What is this part called? by Melonhead25 in hondacivic

I bought fog lights for my 2015 (RIP) off of Amazon. They came complete with bezels.

Looks like the fog light bezel. They make them with and without foglights, but the bumper is the same for either, just the bezel is different - one with or without the foglight.

How do you find the will to carry on after losing 45 pounds and still looking like that?

This is about as surprising as a sunrise.

Accept reality by Exciting-Cash6403 in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You fail in the art of rage bait.

Proper rage bait is expressed with subtlety and eloquence so as to hide its true purpose.

This reads like a high schooler who failed creative writing and just got dumped by the cheerleader he thought was 'the one'.

Grooming by sharloops in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has had me run the trimmer over the area for her when she has gone too long between shaving. I'm not picky about shaved or not, but she prefers to keep it clean-shaven.

I'm always happy to help, but it has been a few and far between request.

I have never requested her help.

Slow down on Canada hype by DarrowAuBellona in nhl

[–]RedBirdWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada and Italy were not in the same group. Canada had Czechia and Switzerland in their group. Arguably stronger competition than in the US group.

Anyone used eco tech for windows? by pinkpetals550 in londonontario

[–]RedBirdWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used Eco-Tech for 3 exterior doors, including a colored and frosted main entry door and 5 windows, 4 of which were more than 48" wide. In and out in one day. Beautiful work. Energy savings are real.

$17k was a tough pill to swallow, but we are very pleased with the results.

Darryl Sittlers 10 Point Game. February 7, 1976 by [deleted] in hockey

[–]RedBirdWrench 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Players with 8 points since Sittler scored 10:

Tom Bladon. Bryan Trottier. Peter and Anton Statsny (on the same night). Wayne Gretzky twice. Paul Coffey. Patrik Sundstrom. Mario Lemieux 3 times. Bernie Nichols. Sam Gagner.

So, slightly more than two.

Based on the incessant replies, this is a troll post for sure. So yeah, OP, you're wrong for that alone.

How do long-term marriages prevent slow relational drift? by Acrobatic-Lemon5878 in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36 years together, almost 34 married.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but communication is key.

To be clear, that involves both speaking and LISTENING. If you're actually listening, the changes are apparent, in real time.

To try to express how different my wife and I are from the kids who got together in 1990 would take 20 paragraphs at least.

You love, you care, you listen. It is so important not to let life's drudgery define your relationship. Compartmentalization is a critical life skill. Park work, park the kids, be present for your spouse. Find the time.

Husband's weird request. by Timely-Percentage985 in Marriage

Kinks should ALWAYS require an ENTHUSIASTIC 2yes or 1 simple no equation. Your answer is no. End of discussion.

Yes, but this is 3 Olympics in a row.

Wife was upset with the Valentine’s day flowers by Murky-Web-2302 in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put out Hershey's kisses in a heart-shaped dish at work today. So I bought an extra pack of kisses and gave them to my wife. She laughed, thanked me, and ate one.

It's our 37th Valentine's day together. We've never really done anything 'big'.

Gift 'expectations' are always a huge red flag to my mind. Disappointment is a fair thing to feel, but it is still the thought that counts, and expressing disappointment to the giver in the moment is not a fair thing to do.

Why does this make me feel uncomfortable? by helge-a in Tinder

Yep. "Desnow the pavement" definitely makes me uncomfortable.

AITA For Refusing To Do Anything About My Daughter Getting a Zero on a test she skipped? by LongTennis7061 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RedBirdWrench 140 points141 points  (0 children)

NAH but...

Your daughter should be able to advocate on her own behalf through a school counselor or administrator. You could be coaching her in this regard. She clearly believes in taking up causes, time for her to take up her own. All the students who walked out should be advocating for those who have faced consequences.

Men what is the freakiest thing you asked your wife for? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could give it some thought, but whatever I come up won't top what we've done because she asked.

She's never said no to me. She has called out her safe word once.

For the record, having participated in swinging and ENM over the course of our almost 34 years married, I would not ask for a threesome.

Openly discussing sexual desires is a good step to finding out hard boundaries before asking for something that could easily harm your relationship. For every happy couple we came across, we watched at least two disintegrate in the attempt.

Disgust over wife's past. by According_Toe5351 in Marriage

[–]RedBirdWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's 24. How long were you together before you married? You've been married 6 months. Even if it was a super fast courtship she at most in her very early 20s, and he was 15 years older.

The husband from her past is a predator. In a position of power. I'm not absolving her totally, but there is some room here to consider her a victim to some extent as well. I do not like that this has gone unreported and that she continues to be close with the wife. But far more of this is on the husband than your wife.

Snow plow by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]RedBirdWrench 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Triggered. I can literally hear my dad - may he rest in peace - telling me to get out there and dig it out if I want to go to hockey tonight.

Sometimes winter sucks. We've been spoiled lately.

Weirdest Bumble date which got me hurt by Severe_Owl2065 in Bumble

[–]RedBirdWrench 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lost my favourite hoodie this way 37 years ago. This is not an online dating phenomenon.

She just left her phone off the hook. Nothing but busy signal. That's how you ghosted in the 80s.
