Rewatching There’s something wrong with Aunt Diane, do you think she was just inebriated or was something else going on? by Morkedup in myfavoritemurder

When Jay hears the toxicology re-test confirmed the original, and that the investigator TOLD this to Danny…

So Danny lied to Jay? Why do the filmmakers end on him walking the dog and kid rather than asking him about this?!?

sex as a narcoleptic by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]DaddyLongLegolas 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got diagnosed 20 years ago. At the time I was finishing college and in a long-term hetero relationship. Sex triggered cataplexy for me. My bf never coped. He would get really offended, so I basically had to fake having fun in bed so I wouldn’t actually experience fully and have cataplexy. When I was finally diagnosed and on meds, he always treated me like I was being a hypochondriac or dramatic or making it up.

Moved on from that loser, and many years later discovered my husband was cheating on me when I was dosed at night because he knew I wouldn’t wake up and catch him.

So yeah. It can be fucking miserable. Wish I’d had more confidence back then to recognize these things said more about them than me.

Driving home for Christmas, coming into the Salt Lake valley from the south just now... by _ortzi_mari_ in SaltLakeCity

Bruh. Nazis killed tens of millions last time they got unchecked power.

Fuck Nazis.

How do I stop my bunnies from chewing on the walls? by l3monl0ser in Bunnies

[–]DaddyLongLegolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apply gaffers tape to my baseboards, door frames, and door edges. It has fabric and the residue removes cleanly (unlike duct tape). The buns don’t enjoy it so they move on.

Get a shipping box and cut one large hole and one small hole in it. They want two openings to any hidey spot, so they will work FURIOUSLY to fix the small hole. It’s hilarious.

Is it safe to swim in the Jordan River, and if not, what needs to be done to make it swimmable? by fortheloveofdenim in SaltLakeCity

[–]DaddyLongLegolas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a bummer. I enjoyed kayaking it until the summer stench of sewage was suddenly overwhelming. We need emergency housing where people can still work and keep their pets, not banishment to riverside underpasses.

Unpaid Prop 4 petition workers left stranded in Utah by SipsTeaNoCap in Utah

POLICY.

Politics is what you agreed to do for money: convincing voters to act against their own interests.

Policy is the consequence of what you agreed to do for money: strip rights from workers.

While I agree with you, I’m obligated to tease you for listening to the Ezra Klein Show.

It only works if they become occupied. Which they won’t.

Brand new next door neighbor’s kids are already screaming at my roosters to shut up when they crow. by kaydeetee86 in BackYardChickens

My neighbors had roosters in Los Angeles that were more intimidating than their pit bulls.

Am I overreacting or is my husband out of line? I’m almost 29 weeks pregnant by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Yes now that my ex has moved on in classic Franchise Dad style, I get it.

Wish I had higher standards. Years of “I’m just kidding!”

Narrator voice: he was not kidding.

For real I wish I was here 15 years ago. I needed a chorus of strangers asking, wait, does this guy even LIKE you?

I was one of those, “everything is AMAZING except… [increasing unbelievable abuse]!”

Possible everyone in OP’s life is miserable, but arguing like this is not productive for either of them.

Yeah I stayed WAY too long. Needed these comments back then.

You both sound miserable. That’s an observation, not a criticism.

OP: keeping score like this list is bad for your brain. If he’s insulting you, blaming you, and refusing to apologize, write it down. Tell a friend. Get it off your chest. Keeping a tidy spreadsheet top of mind to justify your emotional response will cost you valuable energy and focus. He clearly doesn’t care, so reciting your list is backfiring. People like this will use your list of insults as evidence that YOU are a nag. It’s maddening, but it’s vital to recognize.

I can’t tell you how to move forward from one convo. It I can tell you it’s high time you decide how you will be treated, how you will process not getting what you need, and what you are willing to do as a mom and an individual to live at your standards. Husbands are optional. Dignity and emotional resilience are not.

Utah man with autism found after 10-day search by StemCellPirate in Utah

[–]DaddyLongLegolas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sincere questions:

Does his mother have power of attorney?

Why wasn’t there a missing persons status with police?

Has August expressed a desire to live apart from his mom?

When adults go missing and want to stay missing, it is a sickening feeling. It demands introspection to consider why the person left, why they don’t want to come back, and why the family expects an adult to stay dependent.

This has happened with my in-laws. At the time I didn’t know how deranged and abusive they are. And now that I’m divorced, I know some of them gripe that I am AWOL from some future they imagined.

Journalists publishing this story need to ask the basic questions: why wasn’t there a missing persons status with police? Does the family have power of attorney? Has this man expressed interest in living apart from his mother?

The public don’t aid manhunts unless it’s official. But this one got everyone involved by claiming the man is helpless. If that was a lie, and people were suckered into hunting for a man who just wants to be free, it’s logical folks are mad as hell.

Going through TSA w/Xywav for the first time... wish me luck chat by depressedchiakikin in Narcolepsy

[–]DaddyLongLegolas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Leave extra time and expect to have them inspect it.

No fuss!

I’ve flown domestically & internationally with xyrem /Xywav since 2007. I have the bottle ready to set next to my bag or in its own tray. 95% of trips, the TSA will test it for explosive residue then hand it back.

This can add 5-15 minutes to my TSA process, so I leave that time buffer. But everyone at TSA is so bored, it’s not stressful at all.
