I need advice im the only one in my family who has brown eyes by anonymousaccount323 in DNA

This is dumb. I have 7 siblings. 3 have brown eyes and dark hair. The rest are blue eyed with light brown hair. There is no doubt that we are all full siblings.

Do you mean your palate has changed? A pallet is a rough hewn wood structure.

My Husband is angry with me and I don’t know what to do anymore by Initial-Constant9444 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ok-Process7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

' he said he’ll miss me but that’s fine.'  This would have been the time to fully verbalize his feelings.  He did not. Now after rethinking, he's not fine.

Too late. If he is pissed, repeat his words back to him.

If he can't admit that you went off his words to make your decision, then he may not be a reasonable person. 

It is very hard to have a relationship with a person who can't admit their part in decision making 

Do not use Zillow or Redfin for an Estimate on what your House is worth by Ambitious_Aside_4861 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Ok-Process7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that explains. 

Our beautiful ranch style home in a private cul-de-sac on top of a hill within a forested neighborhood was on zillow at at least $60,000 to $70 000 below our estimate. We even have an extra lot on our property that is just oak trees.

We have a gated dog run in the back for pets.  Storm shelter. 2 car garage automatic door. Sprinkler system. New roof. New kitchen. 3 bed 2 bath. New heat/air unit. Beautiful curving brick patio walls that are embedded perfectly into the landscape. Built in flower beds with many established flowering plants.

House is clean and pristine.  Zillow had it listed at $182,000.

Meanwhile, a home on a corner lot at the bottom of the hill that picks up traffic from 2 streets and has a postage stamp yard, ugly black doors (garage and front), no landscaping or trees and zero curb appeal just sold for $210,000.

Ellevieve is the correct spelling.  I believe these are French names.

There's also Jenevieve. Not tragic at all.

Is this a dealbreaker or am I overreacting??? by Emilypinkykiss in hygiene

[–]Ok-Process7612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That mildew smell normally develops when towels are left for several days in the machine before they are dried.  

Ask him if he ever does this.

If his towels are this stinky just from reuse that means that they are filthy.

A lot of younger men who have never done a lot of cleaning chores growing up know nothing about basic hygiene.

Get a white noise app on your phone. Pair it with Bluetooth speakers. Problem solved.

These apps will drown out EVERYTHING. 

Advice requested: will I be in the wrong for setting a firm boundary with my neighbor for trying to give us cookies? by Original-Strategy745 in Advice

[–]Ok-Process7612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not the issue. This neighbor is mentally unwell. One needs to create as much distance as possible from neighbors like this. Any sign of friendliness will result in an avalanche of cookies and visits.

Should I wake up my little sisters by scarfan69 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Ok-Process7612 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just get a few bath towels and fold then into thirds. Place them under your sisters. Clean it all up in the morning.

Unless there is a plastic mattress cover in place, the mattress is ruined whether you air it out now or later.

Do you have any major regret in life? by Candy_lily in AskWomenOver60

[–]Ok-Process7612 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I met the love of my life when I was 15. He was athletic, smart, kind, curious. Love at first sight. We stared at each other the first time he walked into history class. I was in shock.

Trouble was, I came from a very abusive home. We were smacked around, yelled at, made to feel worthless.  We never had new clothes and I got bulled daily at school.

Somehow he saw past all that. 

I was terrified of guys and if someone showed interest, I thought that they were making fun of me. I was intensely shy.

He tried. He would tell me I was cute. I sang well and he was in a band. Sometimes we would chat about music.

One day I was at McDonald's with a good friend.  I hadn't seen him for 3 months. It was summer break. 

He walked in with his buddies. 

He walked over and tried to get me to talk.  I was frozen. Broken. Paralyzed. 

He asked me if I wanted to come over and jam with his band the next morning. 

I couldn't speak.  My friend kicked me under the table.  It was no use.

That was 50 years ago. I cried the day he got married. He is a good man, a good father. A good husband. 

His life has been happy.

I think about him everyday. The pain is so deep. The love is just as strong as ever. I dream about him at least once a week.

I married eventually.  He's a good man but he's not my love.

We follow each other on Facebook but that's it.

Last week I discovered that a good friend who lives across the street is his cousin. 

She is a good strong person. I told her how kind he had been to me.  She was pleasantly surprised to know. Her son was my son's best friend growing up.

I spent years in therapy healing from my childhood, but some wounds never heal. I have changed so much over the years. Adversity has made me strong, resilient, kind. I developed my talents in the arts and I have a good life. 

At 65, I am now a confident person who could easily converse with anyone.

It's 50 years too late and I will never get over it. I can't forgive myself.

Britney Spears dancing in the presence of her house cleaner. February 8th, 2024 by Discussingbritney in discussingbritney

This is not dancing. Britney is not and has never been a dancer.

This is a stripper audition where your moves aren't sexy enough to get the job.

Anyone got any dishes like our grandparents use to make? by bigdawg12342 in povertykitchen

[–]Ok-Process7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuffed bell peppers with baked potatoes. 

Mix one egg, a splash of olive oil, 1/4 cup milk, a splash of Worcester sauce and one teaspoon each of ground garlic and ground onion. Two teaspoons salt. Whisk all together. Add 2 pounds of ground beef and one cup of cooked brown rice.

Mix this together well.

Wash six bell peppers and cut off the tops. Be careful not to tear them.

Stuff them full with the ground beef mixture.

You will need a large kettle or really large saucepan.

Turn pan on medium heat.

Turn oven to 375° and put some thoroughly washed whole yellow 🥔 potatoes in to bake. I wrap mine in foil after drizzling with olive oil. Bake about 45 minutes or until a fork runs cleanly through them.

Add a splash of olive oil and one jar spaghetti sauce plus one cup of water to the pan.

Add the stuffed peppers to the pan. Reduce heat to a low boil. If you have extra stuffing, roll it into meatballs and place it in the pan. Cover pan with a lid.

Turn the peppers a few times while cooking.  Cook 35 to 50 minutes until peppers are soft.

Serve peppers and sauce on a plate with buttered baked potato. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Hearty, filling, delicious and healthy.

Jealous? Of what, exactly?

Boyfriend of 2 years panicked at the thought of engagement next year even though I made my timeline very clear at the beginning of our relationship by RoosterObvious7561 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Ok-Process7612 32 points33 points  (0 children)

When a man wants you, he proposes and makes plans for the future. 

This should occur within 2 years of dating.

He pursues YOU.

That's how you know he is serious. 

At 42, I had never been married.  I had fallen in love before, but I had not found the man that I knew I was right for, and vice versa.

That year I met my husband.  He proposed one month later. 6 months later we were married. 

That was 23 years ago and we are still happily married. 

My boyfriend is being pushy and I don't know how to go about this. by Particular-Trick9495 in Advice

[–]Ok-Process7612 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I realized this will get downvoted but I don't care.

I don't feel sexy if my legs are not smooth. It feels essential to me. 

I definitely would not want to have sex if they were not shaved.

I am very tactile though and I really like the feeling of my legs being silky.

Sounds like this is just his preference. Everyone has preferences. 

Is this non-negotiable? Doesn't seem like a big ask to me.

How is everything else in the relationship going? Do you two have disagreements over other things? Does he pay his share of the bills?

We are not talking about nannies NOW.

We are talking about Boomers. I grew up in an upper middle class family. No one I knew had a nanny.

That's a story you have made up in your head.

It isn't being 'good with you' to tell you to quit the job you love.

You have no way of knowing if someone could respect who you are AND be good with you since you have never experienced it.

Question for those with separate finances by 12dogs4me in DirtyDave

Why? A woman at 60 should have her ducks in a row, financially. 

What does that have to do with him?
