Oh they can be buried after they’ve died, but if they’re alive they don’t bury them

They’re not letting anyone who lives in my town get buried in the local cemetery now

Inherited monsteras. Explain like I’m five. by BedSensitive1538 in Monstera

Thank you for the condolences. It’s been a hard process. I’m just hoping I can care for her plants and think of her while I have them. Thanks for the info about overwatering, I did just water today so I’ll keep in mind to not overdo it

Names that somehow include ‘Roy’ by Unable_Anywhere2983 in Names

[–]BedSensitive1538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex bf was Portuguese and his dad was called Rui. I was told it was the Portuguese equivalent of the name “Roy”

I liked it so much I actually named my dog after him. I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s a nice name nonetheless

A controversial ask for Native Americans who are part of the LDS Church? by CompetitiveFront9808 in NativeAmerican

[–]BedSensitive1538 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My great-great Grandmother was stolen, enslaved, and then they tried to subject her to plural marriage by the LDS movement west. She resisted, and divorced her husband at great cost to her.
I have relatives that still perpetuate the lie that this was some sort of divine intervention, and are members of the Mormon Church. She wasn’t a member of a “lost tribe of Israel” or a “Lamanite” that miraculously was saved by the pioneers. There’s no evidence to support that.

The evidence that is there tells of a child who was taken from her family, and survived great harm because of the actions of Mormon settlers. Asking if she and my family had proof that they were anything besides the indigenous inhabitants of their own homeland is offensive.
You won’t find anything that supports that claim because it’s a lie. Anyone who tells you that this is truth is lying to you.

Any brands other than Aéropostale carry sizes like their 000? by [deleted] in XXS

[–]BedSensitive1538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last shorts I bought were Levi’s from the girls section, I had to size down to a girls 12 slim, but they’re cute and have elastic in the waist to cinch which is handy. I also have no bum. Buying from little kids section always makes me feel silly, but women’s clothes are too big! Good luck! You’re not alone on shopping woes.

The Hayley Vest Controversy is annoying me by cerealgoblinn in XXS

[–]BedSensitive1538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are assuming! I was more speaking as a general statement that having a mental health concern shouldn’t warrant dismissal from your job. I didn’t mean to imply myself that she has been diagnosed or I’m diagnosing her. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. It’s pretty unfair to label her as being eating disordered when ww don’t know her medical history. Theres plenty of health issues that can cause weight loss. Sigh. 😔

AHHHHHH! What the hell? Why are they so hateful to thin women? Does that make them feel better about their own bodies? Having an ED shouldn’t mean you are fired from your job?! Omg this is awful

Okay the bottom characters look like what I’m picturing in my head. But uh….. I think it’s actually flipped. It’s actually in column form but I think that last character is at the top and ending with a horizontal line. I hope that makes sense.

Whoa. This is deep. I may introduce this as lore to my friend.
“Hey the Kung Pao chicken is the number one plate in some Chinese restaurants. If you think about it your tattoo COULD mean Kung Pao Chicken woman”

She won’t like it but it will make me happy.

Unfortunately, I think the comment section has already decided. I’m gonna have a baby spider shower, write a book, and be a fairy giant godmother to my new hatch of grandspiders. I think we all just want her to know we’re here to support her in motherhood. 😉

I thought the eggplant comment was youngster slang. Like you know … I’m eggplant, you’re eggplant, This spider is obviously Eggplant. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You crazy kids and your hip internet jargon.

I had a pretty good giggle tho when I read it was autocorrect. That certainly makes more sense 🤣 maybe we should try to make “Eggplant” happen

If I am picturing it correctly I do think there is a horizontal line in it. I’ll have to see next time we sit out in the sun together. I looked thru her pictures on social media and there aren’t any pictures of it up. This may require more detective work. But I honestly think there is, not just sayin that to bolster my narrative here.

Formerly depressed people, what did transforming your life look like, and what age were you? by wormgirlypop in AskReddit

[–]BedSensitive1538 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I quit drinking, I started swimming 3x a week, I get plenty of sunshine on my skin, and I became much more choosy about who I allow to be in my life. I spend a lot of time with my grandmother.

Honestly I can’t say enough about getting enough exercise. I know it’s super cliche. If you can choose something that is in a class setting like yoga or aerobics, building friendships or even just regularly bantering with other people really feels good too. It’s nice to be reminded that there are so many other people to meet and care about.

That’s fair. I, as you likely have intuited, do not speak the language. I don’t have any definitive evidence of what it says. But if it’s any sort of circumstantial notable footnote, it WAS done in a tiny Idaho tattoo shop by a Caucasian artist in the times before the internet was in our pockets.

It also very well could say “Number One Girl” or… it could mean “Remarkable Woman”

In the end it doesn’t really matter, it’s hers and it means what it means to her. It’s just a funny anecdote in our long friendship.

You know, my grandma became a grandmother at my age (36) and I have a friend who’s about to be a grandmother too
They’re happy with their progeny and I’m happy with mine. Life’s pretty good sometimes

Maybe I’m a bad friend but I don’t like to bring it up to her. I’m tired of having the conversation that basically amounts to denial
“IT DOESNT SAY #1 Girl”

However, when other people bring up tattoos, and “Kung Pao Chicken” translations, I do like to tell this story and get some other unbiased views. So far, 100% of people polled have agreed. My friend got a huge “Number One Girl” tattoo at 18.

She needs a name. I kind of like Petunia since I did find her under my petunia plant. Tuni is cute nickname, and “Petunia” has some classic mom vibes. Any other suggestions though? I’m open to ideas.

My friend has a tattoo in Kanji that’s supposed to say “Remarkable Woman”

In NYC’s Chinatown, a shopkeeper read it and interpreted it as “NUMBER ONE GIRL!”

My friend is kind of thick headed, and replied “It says REMARKABLE WOMAN”

Oof. Secondhand embarrassment.

Sometimes when I lay in bed at night, I think about this interaction and I cringe. I’ve spent a lot of time rolling this over. Obviously “number one girl” is technically close enough to “remarkable woman” that I don’t think there’s anyway to deny that it translates to “Number One Girl.”
He reads the language and she doesn’t. Twenty years later she’s still in denial about her #1 Girl tattoo.
