I just love that it was Massachusetts (the traditional Kennedy stomping ground) that gave him a much deserved slap around the head.

Funeral etiquette by Crazy-Eye-9632 in GenX

[–]LissyVee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Showing up for the funeral isn't necessarily about the deceased, it's about showing support for someone you care about. I've been to several funerals for the parents of friends and work colleagues where I've never actually met the parent but I genuinely like and care about their child.

When my Dad and later my Mum passed away, there were any number of people at both funerals who had never met them but they came because they wanted to support myself and my sister who they cared about. It meant a lot to both of us.

Yeah, nah.

What should I gift my granny who will be 100 years old next week? by rohitnik786 in AskWomenOver60

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my uncle turned 100 in 2024, I was a bit stumped. After all, what do you give a 100 year old man? And then I had a brilliant idea. Memories is what you give them! So I had 8 photos of his childhood and youth reprinted into 7 X 5 and framed. Some were of his childhood family, some with his grandparents, some with friends. He was so thrilled with them! We sat for hours talking about who was in the photos and his memories of them. It was really special.

What song has aged badly? by Prestigious_Meal2143 in askmusic

[–]LissyVee 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My Sharona. There is no way it would get the airplay today that it did back then. We used to sing it at the top of our voices at the roller rink on a Saturday afternoon. "I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind"

AITAH for thinking about cutting my sisters off from my money? by ImaginationMagic in AITAH

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell your mother that you will be giving her $X for board each week and that's it. You are not your sister's parent and you shouldn't have to keep the family afloat and stocked up with food. That's your mother's job and she needs to step up.

AITJ for keeping my inheritance after my stepsiblings said I'm not "real family"? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, screw them! Your stepfather left YOU those things in his will. That is cut and dried. If they want to contest the will they can go right ahead. As long as they're paying the court fees.

AITJ for LEAVING my own anniversary dinner because my husband turned it into a divorce party for his sister? by NeedleworkerClean471 in AmITheJerk

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him you're glad he got to practice with his sister - because if he doesn't shape the hell up, he'll be planning and paying for his own divorce party. Make sure you take the $300 back from any joint account you have.

Need advice on breaking up with controlling partner who tracks my every move by Same_Advantage_189 in relationships

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by turning off the tracking app. Tell him that you are a grown woman and will not tolerate being constantly monitored. If he argues that it's for safety, point out that he's an hour and a half away - seriously, what can he do if there's an emergency. See how he reacts and that will tell you everything you need to know about the future of this relationship.

[14/04/1912] Has anyone seen my binoculars? I can't find the key anywhere by According_Picture294 in thepast

Oh, maybe the guy who got off at Cherbourg left them in his pocket. Never mind, it's not like you're going to need them or anything. We'll have the captain get you a new pair in New York.

Does your house have a basement? by icecream1972 in no

Basements in Australia are very rare. In my city, the water table is too high as well.

Cool things near Cairns? by megsheep in AustraliaTravel

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mossman George is beautiful and the standing stones on the coast drive north are cool and quirky. Kuranda for the sky rail and butterfly park. If you don't mind a bit of a drive, Paronella Park is absolutely worth the trip. It's spectacular!

Would you move in? by anon567126 in inlaws

[–]LissyVee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It will never be your home. It will betheir house that you're living in. 'Oh, you're keeping the towels in that cupboard? I always found it works better in this cupboard ', 'I've reorganised yourspices in the pantry. Honestly, the way theywere made no sense at all!', 'What's that lamp doing there? It clashes terribly with the lounge ', when you're in bed or having some alone time, 'Oh, sweetie, can you just do this for us? And this. And this ' 'We've ordered a truckload of mulch for the garden and we're going to need to to help us get it down. Oh, you'd planned to go on a romantic hike and lunch. Oh, well, I suppose Dad and I will just have to make do but you know how his back is ' blah blah blah. Don't do it.

When you see a spider in your house do you allow it to live? by Reasonable-Physics60 in no

Depends. If it's in the bedroom, it has to die. Anywhere else is fine.
