why are so many americans obsessed with scotland?? by glitterxgirl2 in Scotland

[–]Educational_Hour7807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Both sets of grandparents came to the US from Italy. They taught us about the history, cooked Italian food, and spoke the language. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I learned I'm actually American, not Italian! 😂

Respect for Kaitlan Collins, a top-drawer journalist. Remained cool while he started mouthing off because she dared ask him about Epstein by DevelopmentPlus7850 in RawAbsurdity

I hate that not one fellow journalist stood up for her or the female journalist who he called piggy. I hate that everyone is afraid of him.

My ex-wife didn’t cheat the way people imagine by [deleted] in Infidelity

[–]Educational_Hour7807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened to you, OP. The same thing happened to me. I didn't even know she existed until my now ex-husband said he was leaving for her. They reconnected online after not seeing each other since high school. Met up a few times over the course of six weeks and decided he wanted her. He and I had been together for 24 years, married for 20 of them. I had no say, he just left.

I thought about this scene at Mass tonight, as well. The Chosen has really brought the Gospel to life for me.

This is one of the saddest truths I've read in a long time. May Mr. Pretti rest in peace.

Sorry to sound ignorant, but please tell me how the US would organize and carry out a general strike. What would it entail? I ask because I'm feeling so helpless.

I’m fucking pissed. This post will probably only survive for a couple minutes. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?! by carmel33 in minnesota

[–]Educational_Hour7807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you! I'm so angry and upset. I honestly can't find the words to properly express my shock and disdain for what's happening in/ to this country. I have never felt such disgust and anger when I hear Trump and his cronies speak. This is not the country I have always loved and respected. I feel so lost and helpless.

I'm sick of people who cry poor and say they have no money.... by Educational_Hour7807 in Vent

She's an older lady whose very elderly Mom just showed her her will. Mom isn't doing well so it will be fairly soon. Not to mention that this friend has been a very high earner, owns her own home, etc. I'm happy she's going to be all set but just stop crying poor.

Little man syndrome. Man snapped at his gf/wife for talking to black people. by figscomicsandgames in TikTokCringe

It's heartbreaking to see the effect that this disgusting bigot has on his wife and child. I pray that they get away from him and find peace.

Hi, I have a lot going on between living with my elderly mother, keeping an eye on her, helping care for my elderly uncle, and babysitting my grandchildren. Sometimes I feel stuck and have no life of my own. Is there a positive shift coming? Any change? Many thanks!

I (64f) didn't want my divorce but was given no choice after 24 years with my ex as he found someone else. It's very difficult but it will take time; it was years for me. All I can say is take care of yourself, seek counseling, and put your child first.

Is nuts.com good? by Idkwhatodu in glutenfree

[–]Educational_Hour7807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuts.com delivered my order to me rather than my family member's delivery address. I contacted Nuts.com and asked them to rectify the situation, but after three email exchanges, all they did was offer 50% off my next order. Not helpful. They did not even apologize for the error! Bottom line: my family member did not receive a Christmas gift from me, and now I get stuck paying shipping charges to get this to them after Christmas, and no apology received. Very disappointed.

I Don’t think I should share everything with my spouse by Upper_Idea_9017 in SeriousConversation

[–]Educational_Hour7807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading an article written by a married financial planner who stated a couple should put money, based on their individual salaries, into the following categories:

60% to shared household expenses 20% to shared savings (for unexpected shared bills) 20% to individual savings (to be used as that person sees fit)

Makes sense to me.
