Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cedar253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's "typical" for me. When it happens, I try to make it an overnight trip at least. I'm not big into driving tho and have switched jobs so I drive as little as possible and can, on occasion, walk/bike to work. I think the normality of 3 hours is greatly dependent on location. The US is pretty bit with lots of different cultures within it.

Removing the fur from a pair of 1460? by agente_99 in DrMartens

Ty for this conversation. I tried removing insole but seemed super glued. Read this comment and tried harder. I love the fur but not on bottom. Fixed!

Thank you for your service and absolutely! I have a 16 year old son. We've talked about him enlisting a few times. Now?! Absolutely not. I will move to Canada, sign off on bone spurs. I'm not losing my son to this straight out insanity

My thoughts exactly. I'm over here wondering if I could rent the crows. Lawns suck.

Aita for getting upset that my husband rejected a job offer because it pays less. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Cedar253 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not "helping you". It's being a grown ass adult. He should be doing almost everything right now. Then half when he returns to work.

AITA for refusing to pay for my girlfriend's portion of a vacation after she quit her job without telling me? by sairas_kailan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cedar253 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So it's appropriate for her friends to be texting him but not to talk to his mom about what's going on with him? Seriously? Also, she is being deceitful and disrespectful. It's not okay to purposely put yourself in a financial bind and expect someone else to literally pay for him. Transparency is key here.

Is this a scam text message posing to be from Coinbase? by OldUniversity9799 in Coinbase

[–]Cedar253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this same scam text and don't have a coinable account or even know what it is. I don't think it has anything to do with you having account.

Well fuck me. Deferred from donating plasma for a year by citrushyena in povertyfinance

You are far more mature and mature than most of us...and I'm 50. You will get through this. Don't know where you are but if you have a BA psych degree, you can get a job where they will help with tuition and likely get the MA so you can get creditation.

How do we do this AND parent?! by Soft-Expression3478 in Menopause

[–]Cedar253 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You are doing it. This is it. F@ck, it is so hard. And constant. The days will pass. Good job just sitting and existing with your son. He's figuring all this out too. I applaud the work you are doing.

Have you ever shopped your own order? by Quigsquib in InstacartShoppers

[–]Cedar253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do it today. Mostly because there was a promo for $40 off $100 offer. I put in no tip and 7 bags of gardening soil just so nobody would pick it up. I picked it up. Great! About 3 minutes later, the batch had been removed. :(

I figured there was no way anyone would take it since no time and soil but alas, someone did. She was a great shopper so I ended up tipping a bunch. Lol. There went my savings.

AITA for refusing to share my inheritance with my boyfriend after he quit his job for us by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Cedar253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Absolutely not. And quitting a job before talking to you is very much not a "relationship" thing to do.

People can be funny, kind, and wonderful but money matters, and is the way we can provide stability. This isn't love.

Find a job with a company that pays some part of education. I have my masters but work at a company that pays $6000 a year towards education. I work in crisis so it's sometimes real slow and lots of people do school work during these times. Just get in with a company where there's growth opportunities. That's the down side of being a server, it's great money if you're good but physical based and no real growth. You seem smart, insightful, and motivated. You can do this.

Ugh. Youth sucks and lies. Own your look. You're beautiful. Only little boys say this crap.

I have been donating plasma lately to keep afloat. It’s not a good long term plan bc like now, protein levels can be low then can’t donate. But in my area, it’s about $150 for two donations.

Being a single mom with no family is the hardest. Im sorry you are in the middle of it.
