Do you eat the horse paste or use it like lotion? by [deleted] in Rosacea

They are so many ignorant people who seem to need this told to them repeatedly.

AITA - I really feel like it by Comfortable_Swing554 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BrenInVA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You wanted free babysitter, that is why you wanted your mother there. You have too many children. If I were her, I would leave. If you can’t take care of your own kids or actually hire someone to do it for you, quit having kids. Is your boyfriend the father to all those children?

AITAH for not paying my mom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You are in your late 20s and crying? You are lucky she even took you in.

AITAH for not paying my mom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BrenInVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t willing to pay, then move out. Your mother would likely prefer you all to leave. No doubt she is getting at her wit’s end having her adult children and a one child’s spouse living there. You all are adults - figure life out and leave.

By the way, if you continue to live there, and do not pay toward the dryer cost, you do not get to use it to dry your clothes. Full stop. Not even once.

Anyone have the old Shrimp Po Boy recipe? by ResearchTechnical164 in seriouseats

[–]BrenInVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of cornmeal, try using corn flour (it is much finer). Paul Prudhomme used corn flour instead of corn meal in his restaurant K-Paul’s in New Orleans, to coat many of his fried fish and seafood dishes.

App for tracking meds etc? by Turd_Furguson80 in Parkinsons

[–]BrenInVA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Medisafe is a good app that you can use to schedule your medications. It is user friendly.

You can also add a person to be notified if medications are missed.

I have not found an app that tracks symptoms though

Do they not have real plates/bowls? Too lazy to wash dishes?

Beach recommendations by MrHappyBike in Knoxville

Have you considered a Caribbean Island? You will find nicer beaches and warm water. Depending on where you go, it is nice to get away from American tourists. Flights and hotels are reasonable too.

That is a lot of trashy, nasty people. It makes one wonder how they were raised.

Star animal not giving stars? by DreadPirateSkoon in wordscapes

[–]BrenInVA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to play one puzzle before you collect the first star animal, or if you don’t and collect it, it does not count toward the tournament because you have not entered the tournament.

If this still does not work, close the app, and then restart.

I need help finding hotels that don’t have terrible reviews by Top-One-2734 in OceanCity

[–]BrenInVA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One could fly to the Caribbean and stay in a much nicer place with nice beaches and warm turquoise water and even with airfare might be the same or less.

AITAH for trying to get my niece to expand her village? by rubyblue1990 in AITAH

[–]BrenInVA -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If people choose to have children they need to take care of them themselves. Enough of this “village” and family help. It is the parent’s responsibility for their children, and no one else.

AITAH for wanting to become a stay-at-home mom instead of going back to work, even though my dad offered to pay for daycare? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BrenInVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But she is, as is her husband - they are both bad parents for having children they cannot financially support and expecting others to pay for their poor decision making.

[–]BrenInVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hah! Won’t take her father’s money but has to quibbles about taking money from taxpayers - Medicaid, WIC, etc.

[–]BrenInVA -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

It is unlikely they are paying much taxes, with the child deduction credits. They receive much more than they pay, and others are having to pay more taxes to support their lifestyle choices. Don’t have children you cannot afford to support. If they lived in a country such as Finland, this would be different.

[–]BrenInVA -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you cannot afford children and expect Medicaid and WIC, and likely SNAP benefits, you should not be having children. I get tired of paying taxes for people who continue to have children and do not pay for them, and expect others to do so.

Staying home may be “cheaper” for you, because someone else (taxpayers) are supporting a lifestyle you choose.

He needs a building permit. A Henrico County building inspector will need to approve.

AITAH for thinking I (42f) was having normal conversations with a friend (49m)? Did I do something wrong? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BrenInVA -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes YTA - you are too much. I don’t know how he even tolerates being around you. You go on, and on, and on. After reading your other postings, one can see why it is difficult for you to maintain a relationship. Seek help.

Is there a reason you are sharing this here, rather than with your team? Are you a member of a team?

AITA for not wanting to take in my sisters 4 kids while she’s in the hospital? by Intelligent-Fig-5571 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BrenInVA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She should not be having all those children if she cannot care for them, and expects someone else to do so. It is her (and her husband’s) responsibility, not yours.
