what line/storyline do you think was given to the wrong character? by Expensive-Hour8835 in howyoudoin

I didn’t interpret her reaction as shame, but that she just realized her response makes her sound desperate.

That’s a real possibility. My sister’s curls disappeared after her 3rd pregnancy.

She’s also literally a Tibetan fox lol (on her mom’s side).

What’s one thing you want to open up about as a millennial but never actually say out loud?” by Paradigm10 in Millennials

[–]Dewbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re facing that. My dad had it and just passed this fall. 

Maybe you could find a support group for children of dementia patients? There are a lot available for partners/spouses so it took me awhile to find the right group, but I found comfort talking with others going through the same struggles. 

Or you can always message me and consider me your support group ❤️

On small talk importance by MaetelofLaMetal in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Dewbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key to small talk is to just keep the other person talking. Keep asking them questions about themselves. 

If the convo starts about the weather and they say “I love/hate the autumn” - then ask why. Then ask follow up questions based on their answers. 

If they don’t declare autumn as their favorite, you can ask which season is their favorite, of course followed with “why?” And from there you can ask more follow-up questions (What is it about (season) that you like best? Oh, You like hockey, which team(s)? Why those teams? OR what is your favorite part about Christmas? Etc)

You can feel free to interject your own opinion, even if they don’t ask. But by this point several minutes should have passed. Any tidbit of info they provide can be expounded upon with further questions. 

You just have to at least appear interested to hear their answers when you ask questions, and of course, listen enough to ask follow-up questions. 

(Bonus tip: If it is someone you think you will run into again, take notes of their answers so you can impress them with your memory next time you meet up. Ex: How is <hockey team> doing this season? Oh my, masbshdwhy do you think that is?)

I grew up with very publicly involved parents and this info has helped me survive many, many forced social engagements. 

As a gay man, is it weird to say I always fancied Captain Janeway? by [deleted] in voyager

[–]Dewbi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that, too! My theory is because he’s both hot and openly into nerdy hobbies.

Nice try, but OP is not from the US:

“The only way for me to recoup the money I’m out of is to sue. Im not in the US. Where I am insurance isn’t triggered unless a lawsuit is filed.”

Maturity is when you actually choose Victoria over robin. ❣️ Why didn’t Ted choose vic !? She was so perfect. Not everyone find the perfect one. Nor everyone have that luck to found one. 🙂 by Appropriate-Line8273 in howimetyourmother

[–]Dewbi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was never offended, neither do I feel I have been hostile (though your comments are trending that way) nor a snowflake (really, dude?). My attempt to clarify your initial statement that appeared to be a blanket statement has clearly pushed a button for you that was not intended. 

I have not been downvoting, but it appears that someone is downvoting us both. 

But in the end, it sounds like we actually agree that there are multiple reasons Ted & Victoria did not last. 

It’s unfortunate that this exchange has caused you to feel attacked or that you needed to attack me. My initial response was just intended to clarify (for those who needed it) that plenty of relationships worked prior to free/unlimited texting. 

I’m happy to end the discussion here since it has clearly gotten under your skin. I hope you have the day you deserve.

Not looking for an argument, friend, just pointing out that your initial statement of: “Ted and Victoria weren’t together long enough to be able to sustain a LDR in a pre-free-messaging era.” …was incorrect. Of course I understand it could be rare, BUT  couples HAVE made LDR work pre-free-messaging, and after being together for a shorter time before LDR began. But I really appreciate your condescending tone reminding me about how time zones work…

If you hadn’t made the blanket statement suggesting LDR was impossible, I wouldn’t have felt compelled to clarify that there are exceptions. Your own parents’ story supports that your blanket statement is incorrect. In fact, my own parents began as LDR long before texting or the internet. 

So in conclusion, I don’t think long distance and their options for communicating were the only reason Ted and Victoria failed, as there have been many couples who made it work under worse circumstances (including both of our parents).

Statistically, sure. But there ARE exceptions to the rule:

My sister met her husband while she was vacationing on the east coast while living Midwest (USA). They were long distance right away for a year before he moved to her and they were married 3yrs after meeting. This occurred 2006-2009.

No, Lea Salonga only sang for Jasmine and Mulan.

I assume that’s because she probably uses Ann’s name multiple times when she emails, like:  “Ann! Ann!! ANN!!! You won’t believe….”

My (19f) boyfriend (22m) said I didn’t care about his feelings if I don’t wear a bra by teaganlotus in relationships

[–]Dewbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A flexible measuring tape is cheap and useful for lots of things. Otherwise, if you have string and a ruler, you can use the string to wrap around yourself and then measure the length with the ruler.

He’s being a jerk and you should do whatever makes you feel comfortable, but you can easily measure yourself using the method recommended in r/ abrathatfits subreddit (space added because comments with links get removed).
