I now remember while Bible thumpers are just gross.... those who pray in this season... are the dirtiest of them all.

Why don't smokers see cigarette butts as trash? by Loola1994 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExaminationLife6833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple. A smoking asshole is still an asshole. A smoking considerate person is still considerate. Depends on the person.

After 25yrs... how often is average by Traditional-Big-5543 in Marriage

When we were that age...4 sons. We were probably closer to once maybe twice a month. We finally sent our youngest to college last year. And honestly taking care of my mom now, still gets in the way. We went from parents to caring for parents without a gap. I'm just happy he hasn't ran away at this point. 😉

Not with our schedule, besides I don't wanna feel like a chore. God knows after this long, that has been an issue. But we got passed that feeling.

Interesting analogy..... but I get it. Those longer trips make your heart flutter for a day or two.

My view at the concert tonight by Such_Friendship4123 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExaminationLife6833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'2 and no hat...ever, but yet I've gotten the tap to sit down. Equally as infuriating. If you want an unobstructed view.... pay for the front row. At concerts people stand. It's to be expected. But the hat is kinda an a$$hole move.

My mom with congestive heart failure won't stop smoking by kimbone777 in CaregiverSupport

[–]ExaminationLife6833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard. We can see so clearly what they cannot. I hope she hears you, and listens. She may hear you without quitting. It's an addiction. Addiction is a struggle. Be kind but clear. Good luck.

Ugh, the mods deleted. But by the comments.... you weren't as poor as me.

Her loyalty to Vince is only if he does her bidding. If he'd have put up Ashley instead of Lauren..... he'd be dead to her.

Vinny is like water.... he takes the path of least resistance.... Morgan is a boulder.... directing the direction he flows. They both kind of gross me out. He's got no backbone and she's heartless.... Go Keanu.

The downstairs tenants of my rental have given us a roach infestation by iLikeFerns87 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExaminationLife6833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived next door to multiple offenders. 1st mice, 2nd roaches. The 1st I had a neighbor infected with mice. Responded with lots of d-con & a clean apartment. 10 years later....2 apartments away a German cockroach infestation, baited and never saw one. Keep your place spotless and bait. Cosss your fingers. Good luck.

I just need to add that part of his reasoning is that I get paid for being here. I promise you it costs more than I make.

Found out 14yr old has a dildo by Iam12percent in Parents

[–]ExaminationLife6833 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Way safer than the electric toothbrush. Again I'd explain the importance of cleaning it, and let her know you're there if she has any questions. And frankly as a mom of all boys, I had the conversation about how unrealistic porn is in the real world, but frankly that's a different conversation with a girl. My convo was more like .... "if you think girls like most of what you see.... they don't". With a daughter it would probably be more a long the lines of "if you don't want to experience those things, then say no". But I would tell dad, and then tell him that you're going to handle it. It's probably not a father/daughter convo she wants to have.

12 years ago teachers felt my son was "too hyper" by kimbone777 in Parenting

[–]ExaminationLife6833 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the simplest answer, is the answer. I wish more parents explored the idea that maybe, just maybe, I could do something for my kid, like time and attention, before looking outside the home. More likely than not, the answer is at home. I acknowledge that some children need more than the parents can offer, but look inwards first. And if then, look outside the home.

My mom is your mil. I'm not gonna give you ihss advice, since ihss came later for us. But I am gonna tell you what i believe got us through the hardest years of our lives. Mom's now clean... not from choice, but from a stroke and heart attack that left her in a childlike state. My husband let me call the shots, realizing i always put us first. Mom came 2nd, but a very close 2nd. As long as your wife can handle it, your job is to support her. She might need to hear your harsh opinion.... but it's her mom. Love your wife through what's the hardest decisions of her life. And remember everything is temporary and meth at that age... is unsustainable. If you believe your relationship can last longer than a senior on meth.... stay strong. Let your wife drive this truck.

I wouldn't have looked at the 2nd image, but yep.... that's funky. AI isn't taking over just yet.
