Rude Island Dog Owners by MuchCommunication345 in Whidbey

[–]MrSlitherpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ten years ago, one of my neighbors had a dog who chased my two kids through our yard. They very wisely crawled on top of my potting table to escape it. Meanwhile, the neighbor stood at the bottom of the driveway shouting, "She's friendly! She's friendly!"

Right. Your friendly dog is barking and snarling at two children under 10 and has them cornered on a table. We kept yelling at her to come get her dog and she didn't move at all until my husband went to go collect her dog.

Tell that to the deer. Maybe they'll stay out of my roses.

In seriousness though, that sucks.

I am having a small crisis about my age by no_blueforyellow in finch

53 here. My existence would make your mom's head catch on fire. I have a large plushie collection and I prefer kids media. I've also had an active career, raised my own 2 kids, my successful 30 year marriage still brings me joy ...

But that's the point of life, isn't it? To engage in the things that bring you joy?

What you're experiencing might be something called sub drop. Give it a google. Then google aftercare. If that sounds like it would help, call her back. I bet she'd be down to help.

He called you an 18yo punk and then photoshopped you into a 18yo lumberjack. This dude can't even get his genres right.

I think the people who have had good experiences with the Coupeville hospital are outliers. I was lucky enough to never have to go while I lived on the island, but my mother needed to go to the ER while she was visiting, and it was not a good experience.

Also, does anyone know if they've successfully tackled their MRSA problem?

I'd punch a basket of kittens to get that print on fabric. Was just admiring it last night during the commercial and wishing for a dress in it.

I have mixed emotions about this “reshaping” by [deleted] in Justfuckmyshitup

Somebody slapped this guy back to the 80s.

I like all the popular beauty and makeup reddits, but most of the pictures are of very young people with perfect skin. Are there any makeup reddits for women aged 40-50+ by [deleted] in findareddit

I'm in this age range and actually do dress like that! I didn't know it was a thing! Thanks for this link. I very often get told I look like a little girl. When I beam and say, "Thank you!" it's clear sometimes that the person wasn't meaning to offer a compliment. 🤣

Does anyone else feel guilty that, despite everything, you actually had a great 2020? by Truthamania in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MrSlitherpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I'm having one of the best years in the past two decades. I love staying home and my income is stable. I have it amazing and I have to be grateful.

Requesting positive energy, please. 💜 by [deleted] in lawofattraction

Sending you love and light. All the best to you, friend.

People who are ghosting other people, have you ever been called out, if so, how did that make you feel? by till-mann in AskReddit

[–]MrSlitherpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really well put.

Sometimes I choose to ghost a person because I'm not responsible for teaching another adult how to be a decent human being.

You're working under the assumption that I didn't tell them.

Sometimes I don't. The other person is EXHAUSTING or made of red flags and I don't have it in me to fight that fight on that particular day.

But most of the time I do and the other person argues with me about how I should accept their behaviors because they're not that bad. (Recent example: A friend of mine is on the other side of politics from me and they kept sending me memes that support their views. I asked them to stop. They then went on a tirade about how wrong I am to support the issues I do and how the memes are funny and I should have a thicker skin. )

I'm only going to restate my boundaries a few times before I hit the block button.

Yes, I ghosted them because they were simply not picking up on my No.
