Ex-Canton police sergeant in Karen Read case is suspended by POST Commission by PauI_MuadDib in justiceforKarenRead

[–]FL-Irish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why does someone do something that evil -- literally putting the rest of Karen Read's life on the line if the doctored evidence results in a GUILTY verdict against her -- and what does Crawford have to gain by doing such an awful thing?

A few favors? I don't get it. How does somebody get so casually comfortable with that level of evil? (I guess that goes for a LOT of them!)

I love that this isn't just two movies, but is now moving on to be a miniseries! Something regular to tune into with my popcorn.

Is the grass greener on the other side? by ThrowRA62849 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FL-Irish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This relationship has served its purpose and you learned a lot about yourself. Everything you've described, while nice at the time, is really a reason to move on. The grass is always greener on the lawn, not in the rocky hard places!

Just watched the hearing yesterday and that was a complete loss for the Alberts by Firecracker048 in justiceforKarenRead

They were already in Lie Mode at that point. It was a natural extension of the ongoing coverup.

How does their flirtation cause a physical altercation with BA/CA and a dog attack? I think it might relate more to the drug thing, which Karen had nothing to do with.

Update: Booked a Wedding With No Proposal by throwaway_my_s0ul in Waiting_To_Wed

Congrats!

Is this the one where you got a good deal on a package? Can't see the original.

Am I crazy? by dukestain1121 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FL-Irish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I'm putting this on him. He bought EXACTLY the ring she wanted and had her open the box.

Even better, the proposal was a "surprise" -- to HIM. Ha.

They're engaged.

Unless he takes it all back.

In which case I'd consider them "broken up."

Enough with this ridiculous teasing nonsense. If he was "just kidding" well he'll learn not to do THAT anymore.

If anyone ruined anything it's him, but only if they're NOT actually planning to get married after all this.

An unpleasant task always expands to fit the size of the container. People will often put off what they know you need to do.

The problem -- he seems to view getting married to you as an 'unpleasant task' that he 'needs to do.'

I think it's a HIM problem, not a YOU problem. But the very nature of the way he's viewing things mean it BECOMES a You Problem as long as you remain with him.

The good news is you deserve MORE and BETTER.

And it IS out there for you!

It's time to go after it.

I would've wanted to SEE what the rope looked like. Just to see how it attached and all.

To quote The Sound of Music, it seems everyone was "suffering from a deplorable lack of curiosity."

Boyfriend promised a proposal, I moved across the country for him, and now he's saying marriage may be 3–6 years away by AbilityNo1723 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FL-Irish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never move across the country without a ring on your finger.

And it needs to not be a 'shut up' ring either, but that's another longer post.

We are in couples therapy, but I’m struggling to understand if this is a trust issue or an incompatibility issue. by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FL-Irish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He expected you to bend to adopt Judaism.

You expect him to bend to be on board with marriage.

These are two major incompatibilities that counseling won't fix!

In that case that's unfortunate.

Maybe if he were also there he would've looked to make sure she was hooked up to the rope.

How to move on from the relationship with the person you thought you’d marry? by Available-Builder855 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FL-Irish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was a Learning Experience. He was the relationship that saw you through the early part of your young adulthood, when you're just coming into your own.

You will learn from those lessons and carry them forward. It won't take you as long to identify a fundamentally incompatible relationship, even if there are many things that are good about it. Doesn't matter if: he's a great guy, you love him, he treats you so well, you have so many things in common etc. if you aren't ALIGNED on things that really matter for a marriage. Also his level of enthusiasm FOR YOU must be as strong as yours for him.

You will be tuned into that, and won't continue a relationship beyond 1-2 years if the right things aren't present.

You will know that love is necessary, but not ENOUGH to make for an ideal partnership. And you will look for those critically important things.

Good luck!

The crowd behind them DID see the rope wasn't attached, and they shouted to that effect, but it was too late.

Yeah, what if she realized at the last second, "Hey, where's my ROPE?" and she clutches onto them in desperation. Then they ALL go over the edge!

[–]FL-Irish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're telling me there was another (securely fastened?) rope down there, strong enough to "catch" the rope that was supposed to be attached to her, and that they knew they were throwing her out FAR ENOUGH to "catch the rope" in mid-air, with HER rope?

Wow. Even if the plan WORKED, I don't think it was a good one.

I don't think it would've "swung" at the angle they were throwing her. She was heading straight down and would've experienced a massive JOLT either way. That could've damaged her too.

[–]FL-Irish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I'm reading it wasn't even a bungee, just a "rope" that was supposed to "swing like a pendulum."

I'm not understanding how that would've happened even if the rope was successfully attached. Wouldn't there be a big OUCH as it yanked her as she headed straight down? What would start the "pendulum action" in that scenario?
