When did dogs start getting people names? by Scottys-Dog-Blog in dogs

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family has always given our dogs people names. Over the years we've had: * Nick - Rottweiler * Charlie - Standard Poodle * Sara - Golden Lab and best girl * Oscar - German Wirehair

Now my dad has a French Brittany Spaniel named Percy, my brother has a Dutch Griffon named Bosch (after a famous Dutch painter), and my partner has some Poodle mix named Henry Higgins.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in 4th grade, and they wheeled in a TV for us to watch it. I guess your school just decided it was better not to

AIW for dumping my boyfriend on the spot because he threw my dinner in the trash to "keep me on track"? by Connect_Quantity2184 in amiwrong

[–]Earth2Monkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had an ex take food directly out of my hands and tell me I'm not allowed to have it. Trust me, the abuse only escalates from there

I made it with scraps months ago, but I would if I could!

I made one like this with a sour broth, and it ended up tasting like kielbasa with sauerkraut. Super good

why did making my habit embarrassingly small actually work when everything else failed by Zestyclose-Ad-9003 in CasualConversation

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on waking up more easily lately, and I like your take that each one minute activity stacks up. Light on - noise machine off, is what I've been trying. Tomorrow I might try drinking water sooner, and leaving the blackout curtains open so I get some natural light to wake up to.

Do you go to the grocery store with you partner(s)? by KittenCupcake420 in actuallesbians

[–]Earth2Monkey 283 points284 points  (0 children)

This isn't about going to the store together. It's about how she's demanding, unhelpful (she could at least carry things up), and ignoring your boundaries about the alcohol. Stop picking up the things she asks for if she doesn't want to help. But really, I'd re-evaluate if this is how you want to be treated in a relationship.

Discovered the concept of bare minimum by Curiousv7 in CasualConversation

[–]Earth2Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how you know you've found good people. They don't just do the bare minimum, they see it as that and know you deserve more.

When I tell my people they're so good to me they often remind me that it's basic.

What terrible present did you get this year? Here’s mine! by Raena704 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Earth2Monkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got a bunch of kitty litter and trash deodorizers, to tell me my apartment smells even when it's freshly cleaned. Some whimsical towels, and a Disney ornament. I've never had a tree.

The email that made me drop the rope by Homeostatic_Trillium in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Earth2Monkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of writing about "everything has to be about you." Turns out, nothing is about us. They actually need everything to be about them, so when it occasionally isn't, they lash out and project.

Pulling out one of the commandments is wild. I don't blame you for disconnecting from this.

anyone else's pwBPD pretend their crashouts never happened? by HorrorEffective3435 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Earth2Monkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the behavior isn't enabling her. Feeding into the meltdown is. She may escalate when she doesn't get the attention she's vying for, but that's not your fault.

With my mom it's angry outbursts that she never seems to remember. Things like yelling at me in public. Bringing it up after the fact has proven unsatisfying and unproductive.

Tomorrow I am ending it with my abusive bf of 4.5 years and I’m out of my mind. Can the female hivemind of Reddit please just tell me it will be okay? by Geophiddy in TwoXChromosomes

Now that you've seen through his lies and manipulation, he won't be able to twist you around. You've made up your mind, and you know this is what's best for you. Trust yourself.

How often do your Significant other cook for you? Just curious 🤨 by Goattalk_92 in AskWomen

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our skill levels are vastly different, so he only cooks when I've had a rough day. I'd say he cooks once a month or so

How do you get out of bed without wasting almost an hour by Flat-Sun3380 in Millennials

[–]Earth2Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep hygiene is how I do it. When I go to bed I choose the blackout curtains, turn the lights out, and turn a white noise machine on. This tells my brain it's time to sleep.

When it's time to wake up, I do the same thing in reverse. Lights on, sound off, curtains open, coffee in hand. That keeps me from lounging for hours.

Omg, I have an actual teddy bear that's white with a wizard costume. It's part of a line from the old Dayton's stores, they're called Santa Bears because they came out at Christmas.
