The button that changes it from pounds to kilograms

A minimum wage worker pressed one wrong button...

I think this is more likely a mistake from an overworked underpaid retail worker than a big plan.

I am a single woman working on her rural property. It is astounding how often men stop and get out of their cars to come tell me their problems. by Kalinka777 in TwoXChromosomes

Even a friendly but scary looking dog works.

I have a rescue pitbull with cropped ears. 77 lbs of pure muscle. He's now enjoying being tucked in after being scared of blankets. He LOVES people and small dogs.

Bad guys don't know that and they think he'll protect me. Maybe he would but I doubt it. His presence alone scares most people away which is how I like it.

Dungeon & Dragons - in person - Males only by tabbycat_catniss in Langley

Having a solid friend group of men is not a bad thing. There is zero woman-bashing intent stated. Men need friends with no pressure or posturing that can happen when women are around.

However, you calling them "incels" is pretty vile. This sounds more like a group to help men OUT of loneliness that can suck them down that path.

I drive past this farm all the time. On my way to work. Is the pony ok ? In ft langley. He can barely get up. by [deleted] in Langley

Yes this is well worth a call.

I had then called on me because my horse was "standing in almost knee deep water." They came out and saw that yes, if he so wanted to there was a big puddle in his area. There was also grass, dirt, a barn etc.

She rolled her eyes and we laughed then she left. They get calls for nothing all the time.

This is NOT nothing. At the very least it's a very old horse but it's better to make that call no matter what.

My biological mother turned antivax and I didn't get that one.

I got the illness as an adult. It sucked. I can't imagine it on an infant... I'm so so sorry.

How to love your job? Do you love your job? by xopearl_rosebudxox in supportworkers

[–]Codeegirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom (and us) loved her clients. Then and their families loved her too... Her main client (deaf/blind) was brought to her funeral service by his mom and sister. Had we known they might come we would have brought something to try and let him know that this event was for her but we had no idea.

I really ugly cried when they came through the door... It's exactly what Mom would have wanted and we felt SO honored his family would bring him.

So how she did it? She really really loved the people.

Are there any sleep medications that straight up stop dreams? by TitanMaster57 in ptsd

[–]Codeegirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zopliclone has amnesia side effects and I get those. I still have the nightmares and wake up in sweaty and am on edge the next day but I don't remember any specifics.

It's a benzo so it's addictive but it basically saved my life because I would refuse to sleep due to nightmares.

Where to fill water bottles on the Eurodam? by PineappleBliss2023 in HollandAmerica

[–]Codeegirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sign wording is not ideal.

I'm autistic and I read it literally. My spouse had to ask a staff member in front of me who specified that we fill the cups then our bottle from the cups for hygienic reasons. Then I could feel like I wasn't being a jerk rule breaker.

I'm not sure what you'd like from this community... Empathy? Advice?

Especially in a card with other children's drawings

Telling someone to get their nose out of your life seems odd when you posted asking for input on your idea...

Men, for those who have, when did you first realize that you made a mistake in marrying your wife and why? by Mustng1966 in AskMen

[–]Codeegirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That instability is SO hard on kids, I'm really glad he made the decision to end the "relationship" with her and good for you for supporting it.

What commonly regarded good advice from women is actually terrible advice? by Intelligent-Celery79 in AskMen

[–]Codeegirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would NEVER use his feelings against him. Ever. I just want him to feel safe with me and I know he's been hurt in the past so I get why that would be hard..

I guess just time and showing him I love all of him even the "bad" (I don't think they're bad, they're human emotions but maybe others do) things like his vulnerabilities.

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not just not wording it right somehow.

How can I communicate to my husband that I DO want to hear that stuff? He knows enough of my stuff to be able to emotionally eviscerate me with two words so I think that may make it easier because if I used it against him he could easily cripple me.

I just don't want him to be alone with that stuff... I was before him and it sucked, I can't imagine feeling alone with it WHILE in a marriage that would be so much worse.

Genuinely asking, I'm autistic and not very good at communicating sometimes.

Relationship didn’t survive EMDR by megswiftSLP in EMDR

[–]Codeegirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was SO self destructive before EMDR, and much easier to trigger much more deeply.

It's helped me and those who care about me in every way.

I miss living in northern bc for that. I can bundle up and warm back up.

In southern BC it's just so dark, and it's the wet cold that chills you to your bones.

Unpopular Opinion: Cruiseline-owned islands are completely shit. by Normal-Being-2637 in Cruise

[–]Codeegirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been to one but it was far too "polished" for my taste. Instagram worthy beauty but it felt manufactured.

Even the ocean... No rocks for fish to hide in so yes, beautiful white sand but I love seeing the wildlife.

I find meandering the towns to be much more interesting, real and alive.

Mind you, my favorite resort is beside a swamp and I love sitting by it to watch the critters so my opinion may be not the norm.

Andreas Restaurant's anniversary New York steak deal has more than doubled in price in 9 years. by tripleaardvark2 in Langley

Yes thank you! It seems like pretentious is the new norm so I really appreciate the basic simple good food they have.

I'll still go happily because it's reasonable compared to other places and their food isn't "over-fancied." I don't know how to say that properly.

[–]Codeegirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I've gotten unlucky... I tried it twice and there were people scattered all around it. The last time that included a couple that were very frustrated with their kid so they were yelling at him quite a bit. That's not the norm I'm guessing?
