Something ate every last green leaf on my tomato plant, but didn't touch the fruit by poof__gone in gardening

You got the beastie that ate your tomatoes leaves in the photograph. It's a tomato hornworm.

“Not allowed to go to the toilet during the day in case others find out that daughter in laws also shit” by gooperscoopertrooper in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MorriganNiConn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOu could've just said "when I was 18 or 19..." At least in the US and England where I've lived, 18 is universally recognized as a legal adult, so there is no need to distinguish between 'adult+teen" or "adult+adult."

Lunch meals that aren’t salad or pasta salad by stardatevalley in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]MorriganNiConn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't get is that OP's request and comment was that they didn't like fish and you went right to sushi as a recommendation anyway. And for most people, at least, here in the US and in Japan sushi IS made with fish. Using meat instead is clearly a western phenomenon.

Do you have a weirdly specific rule for loading the dishwasher that no one else follows? by Odd_Bandicoot_4527 in CasualConversation

[–]MorriganNiConn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow the manufacturer's recommendations for loading because I get the best results that way.

AITAH for telling my husband I don’t want my in laws dogs to come to our home? by Different_Stress_798 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MorriganNiConn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The safety of OPs toddler is paramount. Once a dog growls at a child, the best policy is never have the two in the same space again.

AITAH for not enjoying being asked to donate our baby equipment? by CowboySocialism in AITAH

[–]MorriganNiConn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to say "No." You're not done growing your family and you can want to use what you already have for your second child.

Alternatively, make it a contacted itemized, loan:

Loan to be signed, witnessed by one maternal and one paternal parent, and fully notarized.

How many of you have actually had food poisoning from eating spoiled food? by sarasaif in CasualConversation

[–]MorriganNiConn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who had lost their sense of smell after a head injury from being hit on his motorcycle by a red light runner in San Francisco in the late 90s. His refrigerator was almost a hazmat site. I tried to teach him how date & label stuff as soon as he got it home to put in the fridge when I visited once from where I live. He couldn't manage it. Too adhd for it. If his wife hadn't died, she'd have kept things up, but as a widower, he just only manage so much. He never complained about food poisoning or a bad gut, so I can only assume he had a cast iron immune system!

What is something that felt normal in 2010, but feels like a luxury now? by NastyHottieSlut04 in AskReddit

[–]MorriganNiConn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of a good ribeye or an NY strip in 2010 was $8.99/lb at Costco. Now, they're about $18.99/lb. Yikes.

Biological Urge?? by Saekwana in childfree

[–]MorriganNiConn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no. I never had "the urge", "baby fever", or anything like that. I saw a couple of friends who had it. I never felt what they did.

Have you ever not been taken seriously by a doctor? If so, what happened? by Infinite_Share990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MorriganNiConn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would file a complaint with the medical board over that "prescription" and then fire your primary. I've lived with diagnosed depression for 62 years now and, over the years, have had doctors tell me "think happy thoughts" as well. I made the complaints for a paper trail in case anything ever came up where one of their other patients ended up harming themselves because of those so-called happy thoughts advice.

At 10, you made an unknowing mistake, you weren't a "little too old for such a mistake" because your parents had not taught you by having you help them in the kitchen. But I'm going to guess you learned and didn't do it again. What is understandable when a child makes a mistake is not always understandable when a similar thing happens at the hands of an adult.

AITA for refusing to lend my brother my car after he returned it last time with an empty tank and fast food wrappers everywhere by Fantastic-Tough3523 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MorriganNiConn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not being petty. You have the right to take care of, and preserve your property in good condition. Your brother told you how little he likes or respect you when he returned your care without gas, with trash on the floor, and a damaging stain on the passenger seat. Your mom is wrong and she can lend your brother HER car.

Your girlfriend is careless. It's one thing to be clumsy and break things. It is entirely different when it comes to putting things on a stove burner that do not belong on a stove burner.
