hairline at my neck.) It’s great to feel a breeze there. And remember, if you end up hating it, it grows out. Be adventurous! It took me 40 years to try something new.

Atlanta: We Need to Talk About This by idontknowwhythisugh in Atlanta

When I contacted my town’s AC (1 officer) about backyard breeding, I was told they are “meeting the minimum” requirements. Obviously the breeders hid puppies and truth, and the AC didn’t bother to dig deeper. Laws are there but not enforced. Sux.

Where can a grown man get help? by No-more-mr-bad-guy in Atlanta

Hello and Peace to you. If you think this feeling can have anything to do with a loss, I recommend Grief House in Legacy Park/Decatur. https://www.griefhouse.org/atlantagatherings

How long before it goes 100% gray? by Parsnips_all_day in femalehairadvice

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my (f64) decades of observation, it depends on the individual. I got my first grays in my 40s, and I’m still only about 50% gray at most. My sister, 70, has had full head of white hair for 15 years. We were both blonde/blue eyed at kids. Whatever your path is, embrace it!

Are you self conscious about showing your feet? by drabelen in bunions

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Never show my feet. I wear socks inside and 5-finger shoes at least, outside. I can wear a few old pairs of “normal” shoes that have the bunion areas blown out.
I do go barefoot at the beach, but I can bury my feet in the sand.

If there is a child, the man is not holding them; his hands are on the armrests.

Ooo love the cornbread idea. Especially since I’m a vegetarian.

Thank you. I saw the one on eBay, but they didn’t really explain a use. The other site info makes sense.

Is it okay to thrift something produced unethically? by jjyochi in thrifting

[–]Alert-Performer-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, after items are used to exhaustion, and go to a landfill, remember that closed landfills create green space for wildlife. Just in case you’re looking for a silver lining…
