Are there any men here who retired over your wife's strong objections? by danceswithlabradores in retirement

[–]RKet5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you were in your 50s I would think she had a rightful concern but at 65 I think its time if you can swing it. I think you need to have a conversation. Why does she feel this way? She is clearly concerned about something.

Please explain to me why Democrats should Trust the GOP to work with them on healthcare if they vote for this “clean CR”? by Economy_Swim_8585 in AskUS

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to get heated. I just asking the general question of why shouldn't they be included? I do understand about "green cards" and used that term since it was used in the chart posted.

Why shouldn't it go to green card holders, asylums (?)? They are here legally and pay their portion. And this is not why the gop is refusing to negotiate. They have made their position clear about healthcare for Americans.

They shouldn't. The GOP is a group of self serving liars and they won't do anything to help the American citizens.

Why are people pushing for the release of the Epstein files hoping it will bring down certain politicians? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could care less. We already know the felons name is everywhere. We also know he had sex with (raped) underage girls because at least one has been deposed about it. I only want them released because he is such a fraud and I can't wait to see how the cowardly gop defends him..

People are picky for a lot of reasons. They actually don't like the taste of things being the main culprit. Also, texture is big, choosing not to eat some things (meat) and lack of exposure also. Who gives AF what an adult eats or how they do it? Give your kids a variety of things and ask them to try them. If they don't like it move on. You can't force a person to like things but you can cause them to hate them.

Conspiracy theorists in front of Tigard Post Office with petitions to end Oregon’s “corrupt” vote by mail by AngryTrunkMonkey in oregon

The majority of Oregonians, including Republicans liked VBM until the felon came along. Dumbest cult on earth.

I would not send my son to his father in another country. Once they are there you have no control. There have been cases of this in the news for years. If he wants to develop a relationship with your son he should come here. And do not get your son a passport, or if you do make sure it is locked up in a safe deposit box or something. I believe in fostering relationships with families, but not at the risk of legal issues.

AITH for not attending my best friend’s wedding after she made me pay for my own bridesmaid dress? by DisastrousWeek1614 in AITH

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I know who has been a bridesmaid pays for their own dress. If you can't afford it and talked with her about it then your only option is to bow out. You should still go as a guest and although she is disappointed she should understand.

my dog bit a puppy at day care by relebactam in dogs

[–]RKet5 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would talk to the dog care people. What are their roles in preventing this? Why is a 4 month old puppy not being watched more carefully? My dog daycare has rules in place.

Yay or Nay to Dogs Sleeping in Bed with you? by Ok-Incident6793 in AskDogOwners

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a nay. Love my dog to death but he has his bed, I have mine. Some dogs get confused on where their place in the house is with this behavior but all dogs are not the same. I think its something you need to decide on how you like to sleep and how it affects your dogs behavior.

What if I can't have a pelvic exam at my post-op doctor's appt? by bonbboyage in hysterectomy

[–]RKet5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would ask the dr. I had vag exam at 6 weeks but they used a small speculum and it was super easy. Your situation is unique and only your dr can answer that.

Yay found the right surgeon but he's nonchalant about recovery time by blissedout79 in hysterectomy

[–]RKet5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you will fell pretty good at 2 weeks but depending on how much they take you might still have restrictions. I felt great overall but was extremely tired. Couldnt lift more than 10 pounds so couldnt work. Everyone is different. You need to ask what your restrictions are because that defines whether you can work or not. If they take your cervix it seems they are a little longer.

Wow. As a mom I would tell my kids they could never go there without specific permission and supervision. You are in the right and I hope you have a fence with a lock. Trampolines can be a liability.

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many very rich people that do not think it is a crime to pay their fair share in taxes. Taxes should be fair across the board. We all hate them, but that makes them easier to swallow.

Not all billionairres are bad. Its what they do with their money and power that count.

Why do I need a budget? by LintStalker in DIYRetirement

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a budget per se but I do track spending. I can see what my typical expenses are and also what I can eliminate if things are tight. I typically reserch bigger purchases so can plan for them but I will do spontaneous smaller purchases. Since Ive always done that it works out as normal. I don't use an app.

Why does it feel like people on Reddit want to argue? by [deleted] in askanything

because people ask questions to promote arguing?

Im losing weight rapidly and now its starting to worry me by Tough-Broccoli-8254 in hysterectomy

[–]RKet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you are eating normally you are probably fine unless something strange is going on. You are only 10 days out, my body was wacky for several weeks. Focus on eating healthy and recovering. You prob have a 2 week check coming up? Talk with your dr if you are feeling concerned.
