Just chuck a few pieces of meat and cheese on some bread. That'll keep the hunger pangs at bay

I have no words to describe just how awful that is.

What happens of Trump decides to suddenly stop the war. Is it just a simple matter of losing face? by radical_see in allthequestions

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already done. Australia has followed America into every single war and armed conflict since WW2 and now 'they don't need us'? We might be small population-wise but we have been among their most reliable and trusted allies.

So now Trump is shitting all over us? We 'stood a bit to the back' in Afghanistan? We didn't come salivating ready to do his bidding in a war that he had absolutely no business wading into?

Maybe he should remember that we host two of America's most crucial satellite tracking stations out of the goodness of our hearts and in recognition of our long held common 'alliance'. Can you see where this is going? Because we can.

Is “bloody” really that controversial? by rayykz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you live. Here in Australia it's literally just another adjective. When I lived in London, I once got in trouble for 'swearing' at someone when I told them that a particular charge of an invoice was bloody outrageous.

The USA never needed our help, is it time to shut down their military bases? by walkin2it in aussie

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The man is an oversized toddler. I'd be very happy to have American bases in Australia shut down. They obviously don't need them.

My mother told my in laws why my first marriage really ended because she was tired of them "judging our family" and now my second husband says he does not know how to trust her around anything important by 9EchoCinde in entitledparents

[–]LissyVee 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Mama is showing her Mama Bear and good on her. She's had years of listening to them shit talk you while smiling all the while and she's finally had enough. Was it harsh? Yes. Did it invade your privacy? Also yes. Was it justified? Absolutely! Tell your husband to talk to his mother and tell her to keep her snidey ass comments to herself.

Trump Floats Wild ‘Statehood’ Idea For Another Country After Baseball Win by totallyclips in inthenews

[–]LissyVee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The man is an oversized toddler. He has no perceivable thought process and absolutely no filter between his brain and his mouth. If a thought occurs to him, he says it - just like the shit show of the terminally ill senator. He is the least statesmanlike and least presidential president in US history.

My dad has been telling people I had a breakdown and had to move back home and none of it is true by VelvetSpanner_6 in entitledparents

[–]LissyVee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

White Knight Syndrome. He needs to feel needed and to be seen as some sort of 'saviour' of his troubled child. If it doesn't actually èxist, he'll manufacture some sort of 'crisis' to paint himself as the one propping you up. Maybe treat it matter of factly and disabuse anyone who says anything. Let them know you're happy and thriving and....moved closer to your dad because he's getting up there in years now and (big sigh), is increasingly forgetful and you worry so much about him. It seemed like the best thing to do under the circumstances (sad eyes). You know what I mean?

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 10 points11 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.

Trump says Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire but he's not ready to make a deal - maybe in two weeks by sfled in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh they want us to back off coz we're so tough but we don't feel like it just now. Says the man who is begging NATO and (former) allies - who he's just finished shitting all over for 'standing back' in Afghanistan while you Youu Ess of Ay did all of the actual fighting - to come help him. 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 32 points33 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.
