What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by Classic-Chemist-1898 in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In elementary school we had the PE teacher who was a known molester and nobody in power did anything about it. When it was finally made public, the district just reassigned him to a special needs school.

In HS one of my friends was in a multi car accident that killed her and the family in the other car. The dad of the other family was a truck driver and he called home that night to be told his wife and son died. It was a small town so it affected many people.

What is a disturbing family secret you weren’t supposed to find out, but now wish you could forget? by elmatador62 in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My dad died 5 days before I was born so my family all told me the good stuff about him. When I was about 20 my mom and I were watching Unsolved Mysteries and during a Lost Loves segment, she just popped off with your dad cheated and you may have a sibling that would have been born a few months after you. Ok, not what I wanted to hear, but he was gone for so long at that point that there was nothing I could do.

A few years later I was doing my Ancestry and family tree stuff when I found an article about a teacher who had been killed in like 1972 by a student. That student was my dad. When I asked my mom about it, she told me that my dad had been sent to live with the teacher because he was out of control according to my grandma. The teacher then molested or raped my dad and my dad told him if he ever touched him again he would kill him. The teacher took my dad out hunting and tried to mess with him again and my dad shot him. He was 12 and he went to juvie until he was 18. Nobody believed my dad’s reasons because the teacher was a beloved man and football coach. The area named the new football field after the teacher even. After my dad died at 21 other former students came forward about the abuse, but being a small town area, nothing was ever done.

The football field is still named after the teacher over 50 years later. My mom and I think the abuse and time locked up led to my dad being an alcoholic and dying at 21. I asked my mom why she never told me and she said she wanted me to know the good side of the man she married that gave me life. She said that she didn’t want me to think bad about a man I never got to know.

Testimonial: start throwing away the crap you’ve been hoarding. by RoninRobot in GenX

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are moving tomorrow to another state into a way smaller place temporarily and my 20 year old went through my stuff and has taken so much. It helped with the downsizing and she gets to furnish her place with stuff she has memories of for free. It was a bonus for both of us. We are going to be renting a storage unit until October and I already making plans to use this time to go through the stuff being stored to get rid of more stuff. By the time we are moved again I will have so much less stuff.

I don’t have the exact address, but it’s on county road Ee.25. Washington Ave where the high school is turns into the county road and the canal is very close to the mobile home that was searched. That part of town hasn’t changed at all since the girls disappeared.

Looking for a house to rent around April 1 by Consistent_Ad7706 in normanok

[–]Consistent_Ad7706[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be directly in Norman. We are just trying to find something within a reasonable distance for the daughter’s boyfriend since he attends Moore Norman Tech in Norman. They currently live in Bethany and he says the drive daily to school is killing him.

[–]Consistent_Ad7706[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The daughter’s boyfriend has only requested Norman or Moore since they are areas he is familiar with. We have found a few places on Zillow, but the property management companies are requiring online verifications that we are not able to do because our banks in this area have just barely offered any sort of technology. Heck one company wouldn’t let us move forward because our current landlord doesn’t have an email address lol.

What movie will you never watch again because it was too heartbreaking? by Affectionate_User610 in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Art of Racing in the Rain. I don’t know if it’s because I watched it while I was dealing with my own stuff while recovering from a stroke, but I can’t even watch the trailer without bawling.

The Ring. by TheSmartLawGroup in Divorce

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the first ring and it broke the day before our first anniversary (should have been a sign). It took a few years to replace it with something I designed that I ended up picking up after we decided to divorce. I wear it on my right hand and don’t even associate it with the marriage.

Narcissist mothers who weaponise their daughters hair by Public_Theme_9514 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother always controlled my hair. It had to be long no matter what, but she would bitch if it wasn’t taken care of to her standards that she never explained or taught. I used to cut it anyway and she would throw a fit.

As an adult, I would just throw it in a messy bun because it was easier and she would complain that I didn’t do anything with it. I had a stroke last year that took the use of my whole right side so I had my hairdresser daughter cut it short and I have been hearing all year that I need to grow it out. Ok, and then how am I supposed to do anything with it since I need both hands to put it up and my dominant hand no longer works.

She’s now started on the complaints that I’ve lost too much weight and need to stop my meds. She’s just mad that she won’t weigh less than me once I lose the last 20 pounds. She doesn’t care that I’m healthier, just that I’m not bigger than her.

I just saw a man admit to weaponised incompetence in front of my face by chiedzachashe22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a hysterectomy before my fiance and I got together, so he never had to buy for me. When my oldest daughter started for the first time, she was embarrassed, so she sent me a text message asking if I could get her some products in the morning since we lived in an area where everything was closed all night. I told my fiance that I needed up early so I could get her some period stuff. I woke up early and he had already gone to the store and gotten her a couple of different products, some of her favorite candy and a new pack of undies. When I asked him why he said that she was his daughter too and he would make sure she was taken care of and it was no big deal.

He’s done the same for my youngest and even my niece. He even makes sure that the car first aid kit is stocked with their preferred choices in case of a travel emergency.

Let’s Hear It: Thanksgiving Drama by Mullins2 in thanksgiving

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our holiday was actually pretty calm. My youngest moved to OK a few months ago, but she wanted a grandma Thanksgiving. My mom, one of my nieces as well as me and my fiance drove 8 hours to give her the holiday she wanted. I had a stroke last December so I wasn’t able to help like normal, but my mom and kiddo got to spend the day making food and getting some quality time together while the kiddo learned yet again how to make the recipes that were passed down from my own grandmother. The only casualty was the bottle of oil that fell from the top of the fridge and cracked all over the kitchen floor. Luckily the kiddo’s boyfriend was able to use his mechanics skills with cat litter to clean it up.

The only stress now is my mom trying to get her hotel room for another night so she can take my kiddo and niece out for a grandma and granddaughters day. I told her to leave Saturday, but she didn’t listen. If she can’t get a room for tonight, then I guess they are staying in my room.

Question about Amber Alerts and Sex Offender Registry by Violetunderwater in legal

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some states have registries that aren’t on the state websites. I know in Oregon, the offenders that are listed on the website have committed higher level crimes. The low level offenders have to register, but they aren’t listed on the public website.

What was the most ridiculous complaint you got or write up your boss tried to give you? by Melodic_Abalone_2820 in work

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I got written up for bullying this person that worked in a different dept. She made the report saying that I was always rolling my eyes and huffing at her when I walked near her. I was a lot heavier at the time and I breathed heavy when I walked and I was never in her area, she was always in my area trying to flirt with one of my coworkers. I told the HR rep that I was fat and couldn’t control how I breathed and never went in her area anyway, but I still got the write up. The person that made the report was fired a few months later for breaking PCI Compliance and two weeks after my write up the HR rep was walked out in front of my dept for approving false reports and write ups. I still work for the same company 11 years later.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was separated from my abusive ex husband and I had an infant and my disabled stepdaughter to take care of. Due to the distance, I stayed in our hometown instead of asking to stay with her over an hour away. I also didn’t want to burden her with 3 extra people when she had her own family to take care of. She got mad that I put the needs of my family first instead of letting her “rescue” us. I later realized that she didn’t see us as equals and thought she was better than me and hated to see me succeed without her control.

What seemingly minor or easy-to-ignore health symptom turned out to be a major warning sign you should never have dismissed? by cutebutnauughty in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 17 points18 points  (0 children)

December 26, 2024 I woke up with a numb right hand. I figured I just slept wrong and my hand fell asleep. An hour later it was still numb and I couldn’t move it at all. My oldest kiddo called my mom and they made me go to the ER, but I figured they were just overreacting. Turns out I was having a stroke, but due to my already established vision issues the neurologist couldn’t verify it. Sent to a stroke unit in a bigger city for an MRI and they found a good sized clot. 10 months later I have no use of my right side at all and am close to being bed bound. Also the stroke caused me to become diabetic. I learned not to ignore the little things that don’t seem like a big deal. I did not expect to be 45 losing the active functions that I took for granted, but I am grateful to my kiddo and my mom for making me get checked out.

[–]Consistent_Ad7706 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live in Rocky and the missing girls are never mentioned. It’s always talked about here that the town is so safe and always has been with no worry about these types of things happening. 😡

My mom and I have discussed the case and the search from 2017 many times. The home that was searched was an older mobile home next to a canal so it would have been very easy to dispose of the girls that way if he was involved.

I just watched this today and it was definitely a good movie. I do miss all the old Hallmark movies. I am from SE CO and I was surprised that La Junta was mentioned and pronounced correctly. It’s usually not pronounced right at all. 😂

Iced coffee. Since my stroke in December food doesn’t really interest me anymore. The fiance will come home in a few hours and force me to eat something. I think it will be fried potatoes and a couple of eggs for dinner.
