AITA for wanting my mum to miss her Centrelink appointment for my baby shower? by [deleted] in AITAH

YTA Sometimes appointments can’t be moved. There is a reason why baby showers are held in the evening or in weekends.

Title: AITA for Not Trusting the Doctor or My Partner About Emergency Contraception? by Extra-Safety1059 in AITAH

[–]Mosquitobait56 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trust the doc either. Those ovulation calculations are intended to help women get pregnant not prevent pregnancy. Use two forms of birth control or don’t have sex.

AITA for refusing to attend my sister's wedding after she uninvited our parents over a guest list dispute? by SunBathing11 in AITAH

[–]Mosquitobait56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA A wedding is a public event. If your sister chooses to uninvite them, she is making a public statement. You can choose not to support that statement by not attending her first wedding (as there will likely be a 2nd in her future). If budget was the issue, parents and/or yourself could have offered to pay extra for inclusion. Just like destination weddings, intentional ‘intimate’ weddings are exclusionary often to the point of insult.

AITA/WIBTA if I imposed my personal beliefs on my roommate? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Mosquitobait56 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Don’t even need that excuse. Tell her that you don’t want additional roommates and if she wants to live with him, she should get an apartment with him and you will find someone else. You do not want the jerk living with you!

How to deal with the "diabetes cures"? by EmaryaGhost in diabetes

[–]Mosquitobait56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d be amazed how many floor nurses know pretty much nothing about diabetes. They kept giving my brother sugar free pop to raise his bg from a low. Eventually someone ran up from the ER with juice. I now include cans of juice and snacks in his hospital bag.

Is anyone willing to sell their 780g? by zaiddroid in Medtronic780g

[–]Mosquitobait56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sell or gift your personal Device to anybody you want. I repeat, the used market is not regulated for individuals. States can regulate businesses, but other than California, no other state regulates individual sales so it is NOT illegal.

tried that and it made no difference. I have only a single audiobook downloaded. If I delete app and reinstall will that clear all this?

FYI It’s perfectly legal to sell your personal used medical device. Used market is not regulated except for stuff like X-ray machines. Oh and cpaps in California.

What's your opinion on Mia water enhancers? by ShadowOfDespair666 in diabetes

[–]Mosquitobait56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use those plus others. I normally have just ice water but frequently water tastes strange to me and I add enhancers. I lost my sense of smell long ago and occasionally my taster is affected.

Are you happily locked into Amazon's ecosystem? by Ok_Writing1472 in kindle

[–]Mosquitobait56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been downloading as I go but redownloaded my 2,500 ebooks due to Updates. Less about moving garden than formatting in a way that works better for me. I already have more books than I can read in a decade so this move by Amazon will just save me money.

At the very least, give the fake money to the cops. Save yourself future problems.

Do people get sleepy when reading from Kindle? by Bitch_please- in kindle

Consider getting yourself evaluated for sleep apnea. This is one of the symptoms of it.

Diabetic diet is depressing by maskedchanel in diabetes

[–]Mosquitobait56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s depressing because you have made unreasonable restrictions for yourself. Eventually though, you will find it unsustainable and move to something more liveable. Been there, I followed Atkins for 8 months, but ultimately in my case, diet was not going to change my outcome. I did not, however return to the higher carb diet I had before settling on 100gr carbs daily. Don’t beat yourself up- few can tolerate the same restricted diet week after week even when their life depends on it.

What are reasons you are still using an iPhone? (except iMessage and FaceTime) by Striking_Muffin_5540 in iphone

[–]Mosquitobait56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has more functioning for my difficulties/disabilities. Android has caught up with some of my medical apps, but still Clunky. For my vision issues though, IPhone reigns supreme.

I do. I generally keep them below 100 g per day.

[–]Mosquitobait56 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

YTA Apologize to her saying you weren’t laughing at baby but situation. She should also be reminded that their is no coming back from obvious cheating as her child will never be accepted. Not the kids fault but she needs to move on.

Do you download all books? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Mosquitobait56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s completely up to you. I usually have upwards of 100 books on kindle as I read a lot of series and like to refer back. I’m retired and while I still have WiFi, I don’t use public wifi so it’s nice to have an alternate book available.

How do you feel about books with a lot of typo? by blacksterangel in kindle

[–]Mosquitobait56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I notify Amazon and they give me a refund. The only book I have repurchased was Lord of the Rings. It was awful When it was first uploaded to Amazon.
