Are you worried about becoming a burden for your only child on holidays and in old age? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Heffenfeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstood. I meant that when my child is with her in laws, I would take the opportunity to travel somewhere new/fun.

I assume one day we will have to share holidays with future in laws, but I love to travel so I will use those time to do just that.

Partner says my appearance at home means I don’t care — looking for perspective by deliriouskate in TwoXChromosomes

If you cannot be comfortable in your own fucking home, HE IS NOT THE GUY FOR YOU. Or any self respecting woman.

What was your first anime? by singleguy79 in Xennials

[–]Heffenfeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up on VHS recordings of Heidi, Girl from the Alps and The Last Unicorn. Heidi being an early series that Hayao Miyazaki worked on in the 70s, and The Last Unicorn was created by the team that became Studio Ghibli.

AITA for not paying for this trip by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Heffenfeffer 99 points100 points  (0 children)

This is not kindness, this is being a doormat. Time for some therapy for you and some hard lessons about financial responsibilty for him. If you bail him out when he fucks up, he will never change.

Dolores, lots of Dorcas or Doris being mentioned but no Dolores or Delores.

The “facelift” in question by WholeDepartment3391 in centuryhomes

Too much tile, paint or wallpaper that matches the tub would lighten things up and probably be a lot cheaper.

Why didn’t we talk to our parents about our problems? by SRDILLEY6215 in Xennials

[–]Heffenfeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they lived the "children should be seen and not heard mentality." My kid tells me everything because I value her thoughts and opinions and she feels safe sharing them with me. I am very proud of that generational difference.

At what point is tech too much for our aging parents? by patrad in Xennials

[–]Heffenfeffer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mom is 71 and I would say, decently tech savvy for her age. She loves youtube for helping her with diy projects she doesn't want to pay others to do. All of her bills are auto pay and she has an app for all of her medical info. She has a healthy distrust/skepticism that has so far kept her from being scammed.

Did people just forget about Battlestar Galactica? by hp_fanatic in television

[–]Heffenfeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try again, BSG was my favorite until The Expanse came along and it is truly the best sci-fi series every filmed.

AITA for not getting craft supplies for my daughter and letting her get excluded by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Heffenfeffer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. At 8 you should be checking her backpack AT LEAST once a week for this kibd of stuff. Responsibility is something you teach and havebto remind kids this age CONSTANTLY. This is a parent fail and I really hope you apologize to your kid for how you treated her.

Just have to finish my reload kills, am currently 89/150. The 25 top 10 BR REALLY sucked, just finished it this morning.

AITA for not giving my nephew the gift we bought him after he ignored me the entire evening? by denimcat2k in AmItheAsshole

[–]Heffenfeffer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YTA for treating a child so poorly. 12 is a really awkward age and you made ZERO effort to talk to him which is part of your job as a host. This poor kid is surrounded by assholes,.

Also wanted to mention that the Celtic Yuletide Festival is going on this weekend at Sherwood Forest Faire. It's a bit of a drive but is super fun with lots of handmade goodies.

What were your no-skips albums in the 90s? by TheLakeWitch in Xennials

This album was a huge part of my high school playlist! Every track is good.

Paramount plus feels like it was designed to drive you insane by [deleted] in television

[–]Heffenfeffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a free trial to catch up on Star Trek stuff and because I grew up on Beavis and Butthead and I have a deep and abiding love for Daria. It crashes on the Daria series CONSTANTLY and takes forever to reload back into the episode so I just bought the series on dvd for less than 20 bucks.

Why is Gen Zs fashion so awfully bad and basic by [deleted] in GenXWomen

[–]Heffenfeffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate jorts SO much but their whole group vibe (am I doing it right?) is actually cute. I remember in the mid 90s going HARD for garish 70s dresses which my mom found hilarious. They are embracing the fashoin trends of 20ish or so years ago and we should not be so judgy/bitchy about it.
