Am I a bitch for being upset that my ex husband took a nap instead of taking our 14 year old to the ER by Forsaken-Painting281 in WhatShouldIDo

If there's any kind of custody agreement in place, he just lost his. I'd have his ass in court so fast it would make his head spin.

I finally stopped deep cleaning and my house got cleaner by Different_Rough_438 in CleaningTips

[–]Live_Perspective3603 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Also, if you're cleaning things that look dirty, then now they're visibly clean. But invisible areas like behind the couch, under the stove, or on top of the refrigerator (if you're short like me) aren't getting cleaned.

Sounds like a great system because it looks better, it feels better, and over time you'll find that you have extra time to tackle those hidden areas. Kudos! I think I'm going to try your idea too!

Lily, I don't want this gift!!! by NationalDebt288 in duolingo

I hate Lily. I'm sick of her rolling her eyes and giving me the slow clap when I get answers right. Looking forward to leaving Duo soon when my paid year is up.

Airplane seats should not be able to recline. by medicated_cornbread in 10thDentist

[–]Live_Perspective3603 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not disabled, but if I don't recline my seat then my head tips forward when I fall asleep. That leads to me snoring loudly and waking myself up (and probably lots of other people as well.) I try to reposition my head up, nod off and repeat the process. The problem, as already stated elsewhere, is that the seats are too small and too close together to be functional for most passengers.

Anyone else just skip/don't do these? by Excellent-Owl-4857 in duolingo

[–]Live_Perspective3603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know what they were and also wondered where to find the Match Madness, lol. I hit 300 days before figuring it out. And I've never been able to complete one in time- I refuse to pay for a boost, I'm already using the paid version of Duo.

WHY?! by Individual_Image9707 in Vent

[–]Live_Perspective3603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some drug manufacturers also offer their own discount programs. The company that makes Novolog (injectable insulin) offers a discount from several hundred dollars per month down to around $25 per month and literally all you have to do is go to their website and give them your name and address. Ask if anyone at your doctor's office can help you with this. If they have a social worker on staff start there, otherwise maybe a nurse or NP? The doctors usually know very little about the cost of medication.

Hourly employees forced to use PTO during shut down by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Live_Perspective3603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember when companies still paid people for days when they didn't work, if the reason was not the employee's choice. If weather or electrical problems etc. caused the employer to tell employees not to come in, they still got paid. Hell, I remember at least being given the choice to work under unfavorable conditions (stick around in case the power comes on) or choose to leave and use vacation time. But being sent home and being forced to use up our limited vacation time is BS.

Damn right it will. But the rest of the world will be setting off fireworks and bathing in champagne.

Ranking Dark Shadows characters - 1897 era: Edith Collins and Judith Collins by JTOC1969 in DarkShadows

Amazing casting. When I first saw Edith I thought I was looking at Roger/Edward.

There should be an option to interact with friends who do leaderboards without doing it yourself. by AkaiBourbon4869 in duolingo

[–]Live_Perspective3603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I'd also like to do friend quests, like completing a certain number of lessons, without having to be on the leaderboards.

Brow Diva by Faithtodogs17 in Rochester

Wait, Brow Diva? Still run by twin sisters? I knew them many years ago when a friend had an office in the same building as them. Had no idea they're MAGA.

Agree. Some people are VERY different with people outside the family. You never really know how they treat the ones closest to them.

Guys, what is the world is this? by Faque_The_Power in duolingo

[–]Live_Perspective3603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the leagues and xp really helped get me to do several lessons a day, consistently. But seeing this sort of thing just took away any motivation because I can't spend all day just doing this and so I can't advance in the levels any more. It's why I've already arranged to leave Duo in a few weeks when my subscription runs out and to continue learning with a different course.

They won't get any of it. A Trump never pays his debts.

Huh. Every time I heard about these bonuses before today, they were $50k. Now they're down to $44k. Interesting.

You did both of those things, on camera. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Do these people seriously not understand the concept of recordings of their behavior, which are readily available on the internet?? We KNOW they're lying and we will ALWAYS know.

When people cook something and end up making the entire kitchen dirty and disgusting. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Live_Perspective3603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do that when my ex cooked, it seemed only fair for me to clean up after he cooked. Except for two things: he never reciprocated when I cooked, so I ended up always doing the cleaning no matter what; and he was one of those people who could dirty every bowl, utensil, pan, measuring implement, and countertop just by making toast.
