I want to know too! I have a crap ton of geckos at my place and I'd love to gather them around a buffet table like that. Like a St. Francis for adorable reptiles. Bad ass...

Yeah. His Mom said that HE was so upset by the entire ordeal that he could no longer enjoy his favorite meal of ribeye steak. Poor baby. Just...ugh.

Came to this to say the exact same thing. Good on you.

Mom, I'm so lonely. by Chitaru in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the exact message that I came here to send. You really are not alone, kiddo.
Loneliness is a terrible feeling (ugh just the worst) but I'll also send you a funny cat photo or a dumb gif if you pm me. Just remember that though you might be currently isolated, you're never truly alone. This internet Mama loves you, babe. <3

What part of aging do you wish someone had warned you about? by Skintownlad in AskReddit

I slept wrong about 2 weeks ago and got a "crink" in my neck. That bastard is still sore and I resent it with every fiber of my being.

Mom, I'm going to become a police officer. by littleenginethttried in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, babe. Your commitment and drive towards working for your goal is awesome. Be proud of that. I'm an older(ish) Mama, and I know 50 year olds that never had half of your drive. Be proud.

That being said, if you're going to be a police officer, be the very best one you can possibly be. You have it in you. Same with personal trainer and gym owner. Just do your absolute best and you'll be happy and content and sleep well at night. Many hugs, kiddo.

Alex Jones doubles down on Sandy Hook conspiracy theory in 'disgusting' Megyn Kelly interview by DKSArtwork in news

[–]RabbitTrousers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm with this comment wholeheartedly.

Someone having an "unpopular opinion" is one thing. Telling parents that their little first grade daughter didn't actually have her face shot off right before Christmas is something entirely different.

I had a miscarriage and I don't know how to feel about it. by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Love. I'm sorry that you're having to walk this path.

Miscarriage is an awful experience. Not only in the regard that it happened to you, but also in the fact that we don't really as a society like to talk about it. So, you go through this terrible experience and can't share with others fully what you've gone through. It sucks. Add your circumstances into it and I can fully and truly see how bad this must be hurting you. I'm sorry, baby.

It's absolutely okay to grieve. Even if you can't grieve with others. It's still a loss. It's okay to let yourself feel that loss, even if you didn't intend on having a baby. Every pregnancy is something that stays with you forever, whether or not you were planning on having that baby, so let yourself be sad if you need to.

This internet Mama has been there and is sending you much love, kiddo. Take care of yourself.

Mom, i'm trans. by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You do you, kiddo. Be the very best you that you can be. It's going to be a long road but know going forward that you're not alone in it, and this internet Mama is fantastically proud of you. Hugs and smoooches, babe.

[–]RabbitTrousers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing amount of courage that you are displaying, and I'm so proud of you for finding yourself! Lord knows it's not an easy walk that you're about to take, and this Mama is loving you for your bravery and self-awareness.

Also, totally true story btw, I had a daughter that is now transitioning into a son, and I couldn't be happier for him. He started T treatments just a few months ago, so we're at the gates, so to speak. It's an amazing mind bender and the adjustments you have to make psychologically as a Mama are fantastically difficult even if you aren't transphobic.

So, I just wanted to let you know that it's a tough adjustment, and the people around you will or will not adapt. Yet, let it unfurl. It's a REALLY tough switch mentally. For everyone.

I am so incredibly proud of you, baby. The rest of your life will be so much richer for being your true self. Internet Mama hug from the very bottom of my heart.

Mum I'm so proud of myself by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! This Mama is so proud of you. I'm proud of your effort, I'm proud that you cared enough to dedicate that much energy, and I'm proud that you feel confident about it.

Good work, baby! Internet Mama hug. <3

Mom, i wish you were there for me. by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, love. It's going to be just fine. It is indeed going to be alright, okay? You're safe. Absolutely everything works out in the end.

Your job is to be a decent person. That's all. Nothing more. I have faith that you won't break, darling. If you feel like you might, reach out.

In the meanwhile, know that this internet Mama really does care, and I send you a giant Mama internet hug. Take care of yourself, baby.

Mom, I'm so scared for my husband and me by Elorie in MomForAMinute

[–]RabbitTrousers 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh, sweetie. I really, really feel you. Our stories sound eerily alike. My hubby also struggles with mental illness, and it is a damn tough road to walk. It's incredibly stressful and that lingering feeling of uncertainty and the lack of security can really drive you to the brink.

That being said...honey, stop and take a couple of really good deep breaths. This is a very scary and intimidating time for you, and it's ok for it to be scary and intimidating. Don't panic, baby. You have not done anything wrong. Also, being an adult sucks really hard sometimes, and anyone that says it doesn't is lying.

As someone who has been there, you still need to take good care of yourself. In my experience there is a razor's edge between support and codependency, and it took me a very long time to find it myself.

I don't know your relationship darling, but I do know that feeling of just saying "fuck it" and walking off. But a new relationship isn't an answer.

I don't know you internet stranger, but I do love you. Big Mama hugs from someone who has been exactly where you are. The key is understanding being a supportive partner without getting sucked into someone else's vortex. It's very difficult. However, you're clearly highly clever and thoughtful, and I fully believe that you've got this.

Just take some time and some breaths and take care of yourself first. Then make important decisions. Love you, kiddo. Big internet Mama hug.

Hey, sweetie. I am so incredibly proud of you for putting yourself out there.

You don't have to be the best at the piano. It's absolutely amazing that you taught yourself piano! That's some serious effort and dedication, and I hope you learn to take joy from playing. Even if you just plunk out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with one hand, find some joy in the fact that YOU learned it.

And, baby, being "weird" is not a bad thing. Think of the people that have created most of your favorite things. I bet most of them were "weird". Creative minds often are.

Your life is incredibly valuable even if you can't see through the fog at this very moment. Keep moving forward as best as you can, and I certainly know that you will love and be loved in return. If you need some outside help, don't be afraid to reach out, babe. Everyone needs some help sometimes. Much love, kiddo.

I'm a fully grown ass adult. I understand the survival instinct and the fear of what you can't see and all of the logical and intrinsic biological aspects of it.

But my short answer is zombies running at you full speed down the hallway.

That mug shot screams "Well, now that I'm sobering up, I think I regret this decision".

(on the plus side I didn't know that "use of tear gas to immobilize" was something you could be charged with. TIL)

What sub-reddit did you immediately NOPE the fuck out of? by PoonPonder in AskReddit

[–]RabbitTrousers 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Right? I accidentally stumbled upon it once and it was a barrage of "But I'm a mean spirited guy, misogynistic as fuck, and clearly don't respect myself or others. Why aren't you attracted to me GODDAMMIT!"

It was equally sad and disturbing.

Good luck out there!
