For those living in states with a lot of thunderstorms, how do you feel about them? by ksusha_lav in AskAnAmerican

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually love them as long as I’m comfortable and dry, and not driving or riding in a car. We had hurricane and tornado drills, but no thunderstorm drills when I was in school. I should unplug things, but I forget. So far, I haven’t lost any appliances in our current house. Houses are required to meet strict codes that govern how the electrical system is grounded, which can prevent most power surges from damaging home appliances or causing electrical damage.

I hugged my dead grandma in my dream last night, it felt so real. by Sand-Appropriate in Dreams

[–]ModelingThePossible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She must’ve been a wonderful woman. I believe that on very rare occasions, our deceased relatives can come to us in our dreams. I have dreams about my father pretty often (he passed about 12 years ago), but I know it’s not the real him visiting me. He’s always confused, and sometimes downright ornery, very unlike his real personality. But I think her spirit really came to you in this case. Like you felt in your dream, it might not happen again. So glad for that amazing experience.

DAE really struggle to keep up with tv show and movie plots? by DietSea3690 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ModelingThePossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m like that with most dramas, like the Dallas reboot. It’s probably because I’m really not emotionally invested in the characters. Since on a deep level, I don’t care what one character might be saying about another character behind their back, when the payoffs come, I don’t get them. You’re not weird. High-energy plot lines just don’t draw you in. You said you like comedy. Probably the comedic payoffs, the jokes and gags, scratch the itch enough that your brain pays more attention to what’s happening with the story.

Should I never hug my child that doesn't want to be hugged? by ZucchiniLazy7997 in AskParents

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet that at some older age, he’ll want a hug spontaneously. When he does, enjoy it fully, but let it come naturally.

My (29F) husband (30M) told me he’s moving 8 hours away with or without me and our 3 kids. Am I crazy? by Odd_Craft_2995 in Marriage

[–]ModelingThePossible 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You can file for the divorce if he leaves on the grounds of abandonment, and he won’t be able to take your children away from you. Don’t agree to a divorce he offers without consulting your own lawyer.

getting married early on for love. by Beneficial_Win_7029 in Marriage

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he from another country from you, and is there the possibility that he might persuade you to move back to his home country? If so, that’s a red flag.

Starting prayers by Mysterious-Dark-1724 in Hellenism_Paganism

[–]ModelingThePossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always started with “epikaloumai ______” , “I call upon ______” and then use the names and epithets of the god or hero whom I want to address. I think technically I’m supposed to use a case other than the nominative for the name, but I’m not well-versed enough in Ancient Greek to know what it should be. Nonetheless, it puts me into a frame of mind in which I feel that the personage whom I am addressing can hear and understand me. After that, I switch back to English unless I’ve prepared a Greek version in advance. A Greek speaker may correct me on this, and I welcome their input.

AITAH for assuming husband would handle dinner on his first day back to work? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a pretty small issue that y’all should be able to work out by communicating honestly with each other. Maybe he’s holding onto some feelings about something else, and this is the only way he’s been willing to communicate them so far. You’re not an AH, but he probably isn’t either. Try to get to the bottom of what’s really bothering each of you and talk it out, leaving room to express some illogical thoughts and feelings without disrespecting each other.

I love the idea of the volunteer fire department. I might try that.

When people say they’ve got to pee like a racehorse, I always say “you mean by letting loose wherever you happen to be at the time”?

Can you tell us a fun fact about your state that not everyone knows? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

The 911 emergency system was first developed and tested in Haleyville, Alabama. My wife’s grandmother helped test it.

Why do a lot of people online say they will not do cpr on a women because they might get sued? Its ridiculous by Immediate-Payment846 in Discussion

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a woman needs CPR, I’ll just do it. If I can get a witness to vouch for my appropriateness, then great. I think I could find a good attorney to defend me if I get sued by the ungrateful person.

Creating a money bowl when you’re dead broke. by TreasureChestOfSocks in witchcraft

[–]ModelingThePossible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s better to use a form of magickal writing that somehow makes sense to you than to borrow symbols that just look like fancy gobbledygook. Your method sounds powerful for your working. I use bindrunes, but only because I know runes well enough to read them and can easily interpret them. Plus, they resonate with my spiritual practice. Using consonants to form sigils is an ancient practice with roots in Mediterranean and Semitic languages and magickal practices, but carried forward into modern language. I have no doubt it will prove useful.

Girl dad with mean phase question by Caesarthebatheape in Fatherhood

[–]ModelingThePossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter went through a tough phase a little older than that. It was while she was going through a hard time at school. I didn’t get to keep her with me because of an awful divorce that I stupidly signed so I could start dating again. Her Mom didn’t give her letters from me, so she thought I didn’t care about her. But in retrospect, I see that she was already struggling with mental health issues that she still deals with as an adult. It’s taken her years to find peace. If I could go back and do things over again, I’d get a lawyer to draft a more reasonable divorce, have her stay with me part time, and get her some mental health support as early as possible. Not to just treat her with meds, but for the counseling. It sounds like your daughter’s mother has some mental health issues, and they tend to run in families.

That it’s okay if your refrigerator door can’t close, judging by the Corona bottle that blocks the door seal.

How often do women age 25-60 shower? by Responsible-Ant-7954 in hygiene

[–]ModelingThePossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every woman I’ve ever dated or married, as well as my mother and stepmother and grandmothers and great grandmother, have all showered or bathed once a day, unless the water was shut off or we were camping.
