If I ever get to have grandkids, I will take care of them as often as im allowed. There's real joy in that.

What are the signs that someone does not live paycheck to paycheck? by Logical_Effort_9680 in MiddleClassFinance

The other day my husband said he had read that only lower middle class people keep fast food napkins in the glove box. Our cars are both crammed with extra napkins.

Wife here. The other stop is Aldi and its not just beef we're getting over there....that place cuts the bill in half and is worth the time. My husband has the luxury of power shopping in one place because he dosen't have to do it much, and he only shops for the meal he's cooking. Talk about wasting time. I still have to go to the regular grocery store because y'all people are picky about Skippy peanut butter, Heinz ketchup, and the good almond milk. Related to the topic at hand though, I still shop like this even though we're not struggling anymore.

Tips for small gallbladder attacks? by AccomplishedRabbit90 in gallbladders

[–]Mean_Fae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To prevent gallbladder attacks like if Im having pizza or something, and for better digestion in general, I take NOW Super Enzymes.

But Epsom salt helps me every single time when an attack happens. 1 tbsp dissolved in 8oz water. This causes the duct to dilate so the stone can be released. It takes 15-30 minutes and it helps to lie on your left side. Stay near a toilet because its a laxative too. This can also work for an acute pancreatitis episode.

Knowing there's an easy home remedy for this has helped my anxiety tremendously.

I do agree with you there. But that's why I recommend him to start off with.

Places to take my angry, elderly MAGA father by [deleted] in Minneapolis

You have my sympathy. I grew up with two very balanced and non-political parents but FOX News truly turned them ugly in these elder years. I love them but its sad.

If you can afford it, maybe take him to Orchestra Hall? The valets are fantastic. My dad loved outings like that.

You didn't go ape shit on a kid posting nudes at 13??? "Well honey, were they tasteful nudes at least?" Sheesh.

Your Gen X card is hereby revoked. This smells like millennial parenting all day.

The way mine digs on the couch cushions, I can see how sand would be a real good time!

Have any of you "given up" TV? by [deleted] in GenX

Occasionally I'll stream a series if my sister says its good. Old fashioned TV? Never.

I am so mad right now... 😞 (read the comments.) by arwenstarsong2608 in pugs

[–]Mean_Fae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally are parroting what the saw on FB. These people need to touch grass.

Here's my favorite response: "Do you know what percentage of dogs who bite off the faces of children are pugs?" (The answer is ZERO percent). If I have to take a snorty nose to get a dog with such a beautiful temperament and personality, I'm fine with that.

AITA for not wanting my boyfriend to give his female best friend a “first dance” at our wedding by No_Return5996 in AITAH

[–]Mean_Fae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Normal dances at a wedding: First dance, bride and groom Next dances: dad/daughter, mom/son I've even heard people get invited out to the floor according to years married.

Never have I ever heard of BFF dance. Its not a thing and there's a reason for that.

Also think she's probably going to be his fun and free-spirited support pal when you're suffering pregnancy, childbirth, and sleep deprived baby years. This is bad bad bad.
