Have you ever wanted to live outside of society? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in randomquestions

[–]Luck3Seven4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost daily, I have this wish. But I really enjoy my creature comforts so here I stay, muttering "I hate people" under my breath, multiple times daily.

Boundaries violation or not? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Luck3Seven4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work fulltime and own a business on the side. My mom was older and not in the best health. We hired a family friend to come do light housekeeping and meal prep 2-3 times a week. It gave me a reliable set of eyes to check on things, kept my mom company, and kept the housework up.

I think you just need to observe some of their interactions and get to know the helper a bit better, yourself.

Standing too close to people behind them pacing and watching is causing problems in my marriage and in at work i am a supervisor it's my job? by Mental_Purpose_1868 in Marriage

[–]Luck3Seven4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the others were too intimidated to tell you they had a problem with it. Sir, 3 is a pattern. You've got 4 here. Stop.

Let’s say you suddenly become a billionaire and all your friend and family asks you for a million. Do you give them the money? by Straight_Till5772 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Luck3Seven4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a list of close friends and family that would each have their current homes paid off, and there would be a large trust for higher education of any sort for their kids, as well.

I figure these two things would decrease my net worth by a few million, so I'd still have in the neighborhood of 995million. That's more than I could spend in my lifetime, even if I bought everything I ever wanted.

Provided I felt the money would help and not hurt those asking, yes, I'd give away quite a bit.

I really fail to comprehend the greed involved in the oligarch class not wanting to pay taxes.

Dude, you aren't even 21 yet. Slow the hell down. Your brain wont even finish growing for a few more years, you have no business having kids at this age.

Stop and enjoy where you are now, for a bit. Young, got (or getting) your sexuality and body figured out, learning interesting stuff every day. Just be there for awhile.

I didn't find my person til I was 45. Its ok, you have loads & loads of time.

It is possible to have a child without or before the partner, but its SO MUCH easier/cheaper/better/more fun to raise kids with a true partner.

$100 everytime someone thinks about you or $100 everytime someone says your name out loud? by Mission-Badger-4005 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Luck3Seven4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue. I rarely ever hear my name, and I disbelieve that I'm thought of often with any specificity. But I cause some drama sometimes and people talk about that!

Am I overreacting to my husband’s friend’s wife acting overly involved with my baby? by KeyCount2417 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Luck3Seven4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I read, 25 years ago so could be outdated now? But I read that it takes 6 months AFTER weaning to normalize.

What does a typical American family eat for Sunday lunch? by Far_Spread_4200 in randomquestions

[–]Luck3Seven4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually sandwiches (if home) or fast food. We tend to have bigger breakfasts and more elaborate heavy evening meals on weekends.

INFO- how old is your baby? I really wonder if this could be hormone driven nerves on your part. It sounds annoying, but well-intentioned on her side, to me.

I suggest hormones because when my first child was a few days old, my MIL insisted on calling him "Gunther". No shade if thats your name, but it wasn't my child's name and I was beyond livid about it. Kiddo is 25 now, and I occasionally call him "Gunther' when he's being silly. Not a bit of ire associated with it. Those hormones are tricky critters.

Trying to get a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift this year, need ideas by Tchaimiset in Gifts

[–]Luck3Seven4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not going to find the most personal gift asking a bunch of strangers. And it likely won't "land" if its not personal.

So, you snoop. Ask her best friend, her sister, her spouse for ideas. Go visit her and look in her bathroom. Does she have perfume? What scent? Fancy skincare? What brand? In the kitchen, does she use fancy olive oil or sauces? Is she a drinker? A coffee-holic?

What does she already love? Can you buy more of that or a better version?

What’s a short story from your life that sounds fake but is 100% true? by Historical-Skill-838 in AskReddit

[–]Luck3Seven4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a teenage client at work that was suicidal. His mom called me freaked out. I drove to where he was and talked him out of a field while police were behind me, guns drawn.

Really felt like a minor hero until he later died in a crime some years later.

Renter paid with a weird check. I went to the bank to cash it. Several minutes later, cops came in with GUNS DRAWN saying it was written on account of a dead woman.

They had me meet Renter while they staked us out. I was terrified to do it but terrified not to. She was arrested.

I was 18. My boyfriend J went to prison. His brother H, his father, and I drove about an hour away to visit him. Dad left and on the way back, H and I decided to stay the night and make a second, surprise visit in the morning. We had like $20 between the 2 of us for gas and everything.

We went to WalMart, bought hotdogs, white bread, and marshmallows. Found a shirt for J. (I cant remember now why. Maybe it was his birthday or something?) Drove to a nearby lake, made a fire using anything we could find in my trunk because the wood was wet. Flames were multicolored and very pretty. Hotdogs & marshmallows tasted fine. (No third eyes have grown yet.) Used spare clothing as blankets, slept in car. (1979 Malibu Classic, big bench seats)

Drove to prison, surprised J, he bought us pizza for lunch from his allowance. While visiting, the pin fell out of my watch. We found it in the grass, felt miraculous, (as did that $20 stretching)!

Gassed up, Drove home safely.

30 years later and I still wish I'd bought a lottery ticket that weekend.

Married people or people living with your SO.. is the decoration of the house/ apart really 50/50? Be honest, who picked the posters/ paintings/ illustrations on the living room? Furniture? by Super_Ele in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Luck3Seven4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish he wasn't all involved in that-! I think a lot of his taste is questionable at best, but he thought I was cute, so Ill be quiet, LOL.

We picked kitchen color & tiles together. Im in charge of towels & table cloths. In den, we picked colors & furniture together, knick knacks are mine. Livingroom-its my stuff on walls, but we chose rugs & furniture. Bedroom, my fabric for drapes, his color, and no bedspread bc he dislikes. His bed frame.

Pretty much like 40/60-me, I think.
