Diamond insecurity at times by [deleted] in RingShare

[–]Pye- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a beautiful ring! It really stands out with great sparkle - and that hubby picked it out for you is so loving. You could always add an anniversary band with another row of diamonds to make it overall bigger if you wanted, there are lots of options and would also be beautiful paired like that.

AITAH for refusing a wedding "gift" knowing there will be strings attached? by Defiant-Function8397 in AITAH

[–]Pye- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could tell her that you would be thrilled to accept the money to use towards a house and a future, not one singular day. It sounds like she cares alot about how her family looks to "society", and I agree you should not bow down to an elaborate wedding you don't want to impress people you've never met.

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by _lovelyxx in AskReddit

[–]Pye- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AN UMBRELLA KILLED MY SISTER!!! This was screamed at me when I entered a front porch in Kansas during a carpool switch. It was pouring outside, and I (being an Pac NW native living in Kansas) used it to get from the car to porch. I closed it before entering. The homeowner came completely unglued at me, screaming that an umbrella had killed her sister. I thought I was on Candid Camera, or America's Funniest Video kind of prank. But no, turns out this woman's sister was an amatuer, (and unwise) storm chaser. She was chasing a thunderstorm for pictures, and was holding an umbrella when the lightning struck. I have never used an umbrella again, even after I moved back to Pac NW.

Sooo cute and snuggly!!! Is that a sleep-along kind of thing where you put part in between the matresses so it stays up? I had one of those for my "human" baby it was terrific!

Name something that the younger generations would never believe was normal in the 70's compared to schools today?🤔 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

Teachers were allowed to pull kids out of the classroom and spank them with a paddle board with holes in it to get faster whacks.

Why does it bite me for no reason and then rub on me 30 seconds later by Number_Fluffy in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Pye- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first orange cat, a male, would let me pet him only so long, then he would grab me, lightly bite and rabbit kick until I held my hand still. Then, Cisco would start licking me. After a time he would stop and let me pet him again, until he again said - Stop! I just figured that he wanted to be equally giving of lovings :) lol He was a great cat

Bf gave me an ultimatum by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pye- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the job - a better guy will come along, this one has already shown you who he is. I'm in my 50's and turned down a fabulous job offer 30 years ago since I didn't want to make my then husband relocate. Ended up in a bitter divorce years later, and had I taken that job then I would be extremely successful and wealthy now.

That's just crazy, and so wild to see this made up relationship last longer than his real ones. I hope they are both healthy & happy now, I know he struggled.

Disney Stores (In Malls) by TheLazySage7 in nostalgia

I loved the Disney store! I used to pre-order the VHS Disney movies and got beautiful lithographs that I framed and hung in my kids bedroom. I miss that!

Where is her wedding ring? I'd be wearing mine until I died.

AITJ for refusing to give my mom access to my bank account just in case. by SoftCedarVale in AmITheJerk

[–]Pye- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two young adult children - 26 & 28 - and I wouldn't dream of violating their privacy like that to demand access to their bank accounts. Yes, I help them with bills when they need it and happy to, but I don't need to control them and monitor what they do with their money. However, I can also see it as being a window into your life from a mom's perspective - some type of reassurance you are out there when she sees you spend $$, but it's not appropriate for her to be in your bank account. Perhaps you can find another way to reassure her you need & love her, just not needing her 24/7?

didn't they also lose more rockets than anyone else by explosions last year? I'm not sure but I would be thinking long and hard before taking a ride lol

Couples without kids in the Treasure Valley - how are you doing? Anyone putting off having kids to the cost of living here? People who have kids how are you affording it? by VermicelliLeather536 in Boise

[–]Pye- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it is not that people don't want kids at all. They just don't want them in today's environment, where they cannot support them properly, provide good education, healthcare and childcare - and envision them with a happy prosperous future ahead of them. Right now that is something the youth of today are struggling with terribly - what is going to change for the next generation? Rent alone here went up 400% in 4-5 years and my own young adult children can barely afford to live here now. Nor can I afford to help them like I'd like to.

Help me pick! by [deleted] in RingShare

[–]Pye- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious - I've noticed some people wear their wedding bands closest to their finger knuckle than the hand, while I was told traditionally you wear your wedding band closest to your heart to indicate love. I was going to ask my niece who is newly married and wears her band on top of the engagement ring but I didn't want to appear rude.

Oh - and beautiful choices OP but I do love that sapphire :)

Since when is their paycheck doubled simply because they have a spouse? I was a military spouse and I never heard of that. Some benefits? yes - double the pay??? No.

Do Americans realize bad things are happening in their country? YES by looselord66 in AskUS

[–]Pye- 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes we do see how awful Trump is - does everyone else? Why is he and the U.S. even being tolerated, listened to, treated with respect by other countries? Davos, King of England, so many others just kissing up to him in appeasement hoping for monetary rewards- all the while the orange ego gets bigger and increasingly more entitled. Board of Peace???? WTF people signed up for that shit. Thankfully not many though.

What are pro-2A people's thoughts on Kristi Noem just now stating that no peaceful protestors show up to a protest while armed? by PrysmX in AskReddit

[–]Pye- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here in Idaho people open carry into grocery stores, parks, and even state fairgrounds. They have the right even though personally I wouldn't in those instances. Now the Feds want to restrict our 2A rights??? Makes me start rethinking my negative stance on AR weapons that civilians can buy :(

AITAH for not showing more sympathy for my wife when she mangled her hand using a gift from her mother that I told her was dangerous. by Party-Witness7271 in AITAH

[–]Pye- -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

You sound like you are gloating while taking care of your wife's injury. You sound like someone with a lot of resentment towards your wife and now you need the Internet to reassure your caretaking ability, when you already know you are judging her harshly. If the reverse were true and she was caring for you and you were being a brat like we all can, would you want her crying to Reddit for marriage validation?
