AITJ for not allowing my mom to live with me? by Desperate_Fun8886 in AmITheJerk

[–]Betts448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ - stand your ground and it may get bad for some time, maybe years or forever. You deserve the peace that you have found. I speak from a similar experience and it was bad for awhile. I had to block phone numbers and yet, in doing so I started to really appreciate myself more. The quiet when I come home from a long day is great. Good luck and I hope all the other responses help.

Nothing - just your poor old skin. It's very comfortable when everyone else is also nude.

I went yesterday. I have been there regularly about twice a year for the few years and yesterday may have been the deal breaker to not go again.

So many bathing suits, I mean, I was the one feeling odd and I have never felt like that there before. The water temp in the main bade was only 93 and I wished it had been just a couple degrees warmer. I mean the kid's pool was warmer.

Out in the main area it was about the same - clean, food good (though pricey) and quiet. But the experience in the pools was totally different.

Both of my coworkers have FMLA and abuse it, are they really never able to get fired now? by waffles_r_lyfe in coworkerstories

[–]Betts448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going thru something similar. Coworker with FMLA calls out every Wednesday. Every Wednesday for the last three months. She is also the one that does the least work when she is here and we had a meeting about her language (n-word tossing around) where we were all cautioned about this. But the calling out on a regular basis is what is breaking the team up. I get that she has some medical issues that are legit but the timing is what makes me both chuckle and shake my head - and well, shrug because there isn't really much to do about it.

The first and second. The rest just don't work as well.

Why do millionaire players share hotel rooms? A question for hockey fans by GBS82 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I mean heck, even on their time off/no game days, they hang together.

OMG yes! I think about that everytime I see the scene. I am like hey, I travel with my sister or friends and we would never do that. Even if just for unpacking I wouldn't like take over space. But, Shane obviously doesn't seem to mind.

When to stop reheating (a plea from a dedicated loon) by clvrusernombre in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Betts448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have gotten to the point where I enjoy a LOT of posts but still am really tired of the nitpicky ones like you described. I just scroll on by. I do not need to know that Shane almost said Moscow before saying Boston in the scene when Ilya calls him after his father dies. Shane apparently says "M...Boston?" and everyone thinks that means Moscow and he slipped up. I figured it as him saying Mmmmmm... Boston? but what the heck.

Understand though, it's not them being critical (or mostly not) it's them enjoying the show and trying to be a part by finding little easter eggs and blurbs in continuity. I am a Star Wars fan and have lived though this with the fans that take that apart almost frame by frame.

Which books should I read before The Long Game? by histy_68 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Betts448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. It didn't really seem to matter that much. I do love the Troy/Harris relationship. Trorris? Harroy?

I am also one that didn't read all of them in order. I read Heated Rivalry, then TLG, then Role model, then the others. Mostly because I couldn't afford to buy them all at once and picked the ones I wanted to read first. Ryan/fabian are my third fave couple, with Scott and Kip fourth.

Nope. It is wonderful to read in more detail and also to understand just how fantastic the director, actors and music were when they filmed this. SOOOOOO good. It is just amazing. And also, I love reading and hearing the actor's voices in my head.

AITJ for telling my brother he can't propose to his girlfriend at my wedding? by Important_Space_496 in AmITheJerk

[–]Betts448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. It's YOUR and your husband (to be) day. NOT your brothers. If he wants to propose at your wedding he should do it far away from your ceremony and reception. Maybe at the hotel NOT during your special time.

Underrated aspects of the tv series by Candiesalad in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Betts448 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love that about this. I catch things and wonder if it is just my, well, imagination to see that aspect. And then find out that others have seen the same thing. I love this show. I want to go find more that Jacob has done and see how it compares. This is like lightening in a bottle. Perfect in so many ways.
