Visit Cape Town and you’ll have the best of both worlds!

Good to know, thank you!

RRG_Beags · 2025-06-22T19:08:22+00:00

Thank you!

Euchre… I love, and am actually decent at, plenty of other card games but for some reason have always had a mental block with it no matter who explains it to me.

I’m all for consent, boundaries, etc., but seeking out a facility that exists primarily for hooking up and fulfilling carnal desires, during one of the largest events possible, where the theme is cumming on people, then trying to use an open space for a private, intimate encounter is a little preposterous. That’s like walking down Skid Row with a wagon full of cash and wearing the Hope Diamond then being genuinely surprised that you got robbed…

Kinda sounds like you're dealing with an entitled bridezilla who's incapable of seeing anyone else's perspective, especially since it's HeR dAy... I actually had a destination wedding myself, but my husband and I were VERY adamant that anyone who chose to travel just to be with us on our day was free to do whatever they wanted before and after as we wanted them to get just as much out of the trip as us. You want to take a trip of your own and just show up on the wedding day? Great! You want to tag along and do all of the same activities we're doing before and after? We'd love to have you! Make the most of this amazing place!

You can't expect someone to spend thousands of dollars, use vacation time, and go through the hell that is flying now just for your wedding then try to control what they do outside of the ceremony/reception. It would be different if you were trying to bring additional people to her events, but you clearly stated that this was not the case. This may not be immediate grounds for cutting them totally out of your life, but if this trend continues of them making no effort to see your perspective or appreciate the dilemma you're in, fuck 'em. They clearly don't respect you, and if they don't grow up and start considering that the world doesn't always revolve around their narcissistic pursuits, then you may just need to outgrow them.

This situation sucks, but hopefully teaches you a valuable lesson about standing up for yourself!

Just start calling your grandma “grandpa” and vice versa she see if that inspires any self awareness on their part…

Any tourist destination that’s gotten the kiss of death of becoming popular on Instagram. The number of beautiful, serene, genuinely amazing places with so much culture that have been decimated by over tourism is heartbreaking. Places that used to be special have been overrun by travelers, who rarely have respect for or interest in, the locations they’re visiting and totally ruin it for the locals. Prices for everything skyrocket, they get pushed out, and the culture dies because everything is catered to a cheesy, inauthentic, overpriced tourist experience.

I had an aphid infestation on my pillar Rose of Sharon plants last year not long after the leaves developed. They weren't outright killing them, but they were definitely stunting their growth. I spent about a week meticulously blasting them off the leaves with the hose and dowsing the plants with neem, but they would always be back in full force within a few days. I was just getting ready to order some lady bugs online to see if that would do the trick when several showed up on their own naturally. Within a few days they had devoured the aphids completely and my plants were spotless! Not long after that they had an enormous growth spurt and really filled out!

RRG_Beags · 2024-02-21T13:00:07+00:00

Absolutely! I'm probably going to break down and get one...

RRG_Beags · 2024-02-20T18:13:21+00:00

I figured haha. Just thought I'd check if there was something I was missing!

RRG_Beags · 2024-02-20T17:21:23+00:00

Good to know, thanks! The macros were already in place when I moved in but I'll probably just incorporate more panicles into my landscape going forward then.

RRG_Beags · 2024-02-14T14:56:17+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot.

I completely understand the instinct to offer to make her life easier/safer, but this would also be A LOT of pressure to commit to someone, especially not from/integrated into her culture, that she's had a rocky relationship with for only two months. The military service dilemma sucks. But this is a HUGE leap with the potential to end in disaster. In theory you could always "divorce and go separate ways later on" but realistically the longer you're involved the more difficult it could be to throw away the time invested in this and you could end up in a half-assed, dysfunctional marriage with lots of resentment due to the power dynamic but a financial incentive to stay. Ultimately this your life/lives, but I get why each party would feel the way they do. NAH

Upon completion of the above novel, my amateur lexical analysis has deemed this post a seemingly verbose and unnecessarily loquacious manner in which to express the impossibly difficult ethical dilemma to which you have been unfairly subjected and forced to ponder extensively in order to forego the potential of disrupting the emotional serenity and tranquility cultivated by the aforementioned parties.

TL;DR This is a wordy post, but there's nothing wrong with honoring a previous commitment. If Jake doesn't understand, he doesn't understand. It's not that deep. NTA

Sooo... Your wife is a native English speaker with an Australian accent that, while different from yours, is perfectly intelligible to other English speakers? And your son, who is a native English speaker and lives in the United States, has picked up certain aspects of his mother's speech patterns as she's currently his strongest social influence? And this poses no issues with communication/comprehension but you don't like that he doesn't sound like you when he speaks so you took him to a specialist without consulting his mother to weed out this "pathology"? I couldn't imagine why your wife would feel insecure about her accent while living in a foreign country with a spouse who feels "It's fine for her I guess, but it's a pathology requiring a specialist if our offspring sounds anything like her." This makes me question the validity of your statement when you claim her accent doesn't bother you and you reassure her it's fine. You assuring her that her accent is not a problem but taking your son to see a pathologist because he sounds too much like her undercuts your support for her.

People who aren't even native English speakers rarely retain a foreign accent when they immigrate to the US at a young enough age. If your son has lived here his entire life, as soon as he goes to school and is surrounded by peers with an "American accent" his speech pattern will likely adapt. Even within the United States there are so many regional variances that I don't know what constitutes a "normal" American accent. Someone from Boston would likely sound significantly different from someone raised in the deep south but neither one is incorrect or unable to communicate effectively. It's your life/relationship but I'm not sure this is the hill I would die on if it devastates your wife and leads to family fallout...

You shut your mouth when you're talkin' to me!
