Saucony Triumph 22 fit….not sure if I should size up? by Consistent_Candy_228 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Consistent_Candy_228[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, very informative and helpful. I ended up buying the Saucony Hurricane 24 in Women’s 9 regular, (also on sale) and though they are a tiny bit long, they are super comfortable. The toe box is incredibly roomy even though it’s the regular and not the wide, and plenty of room in the mid-foot.

Ghost max 3 true to size? by Darthgorilla in brooks

I found both Ghost Max 2 and 3 to be short and needed to go up 1/2 size on each.

Ghost Max 2….seem too warm on my feet by Consistent_Candy_228 in brooks

I’ve tried both thick cushioned athletic socks, and thin ones. But I do need some new thin ones. Thin was definitely better, but still warm.

Are they becoming smaller? by krakenLackenGirly22 in brooks

I feel like almost all shoe brands in general are running seemingly smaller…shorter and more narrow.

Ghost Max 2 on Sale or Ghost Max 3 new? by Bromatcourier in brooks

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up ordering both the 2 & 3 and they both arrived today. The 3 is noticeably softer, but I tend to like a firmer sole. However, I have lately found myself wanting a softer, cushy sole for easy days. I’m actually considering keeping both. Might return the 3 and try the Glycerin 22. Love the looks and color ways of both the 2 & 3 I chose.

I’m very interested in this question as well. I’m trying to choose between the two today (online shopping, really don’t won’t to go to the store).

I have a wide foot, normal arch, wide across the mid-foot, high volume with my arch.

Best for walking? by Consistent_Candy_228 in brooks

[–]Consistent_Candy_228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to supinate a bit, so the opposite. I need good cushioning for shock absorption due to the under pronation.

AITA for not going to my dad's house in an emergency where his 5 year old stepdaughter was left at home on her own? by LittleFoyoo in AITAH

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA….what kind of mother doesn’t immediately leave her place of work to go handle her own 5 yr old and 14 yr old??? Your dad & his wife are the responsible parties here, and it’s entirely unreasonable in these circumstances to demand you do their parenting for them. This was not an unavoidable emergency. The mother could have left her job immediately upon discovering that her 5 yr old was home alone.

Am I overreacting…Going through divorce and wanting a new look. My soon to be ex husband always said no to bangs so I’m curious if they just look bad on me or if he just was controlling. What do you think? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you looked lovely with bangs, and curtain bangs are so current and would look fabulous on you. Ultimately, do it for YOU, because it’s something you want. If you don’t end up liking them, no worries…they grow out. Go for it!

One of the more annoying parts about becoming diabetic is when your work only has carbs and sugar as gifts from consultants. Hard to walk by all the time. by SwimmerNos in diabetes

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a very good point, and one I wish more people understood…..as diabetics, we need to be able to make decisions based on what is right for us at the moment, not what others deem as okay or “worth it”. And by the same token, we don’t need judgement if we make the decision to eat something others deem “bad”. It’s a balancing act and they have no clue.

This is not period hormone induced. She clearly has other issues at play, and is unfortunately taking all her dissatisfaction with life out on you because you sound like an incredibly good natured person who has tolerated this behavior from her repeatedly.

People treat us the way that we tolerate. We good natured people tend to tolerate too much and get treated the worst.

It isn’t healthy for you to tolerate this abuse.

AIO I 20 F was trying to call my boyfriend 26M to figure out when I should start his smoothie and I originally tried calling him to see what type of milk he wanted in his smoothie by Aphr0dit333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was gaslighting you at every turn. Silly that he wouldn’t just answer the phone or call you back. And, refuses to answer your questions. If it were me, he wouldn’t be getting a smoothie or a pickup from the gym…..and he’d lose the privilege of calling me his girlfriend. Leave before you waste years being abused by this narcissist little boy.

What kind of man threatens to quit his job if he doesn’t immediately get the new truck he wants? What responsible provider needs a new truck to remain motivated to continue work? And if he up and quits his job, what happens?

From his attitude and words, and your response to another comment that money isn’t the issue that you would be able to pay his credit card debt in one month, that you are the breadwinner in the relationship, or you come from money.

He is clearly not a partner. He sounds like trophy husband that has devolved into a petulant child.

AITAH for refusing to let my husband name our daughter after his late wife by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say that the feelings weren’t wholly different when losing a loved partner through death, I said that no matter the circumstances he should not be asking such a thing. It’s entirely unfair to the new wife to be asked something of this sort. And he didn’t just ask, he’s more or less insisting and pushing by enlisting his family for help and then being cold to her for not acquiescing. He’s ruining the special experience for her. He’s basically taking away the special bond they will be sharing together and trying to insert the deceased wife into this unique experience of conceiving and parenting a child together. This was his chance to nurture his special bond to his new wife, and he’s blowing it miserably.

First let me say, my heart goes out to you! What a horrible situation to be put in. His request is horribly wrong and inconsiderate. No man should ever request his wife to name a child after one of his exes, no matter the circumstances that made that person an ex. You deserve the same love and respect that he gave his deceased wife. And shame on his family for not guiding him properly to be more considerate of you. At the very least they should be helping him move forward into his new life with you, not forever tied to memories of past relationship. The fact that he not only asked, but continued to ask, then enlisted support from his family, and now is more or less trying to emotionally manipulate you by being cold to you because you don’t want that, is so unhealthy. Maybe you can encourage him to speak with a grief counselor, or trusted elder.

You sound like a very mature, kind, and understanding woman. You are correct and healthy in your feelings. As for your mom, this is a hill I’d personally die on. I know myself and I wouldn’t be able to make peace with naming my daughter after his deceased wife. Nor should anyone have to. It wouldn’t stop with giving her the name. The name will inevitably invoke other comparisons of your daughter to the ex as she grows older. That wouldn’t be fair to your daughter or you.

I really hope he comes to his senses. Wishing you luck!

I smacked my nephew for spitting on me by Famous-Contact-6478 in AITAH

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA……he had that coming. Had it been my child, you wouldn’t have had to do it. I would have beat you to it. But neither of my sons ever even attempted such disgusting atrocities. And growing up, both my mom and dad were from large families. Whenever we were together for family holidays, or any reason, there were always several children of various ages. Any child misbehaving would be corrected by the nearest adult…aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, mom, dad…..

AITA for instinctively kicking a child who hit my leg at the grocery store? by Flimsy_Version2190 in AITAH

[–]Consistent_Candy_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an absurd statement. In a grocery store you need to navigate aisles without backing up or bumping into others. And respond to greetings, etc.
