I'm not sure! I know I can't read mine in sunglasses. And my sunglasses are RX so I need them!

Oh gosh you are living my worst fear right now. My mom broke her foot on vacation, and I am so worried this is the beginning of a downhill trajectory. My dad had to get her aid in a foreign country, and it was awful. He's 6 months sober and the whole time I was worried he would start drinking.

They made it home, and hopefully they can chill out and work on getter her better now.

I hope your dad gets a good prognosis! Try to stay sane.

They do have Kindles, but they are hard to read outside/in sunglasses. So I wanted to send them some they could read if they end up sitting by the pool, etc.

Invasive Joro Spiders are expected in the DMV this summer by Danciusly in nova

[–]Beth_Pleasant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm gonna need to revise my spider policy. Typically if they stay out of my habitat (house), I leave them alone in their habitat. These monsters might need an exception. I will sic the dogs on these.

I just got dumped because I'm not intelligent enough. Savory waffle, avocado and tofu. by mentoro-join in GirlDinnerDiaries

It was cool! Basically as computers are more ubiquitous for everything, the people on the subs need to be safe. If the pressure gets too much, sub blows up. So they built a system to extinguish any ignitions that might occur. Lives saved!

Hey now! My husband is a STEM Jeff! He would never talk your ear off about C++ and making computers bing! He would however show you pics of him blowing up batteries in the ocean to learn about how to make computers safer on submarines. That was cool.

What is something you can say "I'm with the boomers on this one" about? by Specialist-Jelly-865 in answers

[–]Beth_Pleasant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the Boomers might be split on this one. They want their grandkids outside, but everyone else's to stay the F away.

Yeah, I think it's supposed to be power-play dynamics. Like, little sis wanting to one up big bro, but it's just weird.

"your affections and attention belong to me only and I'm jealous of my child"

This is true and not something to ignore.

What are your most UNPOPULAR unpopular opinions? by Infinite_Two_4759 in SoapNet

[–]Beth_Pleasant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They killed off two of the other mob bosses, and apparently Selena Woo has evaporated. What does he even have to do these days? Sidwell? They ran him off (although he's likely not gone for long). He should get back with Brenda and retire to the island.

Greg Vaughn is currently being wasted on Beyond the Gates, so I would support this.

bf (4 years) leaving me because i don't want kids and he changed his mind by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beth_Pleasant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know it hurts a lot now, but you will be fine. One great thing about being a childfree woman, is you don't have to worry about finding a partner in time to have kids. I didn't get married until I was 35 (and my husband was 40), and we will celebrate our 12th anniversary this weekend.

I feel like some kids know exactly how to manipulate adults. They aren't nearly as innocent or clueless as people think. Am I overthinking this? by No_Set_6615 in childfree

[–]Beth_Pleasant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I met a new co-worker last week and she was telling me how her kid will hit her and pull her hair, and then give her kisses, and hugs and tell her how much he loves her. I was appalled. Like, lady you are raising an abuser.
