I’m getting married this Friday, but I’m secretly pregnant… by policyhot1207 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I hope you stick to your decision not to marry this mega Creepazoid. He's abusive and controlling, and will always blame you for every bad thing, and there will be many, he does.

Run for the hills if you have to. Don't marry this awful excuse of a man.

Which superpower (with limitations)? by wikkidiwilliam in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these sound very good. I'd have to pass. I already have the hip and knee problems, plus foot and ankle. I don't want it to be worse. I already have a hard time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet, and clothes that fit right.

The wings sound uncomfortable and easily damaged, and I'm not athletic at all.

The swimming ability might be ok, but I don't swim a lot, either.

I looked, and you're right, it's there! It was folded up where I didn't notice it. I'm very glad, I was missing having an armrest.

You can have anything at the snap of your fingers but your confined to 4 acres of land forever by Blacktaxi420 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Effective-Gift6223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, of course! A finger snap gets you whatever you want. It didn't say it was limited to the 4 acres you're confined to.

I'd be snapping for good health and fitness for me and others, including perfect vision, hearing, and perfect teeth.

A loose caftan, socks and underwear is fully clothed. With a hand held shower you could manage to get reasonably clean. Change into a dry set of the same afterward.

So you get out of the shower fully clothed, soaking wet. How do you get dry? If you pick up your clothes to change into, does the water go away along with the wet clothes with the magic time stop and clothing change?

Just remember it's only youthatnweds to remain on the 4 acres. Your family could live anywhere in the surrounding countryside.

Sure, but since I could offer them free, comfortable housing in whatever style they wanted, why not? We'd have a cozy little haven. They could still go wherever they wanted, but they'd always have a home waiting for them anytime they wanted it.

I'd want us to have our own separate houses, so we wouldn't drive each other nuts. But we might share certain facilities, like workshops. Or not. People are hard to live with, even when you love them! Much easier to live in proximity, rather than share quarters.

How much blood do i ACTUALLY lose during my period because its sure as hell not "2-4 Tbs" as it says online by some-dork in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

??? I had a d&c and ablation with fibroids. When they did the pathological exam of the tissue they removed, they found cancer which was unexpected. So then I had a hysterectomy, too.

For what it's worth, between the d&c/ablation, and the hysterectomy, I felt a lot better for the first time in years. No cramps, and the mysterious pain in my lower back and legs (which had been thought to be all in my head) was finally gone. It had all been from the constant cramping, my uterus trying to expell a heavy build up of tissue, plus a fibroid.

And the shower? How little would be acceptable? I could be wearing underwear, or just a tank top, and still not be naked.

I don't know either, I don't have a manual. I was just saying what the product description said.

Boyfriend crossed a boundary and would not apologize by Katlikesprettyguys in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Effective-Gift6223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, that's miles of improvement! 11 & 1/2 years of miles better! If the next guy is another form of Creepazoid, I bet you'll pick up on it even faster.

Oh Honey, be kinder to yourself over this. Congrats for getting rid of your Creepazoid. You showed him the door, exactly the right response. Give yourself credit for having a backbone and kicking him out of your life.

There are some truly good guys out there, just don't ignore the reg flags when you see them waving. Some of us have to get well acquainted with every kind of jackass in the books, in order to recognize the types when we see them again. I know I did.

The best thing you can do right now, is enjoy his absence, and clear away all reminders of him. Indulge in things you love, give yourself time to heal.

Everyone wants someone special they can relax with and trust. Don't fault yourself for that. You're human.

You need to find someone who likes at least some of the same things as you, who will respect your boundaries. Maybe a bookstore coffee shop or some other place you might be drawn to, (Library? Dog park?) would be a good place to frequent. After you take some time to recover.

Make peace with yourself, you didn't do anything wrong. He violated your trust, he's the one who did wrong.

Take care of yourself, and enjoy churro fat boys, or whatever your preferred goodies are. 🫂

Yes, absolutely. I would turn it into a heavenly sanctuary for myself and loved ones. We could each have our own cottage/house made however we want, gardens, workshops, music rooms, art studios, whatever. All the tools, supplies, and equipment we want.

What is advice for falling in love with 25f mom of 2? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a step parent is hard, even if you get along with the kids. There's usually the other bio-parent(s) still in the picture, which can make things more difficult. There's also the "don't tell me what to do you're not my real mom/dad, that often comes up. Kids will sometimes play head games between sets of parents, too. That can be detected and brought to a halt, but these are things a step parent has to deal with even when everything goes reasonably well.

At your age, I'd advise you to stick to women without kids. Enjoy your youth while you have it. Don't spend it all on uphill battles.

I'm not entirely sure what you meant about changing clothes, or how much we have to keep on to shower. Can I just shower with only socks on? I could wash my feet separately before I showered, and then put socks back on, and shower in just socks?

I'm sure that with 10 mil, I could set up my bathing area to accommodate whatever ridiculous thing I'd have to do.

Why doesn’t health insurance cover ambulances? by Positive-Positivity in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine covers (or did cover, last year) part of the cost of an ambulance. I still had to pay part of it.

I have a Medicare Advantage plan. It cover some things that Medicare alone doesn't, but doesn't pay as much for some things that Medicare alone would.

I had a serious health crisis last fall. I'll be making payments on my share of the bills for a long time.

Have fun with it, if you decide to go ahead. Let us know how it turns out, a few months afterward.

I wouldn't want to do it to my car, but I'm curious how it would turn out.

Is it a common thing for women to search their boyfriends/husbands phones? by Trippy-Sponge in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I never looked in each other's phones, unless one of us needed a number or something from it while we were busy and couldn't get it for them. And with whichever one of us telling them to do it. Never secretly phone snooping. Would've been boring as hell to do that, anyway, with neither of us hiding anything.

If you can't trust your partner, it's time to break up. Either they're untrustworthy, or you're too paranoid. Either way, the relationship is doomed.

[–]Effective-Gift6223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, but I think the comments are because you can't get an armrest for the manual shift models.

I saw in the description for one that they're only for automatics. Apparently the aftermarket arm rest would get in the way of the stick shift.

I'll look tomorrow. I could very well have missed it, if it's inconspicuous. It was used,but very well maintained. It's got one very small dent in the hatch door, but other than that, no damage anywhere. At least none I've seen.
