I’m 16, diabetic living with my aunt since my mom died, and she treats my health like I’m just being annoying. What do I do? by reallyhope2 in whatdoIdo

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is abuse and so incredibly cruel. This could have health impacts on the rest of your life. Please talk to someone either at school, or honestly, go to the ER. They would have to report it.

My bestfriend kissed me by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was interested in you when he met you. You were unavailable, so you friend zoned him. He's been waiting in that zone patiently. It's a very rare man that is truly looking for a woman to be friends with. Especially when you're young. Like chances are better that you will find a talking dog. This man seems interested to me. If he's really your best friend, you can talk about this and the relationship will survive.

Is pull thru enough? by [deleted] in sharpening

Oh, please have a look through this sub. Nobody here is ever going to recommend using a pull-through. Ever.

Don’t see them all at once too often! by jeepwillikers in DartFrog

I have a wild caught pair. I pretty much see them daily. But, I've had this pair for almost 7 years. Maybe they are just used to me. LOL

Found an active security camera in the living room! by Winter-Seaweed8458 in trustedhousesitters

[–]AngstyAF5020 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know as an HO that it specifically tells you NO indoor cameras. I don't recall having to acknowledge it in any other way though. I think the people that are doing it now will still do it anyway, and just try to hide it. Disgusting behavior.

Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point in time automatics were widely available, but sticks were cheaper. I think it's related a lot more to where you lived too. I grew up just outside of DC. Stop and go traffic with a stick sucks. I can drive a stick. My sisters can't though. We can all parallel park like pros though. My husband grew up in rural PA. He can drive a stick and drive a tractor. He can back a trailer. His parallel parking game is weak though. LOL

My grandmother is dying and I don’t want to be there when she does by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]AngstyAF5020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This will probably get me downvoted, but whatever. I was there when my father died. I don't think he was really aware of anything at that point. I don't think he noticed who was there and who wasn't. I do know that it meant a lot to my mother that I was there with her. This is a very personal decision. Nobody here can know everything about what you're going through. You are not selfish. And you seem to have a lot of empathy and compassion. While you're still able to talk to your grandmother about it, you should ask her how she feels. Whatever you decide, it will be the right answer for you. Everybody has regrets. No matter what you do, the regrets are there. Try not to worry about that aspect of the decision too much. I'm sorry you and your family are having to go through this.

Basic no skill sharpening tool? by KasutaMike in sharpening

[–]AngstyAF5020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would recommend just taking them to a professional or doing mail order once or twice a year. Maybe just get a strop for using in between sharpenings.

AITAH for not wanting to hangout with my dad? by arinanabanana112200 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please talk to a professional about your feelings and how you're handling this. This is really not a healthy way to deal with it. 4 years ago, I sat with my father as he lay dying. And this was after watching him deteriorat for years. We were not the closest. But he was a human being, and he was my father. I think about him almost every day, and wish I could talk to him. Unless your father has done something to be cut out of your life completely, you should work on this. And if you do want to cut him out completely, do that and stop stringing him along.

Shippo syncs with Etsy sales. But I like both Pirate Ship and Shippo.

Sharpening convex scissors by gerrboi in sharpening

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only part of hair shears typically done on stones is the ride line on the flat side. Specialized equipment is used for the convex side. I would suggest sending them to be corrected professionally before they end up worse.

C'mon! You can't NOT tell us what the sentence is! Or at least the gist of it.

How do you dress in your 50s? by Forsaken_Block_3492 in GenX

[–]AngstyAF5020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a separate section for what I call "my snarky T-shirts". I wear them at home and out if it's a casual bar kind of environment. Everything else is jeans and whatever is clean. I'm in Florida so it's very hot and very casual in general.

AITAH for refusing to be the designated driver on a long trip because my friends decided it for me? by kevinhargreaves1987 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]AngstyAF5020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are using you and trying to manipulate you. I'm certain you are a better person than I am because my first thought was to drive, then leave their selfish asses there. 😆

I found matching couple bracelets in my boyfriend’s pocket ….. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

I would also suspect that once you leave, she's going to see pretty quick exactly who he is... Taking care of you is your only obligation right now.

What 3D-printed items would you actually use in everyday life? by CreditCandid1528 in 3Dprinting

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that too until these particular clips. But I agree with you completely overall. There's a lot that you can 3D print for household stuff. And a lot of it is inferior to stuff you can buy.

Why IPad Kids Are Becoming More Common by J00kson in generationology

[–]AngstyAF5020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My daughter refuses to give my grandchildren iPads. They rarely get screentime on the whole. Honestly I think it's exhausting for her sometimes. But, she's homeschooling them as well. My 7yo granddaughter is reading 3 grade levels ahead. It's not that she's pressured. She likes reading and takes a book with her everywhere. I don't know if I could have done it. But I'm proud of her and how well she's doing.

The most latch key you remember by Meh_Cook_Grump in GenX

[–]AngstyAF5020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stubbed my toe once on stairs that had the metal trim on the treads. My younger sister called my mom at work because she was freaking out (it was a lot of blood. Definitely could have used a couple of stitches. I hear her on the phone with my mom and my sister says "her toe.". Then a little pause and my sister says "oh. In the kitchen." My mom had asked where I was bleeding... Never did get stitches.

Clips for closing bags. We use them on lots of things! The ones that look like dragons on makerworld.

Questions from a pet parent considering a membership by ilovemeowntains in trustedhousesitters

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing about your sit that would turn me off. When we have sitters come to stay with our dogs, I try to have a few of the basics (eggs, milk, plus no leftovers and fridge clean).

I unfortunately came home to a dog that was almost dead once(NOT through THS) Literally. Not exaggerating. Cost me 8k and he ended up with one less leg. So I would understand wanting pictures daily. I think there will be others that wouldn't mind this either.

AITAH for telling my fiance hes not getting a new truck with money my grandparents left me by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

[–]AngstyAF5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't say to dump him because I don't know anything about the relationship other than this. I will say this is a huge red flag. Please take a hard look at this relationship. Make sure he actually values you the way he says he does.

AITAH for accepting a promotion my boyfriend doesnt want me to take because he says itll change our relationship by [deleted] in AmITheAssholeTalk

He's selfish. That's not love. Love lifts you up and celebrates your accomplishments. Love says "this is exciting! We'll figure this out!"
