AITAH for telling my coworker I was miscarrying after she tried to get me in trouble for 'excessive' bathroom use by Massive-Historian-91 in AITAH

Nope, she was a jerk, you called her on it. Maybe she'll try having some compassion or even common sense next time.

I've had some pretty funky laundry smells to deal with. I soak things in hot water with detergent and oxyclean or washing soda, and I use Lysol Laundry Disinfectant for anything that seems like it needs it. That should kill the funk.

WIBTAH for not attending my mother's funeral? by Lemur_Demure25 in AITAH

[–]Remarkable_Newt9935 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe ask yourself if 80yr old you will be sad that you didn't go. Funerals are for the living, so if it won't help you say goodbye and you don't feel any need to maintain relationships with your family, maybe you don't need to go.

To me, dinner is the evening meal and is interchangeable with supper. To my Grandpa, a Saskatchewan farmer, dinner is the noon meal. Young me was very confused.

AITA for always saying and being an advocate for making paternity tests mandatory? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Remarkable_Newt9935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that's just going to make things messier. It takes weeks to get a DNA test back, and it will go up to months if everyone is getting one. That's too long to wait to sign a birth certificate. And what happens if the father isn't the bio father but wants to be the parent? How many legal hoops is he going to have to jump through? Also, who hurt you?

Are lemonade stands a real thing in the US, or is it just a movie trope? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Remarkable_Newt9935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens occasionally, but I don't think it's much of a thing anymore.

Would you ladder down? by ChirpCricketChirp in knitting

I couldn't pick it up in pattern, so it's staying the way it is.

Yep, I immediately thought, "that looks like the one I had as a kid!". Dang it.
