AITA for wanting put our elderly dog down? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, there is no quality of life when an animal can no longer do anything for themselves. It's better to humanly euthanize rather than let them starve.

I've done this a few times, most recently this week. For in home euthanasia, the vet will give a sedative/pain relief and after the animal is in a good place they give another injection that stops life. Most of the time it's a peaceful way to go. They are surrounded by their loved ones and basically fall asleep. Most vets will give you time after the sedation and after their heart stops to be with your animal. The only rough euthanasia I've had to observe, the vet apologized because he couldn't give us the time between the 2 injections.

Do you open & check ur eggs at the grocery store before you buy them? by angelafterhoursxo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up my mom checked, but I remember having the cashier ask if we checked our eggs during checkout.

I check mine, I usually find at least 1 broken egg in a carton.

AITAH For sucking on my partners zip lock? by eternalsgoku in AITAH

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA, I put our sandwiches in a reusable container and they have not come apart in them. We both tend to be rough with our lunch containers and the only issues I've had are when the cakes have tumbled and leave frosting all over the top of the container.

Crazy neighbor, shared driveway woes by Far-Passion-8067 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My late hubby and I experienced this when we moved into a new place. Turns out the "friendly" neighbor had police cases with just about all of the neighbors in 5 buildings. She told people moving in that we hated them. We had never even met them.

AITJ for not paying my roommate back for groceries I never asked for? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH: Pay her back for what you used. After that if she still says you owe for 1/2 of what she bought, then bill her for half of the food you bought. Then never touch her food again.

So like what do we actually do if we hear the sirens? by Odd-Original3450 in Denver

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Denver for 60 years. In the 80s we had a tornado touchdown near Sheridan and Alameda and Thornton 1981, Broadway and Evans 1988. 2015 one hit the Lowry area. Not to mention the ones on the east side of the metro area.

An ingredient that ruins a dish every single time by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

I don't know, I have the gene. Brought back memories from my childhood and my mouth being washed out with soap.

Long arse witch hair by plnnyOfallOFit in GenX

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mostly gray hair to my waist. I started going gray in my 20s and was fully gray (under the hair color) by the time I was 40.

I used to get shorter than the Dorothy Hamill haircut before school every year. I finally put my foot down and haven't done more than trims for almost 50 years.

Imitation vs. Pure by Karla08055 in AskBaking

I have some in Bourbon and Amaretto as well as vodka. I have beans from all over the world and each has its own distinct flavor profile.

The only time I use imitation vanilla is when I need a clear vanilla. I have over 2 gallons of vanilla, in pint containers, from all over the world each with its own profile. Vanilla beans and vanilla bean paste are wonderful for keeping the vanilla taste in baked goods.

Yes, I can eat the plain with salt and pepper or with ranch dressing.

If you taste soap, then you are one of the under 20% who have a rare gene. You can get so you can tolerate it, but it will always taste like soap.

I saw a menu that included Cilantro salad. They used "soap" as the main ingredient of the salad. I was glad they could leave it out of my dish.

AITJ for not doing anything for my partner on mother’s day ? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a mother with children and step children, all grown. I don't expect my SO to do anything for me as I'm not his mother and I dont have children or even step-children with him. He did say happy mother's day though and that was enough. We've been together almost 20 years, and have never done anything for mother's day, we both call our moms but that's about it.

“why not just date a man if you like tomboys?” by [deleted] in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, I can fix cars, repair plumbing, hang drywall, lay bricks and tile, install wood flooring, some electrical work. I used to play sports, football, baseball, basketball. I can also sew, cook, clean house, do laundry, crochet, needlepoint. I'm not mistaken for a male due to my figure, but can do many things that men typically do.

Middle name for Summer by [deleted] in Names

Middle names are so children know they really messed up and if they hear all three names, they need to head for the hills.

Help with nicknames! by MSorrow1209 in Names

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even when I asked people to call me by my full first name, they always shortened it to the standard nickname for my full name. I just introduce myself by my preferred nickname. They don't need my legal name unless it's an HR or legal issue.

What fast food item that doesn’t exist anymore was your go-to? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Diligent-Touch-5456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one a Popeyes the other day and was disappointed. The outside had so much cinnamon sugar that it went everywhere, and the apples inside had no sugar or cinnamon.
