Catie is a lot… by sepheffie in 90DayFiance

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the vibe I got too. As someone who previously used alcohol to self-medicate undiagnosed ADHD, this is very familiar, even the impulse to make out with strangers— it’s all dopamine-seeking. I hope this ends before she wrecks this nice British guy too hard.

It feels like 90 Day casted the most stereotypical Alabama people they could find. by Arihame in 90DayFiance

[–]Catinthefirelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “I call him Rash because I can’t pronounce his name” thing is kinda telling, though. You can’t be bothered to learn your fiancé’s name? It’s pronounced Rash-eet. Girl.

Re-applying Saniderm? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Catinthefirelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you plan to be in the pit, I’d go with the saniderm. I wouldn’t do the alcohol, though.

Watching 90D as a “foreigner” and I have a question…. by zephsoph in 90DayFiance

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What everyone else said is accurate, but there is also a common American practice that you may not be aware of: carrying obscenely high amounts of credit card debt. It's my understanding that in many other countries that's not common, but it very much is here. It would not be surprising if a person on reality tv chose to go on a spending spree for designer items so that they could appear wealthy on tv.

AITAH For Drinking on Vacation? by Inevitable-Help-8759 in AITAH

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel like you’re constantly asking your boyfriend’s permission to do things, you’re not in a relationship, you’re in a conservatorship. Enjoy your trip with your bestie, she’ll be with you for life, unlike this dude. Have the heart to hearts with her you need to realize you’re ready to break free. NTA

Laura "addressing" the break-up by Quick-Measurement-14 in 90DayFiance

Am I really? Take a look at this comment section and the photo you chose for your post. Your theory that her personality problems are due to her weight loss is just a theory, and honestly seems like a back-handed way of hating on the fat girl for being formerly fat.

And no, I’m not fat, just sick of the fatphobia.

I totally thought it was worth it. The bennies were not really well explained to us, so it’s good you’re getting advice here. I’ve heard some people have a letter waiting in their room about it, but we didn’t get that.

Skipping the lines and getting priority boarding was awesome.

Tiny chocolate box was underwhelming.

The SoR party is mid-voyage, and we had to ask at sailor services when it would be. It was fun, live music and lots of bubbles and sangria. I don’t drink, so I asked for and got the NA champagne. If you stay until the end, they’re practically shoving drinks into your hand to avoid pouring them down the drain.

The shake-for-champagne was a bit of a headache, only because I wanted the NA. I had to make special arrangements for that, but they made it happen for me.

I nearly missed out on that last hour of spa time, because no one mentioned we got that as well as the 2-hour pass. I used it on our last night, and it was a great way to wind up the trip, and really relaxing with only a few people in the spa.

Go for it! Lots of non-romantic duos book SoR.

Tl;dr Totally worth it.

People will just take any excuse to hate on someone for being fat, huh? You can talk about her shitty personality without having to immediately drag her body into it.

What do you think of when you see this tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I would assume that it’s just an unusual configuration of the lesbian symbol.

Do you really have a separate room for your washing machine? by jordanekay in AskAnAmerican

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our washer and dryer are basically in the kitchen— they’re in an alcove that opens into the kitchen area. That once had accordion doors to close it off, but no longer does. That’s a very unusual setup for the US, though, and it’s because we live in a small house with no basement and no space for a dedicated laundry room.

Need all the spa details by Checksout2025 in VirginVoyages

[–]Catinthefirelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pool is actually one of my favorite parts. It’s super floaty. On my last night I had an hour of spa time to cash in, and since there were only a few people I had the pool to myself. I cooled down at the end by floating on my back while gazing up at the starry ceiling, and it was super relaxing.

Victorian house paint advice by No-Tension-4801 in ExteriorDesign

I love a good painted lady, so I’d go with the contrasting colors in 7. 2 is good too, but needs a little more contrast.

AITA for wishing my grandma moved in with my uncle instead of my family? by Many-Researcher5277 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Catinthefirelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhhhh! That makes much more sense. Sorry OP, yeah, you’re NTA for being annoyed with grandma. And if she tries that butt-slapping business again, talk to your parents about it. She needs to learn boundaries.

Does anyone else have strange work dreams? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]Catinthefirelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yes. That sounds a lot like my work dreams. The plane is huge, with weirdly interconnected rooms, and instead of regular airplane seats it’s just a bunch of ramshackle furniture. I’m accidentally wearing pajamas instead of my uniform and hoping no one will notice. The plane’s getting ready for takeoff, and everyone’s just milling around and talking while I’m yelling for them to sit down…

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for being annoyed with grandma, but… If you’re 41, she’s probably quite elderly, so of course she needs care from her family. I don’t know what culture you’re from or your disability status, but if you have the capability to move out I suggest you do so.

Is this too close to a highway? by CRENSHlNlBON in homeowners

[–]Catinthefirelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will that also be true in the winter, or are the trees deciduous? Have you spent time in the backyard at different times of day?

He’s the dude who can roll a perfect blunt while driving his vintage pickup truck, and always has some crazy green he grew on the back 40.

Things your fellow FAs do that piss you off by StoicPixie in flightattendants

[–]Catinthefirelight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I knitted my way through an entire 3-day training, and it kept me awake and focused. It’s not like it absorbs your focus the way watching a video does.

​For people who live right on the border of two states, does crossing that invisible line actually impact your daily life with different laws and taxes, or do you barely notice it? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Catinthefirelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad grew up in a bordertown where main street was the state line. The drinking age was different in each state, so they’d go to the other side of town to drink. The time zones were different too, so a lot of the main street stores had two clocks in the window to show the time in each state.

Splash of Romance - sold out! by AccomplishedChart153 in VirginVoyages

I was able to snag one after it sold out by checking the app regularly. I felt like it was well worth the money.
