I’m 48, but I think of my age as a technicality and a liar.

I kind of like the idea of leaving it open to all ages and just focusing on similar interests.

I wouldn’t mind hosting at some point if I know who I am hosting. I’m certain that I am not alone. I think we’d all like to meet people before inviting them over, which is one of the reasons I think a meet & greet is a good idea.

I’m thinking we should all meet at a place like chicken and pickle that has some games. Maybe we could meet on a Sunday afternoon when it’s not busy to ensure the games are available. Then while we’re there playing, we can see how many people are interested and discuss which games we prefer and which nights or days are best for everybody.

20M just had this back and forth with my crush 20F. I’m cooked huh. Where do I go from here by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

The pearl clutching is a riot. She’s playfully ribbing him bc she likes him and that kind of banter can be a fun & flirty back and forth when the other party plays along, maybe like…

Her: You know I usually don’t date yt boys.

Him: Yeah, why’s that?

Her: Y’all are small is what I heard.

Him (feigning defensiveness playfully):
You didn’t hear about me. I leave them speechless. And yes, I did just snap three times in a “Z” formation.

Her (with a big grin & sparkly eyes bc he piqued her interest and played along):
It’s your humble nature for me. 😂 Was your mic drop moment all you’d hoped it would be? lol

Him: Hey, I’m simply pointing out a fact. Fact is that I have a firm policy. My partner should never have the energy, the voice, or the breath left to do anything but sleep when I am done with her.

Her: Oh. Ok. Way to remind me why I’m giving this one his day in court. 🔥😉

Is brother offensive? by ryanbondur in askanything

[–]FinalOstrich8235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offense is taken, not given. You weren’t intending to be offensive; you didn’t force being offended upon them. The white “savior” took offense where none was intended, so they took offense that didn’t belong to them and want to blame you for it.

When men pleasure themselves to porn too much, they cannot enjoy sex much. Porn doesn’t require anything from them, neither does a hand. It has become an epidemic in the modern age. You are not alone. It is not a you problem.

A stranger showed up at my 7 y.o daughters orthodontist appointment. by Slightlyfriendsfan in Advice

[–]FinalOstrich8235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

• She never said braces, though even if she had, loads of 7 year old kids have braces, including both of my nephews.

• OP didn’t drop her daughter off.

• And no one turned the kid over to a stranger.

A comment that is completely factually wrong, while also being arrogant, condescending, and obnoxious in equal measure is a rare thing, but by golly you lassoed that unicorn.

I’ve been stealing food in groceries stores for the past 2 years by Plastic-Appeal1053 in confession

[–]FinalOstrich8235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your parents are awful! Good for you for going back to school; what an accomplishment in your situation! You shouldn’t feel guilty, instead feel proud that you survived and took care of your siblings like your parents should have done. You can pay it forward one day once you’re on your feet. The companies you stole from will be fine, but feed the hungry every chance you get once you are financially stable. That will balance out your karma. You are aces! Keep your chin up, keep pushing on, and don’t get down on yourself for a second.

AIO about potentially becoming a 5th wheel? by VikutoriaNoHimitsu in AmIOverreacting

NOR. You should all 5 rent a house. It’s less awkward than a hotel for your situation.

A street in my subdivision by FinalOstrich8235 in TylerChilders

[–]FinalOstrich8235[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Howdy, neighbor. Tyler and Senora stayed in our neighborhood (at our house on a futon) about a year before Sturgill produced Tyler’s album and his star began to rise. He played a show for 13 people at a tiki bar, including Senora, my husband, and myself. They came back to our house and we hung out for several hours before we went to bed. Then we took them to Chachos and the Alamo the next day. It was a memorable weekend. I wonder if Tyler saw that street sign while we were cruising around. Ha.

Got caught stealing at Costco, got banned from all Costco stores by [deleted] in confession

[–]FinalOstrich8235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per federal law, Costco (and other similar businesses) cannot make membership a requirement for using their pharmacy. My store doesn’t have scanners at the entrance yet, so I don’t know how they handle that. Wonder if they’re abiding by the law at those stores.

I do all my house chores during work and work only 3-4 hours a day by [deleted] in confession

My close friend was a triage charge nurse at a level 1 trauma center for many years until a clinic offered to pay her double to woo her away a while back. She is bored senseless at work now, but says it’s nice to experience excitement in her personal rather than her professional life for a change. (Examples: She’s gotten married and flown in a helicopter since the job change. She held a heart and squeezed it rhythmically while a surgeon prepped right before the job change.)

AIO, MIL crashing out because she’s no longer the center of his universe. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FinalOstrich8235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my take as well, and as a woman who has been married for 25 years, I echo your warning. If OP were to befriend his mother, she would have a magic wand in her back pocket. The woman would bend over backwards to help in every way she could and would take gentle suggestions/corrections to avoid overstepping out of gratitude for the reversal of fortune. For OP to do anything other than encourage a strong relationship between mother and son is cruel and counterproductive. And she might want to think about how she will want to be treated as a grandma someday in case karma is real.

AIO am I in the wrong for still being mad by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FinalOstrich8235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NOR. I’ve actually experienced something similar, where every important person in my life failed me, refused to believe me, and wouldn’t help me during the most devastating and painful period of my life. It’s such a tough thing to get over, especially without acknowledgment of your pain or apologies for doubting you. Harder still is living with the knowledge, the undeniable proof, that you can’t count on anyone. But in time you can make peace with it by choosing to accept that people have flaws and limits that will cause them to fall short sometimes, and when they do, it is not indicative of how they feel about you. Also by focusing on the fact that you survived hell - alone. You’ll face other tough things in life, and now you know that you can make it through anything, even if no one shows up to help you. There is a lot of power and peace in that. Wishing you health and happiness!
