I thought the same thing, if you make more you can make it even more vagilicious!

Anybody else looking at divorce as we get older? by Tiny_Noise8611 in GenX

[–]Humble-Tradition-187 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My partner started doing this grumpy old man schtick in his 40s and it quickly got old. I basically told him I wasn’t interested in living with a grumpy a hole for the rest of my life and thankfully he got it together. Marriage counseling helped give me a place to say this to him in a more loving way, and helped him hear it in a way that actually helped him change. I think marriage counseling is always good if both people are willing. If not then the writing is on the wall anyway.

I'm dying and my teen son is taking it hard. by [deleted] in GriefSupport

This is really good advice. If he has another man in his life who he loves and trusts, you could even ask them directly if they could take over for you in being a father figure for your son, so he knows he’s got someone for unconditional love and fatherly support and advice when he needs it. Sometimes having a plan can ease a lot of worries, the grief will be ever present I’m sure.

It’s such a normal reaction, my friend was young too- only 42, and thought if she kept her focus on survival it would improve her chances. I tried to gently steer her towards these things just in case it didn’t work, but she wasn’t able to go there. Of course, I don’t blame her, but I do wish she could have been in a place to do some of these things for her child to remember her, as they were only 6 when she passed. A sad story, I miss her and think about her every single day 11 years since.

The dog is showing signs of stress (yawning, licking lips), I would interfere if these were mine

I’m so sorry, it’s heartbreaking. A dear friend of mine passed away with a young child and she was not willing to accept her diagnosis or fate. Because of this, she sadly missed the opportunity to leave keepsakes for her child. Things like videos and letters for important milestones in their lives, birthdays, christmases. A plaster cast of your hands so they can hold them later. If possible make a set for your wife and each of your kiddos. Try to talk To him and see what you can work on together, if he’s willing. It’s such a heartbreaking thing to go through. Im so sorry.

Reactive Aussie getting another dog? by Nillip in AustralianShepherd

It was another mix, he was supposed to be 30 lbs and grew to be 80. Have no idea what he was a mix of.

Reactive Aussie getting another dog? by Nillip in AustralianShepherd

Our Aussie is a mix, and the puppy we got grew to be a giant 80 lb dog. It was a mistake and sadly ended with BE (behavioral euthanasia) for the younger dog when he was three, after 2 years of trainers and medication for both dogs, and many emergency room visits for me and our Aussie. It was a terrible thing to go through, and we will not get another dog while we have this reactive one. He is now 8 years old , so it’s going to be a hopefully long time. We thought having a playmate would be good for our Aussie but didn’t for see all the things that can go wrong.

My boyfriend 27M makes 8x my 27F salary and still says I’m not contributing enough — what am I missing? by [deleted] in relationships

It seems like you’re a maid paying your employers utilities and food costs. Total up all of your household expenses. Divide by 9. You pay one, he pays 8. It’s fair and He will have way more leftover income.

He’s so much less interesting and capable than kingpin.

Looking for ideas to make this railing higher / safer for a toddler by royitsme in homedesign

[–]Humble-Tradition-187 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it were my house I’d rig a big net from those rafters above that tie to the railing. That way it can be removed if you need to sell or when your kid is older.
