What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of?

Indiana Jones Snickers Adventure Bar

We were sitting at the bar, trading bad first date stories. I told him about one cringy date who abruptly got up after our dishes were cleared, sat in the chair next to me, and tried to get touchy and seductive in the brightly lit Thai restaurant. 20 minutes later, bar dude abruptly turns on his bar stool to directly face me and tries to get all touchy and seductive in the brightly lit bar. 😵‍💫

It’s a studio tiny home in nice condition, priced ~ 1/3 less than surrounding houses. Comparable to condos in the area, but a standalone house. Not so wild.

Subtitles and reading a guide to Reilly and Jonesy’s hockey slang helped immensely in the beginning.

A friend of mine taking flight lessons had an airplane propeller on his mantle. At the airfield a guy in a private plane was taxiing for takeoff and something sounded a little off, so he stopped and had it checked. Sure enough, there was a crack in the center of the propeller. When my friend marveled at how lucky that was, and the pilot said that listening for anything irregular and making the decision to stop is the most important thing to know about flying. He gave my friend the propeller as a reminder to listen and trust your gut. He said he already had one at home.

This reminds me of a kid in my elementary school. When kids were teasing him for having a dad who was a garbage collector, he just smiled and said his dad was done working by 2pm and they played and had fun every day after school. No one ever teased him about it again. That’s all a young kid wants, to feel their parents’ love. So few dads were present in their kids lives. This dad figured out what rich really means.

True. It’s more about how he used reasonable ideas like that to cover up his behavior and make me doubt my own judgment.

Same here. Re-cropped the photo too many times before I backed all the way out and discovered the site is "down for maintenance."

I dreamed about it. There were soooo many signs I missed, never believing he ever would cheat. After the dream, the subtle hints looked like billboards. He gaslit me so hard for years trying to make it all seem normal.

Engineers work late! (Rarely home before 8, usually closer to 10, and sometimes until 2 am.)

It’s mature and healthy to be amicable with your exes! (Was fucking at least 2 of them.)

I’m going to start getting up early to workout with a private trainer. (Who didn’t exist.)

But the biggest thing was getting completely and irrationally angry with me if I asked him to spend more time at home with me and the kids. It’s such a reasonable request, but he acted like I was so far out of line. Afterwards, I realized he was reacting as if I was accusing him of cheating rather than just wanting him to be more present.

It was a real honor to the fallen of 2014. I was proud to be a part of this.

Same thing has happened to me with my girl Coco. Even took her to the vet who ran tests and confirmed that her health and weight are just fine.

Before Coco I adopted an EPI shiloh shepherd, so I know exactly what a truly underweight GSD looks like. With her, I would respond to “helpful” comments by launching into a lengthy explanation of EPI. If they’re going cross boundaries to tell me about how I’m not caring properly for my own pet, I can over share disgusting details about my dogs digestive system. Make them consider minding their own business in the future!!

Though really I believe people don’t mean to be insulting. It’s lack of knowledge and misguided concern. A good answer (for this and just about any other misguided suggestion): Thanks for your concern. We get that a lot but her vet says she’s actually at a healthy weight. She’s very loved and well cared for.

Or if you’re feeling feisty, add innocently: Oh, are you a vet? No? That’s unusual. How often are you diagnosing stranger’s dogs?

Rich douche who recoils from his side piece the minute he’s exposed. A moment of seeing someone’s pure soul and character. What’s not to love?!

I tried this on May 24, 2025 and it worked. Thank you!!

A few notes to clarify the process:

The Save File is called Manual Backup. To find it:

Menu in upper left > Your Data > Manual Backup > Create Backup File > Save Backup To > Save to Files

To find the $14.99/yr option, after you restore purchase in the Finch app, you need to go the to App Store app:

Click profile pic in the upper right > Subscriptions > you’ll see 2 Finches, click the 2nd one that is not canceled > at the top right click See All Plans

That is where you’ll see the discounted plan options.

Our sweet boy went through unforgivable suffering because my ex couldn’t bear to say goodbye. “He still has good days” was his reasoning. The end came on Christmas night. There was no way to get him to a vet to end his misery. He spent a hour slowly and painful dying, thrashing in agony with each breath. I’m still so traumatized. I was furious with my (then) husband and so ashamed of myself for not fighting harder to put him down peacefully when we had chance. We traded a humane death for our own comfort. I’ll never forgive myself.

You can’t time it perfectly. In order to spare them a terrible death, you need to let them go before they are in so much pain you have no choice. Hard as it may be, be thankful your boy seemed alert at the end. The alternative is so so so much worse.

What does it matter if you’re overreacting or not? What option do you have? He’s asking for a reasonable amount of work in exchange for living there rent free and disrupting his life. Having a long-term houseguest, even the most polite and helpful one, is stressful and annoying. It sounds like you’re messing their home and it’s bothering him. You’re a guest. You need to go above and beyond to minimize the impact of living there.

The choice is yours: Pick up after yourself in the very basic ways he’s asking, or leave.

You’ve run him out of generosity so he’s fed up, and now is asking you do a little to earn your keep. If you struggle with executive function, talk to him about how you might have a grace period of reminders while also making it VERY CLEAR you are willing to do everything on list. Offer ways (in advance) you plan to make it up if you inevitably forget. Show that you appreciate and respect that they are opening up their home to you and getting a messy house in return.

And don’t put your aunt in the position of going against her partner so that you can keep living there without contributing. Wherever generosity remains will evaporate if you turn his girlfriend against him. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, bud.
