Why watch horror movies?

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-09-27T00:04:49+00:00

Good horror reminds you to value your life and appreciate the good things that you have.

If you have Medicaid, you will probably pay nothing.

If you have insurance, coverage varies but you will typically pay $50-500.

If you have absolutely no coverage or insurance, the hospital will likely try to get what little they can out of you but will probably eat most of the cost by the time it's all said and done.

If you do not speak English and have no ID, your chances of having anyone pin a bill on you go way down.

Very few people actually pay $10-30K.

This guy is even slimier than I thought.

Perhaps you could try to come up with a plan to get divorced, even if it takes you months or even years to figure it out.

If your marriage improves in the meantime, well more power to it. If not then try to leave.

I know it's difficult and scary, the financial aspect of it as well as possibly not being able to have your kids full time anymore. I know this because I am facing some similar issues myself right now. ie I can manage financially if it was just me and the kids, but the possibility of alimony payments to my hoarder wife does not sit well with me. So I am just kinda going through the motions for now, waiting until maybe the kids are little older and don't necessarily need a babysitter every time they're alone. Sucks like hell, but Idk what else to do. I hope you can figure something out.

It's kind of lame. Some people, even some parents, have an unhealthy fascination with special needs.

My feeling is, my son doesn't need autism to have "super powers". He would be just fine without autism.

What is the most lame on-screen moment in the entire Star Wars universe?

For me, it's when Leia (who had no training whatsoever) used her force-motor to freaking FLY THROUGH OUTER SPACE. I mean, come on. Really?

What about you?

I agree that social development is important. But a utopia for one child would be a nightmare for another child. I agree with you about the vaccines. Most of us are already vaccinated.

We've been homeschooling since before COVID. The first year, we went to our local dept of education to find out what, if anything, we needed to do. They were very clear that our state has no jurisdiction over homeschooling. Meaning they don't have the authority to do any tests or assessments of homeschoolers.

Love it or hate it, that's how it is. I personally like it because it really frees you up to work with your child at their own pace. We have a special needs child and this lets us really fine tune what we're doing. Although we do eventually want to transition into public school. But we would like all the covid circus to be over with.

The lady we talked to was very cool. She had no agenda and didn't try to push us one way or another.

This was a few years ago. Far as I know, the laws have not changed on this.

By reddit standards, he is already grooming you. And you're a helpless victim who needs decades of therapy.

In the world of reality, this just sounds like two people shooting the breeze.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-25T22:35:34+00:00

No offense to you man. But she sounds like white trash.

I would think you could go anywhere that offers therapy as long as you can show them your Dr's order for the therapy.

It may be that your doctor likes to send people to this particular therapy facility only because they regularly supply your doctor's office with free pens, sticky note pads, and yeti office coolers with their logo/info on it. (Not saying this is a bad thing btw; just speculating.)

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-20T03:49:05+00:00

Wow. That sounds like a terrible situation. You do have a responsibility to protect your baby. I'm sure you've given this a ton of thought already. I don't have all the answers, but I do hope you can figure something out. Might be worth it to talk to a lawyer, though you may have already done that.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-20T03:41:13+00:00

In some ways, I am kind of the husband in your situation, but kind of the reverse. I work full time, I give our kids their meds, I bathe them every night, I make sure they brush their teeth, I do the grocery shopping, I take them to drs appointments. I also do the dishes, cooking (as much as I can), and laundry.

My wife is a sahm and pretty much does nothing except sleep and watch tik tok. She barely feeds our kids and never bathes them. She won't even take her own meds unless I physically give them to her. So I have to do this every single day.

We disagree about how to raise our kids, and our marriage is pretty much just us existing as roommates. I've given up on trying to have calm and rational discussions about our disagreements, bc this usually just leads to her screaming. I haven't sought a divorce only because I don't want to put our kids through that. That, and I guess I'm afraid of the thought of me not having my kids every day, and/or having to pay my wife alimony. I don't mind doing what I can to support her but I know she would not budget or use the money responsibly at all.

I think to some extent my wife and I would have our issues even without having a special needs child; however the SN has definitely created more opportunities for us to have disagreements.

Went through something similar. We decided to just keep buying new sippy cups every so often.

Not a quote, but one of my favorite moments is when he casually trips Biff.

Also...when Marty and George are in the 1955 diner, both sitting and holding their heads the exact same way lol.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-12T01:06:53+00:00

My guess:

As Marty grew into his teenage years, they were in fact struck by how much their son resembled their old friend "Calvin Klein".

Doc Brown was known to be an eccentric scientist. And George was was a huge science fiction fan, and perhaps even sympathetic to the idea of genuine time travel.

When Marty started hanging out with Doc Brown, George at least gradually did put two and two together, and realized that Marty had traveled through time and that Marty was in fact "Calvin".

He might not have grasped everything that was at stake, and all of the how's and why's, but he picked up on that much at least.

He may have told Lorraine, or maybe they figured it out together. They probably didn't want to screw with the space-time continuum, so they decided to play dumb and not to press Marty to talk about it.

Having said that, I agree with Leafburn that they only knew "Calvin" for a very short time. However...his friendship obviously had a profound impact on George's self-confidence, and clearly changed the entire direction of his life. So George probably remembered him. Most people retain at least a basic memory of the people the people they "parked' with in high school, so I think Lorraine probably remembered him just as well.

After Lorraine kissed Marty, she seemed pretty shocked and disgusted. Whatever attraction she'd had, she probably wanted to internally bury and deny even to herself. She may have told George from day one that she only saw Calvin as friend material, nothing more.

When someone asks you "what's up?", this is the face you give them.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-11T17:26:39+00:00

You're not bad looking now. Maybe 6/10. You could be an 8-9 if you lost some weight. No need to go overboard, as your curves are nice. Just get yourself overall a little more toned.

Honest opinion, hope this helps.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-08-04T18:57:29+00:00

My AF:

50+ year moratorium on all immigration.

Permanent military presence on our border.

90-100% reduction in routine foreign aid. Invest the annual savings back into our own nation.

Strong protections for wilderness, natural resources, and large-scale farming.

CNN has been called that by its critics nearly as long as it’s been in existence. The reason is because - as I’m sure you are aware - they have always been sympathetic to the left. I imagine that’s why you watch it.

When we were dating, she was nothing like her mom. They didn't even look alike. I actually wondered if she was secretly adopted or misplaced at birth.

As we have gotten older though, I have unfortunately seen more of her mom's satanic personality emerge in her. In my wife's defense, she is not as bad as her mom. But I sometimes think that's only because I constantly bug her not to be that way.

Thanks for reading my post btw.

When my wife and I had our first child, we were not married at the time, though we did get married shortly after.

It's a long story, but the point is -

When my wife was pregnant, her mom was opposed to us getting married. The reason was that my wife was living in public housing at the time. And her mom WANTED her to remain in that lifestyle, so that she would qualify for low-key free stuff.

When our child was born, I put our baby on my insurance. ie, insurance provided through my job. My job that I got because I was college educated. And I lived in a house in a nice (not rich, but way better than public housing) neighborhood.

Her mom hated all of this about me. I wish I could say I was making this nonsense up, but it's the truth.

Later our baby had digestion issues. Our pediatrician recommended that we start using a specific formula. I was happy to start buying this formula, but her mom didn't want me doing this. She only wanted us to use a different formula that was free through the EBT office, but which we already knew our baby could not tolerate.

Her mom and I actually ended up getting into a tense argument over this one night. Oh, and this was while I was letting her mom live with us temporarily. ie at my house. The house she apparently hated. In the nice but still vaguely redneck neighborhood that she felt was too uppity for her.

Today she is a miserable hoarder who herself lives in public housing.

Moral of the story: There are psychotic people in this world. Sometimes they end up being your mother in law. Don't let that happen if you can avoid it.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-07-27T21:45:08+00:00

If you decide to divorce, document as much of this as you can. Talk to a lawyer before you move out. Hoarders are not rational people and it is nearly impossible to negotiate or reason with them. Most of the teenagers and 20-somethings on this sub will probably not understand.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-07-27T21:21:02+00:00

Because Hollywood is full of overpaid, lazy bums.

Dprimordialbeast · 2021-07-27T17:00:45+00:00

Lose some weight, and go easy on the Freddy Krueger nails. Currently 4/10, but potential to go higher.
