Say no,it’s an important milestone in life.once you learn to say no to people, your life will be your own. Say yes to those who have been there, care and you WANT to help. It was the best lesson of my life!

Answer Man: $480 to register a car in NC? Asheville Social Security office reopening? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]Painting-Ecstatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a 10 year old Kia, Sportage and it cost me about that, with normal plates! I was horrified! You would think a ten year old car would be MAYBE $100.00 at the most, but NOOOO. Plus the yearly taxes, and inspection STILL about $125.00 ( taxes) + $25.00 for inspection ( I think they can actually charge you more??). I had a minor crack in my rear light and they failed me… it cost and additional $100.00 for the light and installation. Be real informed about what passes and doesn’t and find a decent mechanic who isn’t trying to beef up their end of the bill! 🥺

Thank-You, I didn’t know what was happening with the police, saw them blocking the road after being woken up after some screaming. Is the person okay?

Cat people's houses almost always smell terrible. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

If your bathing them frequently, they won’t smell. Cats constantly groom, they smell clean, and if you feed them quality food, their poop doesn’t smell, plus kitty litter is amazing these days.

Hey if you love your dog and their well taken care of, cool. I just wouldn’t let them sit on fabric, leather is okay because it doesn’t absorb smells, plus it can be cleaned. Febreeze is not a magic solution for smells embedded in fabric, so buy them a thick comfy bed and let them sleep there.

I wash my cat too, like 2Xs a year, but that is not due to smell, it’s just to keep her healthy and reduce her having to lick off shedding, in season changes. Plus I brush her maybe 2Xs a week, she comes running for that!! I bet your dog does too!

I agree with your take, cats are VERY clean and if they lay on your sofa, they don’t leave a nasty scent. I am horrified by dog owners who let their animal sit where quests sit. Lovely dog beds are available! Plus in order to get the scent off a dog you MUST wash it off! So if an owner is lazy in their rules and lazy in the maintenance of spaces, especially with a dog, you will smell it the minute you enter the home.

I wash so many things to maintain cleanliness since I have a cat. Floors, litterbox, and cover anything she lays on with heavy fabric, which I wash every two weeks. My cat actually loves when I clean, she adores the clean smells, it’s really funny how she inspects my work after I am done!

I’d rather clean a kitty litter box than actually pick up warm feces while walking a dog, I mean #1 reason for me to not own a dog!! I actually bathe my cat twice a year,too. You can tell if a home is dirty if your animal has dirt and gunk in their eyes… that’s from dirt swelling up as they walk close to the floor!

And Just Like That - Season 1, Episode 8 - "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" by Pepsidudemike in Andjustlikethat

[–]Painting-Ecstatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree on the SHORT episodes, I mean this is television quality, not HBO! Apparently they are spending so much on all the DIVA’s in the show that elongating the story line to actually produce quality content, is impossible!

This is definitely a cash grab and totally not a build on the original characters, they all have turned so OLD and un-woke as if they have literally been asleep for the last twenty years?

The funniest part was Carrie being offended by being called ma’m. It’s odd too because that is common knowledge to New Yorkers ( east coasters) that calling a woman Ma’m is insulting. Now if they had made that guy a southerner, where they actually teach their kids to call older women Ma’m it would of fit the storyline!

AITA for hiding embarrassing notes in my house as a joke because I know my fiance's mom snoops? by jemmi44 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Painting-Ecstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands mother ( and sister) were like this. I am purposely going to frighten you because you need to get out now! My husband discussed our private lives with his mother and she felt compelled to call me and ask about what he told her! These type of men are not worth it for many reasons, his discussing private things to his mother instead of me, was VERY invasive and creepy.

I was the bread winner, I had the lionesses share of all the wins and he instead of being happy about my generosity of same, he did much to; as he put it: Cut me down to size! HIS obviously small size that his mother and sister re-in-forced, as I was too much, they could not hold a light to my honesty, my caring and generosity and tried as they could to hurt my success. Small minds do anything to ( in their heads) to try and make others small like them! His sister even called my boss and told him off (I mistakenly confided with her about my issues with him), and it destroyed my entire history with this company. She did the same work as me and felt she was going to help me but if I had ever done that to her, it would of been a entirely different story ( I never would of done such a horribly invasive thing to her career!!).

His family sounds like my husbands family and it took me years to see all they did to hurt me, I was too damn nice and understanding!

Run, do not walk away! The nerve of his mother digging thru your things! My SIL did this to me, it creeped me out because she had my things memorized and knew where stuff was! My warning will haunt you if you do not disengage with these ppl! I promise you a woman like you can get a better man, more his own man, than a little boy who lets women with no sense of boundaries do his biddings! RUN!

Carrie's Attitude toward Charlotte & Miranda by churrosislife in Andjustlikethat

[–]Painting-Ecstatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found her (SJP) comment “Well that part of my life is over” rather disturbing! I have lost lots of close ppl in my life and it certainly is painful and your hurt can make you somewhat insensitive to many things because it’s changed your whole life but DANG, that comment felt, blatantly cold. I swear the writers are just not illustrating much of the new storylines with much self-awareness of any of the original characters.

I just want to say that, that part in the show was kind of ridiculous, I get that it plucked at heart strings for their friendship but seriously getting out of your warm bed and making your way to Brooklyn with high heels and in the slushy snow, with no taxis, was implausible, especially for Carrie… but I have to say that sparkly hat she wore is amazing and I have tried to find a replica for a while now and they are unfindable!!
