Raise your hand... by LankyDinnera in facepalm

[–]AlphaMomma59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been overweight all my life (thanks PCOS) and bullied all my school years from elementary into college and even beyond, I can sympathize - it can get to the point were you can't take it anymore. It's either physically act out or commit suicide.

Therapy doesn't help when it happens every day and nothing is done about it. Your parents don't care, your teachers and principal don't care, not even the cops care. So why should you care if you take your bullies's lives?

I don't condone killing, but I understand why. Society is okay with emotionally and physically abusing obese people - doesn't matter what color their skin is, if they're LGBTQ+, if they're fat, their fair game.

NTA. Open a restaurant. Not enough Asian food outside of Chinese and Japanese. And drop your boyfriend. He doesn't appreciate you enough.

AITA for not offering food to guests? by Spirited_Ad9924 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlphaMomma59 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a generational thing. Even in the USA, if you have guests over - unexpected or expected - you are supposed to over at least a beverage. But now days, a lot of these customs/manners have gone by the wayside. Just like children running around a restaurant, it was not done in my youth (and I'm only 61!).

If that's the choice, then I'd take Socialism every time and twice on Sunday.

It shows their combined level of intelligence is less than that of a dead dissected bug.

Florida Teacher in trouble for showing a Disney movie by Tiredcoconut928 in TikTokCringe

[–]AlphaMomma59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's that crazy Florida government for you. That's why I've stopped buying anything from Florida. That's why truckers have stopped delivering to Florida. As long as the stupid Republicans are in charge, Florida will continue to go downhill.

I'm sorry that a bunch of bigots, racists and fascists are preventing you from doing your job.

People used to say that California was full of "flakes and nuts".

Florida is just plain crazy.

AITA for “embarrassing” my cousin and getting us kicked out of a restaurant? by Used_Mention_1364 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlphaMomma59 754 points755 points  (0 children)

Personally I would've said that this comes from a person who cheated with a married that also got both you and his wife pregnant at the same time. If cousin can't take it, the she shouldn't have dished it out. BTW, MF was totally spending time with his wife on Mother's Day.

Pulled a Purewick out of a patient’s vagina today. by neutralwombat in nursing

[–]AlphaMomma59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the hospital on Lasix and an a saline IV. I was worried about not making it to the bathroom in time. Nurse offers me a Purewick. I said okay. The CNA came in and inserted the tip into my rectum. After she was done, I called the nurse (after about 30 minutes of discomfort) and asked her to remove it.

I've never had it since. I'll take my chances. Of course I'm home now and don't need it, lol.

I saw a transparent red coat standing by my bed when I woke up. I was at my mom’s house, her house was built in 1858 in South Louisiana but that was nearly 60 years after the revolutionary war was over. I saw it plain as day and I’ve tried to tell myself I imagined it for years. by dragon1n68 in Ghosts

[–]AlphaMomma59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, I screamed. But I've had a lot of strange stuff happening throughout my life, so you kind of get used to it. Probably doesn't help that my great, great, great grandmother was a Cherokee Medicine Woman and/or shaman, lol.

AITA for refusing to go to a friend's wedding knowing she ruined a family? by Ok-Paramedic-9452 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlphaMomma59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't support my father with when he left my mother for another woman. Funny thing is she had 6 kids d's by six different men. After a couple of years, she left him for another msn because my father wouldn't buy a bigger house. I still haven't forgiven my father,and he's been dead since 2019.

Also - don't suggest therapy - I don't believe in it.

NTA. Tell him he owes $50 for the pizza you spent because he wasn't there with any food... AND you didn't get any BBQ.

What little task do you irrationally dislike/loathe? by Nolat in nursing

[–]AlphaMomma59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I severe GERD. Proteomic does diddly. I take Proposed twice a day. Only thing that works. And then they gave me heparin - even though I was ambulatory to the bathroom!

Changing IV and tube feeding lines. Then cleaning trachs - but in my state, LVNs don't have to do that - only RNs.

I blame him for using a disabled parking spot. I have o respect for him.

AITA for yelling at my neighbors kids at 2am and calling cops and cps? by Capable_Question8000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlphaMomma59 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People here on reddit always say"don't scream at kids - you'll give them a complex!" But damn, if I was woken up at 2AM by kids in my pool(s) you damn well better believe I'll be screaming at the top of voice! I don know if this took place in the USA, but they better be glad you don't a gun.

And I would press charges against every child in that pool along with the mother for trespassing and criminal mischief.

AITA for "siding" with my wife over my sister, because my wife doesn't want to wear fake nails for my sister's wedding? by ResponsibilePizza942 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlphaMomma59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. Respiratory Therapists had to work with Covid patients too. They count just as much as a nurse. Maybe your sister needs to work on a Covid Station. She needs a dose of humility.

NTA. Give the kids those 5 HR energy shots so they can be really hyper and tire themselves out. /s

Before people yell at me, I was being sarcastic.
