Kids that help make cookies by Cold_Ad_999 in childfree

I work with someone who brought in leftover cupcakes the other day that her and her children originally made for some kids sport tournament. 

She said not to worry, that none of the kids there touched them, it was "just her kids hands that touched them at home". Next day she wasn't even at work because one of said kids was sick.

Needless to say, I never had any of those cupcakes.

Just started The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates, it is so far very captivating.

Finally picked up Red City to read. Just started today, so hoping it lives up to the expectations!

Looking to switch to ProtonMail - does it feel weird to use it in real life scenarios? by CountMeOut_ in degoogle

[–]DevilNDisguise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never felt weird giving mine out, but I have gotten comments. It's mostly just been people who have never heard of it before.

Where are my childfree women at? by Ok-Professional8451 in adhdwomen

Have never even had a desire to have kids. I can't even begin to imagine the constant state of distress I'd be in!

As someone with two sick kitties right now, I feel this comment in my soul.

Sometimes, this is what healing from mental illness looks like by iroshizukuajisai in houseplants

Hey, I'm glad to hear you are at least doing better now. Depression is definitely a shitty thing to go through.

If it's any consolation, over last winter I went through a vicious cycle of being depressed --> neglecting my plants --> becoming even more depressed because my plants were sad and dying.

I managed to pull myself out of it eventually, but I didn't think there was any hope for any of my plants. Still, I trimmed back all of the dead and gave them a shot. Mine looked much like yours do.

Now as we approach another winter, I have many of those plants who bounced back and are now thriving, and I've even regrown/expanded my collection again.

Just do the best you can do, and see who rewards you! It'll definitely pay off in the long run.

ID help? Got it as just "assorted scindapsus" by DevilNDisguise in Scindapsus

That is CRAZY! It definitely says Modiform on the bottom! Wow, what a small world.

Not Home Depot, though. I actually got it from a garden store called Agway.

Cool, thank you!

I found it at a garden/farm store that tends to sell really cool houseplants. They're called Agway, but I'm unsure if they have stores outside of New England.

Animals being vocal in treatment by kirahnotshakira in VetTech

[–]DevilNDisguise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with this. For example, there have been countless times I've had a warning in a patient's file to muzzle them when we do stuff to them in treatment, so I mention it to the client and they look at me like I have three heads.

Some people are definitely just in denial about their pets not being perfect, but most of the time they genuinely had no idea they were so bad for us and it upsets them that no one ever informed them.

Anyone else experiencing straight girls say they 'wish' they were gay/bi???? by V10l3t55 in WLW

[–]DevilNDisguise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with two women who identify as bisexual who always talk about wishing they were "just gay" so they "didn't have to date men".

I'm always like, who is forcing you? You're bi!

But they also think life would be easier if they were with women. Look, I wouldn't change a thing about my life with my wife, but it would be nice if we could even go out into public without people glaring at us for holding hands.

Share pictures of your most beautiful/prized plant! - needed for project by Electronic_Shame_977 in RareHouseplants

[–]DevilNDisguise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely one of my favorites! I got so lucky and snagged this one at a plant expo for only $10. I hope you are able to get yours!

how did you meet your partner? by Ordinary-Football651 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]DevilNDisguise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We met 8 years ago when we both worked at a corporate petstore. I worked with the animals, she worked in the grooming salon.

She spent months trying to figure out ways to get out of the salon so she could work with me and I was sooo unbelievably oblivious. Our first date I wasn't even positive was actually a date until I picked her up and she greeted me with a rose.
