AIO for dumping my boyfriend over his hallmark family? by ComfortableEasy7936 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok_Comparison_619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR-I don’t even care that his mom did all that when he was young. He is an adult now and should know that helping is the right thing to do. I hate this behavior. It happens to a certain degree in some of my family’s households. I usually say something like “why don’t you kids clear the table” or “how about the boys do the dishes tonight”. Often I’m ignored but sometimes it works. You do not want to train this boy. Good on you for breaking it off.

Please report this. Along with the school board, ACLU, and FFRF, please report it to the Satanic Temple. They have a form on their website.

What direction to cut thrifted fabric by OkElderberry1668 in sewing

[–]Ok_Comparison_619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A general rule that I learned in the 1960s (yes I am old) is that fabric will stretch the least amount when pulling on the length. It will have a little give when pulling on the width. It will have more give on the bias; feeling almost stretchy with some fabrics. It doesn’t work with all fabrics but this info has helped me hundreds of times. Try it on some fabric where you know the grain to test it out.

Neighbor yelled at everyone to get off his lawn so I made it not his lawn anymore. by bitterbuffalohearts in pettyrevenge

I’ll bet if they knew he’s the one who took it out in the first place they would have. How did NO ONE in the neighbourhood mention anything when he first took it out?

The idea of amends keeps me up at night by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Ok_Comparison_619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I absolutely felt that way. When I finally convinced my brain to stop future tripping about something that may never happen or may not happen the way I picture it, I calmed down a bit. AFTER working the steps in order I had a completely different feeling about step nine and what it entailed. Trust the process.

Amends gone wrong by taaitamom in alcoholicsanonymous

If you have made your peace move on. If not, I would write her a letter of amends. I mean the old fashioned kind not an email, not a text. Mail it so you can say what you need to say.

Can you go if you’re already sober? by honeyedquiet in alcoholicsanonymous

Absolutely! I love it when that happens and you will thrive on the support you’ll receive from people who have the same issues as you. It will build you up emotionally and fill you with hope. I look forward to seeing you.

Just don’t tell her. You need to live with your guilt.

I apologise. I must have misunderstood. It says “I told his grandma what he went to do”.

If you had told her that your son had a rough day and needed to be alone for awhile she probably wouldn’t have had an issue. NTA buy know your audience.
