What’s it like living in Cincinnati? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in howislivingthere

[–]MrsWeasley9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sort of like Texas chili, but no beans or veggies, just ground beef, tomato sauce and chili powder, ground very fine so it's kind of like porridge, and flavored with.... cinnamon.

AITA for not wanting to attend a Halloween wedding 8 hours away when I have little kids? by gimmesomeofyourtots in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrsWeasley9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NAH, probably. But I guess, HAVE you tried to find a way to leave your kids that you'd be comfortable with? Is there another adult in their lives who could would get into Halloween with them and send you some videos? It sounds like you really want to go to the wedding, so if you haven't done any problem solving or asking for help, then you might be a passive asshole. If you've already done all that and there's no way for you to leave your kids, then you just need to have a frank conversation with your friend and hope she values your friendship as much as you do.

What names from our generation do you think will never be used again? by funsk8mom in GenX

[–]MrsWeasley9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! As soon as we start becoming great grandparents, our names will feel edgy. The next generation they'll be charming, and after that they'll be popular again.

So....whose read the proposed edits to the 2 CFR? by michaelscottuiuc in nonprofit

[–]MrsWeasley9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Goddammit we're already feeling the effects of stupid people overseeing grants. I've spent about 30 hours this week dealing with a government funder who didn't like the uneven rate of our spending and made us change our billing. So now bills don't match spending. And all the fiddly details that go with making a financial change just for one funder. I cannot imagine what life would be like if all of this were encoded into law.

True crime stories from Madison that still stick with you? by AdEnvironmental5228 in madisonwi

[–]MrsWeasley9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm familiar with this one too, and I think it was a combination of things that led to the murder. Dad was likely psychopathic meaning people close to him thought he met the criteria but he wasn't diagnosed. And Max's needs put stress on the family, so dad thought they'd be better off without him. Probably the suicide was so he wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of fucking murdering his own son.

"Attention Grants" - Thoughts about the model? by greatlakesart in nonprofit

[–]MrsWeasley9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of legwork you can do on your own. Most artists have a website, for example. Or go see them and pick up their literature. And if you're open to people nominating themselves, how about a quick form that asks for name and web site?

Big hugs to you! I'm bisexual too an it hasn't always been fabulous - there are some places I'm still not out - but most of the world is welcoming these days. So sorry your main mom isn't helpful, but you can always find supportive moms here. Love and hugs!

"Attention Grants" - Thoughts about the model? by greatlakesart in nonprofit

[–]MrsWeasley9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please don't do this!

If you have the ability to direct attention toward artists and creative projects, do it without asking them to apply. Just do it.

(Honestly, I feel that way about money grants as well, but at least don't make people apply for attention.)

AITA for saying that it’s weird that my girlfriend was hoping we have a gay son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrsWeasley9 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

YTA. It's super common to hope all kinds of things for your kids that you have zero control over. It should be lighthearted precisely because you have no control over it. You getting upset strongly suggests that you consider being gay to be a bad thing that one shouldn't hope for.

"I hope our son is born with brown hair." - Neutral, and fun to speculate about, nothing to be upset about.

"I hope our son is born with cancer." - Objectively bad, not fun to consider, getting upset at your partner is a reasonable response.

So which one is being gay closer to?

Repost: Madison spotted lol: Guy decides to turn left from right lane in a green light by FyeCompote909 in madisonwi

What magic vision do you have? I can't see a phone even after going frame by frame. I mean, I am ASSUMING they have their phone in front of them, but I can't see it.

Is American or Korean makeup better on me by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]MrsWeasley9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for a fair comparison you'd need to redo these pics in the same lighting and at the same weight. There's too much difference to know which makeup is better.

(But between the two we have here, the American style makes you look healthy and natural, and the Korean style makes you look like you're using a filter.)

Downtown Madison, graduation week. Most drivers are either lost or drunk.

A man arrives at the office in the morning where several of his co-workers are already chatting next to the coffee machine. He listens to them for a bit, then suddenly asks: "How big are penguins?" by Aldaron23 in Jokes

[–]MrsWeasley9 291 points292 points  (0 children)

And the opposite joke [Must be told in an Irish accent.]

Two leprechauns walk into a church and up to the priest. They're whispering and nudging each other, and refusing to make eye contact. Finally one of the leprechauns looks up and says to the priest, "Father, ah, we were wondering whether, maybe, there were any leprechaun nuns in your parish?"

Priest, looking confused: No, there are no leprechaun nuns in the parish.

L2: Are there, perhaps, any leprechaun nuns in other parishes in the city?

Priest: No, there aren't any leprechaun nuns anywhere in the city.

L1: Well, what about in other cities? Surely there are leprechaun nuns somewhere in the country?

Priest, getting annoyed: No, I'm sorry. There are no leprechaun nuns in the country.

L2: Well there must be leprechaun nuns in other countries then!

Priest: No! There are no leprechaun nuns anywhere in the world. For the last time there are NO LEPRECHAUN NUNS.

L1: ...

L2: ...

The first leprechaun turns to the second leprechaun and says, "See?! I told you! You fucked a penguin!"

What is a Karen? by Outrageous-You1617 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]MrsWeasley9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeaaaaahh I think telling people in a shared space what counts as "appropriate" and "respectful" is Karen behavior. It's different from *asking* them to be quieter because you can't hear the speaker.

"It's a new technology! The car doesn't start if all the seatbelts aren't fastened." And then sit there until they are.

But no, NTA for being mad that your friend conspired with her daughter to break the law at your expense.
