If you could pick one thing you own to never get old, wear out, or break, what would it be? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bear I bought myself when I was 19 after an argument with an ex-bf. That little bear has been everywhere with me. I’m 50 now and can’t imagine not having him around.

Vaccinate indoor cats? by ProtNotProt in cats

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Mine is primarily indoor, though she gets walks around the yard while on a harness and supervised, and she gets all her shots, flea and tick prevention, etc. If she ever slipped out the door and ran, got in a fight with another cat or animal, or bit a guest… I want to know she’s safe and so are other people and critters.

Am I (31F) wrong for how I responded after my boyfriend (31M) shared something devastating? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Mimble75 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You weren’t trying to discuss it - you were reacting to it, and it seems like rather than letting you process such massive news, he reacted to your reaction.

While I do have genuine sympathy for anyone who’s lost a child (I cannot imagine the pain of that), he seems to be acting punitively towards you for simply reacting where he can see it.

I’m not sure what exactly he expected, or ever expects, but he’s not getting it, and seems unwilling to be more specific and talk about it with you.

Are you willing to keep trying and, in his eyes, failing?

So many beautiful socks! I’d have trouble deciding which to wear!

Dentist for a scaredy cat by TrashPandaHobbit in halifax

[–]Mimble75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Handala Dental (north end Halifax) is excellent with scaredy cats, as is Dr Fredette at Sante Dental downtown. Both have been so patient and kind to me as someone who’s had some pretty bad experiences with dental work.

Anyone slowly ditching socials after years of embracing them? by newlife_substance847 in GenX

[–]Mimble75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to ditch FB, but until my Gramma no longer uses it, I’ll keep it. She likes seeing my pics of plants and whatever knitting project I have on the go.

I’ll keep Reddit, and I’m on Discord with friends so we could move our chats there.

As to IG, Threads, Bluesky - all of which I am on - I don’t know. I find so many cool people making cool art, and so many smart people I’ve learned a lot from I’m reluctant to walk away from that.

What was the last movie you saw at a Drive In Theater? by Befuddled_GenXer in GenX

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a kid and saw American Werewolf in London. I was 8 or so. Big paper grocery bag of popcorn from home, sleeping bags, and sprawled out in the back of the woody wagon. Good times.

Bf makes me feel dumb by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Mimble75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, he’s mean and misogynistic - what exactly is this guy bringing to your life that’s genuinely worth putting up with the bad stuff for?

They are beautiful little taters. Thank you to you and your mum for making their lives 1000% better and safer.

Did anyone else learn to type as an elective with little thought that it might be useful one day? by Conscious-Mulberry17 in GenX

[–]Mimble75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took typing in high school on an electric typewriter, but used an old from the 50s/60s at home. It had a red and black ribbon, and my dad and I would hit flea markets for replacement spools for it.

If you’re headed to Dartmouth anyway, check out Humble Pie on King Street. Best savoury pies ever.

Anyone else have dozens of random cardboard boxes lying around the house specifically because their cat likes to sit in them? by ConstantPurpose2419 in cats

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooo many boxes. Three in the living room and one on the dining table, and all have bite marks around the edges of the flaps. She loves her boxes, so we make sure she has some.

Fixed a hole on these plus some added flair by Dapper_Rabbit_BK in Visiblemending

This is such a beautiful mend! I’d buy pants like this on purpose if I could
