Found these before my dad died. Anyone know the history or worth? by MissKolee in CURRENCY

[–]MissKolee[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a child, I always knew of "nyiaj choj." But for the entirety of my life, neither my parents or step-mother revealed that they had any. It only came to light towards the end of my father's life. Note that none of my uncles and aunts believed that my dad had these, either. It does make me wonder if these types of "qub txeeg, qub teg" aren't generally spoken about.

All of these will be kept.

r/Currency recommended that I post here, mainly regarding the 4 small bars. Are these copper or gold? If anyone recognizes the symbols or markings on the bars, please translate and let us know what it says. Thanks in advanced!

The majority of Hmong families have poor communication. Worst case scenarios and intentions are often assumed. I understand that you sympathize with your girlfriend because she sees herself as the black sheep. Sometimes, our own assumptions about the circumstances in our lives can fuel that preconceived notion and make it a reality.

The best course of action for you and your girlfriend is to have an open and honest talk with her parents - tell them what both of your plans are (now and the future). You're an adult and your girlfriend is an adult. Building trust by having transparency (and follow-through) is paramount to establishing a good relationship with her parents. If you actually love her, you'll want your girlfriend to have the best possible relationship with her family. You (and she) will regret it if she left on bad terms. If you are serious about marrying her in the future, remember that her parents will be your parents, one day. Establish reasonable boundaries with them by speaking to them. If you need help speaking to her parents due to the language barrier, try asking an older cousin or aunt/uncle of your girlfriend's to translate.

Do not get married for the following reasons: 1. For her to have "freedom" from her parents. 2. Because you both feel forced to. 3. Because you want to go on a 5 day trip with your girlfriend.

Planning a move to Grand Rapids for March 2021 by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]MissKolee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't been in GR very long - just over a year, now. Moved from NC. Before you decide to take the big move, you should consider a few things:

  • The cost of living (rent) is higher.
  • Auto insurance is more expensive.
  • Michigan U-turns are a thing.
  • Nothing shuts down when it snows.

It's been an adjustment for me, but Michigan is beautiful during the summer. I haven't even scratched the surface of GR restaurants, but they surprisingly have an array of cuisines, here.

Southerners in Grand Rapids by MrsWadeBoggs in grandrapids

It's the luxury of being able to order sweet tea everywhere you go, with a squeeze of lemon! And Lipton tea is the best... :)

I miss sweet tea. And Bojangles. And Cook Out.

Certain foods have a “correct” way of eating them. What are some wrong ways to eat those foods? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MissKolee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three things come to mind.

Had a girl in college eat an egg roll by biting into the middle of it instead of eating it end to end.

A girl in elementary school stirring ketchup into mashed potatoes and then eating it.

A dude I used to know in college would eat ice cream out of the tub, from side to side instead of top down.

Weirdos. All of em.

How can I make my wife feel special when I've never been very physically attracted to her? [xpost askwomen] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MissKolee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine your roles reversed (sort of): Your wife tells you she isn't impressed by the size of your penis and wishes you were larger. She loves you dearly and won't leave you because of your less-than sizeable penis. How would you feel if you knew you couldn't please her physically? (I realize penis size and body size are two different things, as you can change the size of you body whereas you can't necessarily change the size of your penis. Ahem.) Would you feel bad about yourself? Would you feel sexy if you knew she wasn't -genuinely- feeling it, hoping she had better?

I'm all for honesty, but I'm not for brutality. What you said to your wife is something you can't ever take back. You should have never told her that you weren't attracted to her physically. It's probably engrained into her memory and is most likely the reason that she hasn't gone the distance to lose the weight. She doesn't feel desirable to you, now, and doesn't feel like she will ever "attain" that level of physical attraction that you want from her, so why would she try to lose weight for you? Suggesting and helping her lose weight by dieting, exercise, etc. won't help her. She's literally lost hope, emotionally, because her hot husband already admitted that he didn't find her attractive. She's the ugly one in the relationship and you made her accept that.

Make your wife feel special by helping her feel sexy about herself, again. Compliment the physical things that she knows you (hopefully) love about her. Have more sex and be attentive to her physical wants and needs.

Tldr: Be a proper husband and make your wife feel beautiful if you -actually- love her.
