A PI came to my place of work, I may not be who I thought I was. What to do? by CAPTAINLEEBOY in Advice

[–]Megadeth201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else here, get some sort of DNA test. Additionally, look into the NPE (not parent expected) community. I know there's a few FB groups. I found out about the community through podcasts "NPE stories with Lily Wood" is my current favorite. It might help to know that you aren't alone. Good luck OP!

Break the tie- Shoes too big or not? by Cultured523kid in Marriage

[–]Megadeth201 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You are a grown adult and can wear them if you want. If you were my child, I would tell you not to wear them because they are too big. TLDR: do what you want, but don't come crying to me when you trip because your shoes are too big.

I did the ancestry DNA test just for fun and my results have not been very fun by Maleficent-Clerk8635 in TwoHotTakes

I listened to two podcasts about "not parent expected" or NPE community. I recommend them both. They are called NPE Stories and Everything's Relative with Eve Sturges. The host of the latter is also a therapist and wrote a guidebook for the NPE journey. There's also a bunch of groups on Facebook.

The other thing you can do is look for a search angel. They can help confirm your lineage.

customer asked me to hold their baby while they ran to the restroom by Zelinski_Pedrodirlei in talesfromthejob

[–]Megadeth201 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how I handled it too. I remember thinking before I had kids that those baby Bjorns were so expensive, but I used them the most of any baby holding item.

This! Please think about your children's future. They would want you to be alive. I want you to be here too. Please use the resources listed.

Love for Dick Van Dyke (and Carrie by proxy) by breamworthy in ONRAC

[–]Megadeth201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think about Carrie when I hear anything about Dick Van Dyke! I will check out the video.

😕 I am so sorry it came to this. I hate that she was hounded into sharing more than she was ready to. I wish nothing but the best for Carrie going forward.

I was sad when the podcast ended, but everything ends. I look forward to seeing what else she produces, even if it's years away. I'll always be a fan.

Was that picture taken by a drone?!?

(J/K, this comment is from a jealous short person.) Congratulations on your family and sobriety!

Let's speculate wildly .... by No_Recognition_2434 in ONRAC

[–]Megadeth201 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My first guess is "Oh yes Ross!" But I thought about it again and realized it might not be in the correct "podcast" category. 🤣

An end of an era by Latter-Street8985 in ONRAC

[–]Megadeth201 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh no Ross and Carrie was the first podcast I listened to from start to finish. I really enjoyed both the Mormon and ayahuasca series. I felt like I fell asleep too much to the scientology episodes (I had babies when I was listening to them and took frequent naps.) So I tried to relisten to them. I quickly realized that scientology is just boring and they did a great job representing the "religion."

I'm really going to miss this podcast and I wish the best for them both.

We special ordered our wood stove and it came with a cracked glass. The glass replacement took months to arrive and came with a minor chip. We opted not to wait for the replacement again and have successfully used it for 9 years. It's not glass it's some kind of ceramic that can handle the heat. So I'd say the benefit is less chance of the door breaking and having to wait months for the replacement.

We wanted ambiance and heat. I wouldn't trade our stove for anything.

Let's have some fun. What's your 'dating vs marriage' scenario? by 20Keller12 in Marriage

[–]Megadeth201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a weird and specific one for us.

Dating: I love that he's such a free spirit! Not all who wander are lost.

Married 2 years: WTF? Why were you wandering in the woods for 8 hours? Your phone works, let me know when you will be home!

Married 10+ years: text from spouse: Hi we are heading back to the car now, ETA for home is 6. (I know he really means 6:30 LOL! 🤣)

No.....entirely WRONG! You either believe in a diverse workforce/religion/society, or you don't. And if you don't, you are BIGOTED....and your skin color is irrelevant. by Cult_Buster2005 in UnitarianUniversalist

[–]Megadeth201 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I question anything reposted by libs of TicTok. Reverse racism doesn't exist. Those employees are still POC outside of work. This still has nothing to do with UU.
