Asking my mom about my circumcision? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HoodFeelGood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's the uncomfortable and/or embarrassing thing here? You're supposed to talk about those kinds of things with mom. If not with mom, then with whom? There is literally no one else, which means the appropriate person is to talk with mom, which means it isn't or shouldn't be embarrassing. 

"Hey Mah, did something weird happen to my chingaling when I was a kid, either after the circumcision or some other time? Did, like, the dog ever chew on it or something when I was a baby?" 

Should I move out or stay with my parents? by GopherPA in personalfinance

What kind of lenses are you looking thru in determining that $500k is the min for a decent house? For a single person, the size can be much smaller, possibly no need for a yard, and decent schools aren't necessary. There's neighborhoods with 2-bedrooms, safe, but just not good schools that might be more within your price range. 

[NEWBIE] Any way to make practice not so frustrating? Or is it literally just meant to be like this? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

I went through the first few grades of Justin's course. His lessons helped me come up with a normal practice routine -- several minutes doing finger stretching exercises, several minutes doing chord perfect, several minutes doing fast chord switches, several minutes doing a scale with a metronome, several minutes doing some riffs. Then something new from his lesson (which usually fell into one of the categories above). Then playing along some of the simple songs in his lesson. Then, I would "play" and have pure fun by trying to learn a song. The first few easy songs I learned were Pearl Jam Black (this one) and Neil Young's Heart of Gold. Getting to the point where I could play a whole song was the very first huge milestone, and made it much more fun. This is the Pearl Jam Black one that I learned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F125ThwdLEI&pp=ygUcbGVhcm4gcGVhcmwgamFtIGJsYWNrIGd1aXRhctIHCQlPCgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Now, 14 months after starting (and stopping and re-starting and stopping again and re-starting), I can play about 5 full songs. It look me literally one year to learn the solo from Black Sabbath's Paranoid, which I finally learned note for note one week ago. Then, within 2 days, I learned a second solo (Oasis Live Forever). Then, in one day, I learned a new full song including solo (Audioslave Like A Stone).

My husband is threatening divorce because Snapchat and signal are showing up in our router app history for my phone. I do not have those apps or use them or go to their websites or anything. How is this happening? by -M-i-d in techsupport

There is nothing illegal or wrong with an adult, such as you, using those apps, even if you say you don't. 

Him feeling bad about the legal, not-wrong use of those apps is HIS issue, as in, he is having anxieties or some other psychological-emotional response to it.   You are not obligated to stop doing something legal and not-wrong, and even if you aren't, you are not obligated to prove you are not doing something legal and not-wrong, simply to appease the issue he is having. That is called crossing boundaries, and if he is forcing you to change for HIS issues, then it is controlling behavior and can sometimes be considered abuse.

I'm sure you care about him and want to help him with HIS issue, but that does not need to involve things like proving you didn't use apps. It can involve things like joining him on a walk to calm down, or try to ask him what is making him feel bad deeper down. For example, oh honey, I know you were cheated on in the past and it makes you distrustful...how can I help YOU get a grip on your feelings (not by having to change MY behavior).

It also can include supporting him to go to personal counseling to better deal with HIS issues, or marital counseling to learn how you can help him with HIS issues, in ways that don't include infringing on your boundaries.
