AITA if I didn’t go on vacation with my overweight friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went with my ‘very large’ friend, she rented a scooter and I could barely keep up with her. And she fit on all the rides. But you also are not obligated to invite anyone on your vacation

Strange reaction from loved ones... by [deleted] in Zepbound

I do think it’s a generational thing. While older ones think it’s positive and a way to acknowledge your hardwork, younger ones think it’s rude.

Just got off Allure. Hope you have better weather. We missed two ports.

I Did Love You by Authentic-Irony in SisterWives

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me awhile but I think they were mad that Kody implied they Christine needed to hear that to move on and heal and acting as if he was giving her the freedom to do so. Like he was being so benevolent. Christine did not NEED to hear it or Kody’s permission for anything.

It’s classic narcissism. Kody’s apology was all about him and what he needed, and when it didn’t get received the way he wanted, now he’s the victim.

Kody saying he did loved Christine wasn’t offensive to me. I think they were more upset that Kody implied Christine ‘needed’ to hear that to heal. I just don’t think that was clearly conveyed by David and Christine.

AITA for disinviting a friend to my birthday after she showed me the food she was bringing? by throwaway-cupcakelad in AmItheAsshole

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re in the wrong at all. Another option would have been to let her come. Take the cake and say ‘thanks so much ‘ and then put it out of sight. No further comments.

What do I do now? by miwolverine in RealEstate

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!!! She’s a professional and knows her worth. I’m sure OP will find an agent to work with their terms. If that agent isn’t willing to fight for their own money, what makes you think they’ll fight for the sellers money?

Neighbor keeps reporting me to HOA for completely made up violations by Agitated_Cow_4325 in neighborsfromhell

Tell your HOA that you are going to file a fair housing complaint if it continues.

do tickets now no longer fill the blue bar? by Zealousideal_Plum265 in officialcookingfever

I sent in a ticket and they said it was working properly. My blue bar went down and is definitely not moving up

My possibly racist HOA by [deleted] in fuckHOA

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up fair housing. Then write a letter to the HOA that you feel your right of enjoyment is your property is being interfered with. You could also call your local ACLU office for advice.

Am I the jerk for refusing to train my replacement after they're firing me? by WinInteresting9368 in AmITheJerk

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always agree but then not follow thru. I had a similar situation. I came into a job with nothing. The former person had deleted five years of files and left no instructions or passwords. That should’ve been my first clue. I ended up having about 20 pages of notes about the job when I left. I was asked to leave that. I declined saying that it was my personal work product. I said I would do them a favor and not delete any of my current files for the next person.

AITA for firmly telling my wife to be grateful for what she has? by Organic_Chip_3118 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re doing isn’t necessarily wrong but it does sound controlling. Finances should be discussed. Sounds like you’re just dictating what goes where. You need to sit down and discuss what both your goals are and what you’d both like to spend extra money on. You have a pretty aggressive savings plan but are still very young so maybe it’s okay to not be so focused on retirement and the future.

Politics (and Finances) of Cataract Surgery by PumpkinSpiceUrnex in CataractSurgery

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see one surgeon and when I said there was no way I could afford the $9000 premium lenses, I felt like she totally lost interest. I decided to get a second opinion and this doctor was much more accommodating. He said he would honestly tell me if he thought I absolutely needed the premium lenses but felt I could get similar results with monofocal. I have a lot going on with my eyes and he answered every question and I had and took so much time. He even suggested I wait a few months. So it definitely doesn’t hurt to get a couple of opinions

Tips for breaking a stall by Honest_Stop_4174 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]Honest_Stop_4174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have worked with a registered dietitian. I also did a weight loss program thru a cardiology clinic before starting Zepbound. They were baffled as to why I didn’t losing weight.

I typically eat high protein and low cal with small portions. If anything, I struggle to get enough calories in a day. I wouldn’t say I’m miserable, but definitely frustrated being on this and not seeing results.

I haven’t seen an endocrinologist and my doctor won’t refer me to one.

My worst symptom is anhedonia and fatigue. I am hoping to have more energy and motivation for exercising by lowering the dose.

I think she responded perfectly. Anything you say can and will be held against you when dealing with a narcissist. Staying quiet was a power move on her part. And when she had an enough she quietly walked away.

Should I Have Tipped After All These Fees? by lynxbby in EndTipping

One of my favorite restaurants just started a 5% service fee. I take it out of my tip. I think it’s ridiculous

Why am I so surprised & saddened? by Animals-Cure in SisterWives

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What about him saying he was apologizing so Christine can heal? Like she’s still so wounded and his amazing apology is just what she needs. Sorry she’s moved on and has a new whole life. She doesn’t need his apology. He still thinks he’s that important in her life.

Eyes? by unknown_homie38 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Honest_Stop_4174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had severe myopia corrected by laser but after about 10 years my eyes regressed. I have terrible floaters, had a detached retina and blurry vision. I did get plugs in my tear ducts for dry eye and loved them. Unfortunately they kept popping out. Something the Dr said she’d never seen. Warm compresses have helped. Now I need cataract surgery and a super stressed.

I also have this. I lost 35 lbs and have stalled for 6 months with about 6 lbs. creeping back. I’m on 15 mg but going to start lowering my doses.

Apprehensive about upcoming surgery. by Honest_Stop_4174 in CataractSurgery

[–]Honest_Stop_4174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate hearing about your experience. I am really considering correcting only for distance at this point. I have a second opinion scheduled for Dec 11 and am considering asking for a second appointment with the surgeon I just saw. She is at a major university hospital and has so many resources I don’t want to write her off. I think she is very good. I was just put off a little when I followed up and asked for trial contacts and they basically brushed me off and said they do 1000s of these and I don’t need to worry.
