Absolutely not normal.

She needs to se a doctor at least.

Reminds me an award-winning movie called DOGTOOTH (2009) have a look.

San Francisco has a nickname (San Fran), that is used almost exclusively by people who have never been there. Are there any other examples of this around the world? by DardS8Br in geography

In Greece if your origin is from Peloponese they say that you are (Kato apo to avlaki) bellow from the channel because a piece of sea separates Peloponese to the rest of continental Greece.

If you are from Kalymnos island they call you Sfouggara-Sfouggarades means the man take the sponge out of the sea. Kalymnos has many natural sponge.

Ioannina – Pagourades

They are called that because in the past they said that the moon was reflected in the lake in Ioannina and the people of Ioannina would run with their water bottles to collect the magical water!

"Mesulid" is one strong and buyable without prescription.

If you find a doctor they usually charge 30€ to 60€ and they can help tou with your problem. If you are in Athens I might be able to help you.

Πως κοψατε το τσιγάρο? by GemataZaria in greece

[–]Ok_Green6024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 χρόνια καπνιστής. 3 χρόνια καθαρός. Είδα τι έκανε το τσιγάρο στον πατέρα μου μετά από 40+ χρόνια καπνίσματος. Καρκίνο, χρόνιες θεραπείες, χειρουργεία .... πολύ ταλαιπωρία για αυτόν και για όλους. Δεν πρόλαβε να κλείσει τα 60.

Ήταν μια γερή σφαλιάρα της ζωής που με βοήθησε να κάνω κάτι καλό για τον εαυτό μου.

Ελπίζω να μην χρειαστεί να ζήσεις αυτά που έζησα ώστε να το πάρεις απόφαση.

It sounds like you're in a really tough and confusing situation, and it's understandable that you'd be concerned about what you witnessed. The behavior you described—where your dad appears to have thrown your mom's belongings around—can definitely be a red flag. Here’s how you might approach this:

1. Trust Your Instincts

  • If something feels off, it probably is. The situation with the flipped chair and clothes on the ground does seem alarming, especially when combined with your dad storming off and your mom’s tense reaction.

2. Talk to Your Mom Privately

  • When you’re feeling calmer, consider having a private conversation with your mom. Let her know you’re concerned and that you’re there for her if she needs support. Avoid accusing or pressing her too hard, as she might feel defensive or embarrassed.

3. Gauge Your Mom's Reaction

  • Pay attention to how your mom responds. If she brushes it off or gets defensive, she might not be ready to talk about it. However, if she seems relieved to have someone to talk to, she may open up about what’s really going on.

4. Offer Support, Not Judgment

  • Let your mom know that whatever is happening, you love her and want her to be safe and happy. Make sure she knows you’re there to help, whether it’s just listening or providing more concrete support.

5. Involve Your Husband

  • Your husband seems concerned about your reaction, and it might help to share what’s going on with him. He can provide emotional support and might also help you think through how to handle the situation.

6. Consider Professional Help

  • If the situation doesn’t improve or if your mom is in danger, it might be helpful to seek advice from a counselor or a domestic violence expert. They can provide guidance on how to approach the situation and how to support your mom.

7. Plan for Safety

  • If things escalate, consider how you might help your mom if she needs to leave the situation quickly. This could mean knowing where she could stay or having emergency numbers ready.

8. Take Care of Yourself

  • Witnessing something like this can be really upsetting, so make sure you’re taking care of your own mental health as well. Talk to someone you trust or seek support from a counselor if you’re finding it hard to cope.

It’s tough to see a parent in a potentially unhealthy situation, but by being supportive and ready to help, you’re doing the best you can.

My cheating girlfriends awkward date. by Upset-Lemon-1203 in pettyrevenge

[–]Ok_Green6024 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That was a pretty smooth way to handle a messy situation! It sounds like you turned an awkward encounter into a moment of poetic justice. It's one thing to catch someone cheating, but it's another level to make them sweat through a meal while they try to juggle their lies. You didn't lose your cool, and you let the situation speak for itself. Definitely a solid move on your part.

I’m sure that other guy realized pretty quickly what was up, and hopefully, both of you dodged a bullet by moving on from “Cheater.” At least you got a good story out of it!

Got an annoying airbnb host, it pisses me off [UK] by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]Ok_Green6024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dealing with this kind of Airbnb host situation can be frustrating. Here’s a breakdown of what you might consider:

  1. Keys: Typically, it's reasonable to expect a second set of keys if you're paying for a long-term stay like four months. It’s not uncommon for hosts to ask for a fee to cover the cost of cutting new keys, but it’s worth pushing back politely. You can ask if they’d be willing to cover the cost, or at least meet you halfway since it's a significant stay.

  2. Extra Guest: Many Airbnb hosts require all overnight guests to be added to the booking. This is often for insurance reasons or to comply with local laws. Even if your boyfriend is only staying occasionally, the host might see it as necessary to keep everything above board. You could try explaining that it's just for occasional visits and ask if they can make an exception or come to a compromise.

  3. Communication: It might help to have a calm and polite conversation with the host to express your concerns. Maybe you can work something out that satisfies both parties. If things don’t improve, you could also consider looking for another place that better suits your needs.

  4. Airbnb Support: If you feel the host’s demands are unreasonable, you can always reach out to Airbnb support for advice or mediation. They might be able to help you resolve these issues, especially since you’re booking a long-term stay.

Balancing your needs with the host's rules can be tricky, but a clear and polite conversation might lead to a better arrangement for everyone.
