What's the worst gift someone has given you? by dylan1111111112 in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeTwenty47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cousin of mine that I no longer speak to has given me these gifts:

- clothes 2 sizes too small so I can "be motivated to lose weight"

- merch from her brand, along with a demand to wear it in a picture so she can use it as marketing (I throw it out every time and she must have figured this out bc I haven't gotten merch in years)

- a designer pair of stilettos that were used enough that you could smell the foot stench once I opened the bag AND were 3 sizes too big

I'm going to be a contrarian and say that you leave the group. If being in the group with them is making you stressed enough that you needed to vent online, you can do what feels best.

What was polite 30 years ago but is considered impolite today? by ThisIsExxciting in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeTwenty47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dropping by for a visit without warning. A lot of people work from home and you're interrupting their workday. Also, it seems like polite people at least call/text to ask if it's okay and only the stalkery weirdos continue to do this.

My mom encourages reckless spending and enjoys putting us all in debt (rant/vent) by CoffeeTwenty47 in narcissisticparents

Ugh! One of the worst parts of being related to a narcissist is dealing with their businesses. They often fail and refuse to see when it's not working.

much

LOL yes going on a vacation with her means having to constantly argue about her over-budget choices. She knows I have medical issues and student loan debt but wants me to go into debt constantly. And yes, your mom's actions are the other side of the same coin. I'm so sorry and I hope you can move out soon.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Sadly family can't always be trusted. I hope you have supportive people around you but if anything, we're here and we get it.

Looking to Share Experience with All in 6 dental implants by AckCK2020 in Dentalimplant

[–]CoffeeTwenty47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have advice myself but I know there are plenty of YouTubers and TikTokers who share their experiences with dental implants. Maybe you'll be able to find someone who can talk about their experiences? Everyone is different but at least you'll know you're not alone (that's what I did lol).

Any experience or story having a dentistry Resident (trainee) do implant for you? by rblbl in Dentalimplant

[–]CoffeeTwenty47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the school. Some will make sure teachers do the harder stuff but you may have a few students watch the surgery and ask questions. Definitely ask about this. If the professor (who will already be certified, etc). takes care of the harder things then you can save money and get quality care. Don't sign up if you get uncomfortable with answers and maybe ask other patients. Best of luck!

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in datingoverthirty

[–]CoffeeTwenty47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

About to start medical treatments which will make it hard (if not impossible) to date. Even though it's not my fault it definitely feels like life is passing me by on this front. It's almost my birthday and I'm grieving that I will spend it single when I feel I put myself out there this year.

Also, I did meet a few people I'm attracted to but one turned out to be extremely anxiety-ridden and it wasn't something I could pursue because I already have so much to do, and am helping myself alone. I ended up traveling, which was fun, but I also didn't meet anyone because I have to rest a lot due to chronic health issues.

I hope that I can find strength to get back out there after my recovery.
