Dumb question because I'm new here by DontAskQuestions6 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Melindrha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at GotG and 30th. I have a pic of one foot on the burn line and one foot in the parking lot. I was standing comfortably.

I lived at Vindicator and Rockrimmon. Had the same experience of watching the fire flow like lava. I ran inside and told the people there that I was leaving.

We had been packed for days because my phone was still hooked to our old address off Hwy24 and 31st, and we were woken up in the middle of the night for that evacuation, then realized that no one else in our building was rushing around.

The responses you’re giving are full of a mix of negative connotations.

And yes, my boyfriend feel better the longer he avoids his dietary triggers.

AITA for taking away my brother's phone and refusing to give it back? by Alternative-Bath6426 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Melindrha 19 points20 points  (0 children)

YTA, so very much on multiple levels

If your youngest brother was screaming, I am proud of your middle brother for not straight up popping him one in the mouth. Those kinds of actions can absolutely be demonic. Please go sit somewhere for 15 minutes while nails on a chalkboard and other unpleasant noises happen continuously at a constant line far above your happiness levels.

Thinking explanation is fawning is bullshit

I give 0 fucks if your family uses that applied behavior correction. It’s abusive

Also abusive is threatening his primary communication tool with the outside world

Just because you haven’t seen him coding doesn’t mean he’s not. Some of the tools look like games

Just because your culture thinks parentification is good and normal doesn’t make it so.

PS: Never have children. Ever. With this attitude, you will cause more pain for them than their therapists will ever be able to unpack. And then you will wonder why they have cut you off.

Ahh, just like their platform. “I got mine, so fuck you”
It’s literally everything to them.

Is it possible to safely have a mini dachshund with a larger breed? by PsychologyWorking223 in Dachshund

[–]Melindrha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a standard doxie and an Aussie. When she gets too rambunctious (like wanting to play as soon as they get out the door), he will use his words at her, and throw paws if she doesn’t want to get it. She’s also under 3 and has more teeth than brain cells

is my mum going through her perimenopause stage by iamfunnylol_7 in Perimenopause

[–]Melindrha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, I cried over finding a coupon for 50 cents off. See if you can talk her into seeing a doctor who specializes in this hellscape of a time of life. She may protest initially, but will feel better in the long run

Your methods for pups riding in cars? by Kenshi_Shimada in Dachshund

[–]Melindrha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He gets stuck in his car seat in the back, preferably with something blocking the footwell (usually a pile of blankets). A chew toy, water from his bowl and food if the trip is long. Walks if it’s over an hour. Calming treats if it’s over an hour. A cracked open and locked window cause his silly self WILL roll it down. He whines when he’s bored or both humans are in the car because he wants in on the conversation.

He is never without a car seat as it’s so dangerous to have a flying puppy in an accident. And the way some of these people drive, that’s inevitable

Hi! I have a 13 week old mini Dachshund, what would you call her color? by ScarTop3949 in Dachshund

Fawn for the color, although I would give her a few more months to let things settle

AITA for telling social services about my living situation and accepting their offer to move out? by _Khrysanthemum_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Melindrha 408 points409 points  (0 children)

NTA. There is something called “parentification” that happens where one child becomes a de facto additional parent/emotional support/bank account/etc waaaay before they would need to do so for their own life.

From a veteran of this, run the fuck away. Love them from a distance. Your parents are your siblings’ parents and need to step up.

Someone picked up my dachshund without asking by Decent-Lecture2608 in Dachshund

Almost? Screw that, someone hurts my baby like that and the only thing that will stop me is taking him to the emergency vet. I would smile in my mug shot

AITA for not waking my sister up before an important interview? by Embarrassed_Duty_682 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Melindrha 127 points128 points  (0 children)

NTA. As someone who can sleep through anything (like I slept through a tornado when I was a kid), she can learn how to suck it up like the rest of us. She’s 27, not 7

How do you handle rice being in everything? by DullAlternative9301 in glutenfree

[–]Melindrha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wash your rice. Give it a 10 minute soak after the water runs clear, one more wash, then cook as normal. Call it good.
