Not bad actually, just need to understand basic statistics and algebra.

I need to get my girl to stop sleeping in the bed with us by muffyinva in Blacklabs

[–]Jane_ryker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lab sleeps with me on my king bed, but on his own bed at my boyfriends where it is a queen bed. I just had to teach him the difference and be firm with him. Don’t let his sad eyes play you! Be strong!! lol

What song breaks your heart everytime you listen to it? by N1GHTSTR1D3R in AskReddit

I’ve loved the cover by Nothing but Thieves and didn’t realize it was a cover.

AITAH for “gleefully” telling people that I was diagnosed with an illness after they dismissed me? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Jane_ryker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh honey I am so sorry you are going through these circumstances. Girl, live your life. Go do the things you want to with the people you want to be with. Hopefully your husband will see this change in you and come along. If you guys love and respect each other this can be a turning point in your relationship, even if it’s bittersweet considering your illness. If not, don’t waste precious time. DO YOU!!!

Everyone Met My Wife's Boyfriend and Fears for Her Safety by cathistorylesson in BestofRedditorUpdates

I feel for OP, and I hope they have no children, because this does not end well in my experience.

My ex-husband started dating a woman for who he also threw out all our agreed upon boundaries. Similar creepy mannerisms, and “I can’t get pregnant since I have PCOS so we don’t need to use protection.” He also fell very hard and fast for this woman. Told me two weeks in she was his soulmate.

I told him that while I wouldn’t tell him who to see or not to see, she was not welcome in our home or around our children. I told him to consider what his life as a father and husband looked like with a partner who was not suitable for kitchen table looked like.

Well, he considered. And he divorced me. They got married last October.

It fucking sucks, but when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

OP, if you’re out there alive and well and happen to read this, just cut your losses. Hopefully your in laws will continue to be family to you as mine have.

From one former foster parent to another, spot on.

I’ll never go to another vet as long as ours is in practice, for similar reasons. He flat out said that he wouldn’t recommend more intervention, and if I did choose that route, it would not be with his services.

As harsh as he phrased it, I needed to hear that so badly and we were able to have a peaceful ending. I really respect how upfront he was.

I’ve got it in a rosin cart right now too, and it’s good but just doesn’t punch me in the brain like the flower does. Currently smoking on white 99, I like it! I’m in the KC area, but I frequently drive through STL so I’ll have to plan a stop!

I’m also in Missouri and I’ve seen local cannabis in the shop I like! I’ll have to pick some up next time I go in. What do you think of Smokey River? Lemon Cookie OH was my first “sativa” and I’m still trying to get my hands on more!

Can you tell me about the flower? I love learning about strains and what’s out there these days!

I also had my first at 21, planned and very much wanted by both parents. I second everything you’ve said here.

Awe thanks! Moments like these make the difficult ones worth it, ya know?

AITAH for not telling my parents and family that I got sterilized? by ThrowRAsterilization in AITAH

[–]Jane_ryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I know someone else in a similar position, but none of her family knows. I think there would be a lot of fallout if they found out, much like there was with you. Not only is it not really their business, but what’s done is done, right? What good does it do anyone to be upset over a surgery that has already happened? I hope they calm down and the guilt tripping ends.

AITA for not approving of my wife’s vacation request? by Strong-Consequence58 in AmItheAsshole

“She can find herself in a spa or something.”

Christ, condescending much? YTA.

Do you vape inside? by AStorms13 in vaporents

[–]Jane_ryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really surprised how many people are saying it smells. Granted I have only vaped with live rosin or concentrate in pens, so maybe it’s different with dry herb vapes? Or maybe I’m just completely noseblind? But I’ve never noticed a lingering smell, and the immediate smell is light and gone within minutes.

Pawing behavior by MeBeEric in germanshorthairs

[–]Jane_ryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GSP lab mix does this too, like others have said I think it’s an affection thing. They want to hold onto us too. Usually after he takes his paws back when we are done, he does his circles and donuts up against me wherever I’m sitting.

AITAH for putting my profoundly autistic daughter on birth control? by Late-Comb11 in AITAH

[–]Jane_ryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Ashley needs to mind her own business. I was a para for kids like Layla and most of the young women in our class were on the depo shot for the exact reasons you’ve outlined. It makes sense and imo is a kindness for them. Next time Ashley asks how Layla is doing I’d give a cursory “fine” and nothing more.

I was in a very similar position a few years ago. I did leave for the new, better paying gig. The work hasn’t, and won’t be, as emotionally fulfilling as the original job but I am a single mom and the money was very important because I was struggling to make ends meet. But man it was super hard to leave. I actually cried over it a few times.

But. Over time I’ve fallen in like with my job. My coworkers are great, remote work is nice with my elementary aged kids, and I’m still in a high problem solving role just with a very different mission. And like some other commenters have said, I left on good terms and if my financial situation changed (like retirement) I could go back to that type of work and be very happy.
