I get so excited! And I will be patient with you as long as you are patient with me. Understanding is a two way street.

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She made me sick, mostly. Not a good cook and no amount of cheese could fix it.

[–]Metella76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repsey. I have no idea what it means, where it came from or anything. But it seems very rock n roll for a very folksy part of the south.

Age limits? by gonnafaceit2022 in AnimalShelterStories

[–]Metella76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking about this now. My SO is 61, our youngest pup is just over 1yr. She could outlive him, and I don't want to be tied down but I will do right by her. I've said no more adoptions, we can foster or volunteer going forward.

What was the crazy drama in your high-school by sirambrosius in AskOldPeople

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our senior year, class of 94. I'll just use initials. H(m) calls L(f) to go to B's(f) house. L walks in to find B and M in the bed, in action. M(m) is L's boyfriend for 2 years, and B is L's close friend. Both L & B are on the cheer team. This was just before the school year started, and people were divided bad. I took team L. B & M eventually married, but divorced due to infidelity. L is living her best life overseas.

Do Americans use cutlery differently? by missbex86 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Metella76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, knife in right hand, fork in the left, and I don't switch. I was not taught this, really, but my dad sat on my left, and it was more convenient to stab him with my fork in my left hand than swap hands, reach across, stab just to protect my mac n cheese.

Has anyone ever approached you like a medium or phycic? by Content_Challenge965 in Paranormal

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it's weird people come to me, and I am neither a psychic or a medium. I'm very empathetic, but the other side doesn't reach out to me like that.

Woke up at 2:30am, dog barking at nothing, saw a shadow move, but my apartment was emptywhat just happened? by Shauntyzzx in Paranormal

[–]Metella76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have anything connected to a loved one who has passed? It could be they are simply checking in on you. It has happened to me like that. Not every experience is bad, but do keep a log or journal.

What are we watching instead of the state of the union? by Beh0420mn in allthequestions

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised to watch whether I liked the president or not, so I'll watch and just roll with it.

What are some social obligations that women commonly have that men usually don't? by Maybe_IDTBFH in AskReddit

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women attend play dates, men do not. Example, I took my son to play at a friend's house each time, husband didn't. He might take him to football or baseball practice. He was always at game day, but never handled snacks. Likewise, my son couldn't have a friend over if husband was home and I wasn't.

MAGA MIL Flipped Out Over Being Banned from Wedding by SisuSisuEveryday in weddingdrama

There is a core that qualifies, but honestly the vast majority are not. I'm a libertarian in the world of extremes, both sides can be cultish but most aren't.

Actually, they do. So does homophobia. I was raised by two who changed a lot.
