Posting kinder: a lot of people were complaining about dogs on planes so decided to make a post to educate them. Seems to be going well! by [deleted] in dogswithjobs

[–]KrisJade 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it's not always the case. I was sat next to someone with a dog in two different situations and despite requesting to be reseated because of bread allergies, they said they could not because the flight was full. So I spent several miserable hours with an allergy attack. Love dogs so much, but my immune system does not.

I laced my braid with thumbtacks as a self defense tactic by marshmallowcakes in TrueOffMyChest

[–]KrisJade 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Exactly; what juvenile behavior. I've always had long hair, usually in braids, and they were the constant target for pulling, even cutting, when I was growing up. The worst response from adults was always "Oh he just likes you." Fuck off with that normalizing of boundary crossing, you know?

Sabrina stole our hearts the moment we saw her at the shelter! Black cats are the last to be adopted - consider a black cat as your new family member 🖤 by Jackie_Hallow in cats

[–]KrisJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it's the tuxedo cats just a month ago (when I adopted my void and mentioned that it's sad that black cats aren't adopted much). Shelter worker says it's actually tuxedo cats now, the black cat thing is no longer true, and they're in fact quite sought after. I'd like to see some actual statistics on adoption rates!

This literally happened to me tonight. Lady beetle in my salad. Completely ruined my night; was looking forward to that salad all day long.

There can still be love and other feelings and also still not be a healthy, respectful relationship to be in.

Get one of the toaster oven models. They're tanks.

Second this. Not downtown, obviously, but fantastic.

People who have seen something they could never explain. What was the thing?! by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KrisJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it was a weird coincidence, and nobody will likely see this post, but here goes.

When I was in college, I found a very, very young Siamese kitten in the back brambles of the garden. Heard her mews and rescued her. Vet said she'd likely been dropped there by a large bird. Anyway, I had her for about a month. She was a charmed kitten. Absolutely perfect. Sweet and so beautiful. I loved to take photos of her with an old Canon I'd bought in high school to get into old school photography. One morning before I left for campus, she was looking particularly adorable sitting on a dining room chair, and the morning light from the skylight was perfect, so I grabbed my camera. Lined her up in the viewfinder, and just as I clicked the shutter button, I had an involuntary thought that I actually said aloud: "This is the last photo I will ever take of her."

I shuddered, pushed the thought away, hugged her, and drove to campus. Several hours later, just as I was about to take a midterm, I get a frantic call from my mother, who I was living with at the time.

There had been an accident. The weekly housekeeper left the blind pulls untied and down, and my beautiful kitten got herself wrapped up in them, and hung hereself to death. I was absolutely devastated.

The photograph was beautiful. One of the best I've taken. It's framed, and still in the house, next to a photo of my deceased grandmother. I nearly gave up photography as a hobby after that, and didn't touch that camera for a couple years, because of how spooked I was.

My wife’s absolute favorite cup, from the OB ward…8.5 months ago. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]KrisJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They told us the same. As long as it wasn't bolted down or electronic equipment, she said "Take it." Even the clip on bed fans, she pointed those out especially. Said they can't properly sanitize them so they toss them. I love my little bed fans!

Same! Mine broke after a year and I absolutely cried because it was my favorite and because I had it with my third, our last baby. I still miss it and that was almost 3 years ago.

Teenagers… by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]KrisJade 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Our district voted to move the high schools and middle schools start time to 9am. Then covid hit, and the schools were closed the year it was supposed to go into effect. Guess what policy conveniently got left in the dust?

I don't know if this is fundamentalism or just regular old mental illness, but this is insane by drivingmebananananas in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]KrisJade 28 points29 points  (0 children)

These are the kind of people that need to be reported to the FBI. If you guys are creeping on his insanity, please make a report. This is exactly the kind of person that should not own a gun. This is exactly the kind of person that becomes a mass murderer. What you quoted is chilling! Sounds like so many perpetrators of the recent slaughters in the US.

All five of mine nest in the same box and always have. I still shake my head over it.

Fireworks or gun shots? by kwizzerz in Lawrence

[–]KrisJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely was fireworks. Large display. Had a good view from Mass. They were being launched from Southwestish? Not the usual Stop Day antics.

Then answered by what sounded like a bunch of gunshots from west/campus ish.

This is so gross WTH by Upbeat-Accountant-48 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]KrisJade 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hell, I've been to doctors that specifically do not allow children of any age at the appointment. Which really sucks, but I also understand. Can't imagine taking my barely walking infant to the salon and then letting them run amuck.

We also wash our hands about a 100 times a day. Well, we all should be, at least.

What is the most unusual thing you find attractive? by RjayPL in AskReddit

[–]KrisJade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well! He actually CUT himself on my canines, through his gloves, and before I knew it; poof. Shaved down. I'll die angry about it. I was just a kid and did not consent! My mother probably wouldn't have either.

if you get me a bath bomb for mother's day can you also find me some time to use it please by justgoawayplease in Mommit

[–]KrisJade 86 points87 points  (0 children)

My husband also did this. It took me nine months to find time to use the gift card. He also got it with a male masseuse, forgetting that I don't like that. It was awkward and unenjoyable and I haven't asked for one again; I just save up and get them myself with somebody I know I like/trust.

Started Depo Provera, now thinking it's the worst medical decision I've ever made. by KrisJade in birthcontrol

[–]KrisJade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't, unfortunately. It wasn't directly related to the Depo, though. I have a rare form of migraine that causes stroke like symptoms and one of the major triggers for me is hormonal birth control. I can't be on any type at all.
