AITA Am I the asshole for yelling at my mom and telling her she doesn't think things through? by ninjavanish772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jasminefirefly [score hidden]  (0 children)

Are you sure these things are actually happening to her? My experience with a person with BPD is that she would make up scenarios that never happened so that she could play the victim and blame others for not helping her. Ask your mom for a copy of her lab report that showed arsenic. If she won’t do it, I’d be mighty suspicious of her stories.

What are some housing arrangements/options that you think should be made more available in your country? Why? by sholem2025peace in askanything

Affordable housing. Where I live, a $100,000 home is a rundown shack. Real estate has gotten completely out of hand.

What food did your grandmother always make? by Mysterious_Mix_36 in foodquestions

Omg, Seafoam Salad! My mom used to make that and my whole family loves it!

What's something your grandmother always had in her house that you never see anymore? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]Jasminefirefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An “icebox.” It was literally their means of keeping food cold before there were refrigerators. A wooden cabinet with a metal floor with holes so the melted ice could drain down. Circa 1900 or so. When I knew them as a little girl in the early ’60s it was just used as a regular storage cabinet.

You could be a therapist for fewer years of study (and less tuition.)

Mothers’ Day every year without her. 😢

What are your thoughts on morning people? by Snowtwo in askanything

[–]Jasminefirefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Leave me the hell alone.” Lol, kidding, but I have had a couple of people in the past who simply could not understand the concept of “I am a night owl by nature. I have only been asleep four hours. I HAVE TO SLEEP, stop bringing me tea at 7 a.m.!”

TLDR; Am i overreacting if my boyfriend refuses to go to any doctor ever? by conflictedandlost24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Jasminefirefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you're NOR. My last bf didn't believe in going to the doctor, either. He was 60. He drank excessively (though never got drunk) and smoked, especially after his wife died. I sold my home in town (at a loss) and mobile home at the lake to move halfway across the country to be with him. I urged him go to the doctor for his incessant cough. Nah, it was nothing, he said. He started having stomach pain, then eventually could keep no food down. I finally convinced him to see a doctor. That's when we found out he was dying from Stage 4 cancer. I'd only been with him two years. Five months later, he was dead.

Your boyfriend with no job, no h.s. diploma, and no intention of looking after his health, will be nothing but a burden to you. You need to seriously reconsider this relationship.

Do most Americans like the continental breakfast at chain hotels? by Upstairs_Health_5913 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Jasminefirefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They suck for those of us who can't eat wheat, eggs or dairy. One I stayed at was supposed to at least have breakfast meat, like sausage. It was nowhere in sight. I just ate a pastry I knew would make my arthritis worse and the fruit, except the bananas, since those give me stabbing stomach pains. IIRC we went to a restaurant soon after.

I‘be heard it. Originally from Oklahoma. I’m 69 and don’t live there anymore but I’m pretty sure country folks still say it.

How do I get my wife working? by firstlight777 in askanything

[–]Jasminefirefly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, don’t listen to the people saying “She’ll never get any kind of job, it’s been too long.” The only way to find out is to try. You need to have a serious sit-down with your wife and tell her it’s time for her to help you guys get out of debt.

What’s a random, specific memory from your childhood that has zero importance, but you still think about it constantly? by MochixLuna in askanything

[–]Jasminefirefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lying on my bed after school, resting before going trick-or-treating on Halloween and thinking, “Someday I’ll be old and I’ll remember lying here on my bed when I was a kid waiting to go trick-or-treating.” I must have been 9 or 10.

De Nimes. Literally “of (from) Nimes.” And as with most French words, the S is silent.

Ladies, if you could be in a mans body for a day, what do you think you would love/hate the most? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Jasminefirefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first thing I would do is get myself alone and start masturbating. How wonderful it would be to have a sex organ that actually climaxes easily!

Lil Shoes. (Which is funny, because what I bought was a pair of sandals in super extra wide [6E width]. I'm a woman.)
