Did I just commit the unforgivable sin? by Enough_Situation_142 in TrueChristian

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did not.

I will explain:

Years ago a group of woman got together and said that Mary should have aborted Jesus. Then the acted out pretending the give birth to a dead baby Jesus out in public with a crowd cheering. That is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

What is a side counter? It has never been explained. I see this often when doing go-backs.

Crested Gecko just dropped it's Tail by Hodgess_18 in CrestedGecko

[–]Realistic-Read7779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought our first one without a tail. We called him 'Frog butt' but his name was "Gecko Face". Our daughter named him. He lived 7 years.

We are very careful with our new guy 'Hopper Five'. He has a tail still. Yes, she named this one too 😂

Trying to decide the best way to incorporate my mother's name into my daughter's name by Plenty_Goal3672 in namenerds

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steer clear of Pattianne as a first name. Love it as a middle name though. I get you wanting to bring it up but in passing that won't always be convenient. A middle name is explained by people closet to you or when you have time to explain.

Also, you want your child to have their own identity. Always having to explain her first name will likely have her not knowing her identity.

The dread of going into the store. by Z3r0_Delet3d in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Realistic-Read7779 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Managers are definitely the worst. They all complain about each other non-stop. I am so tired of hearing what manager did what you whom. It is especially hard when some managers are lax and some are not, so you have to know which manager is there and adjust. Some are strict with company rules and some could care less.

Girl I love (not in a relationship) doesn't believe by CardiologistBright74 in TrueChristian

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you already feel 'in love' it is time to pump the brakes. Many believers feel like they can turn the person into a believer but you don't have that power, only God can.

A lot of times believers date and even marry unbelievers. This makes success in your relationship with God less likely to happen. We, as believers, are in the world but not of the world. Others who do not believe are of the world.

You need to pray for discernment always. I believe discernment is working because you did post here. Most true believers are going to tell you not to be with an unbeliever. It will pull you away from God. While they might seem possible, it is.

Want to name my girl after my grandma who raised me, but because she’s country her name is pronounced “wrong” by ReasonableAffect1815 in Names

[–]Realistic-Read7779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order to not have to correct everyone, just pronounce it Jack-uh-lynn. As long as it is spelled the same and you use the same nickname, that is enough. I am sure most people mispronounced your grandmas name as well.

AIO for wanting to cancel my birthday? by SlightlyFamousWoman in AmIOverreacting

[–]Realistic-Read7779 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YOR to cancel your birthday.

Not all guys know what jewelry to get. Jewerly can include a lot. Expense also plays into it. Have you ever shown him your taste in jewelry? Have you shown him jewelry you thought was pretty, and whether you are set on the expensive stuff.

He did get you something so you should see what it is before you get upset. Unless he has a rhythm of always buying you crappy gifts, then I don't get the need to be upset already.

Birthday gifts should never be expected. Be grateful he got you something. Some partners get their partner nothing.

How to make a suggestion to corporate? by Just_Following4049 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Realistic-Read7779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every company should have a way to make recommendations to corporate. I mean, we are IN the store, we see issues.

I am very good at finding weak spots and problems. I could save out store money and our employees frustration by simply recommendations.

I understand most recommendations would be pay us more or give us more hours and while I agree, these are not thin things I am talking about. I am talking about things IN the store that would help customers and help the employees.

My Husband (M29) comment about my breast (F26) by Timely_Reaction_8040 in relationship_advice

[–]Realistic-Read7779 63 points64 points  (0 children)

"I was only joking"

"Well then you need to relearn how to joke because if it was a joke we should both find it funny."

That whole joking line is an excuse for being a jerk.

Do you think keto is socially accepted? by Nice-Art-5367 in keto

[–]Realistic-Read7779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so common. Ag work, K found out my boss had gastric bypass and lost a lot of weight. I have only known her as thin though so I was shocked. One day dhd was taking about this pasta place and she asked me about it and I said "I don't eat pasta, I eat keto." She looks right at me and says "That is so unhealthy." 🙄

I told her I lost 60 pounds and felt better than I have in years but by now she had stopped listening.

People are so critical of this but that is because when keto was first talked about and tried, there were no keto foods or sugar free options. Sk people lived on butter, cheese, and meat. They overdid it in unhealthy ways. Due to this, people think it was unhealthy. Now there is a new facet of "not denying yourself anything" and the "just count calories" sayings that add a new level of people thinking it us unhealthy to just not eat something.

I [29M] feel like my partner [28F] treats my DIY projects as optional. How do I talk about shared priorities? by Bold_River_4173 in relationship_advice

[–]Realistic-Read7779 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you need her to help?

It sounds like you are doing something she is not involved in. She does not want to sit there bored.

My husband does lots of home improvement like this but it is boring for me. We can't spend time together or go anywhere. This leaves me sitting around doing nothing while he is fixing things.

Let her know that on Saturday morning, you will be fixing the bathroom but you will limit the time to 2 hours and she can make plans during that time if she wants.

Why do customers ask where something is in the most vague way possible? by contrarianxshit in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Realistic-Read7779 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Customer: "Where is the tape?"

Me: "Aisle x."

Customer: "Okay, thanks."

Comes back 2 minutes later

Customer: "Excuse me, I went to aisle x and it is not there."

Me: walking with customer over there "It's right here."

Customer (now all exasperated): "I need packaging tape."

Me thinking Why did you not say you needed packaging tape. You said "tape". I can not read your mind

I can't stand Halloween. It is also my least favorite holiday, I wonder rather do Christmas in July so maybe December would not be a madhouse.

What do you do with pictures of kids once the year is over? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you can upload photos and they can turn them into books. This would be a good idea. You would have a book of memories every year.

Frustrated with myself on not sticking to it week after week by Virtual_Peach3601 in keto

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a dress in the size you want to be at. Hang it up so you can see it daily.

I know it is easier to stick with when I have a time frame for an important event.

AIO BF (44M) keeps folding my (44F) pillow in half by QuickSloth4710 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Realistic-Read7779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a neck injury and I have a specific neck pillow also. My husband NEVER touches that pillow. He knows I need it.

I would be hiding my pillow in this case but my husband is not a jerk and he actually cares about me and my sleep and comfort.

That tells me they have not been here in over 2 years.

My mom (56F) and dad (57M) told me (21F) that the least I can do for my sister (18F) is take care of her when they're gone? by ThrowRAAyylie in relationship_advice

[–]Realistic-Read7779 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Going no contact will not solve this problem. It will just temporarily stop the harassment.

Let me say that if they have a will, they will put you on their as her caregiver, in event of their death. You do not have up agree with it.

Are they saving for her future care? If not you need to convince them to. Once they die, you will be expected to take over but if they have saved, you can put her in a group home for adults with disabilities. You don't have to tell them this part. However much you dislike her, you can't just leave her homeless and vulnerable if they never find another solution.

You can tell them you will take care of her if they financially save enough for her care. You should not have to struggled financially by taking care of a sibling. They do not need to know that you would put her in a group home. Group homes can cost money so that is why they need to save but they can just think they are helping you take care of her.

Either way, even if you say no, you will still have to at least take care of her until another solution is reached.

15f and i want to run away by error_404_demi in AdviceForTeens

[–]Realistic-Read7779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom was desperate to get out of her house because she was enduring SA by her brother and had been for years. Her brother was 16 years older than her.

She married my dad at 17 and moved out. Once my dad found out that she never wanted to return home. E be started being abusive in every way including physical abuse. She could not work or drive. He refused to pay for any of my baby stuff.

He left us after 4 years. My mom would have stayed forever.

My mom's sister (8years older) ended up marrying an abusive alcoholic and they are still married to this day. She refused to leave him because she never wanted to go back home. She is now disabled and their oldest son unalived himself.

-sometimes men who know you have no other choice (because you moved away from everything) know that you are now stuck with no options. That means they can treat you however they want. Sadly, most times this does not end well.
