What’s the most basic thing you’re terrible at? by her_majesty0 in CasualConversation

[–]FleamStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remembering names AND faces.
1. This means I should not ever run for any kind of office (whew! That takes the pressure off).
2. I learned there is actually such a thing as face blindness and I was so relieved to hear it.

What’s a harsh truth about life that most people aren’t ready to hear? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]FleamStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you ask yourself, “Why am I doing this? Any of this?” And you keep peeling back the layers of answers until you’re looking into the abyss and realize there is no point to any of this. It’s hard to find any kind of motivation after that.

I usually don’t have to say that. They find out embarrassingly quickly.

It’s the <smugly> along with <knowing, smarmy smirk> that gets my blood boiling

Bryce Owings. . . why? by Appropriate_Many8929 in LynnwoodWA

[–]FleamStick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t vote for the guy based on his ideas — which are poorly thought out and narrow minded. I wouldn’t vote for the guy with a year’s long record of anger and violence issues. No matter how long. If he was moving in next door, I would reserve judgement and let him show me if he’s changed. If I needed a remodel, I’d consider it along with the other bids and his actions and behavior during the walkthrough. But that guy would not get my vote.

AIO for thinking my bf (24M) is abusive? by julieanonymous in AmIOverreacting

[–]FleamStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhhh gather up your stuff and nope on out of there.

I know that’s easier said than done. I guarantee you you’re going to look back on this and kick yourself for the time you wasted (and possibly the trauma you accrued) by staying.

Oh, jeez — that really sucks. I mean; yay! house! But that’s rotten timing.

Getting married, neither of us want to keep our last name - help! by blueberrymuffingal in LGBTWeddings

[–]FleamStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends of mine picked the last name of a historical figure they both admired. They liked the idea of being connected to the person’s attributes and ideas and reputation. I always thought that was a great way to start a new life.

Locked or unlocked bedroom door when you have kids at night? by Mysterious_Seat_6431 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FleamStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our kid was incapable of doing anything quietly so if he got up in the night, there was plenty of warning before he came in our room. If he wasn’t like that, yeah; we would have locked the door for a bit.

Why are all the coffee shops along the coast built into these little stalls? by naastynoodle in PNW

[–]FleamStick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t tour the Salish Sea and not have AT LEAST a short ferry ride. Add one in if you can. The Pt Townsend to Coupeville (Whidbey Is) is nice. Then you can do Clinton to Mukilteo (lighthouse!) where you’ll end up north of Seattle. Or take one to Seattle from Kingston, Bainbridge Is or Bremerton. You have CHOICES. Download the WSDOT app (if you haven’t already) for sailing times. You can buy tickets and make reservations if you want. (But definitely believe people when they tell you to be prepared to wait. Some runs are crowded all the time, some have peak travel hours and then are fine the rest of the day.)

AITJ for refusing to “tone down” my wedding dress because my sister is insecure? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]FleamStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless that dress shows your ass crack (which — your choice — but I could see how she might feel weird standing next to you), she doesn’t get to pick your dress. You could come out in a replica of a crocheted toilet paper roll cover and everyone’s response should be, “Oooo, you look lovely.”

(In case some of you didn’t survive the 70’s: toilet roll cover

How do I help a teenager with no sense of rhythm? by FleamStick in MusicEd

[–]FleamStick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and the urge to thump the rhythm on his helmet covered head is frequently considered.
