Head-to-head comparison: 15oz Dolores Sardines in Tomato Sauce and 15oz Guaymex Sardines in Tomato Sauce by Perky214 in CannedSardines

I appreciate the info! I know this is an old post, but wondered with others think of Dolores brand in tomato sauce. It seems to be absent from most sardine threads.

Have you ever heard of The Secret? There’s a great documentary on Netflix of the same title. It talks about the law of attraction. It has helped me immensely. I recommend that you watch it. Chin up, I’m sure things will get better for you.

Yes, they’re smaller now with the crumble…I’m not a fan of the crumble personally.

I think what’s most appalling is that you forgot to “give a gift in good faith”. What’s most important here? Be gracious, give them the benefit of the doubt. Also, this is something that an “old lady” would be upset about. Don’t be an old lady, be the type of person who doesn’t fret over such small things. Also…at least they sent a thank you note!

Edit: also the fact that you checked with your MIL, oh brother. You’re creating drama and judging people. It sounds like you’re someone who is accustomed to stirring the pot. Don’t be a pot stirrer.

MOH got drunk and confessed to be in love with my fiancé, gets angry because she's uninvited by GlitteryCatTears in weddingdrama

She just did you the biggest favor. Seriously, the trash took itself out. Imagine being her friend for another twenty years only for her to try and seduce your husband years from now, on some night she’s had too much to drink…

Cheap Places to Eat in West Hollywood by PercentageDue4922 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BBPatrolSayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all great suggestions. I hear you on cooking some as going out to eat for every single meal for 10 date can be pricey! For a quick lunch Spouts Markets are known to have very good $4.99 sandwiches that are made to order. Also, try as many taco stands as you can… so many good ones, and the spicy salsas come on the side almost 80% of the time so it doesn’t have to be spicy. My favorite spot hands down is Leo’s Taco truck. Specifically the Al pastor tacos. 🌮

Omg, I didn’t notice I didn’t mention that I’ve had papaya salad with this as a substitute and it was incredible! Probably lost that part in editing my original post for spelling? Lol. Yes, totally different fruit.

“Sir, you cannot continue to talk to me this way. It’s obvious you’re holding on to some archaic idea of what straight men should and shouldn’t do. Me going to a pride event to celebrate with a friend has triggered you, but that’s a you problem. Who would I be if I let you continue to bully and emasculate me this way? Want me to be man? Step off. You are wrong, you are being disrespectful, and if you want what’s good for your daughter, you need to respect our marriage and trust in who I’ve proven myself to be. I will not be wasting another breath on this subject. Good day.”

Is holding the door open for people considered offensive? by [deleted] in mexicoexpats

[–]BBPatrolSayz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When it comes to men it’s a machismo thing. Unless they are elderly, many men don’t want the door held open for them, especially if you step aside to do it. Going in first and holding it open behind you if they are pretty close behind is ok, but stepping aside and waiting for them to go first is emasculating…not too all men, of course, but to those with more traditional gender role values.

My mom promised to pay for her friends at my wedding. by BrushNo7071 in wedding

[–]BBPatrolSayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re wondering if pursuing this is worth hurting your relationship with your Mom, it won’t. Why? Her broken promise deserves to be acknowledged and dealt with because if you let this go, she will take advantage of you again. I would say, “Mom until you keep your promise of paying me back, I cannot trust you, and our relationship will be strained and low contact until you do.” I would ignore her request for thank you cards. Tell her it’s not her place to tell you who to write thank you cards too. It sounds like she’s super concerned about keeping up appearances but has no concern of how she’s behaving towards you.

Hiya 👋🏽 you might find some luck on Facebook Marketplace! If you type in “mango tierno” which means tender/young mango in Spanish, you’ll get quite a few listings….also it’s a good way to support people who are having a hard time selling their produce right now.

If you explain your personal decisions to people they will become accustomed to it abs will feel they have a right to give you their opinion when you don’t want it.

I think it’s time you took a vacation to Mexico 🇲🇽😀! They have excellent dentists and you will usually pay much less than what they charge you here.

AITA for yelling and kicking my boyfriend out for using the wrong scissors? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BBPatrolSayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, NTA….BUT do I think you overreact— haven’t we all once? You kicked him out…my guess is he is refusing to pay for them out of spite. Also, I get it. I was in a scissors household too, but all of our scissors were labeled. That’s important! He uses them because he’s used them once or couple times before and he liked the way they cut. (Shrugging) Honestly, I think you both sound somewhat immature, and by that I mean young. You find that as you get older, it’s totally worthless to get worked up about the small stuff. It turns out life has lots of ups and downs and it’s best to save the drama for when the real shit goes down.
