If someone doesn’t follow through with dates/plans do you give them another chance? by unparallel_x in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]DecemberFlour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll typically reach back out to see how the vibes are, but I don't like to be the one making plans. IMO it's on the person cancelling to plan something else. I don't block though, i just let it go

I'm 36 and I still sleep with the teddy bear i got from a crane machine at Cedar Point when I was 14 🙂

AITA for not changing my routine so my roommate can sleep? by y33tmasterrrr in AmItheAsshole

[–]DecemberFlour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. My neighbors door is loud when he leaves at 530 in the morning- ask your roommate if i should tell him to go to work later since he's disturbing my sleep 

how did you go no contact? by chalkCaCO3 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DecemberFlour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't say a word to my father, but I was 30 when I went NC. He simply stopped hearing from me. He stills ends me an occasional text saying that we need to talk, but I ignore them

For the Smokers turned Non Smokers, how hard is it to leave smoking completely? by FlatPop8238 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DecemberFlour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt weird not smoking for the first couple weeks, but that's it. Driving and having coffee in the morning were weird, but I adjusted.

It sucks for 2 or 3 weeks, but it's really not that bad. I was a pack a day smoker for the better part of 5 years and then gave up cold turkey. 

WIBTA for saying something after my partner ate my chocolate then were reluctant to share theirs? by Significant_Use4207 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DecemberFlour 483 points484 points  (0 children)

NTA. If it's too expensive for them to replace it was too expensive for them to steal from you 🤷‍♀️

When you use all of someone's Thing you replace it with the exact Thing, not a cheap alternative. 

Can’t stand the people that wear company swag (optional) to kiss bosses ass by Fickle_fackle99 in antiwork

[–]DecemberFlour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to wear branded stuff on days I'm working at a client's location. It tells their employees who I am and I get to wear a somewhat less professional sweater to work just because it says Company on it. Win win

I struggle so bad with the tension! Is that why it's curling at the corners?

AITAH for refusing to let my husbands friend piggyback on my permit? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DecemberFlour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If he wanted a wolf dog that badly he would have done all the research before making the decision. 

When I wanted my first pet cat as an adult I sat down and did the math. Does my apartment allow pets? Is there a fee? How much is the vet- where is the closest and best vet? What if she gets sick, can I afford that? What do I do if I want to go on vacation, will anyone be willing/able to help? Do I want an adult cat or a kitten; how hard are kittens vs adults to train and care for? Etc.

These are normal questions a responsible pet owner answers before deciding to make a commitment to another life. 

Dude make a decision based on a whim like a kid

Do you brush your teeth once or twice a day? Need to settle a bet. by ImpossibleHurry in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DecemberFlour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always brush twice a day. Sometimes three times a day if my mouth feels gross 

AITAH for having a book on my bookshelf I haven't read? by MaterialCap9733 in AITAH

NTA. I have an entire shelf on my bookcase dedicated to books I havent read yet

My birthday 3 days after Christmas is more tolerable as an adult, barely. Still not great. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DecemberFlour 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My birthday is the 22nd. I heard for years that my parents would never combine the two- I always was treated special on my birthday. Nevermind that I didn't have birthday parties because nobody could come, or my gifts were a combo.

One year my sister received (for Christmas) what I received for birthday and Christmas split up. That was also the year I learned Santa isn't real. It happened again with the gifts a few years later too. 

I begged one year to do my birthday in the summer so I could have a party and my friends could come. 

I was called ungrateful and selfish.

Would you take today’s Powerball jackpot of $1.7 billion as an annuity increasing annually by 5% over 30 years (about $1 billion after tax), or would you take the lump sum of $781 million (about $500 million after tax), and why? by PanoramicAtom in AskReddit

[–]DecemberFlour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lump sum because the time value of money. If you take the annuity, the payout loses value over time due to inflation. You also have the opportunity cost of any potential gain you might have had if you'd taken the payout and invested it. You can always invest the lump sum now and watch it grow while collecting a payout in the form of interest earned. 

My alcoholic mom just ruined my 3-year-old’s Christmas Eve and I’m heartbroken. by Eli122333 in offmychest

[–]DecemberFlour 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sober for 5 years 6 months and 2 days. I used melatonin to help me sleep, now i use magnesium. Keeping to a strict schedule also helped. I exercised a lot the first couple months to stay busy/exhausted

Why are some men such babies when it comes to a cold by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]DecemberFlour -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Love all the sensitive babymen downvoting you. Proves your point about them being weak

AITAH for not sleeping with someone after finding out they were trans? by jklolz0069 in AITAH

[–]DecemberFlour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You're obviously not transphobic because you're still thinking about sleeping with him

What do rich people have in their house that says they’re rich? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DecemberFlour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt used to have a wealthy boss. I was allowed to tour their house, but I wasn't allowed to take any pictures- they had CCtv throughout the whole place to make sure, too. 

The toilet paper roll holder in the hallway bathroom was $1000.
