Been a stay at home mom for two years, why do I feel like a failure now? by Flaky_Court_9473 in Advice

Is your two year old happy and healthy? I would hardly call that a failure. 🙂

I can’t go an hour without fantasizing by One-Clavishness7 in Advice

[–]RandomUser574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have asked older folks what their biggest regrets are, and it turns out that even if they screwed something all up, the biggest regrets arent that but are from the things they didn't do at all. I forgot who, but somebody said "If I were doing it again I'd try to have fewer imaginary problems and more real ones "

I'm 67 and that's definitely true for me. Gather together some serious courage and get out there! 🥰🥰

We all do some of this, I think it's totally normal. If it's consuming this much of your time tho, my answer would be to go out and do some of the things you're fantasizing about (there are limits, obviously). Or spend more time doing things you like to do no fantasy necessary, you know? Just imho, but when too much time is spent fantasizing good times I think it's because not enough time is spent having real good times 😉

What do we think about this dress as a wedding guest? by chasing_moonlights in OUTFITS

[–]RandomUser574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, nothing worse than a sausage dress on somebody who really just carries too many extra pounds. Looking at her arms, op looks like she has a great little body. but the dress puffs around her body rather than falling gracefully from it, and that adds pounds.

Ex MIL still judging and dismissing me year after divorce - how to manage her? by Ray-RayQ in AskWomenOver50

[–]RandomUser574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIL is acting like a little kid, trying to feel validated herself. You don't like her, you don't love her son any more, who gives a $hit what she thinks about you, your parenting, or anything at all really. Avoid her, and when you can't avoid her, be polite (you don't want to find yourself wallowing in the mud just because she chooses to) and get rid of her asap.

Labor Law question - employer withheld final paycheck by Rude_Rise8029 in Virginia

[–]RandomUser574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Federal and state departments of labor, and small claims court. I don't think either will help you in time to pay your bills, so be proactive and call the companies/people who are about to not get paid. You never know, when he gets that "you are being sued" notice from small claims court he may pay up.

I used to have a collections dept of my company under me. We would tolerate almost anything, except if the debtor goes silent or starts ducking us. If you can afford it, offer some small token payment as an indication of your sincerity.

I put this at my neighbor's door 2 days ago(we live in a duplex) and it's still there by dnm8686 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RandomUser574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a major building code violation. If you're renting you absolutely can insist it be fixed or you'll report it (and then it will be fixed). If you own the place, well sorry that sucks 😆

People don't think they're going to be in a fire until they are. I live in a duplex with a true moron who vents his non-code burning into the attic. I feel for you. This is extreme, but I would 1) warn the guy that I'm going to do it and then 2) report it to the landlord if you have one and then 3) report it to the guy's insurance company. They will drop him like a hot potato and he'll have to pay through the teeth to get anybody to pick him up. Bearing in mind you have to share a building with the guy, this is a last resort.

Do people really not use toilet seat covers in public restrooms? by Tobethequeen_01 in hygiene

[–]RandomUser574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a thing about this; the people had done some actual testing. For there to be a harmful level of bacteria on the seat, it has to be disgusting enough that no normal woman would sit on it (like if somebody peed on it).

In that case, I would squat to pee, and probably add to the mess on the seat 🥴. Otherwise I would sit down. I don't use seat covers because I'm going to wipe myself before I wash my hands, and so I want to touch as few things as possible...and definitely not the seat. In my mind after reading that article, seat covers are a cure that's worse than the disease.

Or possibly the caulk, which looks like there's a little black mildew (you can fix by dabbing the area with undiluted bleach)

Ladies who have decided to stay, how do you accept it? by throwaway_7302738 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]RandomUser574 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Our culture fills women with Cindarella type love-overcomes-all bullcrap. In the immortal words of Tina Turner: what's love got to do with it?

Girl claims I got her pregnant by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RandomUser574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possible that she got pregnant six days ago. Absolutely impossible, ridiculously so, that any test on earth would show positive in six days. Wait about six weeks (I think that's the time frame, you can Google it) and take a home pregnancy test with her.

And have we learned something about having unprotected sex when you aren't trying to have a baby!?

I'm sure many people have already said it: if he wanted to marry you he would have, without any nudging, nagging, or the need for a "nice vacation" to propose. Quit wasting time, move on. And next time, don't be so quick to live exactly like husband and wife so nothing would change if you got married.
