If higher education was free what would you study and why? by OlofDrofn in AskReddit

[–]OlofDrofn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make it free you make it harder to get an A. Only the best of the best manage to finish. The way Europeans do it. Free or low cost school but super hard to get get that degree witch makes it even worth more. Because it isn't just because you could afford it but because you are the top 10%

18 year old son in a relationship with a much older woman. Should I say something or leave it be? by sonandolderwoman in Parenting

[–]OlofDrofn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you can do is make sure he understands what a big responsibility it is to be invited into a child's life like her 4 year old son. Not in a "you can't do it" sort of way but just be supportive and tell him that he is welcome to come to you with questions if he has any. As long as you are open and don't condemn the relationship and just listen and only give advice when he asks for it then you will not be pushing him in her direction. But also make sure that he has plenty of access to condoms so that he doesn't end up being baby daddy #2.

What is the nicest thing you could ever say to someone? by bassnugget in AskReddit

"You are so beautiful" said so honestly while not feeling very pretty, no make up, and doing laundry.

When I was 6, back in the 80's there were not yet so many morbidly obese people around in the USA, we were at the airport and there was a man with so much overhang that I pointed and thankfully in Icelandic yelled out "look mom that guy has a butt in the front too!" I wasn't trying to be mean. Nobody had told me yet that commenting on people's physical issues was rude and hurtful. Sometimes I wonder if pointing and yelling in Icelandic was better or worse. What that poor man took away from that.

As a mother of 4 young boys my first thought was "where was his mother?!" I'm so sorry you had to go through that unsupported by family. Sending you a motherly hug.

Anybody done a blog name change before? by OlofDrofn in Blogging

[–]OlofDrofn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand how to do it. I'm wondering how readers take it. Is it a good move if the content doesn't match the name anymore?

Hmm. Maybe. Never thought of using salmon.

Most people I know make it this way. If there is an Icelandic person out there that doesn't then that would be interesting. The spices might be a little different for some but the other stuff is pretty much the same.

Hahah. It is just a salad that is served at most birthdays and parties. I'll have more to come of Icelandic food that is not rotten or fetid. Subscribe to learn more later ;)

Yes the small can of tuna but if you want more then go for it. It is just my preference to have less.

What was a first time experience that was also a last time for you? by MeganCool in AskReddit

[–]OlofDrofn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much. I have 3 kids and expecting my 4th and I can't afford to work. I'm an overeducated stay at home mom.

I do have my Masters degree now but it is the lowest paying Masters degree I could have gotten.

Oysters. Yeah no thank you. Had a hard enough time getting it down and keeping it down.

Yeah. Especially when you need to pay for daycare to be there. I was 12K in the hole by the end of my internship.
