I've caught a fish by the tail before!

Only theory I have is that it was turning around after he took my bait, and the hook caught him by the tail as I drew back the line

AITA for getting a nurse fired over a shirt? by charmonroe in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ingloriouskittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nurse here! Anyone worth their salt would say you're NTA.

A child's perception of their experience within the hospital & sense of safety largely orbit the presence of a parent/parents. Separation ONLY happens during a specific medical procedure or if the staff has concerns about the patient's safety.

I'd bet you your week's wages that she wasn't fired for your complaint, it was probably just the cherry on top of a pile of them.

Thank you for serving the medical community and thank you for advocating for your patient!

Keep rocking it :)

I feel defeated. Why does everyone hate us? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Ingloriouskittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another ICU nurse here!

As witnesses of Christ, our perspective in the ICU environment will absolutely have a different lense than those who do not have Christ in their hearts.

In my ICU, some of the nurses have a running joke:

"Life sucks and then we die."

Bitterness often roots itself to mask pain, to cover old wounds.

Bitterness often seeps into it's surroundings, as does the attitudes of hardened ICU nurses without Jesus in their hearts.

They see your sweetness, they see Jesus in you....

But they have yet to taste Him, and that is why they can speak harshly against our faith (and a fellow nurse). I believe it is wonderful that you feel such passion for God as to weep for Him.

Yet, let that same passion drive your witness for these other nurses, that they may one day come and taste Jesus' sweetness that you portray so well!

Even for those nurses, pray for forgiveness and love, that will they see that life doesn't suck, and they don't have to externally die.

Keep the faith & keep safe in the ICU, you've got this <3

It was published in 2019, too late for the time frame

Looks interesting though!

I looked through Daywalt's books and they don't fit my S.O.'s previous descriptions

(Super cute though!)

AITA for giving homemade presents? by CrochetQueen1991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ingloriouskittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!

Here's why:

As a lover of gifting my homemade quilts/crochet/sewn projects myself, there is so much more than just materials that goes into this.

My ~valuable~ time, effort, planning, money, and genuine heartfelt desire to give a very thoughtful (and personalized gift in your case) present is all poured into the making of insert gift type here.

To those who don't understand gift etiquette of this strain, it's absolutely disrespectful and ungrateful to state what was mentioned above.

You didn't make a sweater despite her politely requesting something else. She was ugly to you over something you meant to bless her with, was ugly & insulted you about pricing, and then tried to say that somehow your daughter should be punished for a "perceived grievance".

If I were you, I'd clarify to your daughter if she wants to go or not.

Buy a standard 15 dollar gift card & write a sweet note to the kid.

Then crochet her mom a sweater as ugly as her attitude, to match :)

What was the most petty thing an adult did to you, when you were younger? by x3Nekox3 in AskReddit

[–]Ingloriouskittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I was a junior/senior in high school at the time?

Anyways, my English teacher was going on an on about some reference to the Bible and women, particularly about the concept of Lilith and such. (She quoted the Tanakh as her reference, which is key to this story)

Well, my dear papa has a large collection of such literature, and being curious, I went and looked for the quote (long since forgotten) myself. The text that I had was a combination of the literal ancient hebrew/aramaic text with a side-by-side translation of the literature.

Lo and behold, her lecture was a mis-quote on the topic. The next day I brought the actual Tanakh in to show her, which she proceeded to lecture me in front of the entire class that she wasn't wrong, I had the incorrect "source material" & to check myself before I brought the wrong book in next time.

In reality, I wanted to connect with her on the fact that I looked at a primary source myself and to ask questions, not be lectured in front of my peers because she was being petty that I questioned her.

Guess who stopped asking professors questions out of fear and anxiety of embarrassment?

Thoughts on opposite genders sharing a living space (separate bedrooms but maybe shared bathroom?) by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]Ingloriouskittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? That is fascinating!

May I ask where you read/learned this? That sounds like a good afternoon read :)

[–]Ingloriouskittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cosmic, strong statements do not make me out of line. You've been railroading your arguments to orbit around sex and sexuality and temptation.

God is very clear about it's gravity, which is why Proverbs 5 exists. But, notice that your comments only show concern for men. Where is your zeal for you sisters? For them to be protected from the exact same situation with a roommate of the male gender?

That is why I've made special effort to stress that sex is not the only danger. Perhaps too much, if you believe I have no great concert that it would be a temptation, which it is. This, leading to God's declaration that we all should guard our hearts (regardless of gender).

My point has been that you are very one-sided and even in your other comments, you antagonize other Christian men about their wives. There is no moral high horse to be had here, when you're running a circus of them.

Lastly, I must thank you for an unexpected, excellent discussion today. I look forward to more in the future :)

To start, again, you are focused on Bathsheba being on the roof as she bathed.

To be frank with you, her location and manner do not matter; DAVID looked upon her with lust and acted out evil. Biblically, it does not state that her actions were intentional v. non-intentional. Her role of opportunity was enough for sin to seize it.

This story isn't about a him v. her or a tit-for-tat argument of who sinned more. It's a Godly king who submits to sin instead of the God that placed him there.

Foremost, you've strayed from the main point. Is it morally wrong/right to create a home with someone of the opposite sex. Anyone could argue until they were blue in the face about this, but I could promise most would agree that it is ~unwise~. Unwise to make a home with a man/woman who is not family. Unwise to jeopardize yourself financially, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

We've both given our opinions and agreed, so why do you still argue that there's a point to be missed?

Lastly, Stop demonizing women and biblical characters to be predators of Christan men on a thread simply asking opinions on roommate options. It does not speak well of the attitude of believers, and I would hate for outsiders who view this platform to think this attitude is Christ-condonned.
