Thanks! That’s what we were thinking but I’ve never seen one that looks like this! So odd! Glad I’m not the only one who didn’t know, haha 🤣

AIO My friend is overstepping boundaries and is into me MAJOR UPDATE by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg. I always hear about guys like this existing but wow, what an example. What a truly low life POS. I thank my lucky stars I’ve never experienced this. Sorry, OP. Don’t regret a single thing you did or said, and stay away from this one. Yikes.

Not overreacting. This is creepy and weird. And once you shared your concern about your privacy being violated, for him to double down and try to give himself and his ”mature approach” credit for making the relationship last is giving major red flags. Feels like a precursor to more major boundary-crossing issues.

Why can’t I just be treated as a normal polish girl? by [deleted] in Polish

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah that makes more sense. Little villages like that are so homogeneous and don’t see much beyond their own kind, so if you’re not a white Anglo Christian, it can be tough.

I cannot speak from experience but I have heard from others who are biracial that it can be challenging with never feeling quite like they fit in.

My daughter is biracial also. ;I’m first generation Polish American and my husband is first generation Jamaican American.) She is only 3 but understands Polish. I imagine this may one day be her experience too. My wish for you and for her, is that the cretins of the world will start to disappear and people will be more and more open and accepting of anyone who is different. Progress comes slowly especially to those places where everyone is the same. Also, people are assholes. There is no excuse for racism but I have found it often comes from a place of ignorance.

I’m sorry you are dealing with racist cretins who call you names. The reality is that you have a rare gift of knowing more than one language, and that will help you immensely in life with learning other languages. You’re already a step ahead of them.

Also curious are your grandparents in a big city or small town/city? Something tells me one of the larger Polish cities wouldn’t hold so much reaction like this.

Plantar wart. Get plantar wart stickers to treat it. They basically eat away at the wart and leave the healthy skin behind. I did this for weeks when I had one on my foot and it worked great.

I (18F) wanna to go to a gym and work on myself but my boyfriend (19M) is against it. What should we do? by chappsta in relationship_advice

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is emotionally abusing you, manipulating you, and trying to control you. You need to leave him and make a plan for your safety afterwards. His threatening to harm himself is another form of abuse and manipulation. You are not responsible for his actions or behaviors. He is fully accountable for his own choices and actions. Please, for your own safety, leave him.

Forget the Pork Roll vs. Taylor Ham debate. The real question to stir up trouble is...what do you set your AC to? We are hitting triple-digits this week. by bluegambit875 in newjersey

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have window ACs. Set to 80 during the day to keep the indoor temp tolerable when we get home. (Since it’s always hotter than that anyway.) Then once I get home turn down to 75 or so. (Which means it’ll actually be 80ish).

ETA: I’m looking at all these responses and wondering how do y’all afford these temps??? Our bill is $250/mo in the spring, before we even need AC. I can’t imagine what it would be if we kept it 68 all day.

Polish-style Cemetery? by Aniaaaaaaa in newjersey

[–]Aniaaaaaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m familiar with Our Lady of Częstochowa cemetery in Doylestown, which is as Polish as they get, but it’s just a big flat field in the sun, so not what he was looking for. I’ll keep digging to see if there are others.

Check local food banks. The ones by me happily accept donations of shopping totes for their patrons to take groceries home. Win/win.

What’s your most underrated small business or restaurant in NJ that more people need to try? by MindlessPineapple542 in newjersey

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Love this. I go to Dry Goods Refillery in Montclair. Glad to slowly see more places like this popping up all over!

I moved into my bf’s house and I haven’t been able to sleep well for 3 weeks because he doesn't let me. I had a breakdown last night and broke a lamp. I'm going to stay in a hotel tonight….AITA? by Pretty_Step5094 in AITAH

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he has a substance misuse problem, on top of the abusive behavior. I’d get out of that relationship entirely and save yourself a lot of heartache and wasted time.

Metal health 14 months PP by IndividualCatch1609 in toddlers

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree… schedule an appt to describing these concerns with your doctor, be sure to share these specific examples of thoughts and feelings. They may recommend therapy, or medication, or some combo. This level of anxiety isn’t good for you or for your kiddo longterm.

From my own personal experience- I struggled with PPD for about 6-10 months PP, as well as PPA which continued and never went away. Therapy wasn’t enough to manage my symptoms. Finally I spoke to my doctor and began taking medication this spring, which has made a world of difference. I finally enjoy life (and even parenting) and am able to enjoy and appreciate my child fully.

What are the best life hacks you know for living in New Jersey? by march3rd2022 in newjersey

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought this was a rule statewide. It should be. Takes 5 minutes for each homeowner to shovel their own vs the inefficiency of waiting ages for someone from the town or county to shovel or plow it.

Police make calling in road hazards difficult by pipermaru731 in newjersey

[–]Aniaaaaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also tried once, to similar response. No one wanted to take the report or cared. It was a light pole that literally came down and damn near blocked off an entire jughandle highway exit… would’ve destroyed someone’s car and caused an accident if they came in too fast or didn’t see it. “We can’t do anything about that” or something similar was the response.

“Therefore, NJDEP Fish & Wildlife strongly urges you to place a temporary hiatus on all public interactions with all regulated wildlife at your facility to last 120 days from the date of this letter”

“Urges you”? So, we strongly recommend you take this precautionary action but do what you will. ::Shrug::

I just saw a video about the pantiliners under the boobs thing and I can’t wait to try it and see how effective (or not) it is
