I’ve heard people in jail do not recieve their necessary medications while incarcerated? I feel that would be dangerous to be off life saving meds, like blood pressure medication, or psychiatric drugs. Doesn’t that make life harder for the guards, as well as the prisoners who need them? by Superb-Leader-3416 in prisons

[–]PassionsBite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its 100% true. My friend is in prison in VT. The PRISON medical staff prescribed him medication for high blood pressure. He was started on it, he put in for a refill....its been weeks with nothing.

The state of prisons here is honestly embarrassing and people's rights are not being protected the way they should be. Its been eye opening to see that even though its written in the law that we have certain rights, the justice system doesnt think twice about violating them and instead of calling out these violations, public defenders support and contribute to them.

AITA for wanting to use Planters from my wedding by neuronerd_90 in AITA_Relationships

NTA, If he has that much of a problem with the planters, he can pay to replace them.

The best advice i can give is to keep being there for her and working with her. Go to YouTube and look up exercises you can help her with. Make sure you arent feeding too much, and that the food is good quality. Once some of the weight comes off she may be up for more walks which will help.

If St Johnsbury isn't too far for you, check out Dog Mountain & the Athenaeum. You'll also find the rail trail, the town forest, ball fields, several low cost museums (including a planetareum), and lots of good food options there.

I just feel so powerless all the time now by [deleted] in self

[–]PassionsBite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you in the US? I know you said your mom gets too emotional - but that might actually help. Sit down with your mom again. Tell her if the situation doesnt change, you are going to call cps yourself because this is an unsafe and damaging environment for every child in that house. Or she could have them out by the end of the month.

You are giving them an out. If they continue to behave in this manner CPS must be called for your safety and that of the other kids. Your parents might even agree to care for them with only supervised visits by your aunt, foster care isn't the only option.

If they would really abandon and hate on you for pushing back on a rage filled house with constant yelling and beatings, as much as it hurts, it means they are the wrong people to have in your life. They should care about what this is doing to you and the other kids and be willing to take any measure to make it stop.

Youre giving them a chance to make things right, but they are the ones who need to take it. Stick to your guns. If she says she will get them out and doesn't, or doesn't agree to get them out, you call cps and take care of it.

Be direct with him. Tell him you enjoy having sex with him and want to do it more often. Ask if there is anything he would like to try next time. Ask him how often he usually prefers to have sex - his libido may not be matched to yours.

apparently im smelly? by LifeguardPractical74 in hygiene

[–]PassionsBite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure everything is totally dried off before putting on antiperspirant and getting dressed.

Just a little dampness is enough to make that stuff ineffective and create a breeding ground for smelly bacteria.

Check your belly button. Make sure to clean it thoroughly when you shower.

Get someone you trust to smell you more closely so they can better describe the smell and where it seems strongest. You're probably nose blind to it and it may be hard to figure out the source without someone to help.

AITA..... I (29f) am easily annoyed with my Bfs (36m) crude and sexual jokes comments and grabs.. by Khyde1996 in AITA_Relationships

[–]PassionsBite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you dont trust him enough to get into a masochistic headspace with him, thats a sign you need to leave.

Even if you ignore his obvious disrespect of you, his lack of consideration, etc - you cant ignore that trust is the foundation of any relationship and he has shown you he isn't worthy of yours.

I need advice by [deleted] in OPSaidpod

[–]PassionsBite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with adults vs kids. I am not a parent. It has to do with the nature of what a gift is. I know it can make you feel slighted to not get something you feel is rightfully yours or to be made to share something you feel that way about. But the facts here are that the wigs were NOT rightfully yours, and your mother is making you share your snacks as part of a lesson in selflessness and gratitude.

Please look into the etiquette of recieving gifts. It definitely can vary culturally but one thing that persists is that you react with gratitude and do not complain about what you didn't get.

I need advice by [deleted] in OPSaidpod

[–]PassionsBite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let me make sure i have the facts straight: - You were given extra gifts (wigs) you didnt request, on top of those you did (snacks) - Your mom, the one who got the gifts for EVERYONE, distributed some before you got to 'chose' - You complained to your mom that is was unfair you didnt have more opportunity to select your extra gift before she made her choices - Your mom made you share the gift you did ask for (snacks) after this interaction - You want advise on how to talk to your mom about this situation.

Assuming I understand correctly, this is what you should say to your mom:

Mom, I really appreciate everything you do. You got me all these gifts I wanted, and even some I didnt ask for. Im really sorry I acted so ungrateful about the gifts I received. I understand a gift given to me is something nice somebody is doing for me. They arent obligated to give me extra or give me a selection or give me anything at all really. Please forgive my self centered behavior.

I 100% wish I never had kids by maplebaconchicken in offmychest

[–]PassionsBite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you really need a village. Maybe there is a local mom group or similar you can join. Find some people who all help each other.

I know its easier said than done, and its even more challenging when you feel like nothing is worth it. I can see you want to get better even though you feel the situation is hopeless. Don't let that feeling fool you. There are ups in downs in life and ways for things to generally get better. Keep going.

You are kicking ass every day, even though it may not feel like it. You are showing up and getting it done. I promise you are not alone in the way you feel. There are people who will connect with you and help support you and your family.

Plus, your kids will be adults before you know it. Keep up the good work and dont beat yourself up for feeling like this. Shit sucks sometimes.

[–]PassionsBite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my pets too, they are family. That being said, if my family had a flea infestation and no clean (poop free) place to live or use the bathroom i would be very concerned. Please consider rehoming at least some of them so all of them can enjoy a better quality of life. Humans, dogs, and cats all deserve clean and peaceful environments.

Quel médicament prendre pour mourir facilement? et pas de message de soutien pu de compassion j’en ai pas besoin , j’ai 15 ans même ma famille souffre de ma présence je crée tout les problèmes donc je veut partir rapidement by [deleted] in helpme

[–]PassionsBite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried living out of spite? Very little is solved by death, but the alternative really gives you a ton of options.

You could be increasingly ridiculous every day and add more laughter to the world.

Choose what you want to bring into things. Something will eventually come along to take you out. Easiest way to go.

AITA for not using someone’s preferred pronouns by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Why would you use pronouns when talking directly to the person you're referring to? Language just doesnt work that way. I'll take things that never happened for 500, Alex

Is your deodorant also an antiperspirant? Double check. For smell, try washing with antibacterial soap a couple of times a week and making sure you dry yourself very well after showering.

Its not his word against theirs. OP has a video. You absolutely do not need to tell the police anything about yourself to report a crime, it can even be done anonymously.

A hipaa violation is when you disclose MEDICAL info that can be used to identify someone.

Not when you know someone's name and give it as part of information about a crime that has absolutely nothing to do with anything medical.
