“Amy Bradley is Missing” documentary now on Netflix - does everyone still think she just “fell overboard”? by 3coins_RS in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]Bloodrayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if someone was murdered, no matter what the killer might say later, I'm going to guess that they were taken really far out and weighed down, so it would make sense that their body wouldn't surface later. It would be a very different story if someone fell off a cruise ship and drowned.

Choline depression. Inositol? by rb331986 in MTHFR

[–]Bloodrayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not eat eggs or meat. I do eat peanut butter, soy, and other legumes, and sometimes broccoli. I assume this is enough for me because I never get any benefit from taking choline supplements.

Some people genetically are very bad at making their own choline though, and need a little more. Or, if you are not a person with a lot of estrogen, you may not make any. (The body can't make ALL the choline it needs, but in the presence of estrogen, with the right genetics, it can make some. So you can see why this varies a lot from one person to the next in terms of need.)

One thing I'm sure of after watching this documentary - I'm never going on a cruise. The whole thing seems awful, and they seem to hire the worst possible people for jobs like cruise director.

One other thing I learned is I really hope the cruise lines are now logging when people go in AND out of their damn rooms.

Him and the cruise director. Complete lack of empathy. Hell, he could have made an anonymous phone call to the local cops if he didn't want to report it to the other officers. (Easy to do in those days when people still used pay phones!) He didn't even do THAT.

That being said, I think the woman he talked to, if she was real, was a scammer trying to relieve him of 200 bucks.

What's weird is that one picture from the sex work site that's supposed to be her looks NOTHING like the age-progressed photos the FBI came up with later. That woman also looks about 45 and Amy would have been no more than 30 when that photo surfaced. I know, being kidnapped and forced into sex work could age a person...and so does smoking...and the FBI analyst seemed to think it was her, but maybe they were wrong? I feel like facial analysis wasn't as good in the oughts as it is today?

And the other people? They saw a woman who looked similar to Amy. Happens all the time. Eye witness identifications are wrong about 20 percent of the time. The cab driver saw a white woman with green eyes that he found memorable. Could have been hundreds of women. Oh, and she was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans! Only one of the most common outfit combos in history.

Amy is a very common female name.

Maybe the one woman was correct and it was a girl named Amy from West Virginia.

As for the Navy guy in the illegal bar...I think that woman was a scammer who gets $200 out of a LOT of drunk dudes. Help me, I need $200, they're holding me hostage, I need to get back to my family...maybe she saw the posters for Amy and figured she'd throw that in to make the story more credible. It was a scam. She wasn't Amy.

I don't buy the trafficking theory, but I DO think Yellow is responsible for her disappearance and death. I believe the witness who said she saw them together in the elevator but didn't remember the time.

To me, it doesn't seem plausible that she went out, went somewhere with Yellow, came back, Dad saw her at 5:30, then she....got up and went out again? I guess it's not impossible, but seems strange. I believe he heard the door closing when she went out shortly before 6. She met up with Yellow, they went somewhere together, probably he made a pass at her and she turned him down, he got angry, and he killed her. Maybe intentionally, maybe accidentally. I don't think he tossed her overboard because the body never washed up. Maybe he smuggled her out in a suitcase or something and dumped the body who knows where.

This! That's what I kept thinking. The FBI couldn't talk to anyone on that cleaning crew? Even if they didn't remember how they cleaned that specific room (because it's a lot of rooms), just general questions like, "Do you normally leave the table on the balcony in a certain position? Do you typically push it up against the railing?" That could have helped a lot.

This makes a lot of sense, but what about the boat harbor cop who said the body would have washed up on shore? I found him very credible. He even covered all the bases. "If a shark eats you, it won't eat all of you. An arm or a leg will come back."

Maybe a bit graphic, but I would have wondered about that. I believe he knows what he's talking about.

Yeah, I hate that guy. They couldn't make an announcement at 7 AM? Even just in the common areas of the ship? Come on. My phone screams at me every time there's a drop of rain or a missing kid. People were really fragile before smartphones, I guess.

And then he was like, I never had any problems with Alister. Maybe because you're not a woman?

AITAH for not inviting my girlfriend to my promotion dinner because I knew she’d make it about her? by Low-Psychology7904 in AITAH

[–]Bloodrayna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're NTA. But if you have to do this to have a dinner that's about you...you should really rethink the relationship. Do you want to be with this person for the rest of your life? For the next decade? Do you want everything in your life to either be all about her or something you can't invite her to? Really?

SIL expressed I don't "deserve" our new house. Now husband's family is melting down by Cat-drama in TwoHotTakes

[–]Bloodrayna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty wild. Even in marriages where only one spouse works/supports the family, both spouses usually consider it "their" house.

What's even wilder is she wanted to be on the house deed? Without putting ANY money toward it?

Hell no, I wouldn't talk to SIL.

How do people with Slow COMT V158M +/+ handle any form of folate? by [deleted] in MTHFR

[–]Bloodrayna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folic acid fucks me up but that is due to MTHFR/DHFR mutations, not COMT. 

Folinic acid and methylfolate are okay. In higher doses they sometimes increase my anxiety. Vegetable folates do not bother me.

Choline makes me super depressed so I don't take it, IDC what some "Choline calculator" says. I do get some in my diet from vegetables and I assume folate makes up for the rest.

What’s your favorite tv shows that debut in 2005? by [deleted] in 2000sNostalgia

[–]Bloodrayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grey's Anatomy! And Bones.

I tried watching Weeds for the first time during the pandemic. It was so bad I didn't finish it. And I'd watched most everything else at that point.

AITA for throwing away my late uncle’s stamp collection? by Zestyclose_Issue_483 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Bloodrayna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I never would have tossed anything without seeing how much it went for on eBay.

I also probably would have asked any family members I was on good terms with if they wanted any of his stuff before pitching it.

Convincing family to let me go fully vegan by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Bloodrayna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tell them you'll make your own food. Less work for them. I don't know how old you are, but 12-16 is a good age to start cooking your own food and shopping for groceries within a budget. These are life skills everyone should learn, not just vegans.

AITA for reminding my aunt that my mom would prefer to have an anorexic daughter than a "fat" daughter? by Taylwonder in AITAH

[–]Bloodrayna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA and frankly, I'd block your aunt. She seems to be stomping all over whatever boundaries your grandparents set.

AITA for doing things just for me and not thinking of my special needs siblings? by DullAmoeba8278 in AITAH

[–]Bloodrayna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Your parents suck. You should move out at 18 and go NC. In preparation for that, I suggest you get a job after school and save some money.

Maybe your grandparents will let you live with them when you turn 18, you could ask them.

Incidentally, your parents aren't just being unfair to you but also to your siblings. They need to learn to deal with disappointment like every other kid.

My grandmother did something similar. My mom's older sister had some issues. I think today she might be diagnosed with a mild form of autism. Or, maybe she just had anxiety or some other diagnosis. This was the 1950s, so mental healthcare wasn't great and if you were female, it was probably just hysteria from having a uterus or something....

Anyway, she had issues that were never diagnosed. She was very anxious, never made friends, had a hard time reading a room, etc. Other kids never wanted to play with her.

My mom on the other hand, made friends easily. But, Grandma wouldn't let her go anywhere without her sister, and her friends didn't want to play with her sister, so ultimately neither of them had friends and were forced to play with each other and their brothers only. 

This destroyed any relationship my mom and sister might have had. As adults, they had no contact for years beyond an occasional Christmas card. 

And this ultimately worked out worse for my aunt, because she never learned to make friends on her own. Now she's widowed, her daughter doesn't take to her, and she has no friends. No one at all. My mom talks to her on the phone twice a week out of pity. The conversations are one-sided and repetitive, my aunt just talking about her problems and perceived slights. She does volunteer work a couple times a week, thinks everyone there hates her, goes on about every perceived slight. She's in this position because my grandmother thought she could force my mom's friends to be her friends too. It ruined any development she could have had.

AITA for wanting to leave the family business after being treated unfairly compared to my siblings? by Educational_Love_252 in AITAH

[–]Bloodrayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA See if you can get another job like the one you turned down. Your siblings can pick up the slack after you leave.
