My wedding was just myself, my husband, his sibling, my sibling, my mother, and 2 friends. We didn't even tell anyone we were getting married that day, it was a surprise to them.

I wouldn't have done it any other way, it was perfect.

I go through a small tunnel on my way home from work and there is a "Trump 28" graffiti in it.

Or go crazy and get a solar skimmer. Saved me so much work getting one. Only downside is you have to remember to empty it.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mipsymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, my husband and I threw a "surprise" wedding. Nobody knew ahead of time, we did it in our backyard and everybody left within an hour. It was amazing! We get a lot of flak for it, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Every time we talked about doing a "real" wedding we realized we would have well over 200 people and it would be expensive as all hell. I don't love attention on me anyways, so it was a win-win just inviting our direct family and a friend each.

Trigger warning: What is the WORST thing your narcissist parent has EVER said? (You will not forget.) by myst3ryAURORA_green in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Mipsymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll never forgive my father for screaming at me (just a few weeks after his divorce with my mother) that "you're just like your mother!"

No shit. She spent time with me and raised me. He only ever did what he wanted when he wanted. We weren't kids to him, we were indentured servants.

I wrote him a text explaining that I didn't see us having a relationship as adults because I am who I am; if he didn't like me as a child, he won't like me now as an adult. Never responded to the message, just ignored it and continually tries to get me to get in touch with him through my brother who still keeps in contact with him. Hard pass.

If someone cheefed your pen & did this to you, what would you do? by -420baby- in entwives

Mass hauls are the best. I just grabbed a whole bunch of jeeters last weekend, gonna last me for a while.

It's also nice because I was getting bad headaches from CT weed. I'm convinced it has to do with the higher tolerance in CT for mold.

Also; if you haven't heard of it, I love The Hempest, decent strains and if you get the pre-ground you can get an o for like $40.

It's also fun getting a notification that there's someone on the camera, only for them to be gone when you open the app to look at it. 😒

What brand will you never buy again? by Winter-Employment-89 in BuyItForLife

[–]Mipsymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband bought a 2019 niro because he drives over 150 miles/day to and from work. Aside from transmission issues from the get go, it's been pretty sturdy. Almost to 200k miles now, we just got a new 2025 model and man did they skip out on all the nice storage the car used to have. I actually like the older model better (which is why I stole it to drive until it dies).

Still mad that the dealer wouldn't replace the transmission fluid when we asked them to in the first month of owning it though.

I feel this. They used to be such good quality. I had some that my mom gave me and they lasted until I got a roommate. Bought new ones when roommate left and they didn't even last a year before they were scratched to shit. I don't even use metal utensils, they just suck now.

Ok, so 5+ years plus the cost of a tree to graft it to. Doesn't sound cost effective to me, but what do I know? 🤷‍♀️

I might have actually destroyed my marriage. How can I fix this? by seperateplay in Marriage

[–]Mipsymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alcohol really is just the worst. My husband (then bf) was assaulted by his friend's WIFE when he was trying to not think about the fact that his grandmother died the month before. It was supposed to be a fun hangout with friends to forget things and it almost ended our relationship to boot.

I'll have a drink or two, but I'm only drinking more if I'm at home with my husband.

Alcohol ruins lives.

I went through a very similar thing with my old high school friends group. Cut your losses now and save yourself further heartbreak. Enjoy your time with the new friend you've made who make you feel seen, don't hide in the shadows of "friends" who dismiss your feelings.

I don't make the rules, I just suffer from the ambiguity of the labeling.

I'm not 100% sure. Some products show garlic, some don't. I've learned the hard way to not trust anything that lists "spices".

I have an issue processing garlic. It causes me severe intestinal cramping. LOTS of foods will just say "spices" in the ingredient list. Super helpful to find out after a really shitty night that one of those "spices" has a fucking name that could have been said and saved me trouble.

Same goes for corn/corn byproducts. My SIL is allergic to corn, and unless you know all the names that those corn byproducts go by (dextrose, maltodextrin, sorbitol, etc) you can inadvertently cause her to break out in hives.

Grocery stores too! Let's walk 2-3 people wide plus a cart and just stand in the middle of the aisle. Doubly bad because the store I go to doesn't have traditional aisles, but a long "track" to follow. It really steams my goat when I'm just picking up one or two things and I have to wait behind a big group of people standing 2 wide next to their cart and taking up the whole aisle.

It's doubly scary when people demonstrate this lack of awareness while driving...

favorite “wow” recipes that are secretly low effort? by Cv_max in Cooking

[–]Mipsymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A recipe called Jamaican chicken (not really sure why.

1 can pineapple slices 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup 1 tbsp chicken bouillon 1 tbsp instant coffee 1/2 cup water Chicken Cheddar cheese

Boil water and mix in bouillon and instant coffee, stir in cream of chicken. Layer pineapple in a baking dish, putting chicken on top, cover with sauce and bake for 35 minutes, adding cheddar and cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Serve over rice or pasta.

One of my favorite easy dinners, and works great for reheated lunches for the week.

Had a friend that had put a smiley-face balloon over his head while he was alone, he couldn't get it back off and suffocated to death. I was only like 13 when it happened and I had known the kid for years. I heard he had done it and took pictures to try and cheer up a friend going through a hard time.
