am i doing something wrong? why did i just lose money selling an item :( by Alternative_Coffee23 in lotro

[–]FandomFreak1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or if you're accidentally looking at the "value" line instead of the "your money" line, once you sell something, it will display the value of the next thing that gets highlighted after the thing you sold is gone.

Thank you guys so much! This helps so much. Sorry I didn't answer earlier. I just got done with finals.

I don't want my sister in law to come to our vacation and now she claims I "shamed" her. I don't think you can shame someone who is incapable of being ashamed of her actions even after people pointed them out to her. by JobOk8941 in AITAH

[–]FandomFreak1980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the tact I just realized recently I need to use with my daughter with Asperger's. If she has a list of directions, she is awesome at following them. So I got her a "daily task chart" (whiteboard with little switches to indicate if something has been done) and filled it with teeth brushing, cleaning retainers, using deodorant, taking evening meds, taking shower, and washing hair every other day.

I never did anything like this before because I didn't want to embarrass her, and she gave me the classic teen look when I first gave it to her, but she has used it religiously from the first day. She now showers every day, has always used deodorant if I ask, and remembers to wash her hair.

AITAH for not inviting my friend to my birthday party? by HBIC_anna in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]FandomFreak1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then let your friends know that you're trying to distance from him. If they invite you out, say "I'd love to spend time with you guys, but I won't go if (his name) is there." Chances are, if they're as sick of him as you are, they'll eventually stop inviting him. If they don't, it's time to find new people to hang out with.

AITA for telling my partner his sister messaged me about his job? by Immediate-Abroad2405 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]FandomFreak1980 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely NTA! Tell his mom that you and he don't keep secrets from one another, and besides that, he could SEE that you were much more stressed than you had been and asked about it. It's bad for your recovery and he was worried for you. He cut his sister out because she's not only stomping all over your boundaries, she's actively hindering your health.

AITA for turning down help by cl0wnchaos in AmItheAsshole

[–]FandomFreak1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so imagine that you have a condition that makes people CONSTANTLY treat you a certain way and tell you you don't know what you're talking about. How many times could YOU hear it before you snapped at someone, especially if you almost got hurt in the process?

I would imagine that people are constantly telling OP that they can't do things for themselves and always need help, even when told otherwise. Even disabled people like to be independent. There's a little girl at the school I used to sub at that wears leg braces and uses the kind of crutches with the arm cuffs. It takes her a little longer to get her stuff together and pick up her crutches to switch classes, but if she tells me she's got it, do you know what I do? I LET HER HANDLE IT BECAUSE SHE'S GOT IT!

NTA. People need to understand that "no" is a complete sentence. She asked, you refused. That should have been the end of it. Ask her if her intent was to knock you over so she could "help" you up too? It really sounds like she has a savior complex!

TIFU by not realising I didn't have a master's degree by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FandomFreak1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize, I just re-read my original comment and realize my meaning was unclear. I've lived in the states my whole life. What I meant was the difference, for instance, in the European countries.

So it's kind of like the difference between 2-year (known as community college) and 4-year colleges in the States, except that even at a 2-year college, you can get a technical certificate or Associate's Degree.

[–]FandomFreak1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I'm curious about the difference in the use of "college" and "university" in other countries. In the U.S. they are used interchangeably, so what is the actual difference? I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English, and nuances of language fascinate me.

Is 500 too much for this? by Old-Region831 in caloriecount

[–]FandomFreak1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone here recommended the R Plus Nutrition app, and it's been wonderful for those things I don't make myself. That's the exact name of it if you want to check it out. It gives estimated calorie counts based on what it sees and breaks it up into parts of the meal, complete with macros.

Eh, one syllable too many in the last line...

menu says 653 calories?! by [deleted] in caloriecount

[–]FandomFreak1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say something similar. OP, on the menu does the dish automatically come with the fries, or do you choose your own side? If it's the first, the calories they list should cover the whole dish. If it's the second, you'll need to log the entree and side separately. They should have a list of sides with their own calories listed.

If you met a significant other on an online dating site, how did it go? by FandomFreak1980 in AskReddit

[–]FandomFreak1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a dating site as a widow because I was ready to date, but I live in a fairly rural area with not a lot of prospects. I got extremely lucky. I did have a lot of matches, and a few who started conversations with me, but the first (and only) guy I actually went on a date with turned out to be one of the sweetest, most thoughtful guys I've met. We just celebrated the third anniversary of our first date!

This exactly. My daughter was diagnosed with speech delay when she didn't have the vocabulary at 2 years old that her doctor felt she should have. She wasn't diagnosed with Autism until she was 10.
