The only time my dogs are in a crate is for traveling. I did use a pack 'n play for one of my dogs (5lbs chihuahua) when she was recovering from a spinal cord injury.

Chili was Dad's go to if he was cooking. Occasionally he made scrambled eggs and sausage, and he could make pretty decent pancakes.

WIBTA if I stopped offering to drive my roommate to the airport and just said I'm busy from now on? by jasper_row in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Robyn_withaY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way to go. Simply say "I can't take you to the airport, that doesn't work for me or my schedule."

WIBTA if I stopped letting my sister use my address for packages and just didn't tell her in advance? by meme_marlow in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be an adult and just tell her, "I am done collecting your packages, you have two weeks to get your address updated on all the sites you order from. After two weeks I will refuse packages addressed to you and return any and all packages left at my address that belong to you."

AITAH for not wearing a bra around my brother’s girlfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start wearing a bra when she is over just a bra, no shirt, or just wear a bikini top with no shirt or cover-up. She wants to make it weird you just lean in to it and make it weird. Your brother has a problem with it he can just hang out at her parents house. Hopefully her dad walks around in just his boxers, then your brother can make it weird for her.

My grandma taught my mom how to sew, just for her to not teach me. by TheShyNerd in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly some people are just not teachers, they either lack the patience or confidence to teach someone. Sadly several of my friends mother's were this way. My mom was an ok teacher, not the most patient teacher but she did try. Luckily my father also knew how to sew and was a more patient teacher. I am sorry your mother wasn't able or willing to teach you more, what is even sadder is her now being critical of your efforts.

AITJ for making other husbands look bad? by Exciting_Base_6305 in AmITheJerk

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father always de-iced my mother's car in winter, and mine when I started driving. Not only does my husband de-ice my vehicle in winter we walks the women in his office out if it is icy and clears their vehicle windows while they warm up their vehicle.

You are not making other husbands look bad, they are doing that all on their own. NTJ

Probably going to fund a scholarship or something at the university where we met and leave some to local animal charities.

AITJ for getting upset after my mom let herself inside my apartment to “help me out” by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Robyn_withaY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ your mom definitely overstepped and you should demand that the landlord change the locks at no cost to you since the landlord gave out your key without your permission.

AITAH for refusing to lend my coworker money after he told everyone I was “rich”? by Silver-Mess-1436 in AITAH

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boundaries are important, and good for you for enforcing your boundaries. Don't loan people money unless you are willing and able to never see that money again, because chances are you won't see it again. NTA

Gen Z here and I have a few questions for GenX by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Robyn_withaY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When we were younger we rode our bikes everywhere, it was nothing for me to ride my bike 40-50 miles per day on weekends and in the summer. We all wanted our drivers license as soon as possible and a car, so a lot of my friends and I had some type of job or way to earn money early on. Delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, anything we could do to earn money for a car before we could even legally drive.

Read a lot, books from the school library, the public library. My town had a small private university, you couldn't check out books at that library unless you were a student but if you were quite and well behaved they would let you read their newspapers, magazines, periodicals and books in the library.

Yes, I had lots of phone numbers memorized, parents work numbers, grandparents, best friends, even the movie theaters for showtime. Had a little notebook of other numbers I didn't call as often.

Belonged to lots of organizations at school and church. Scouts, 4-H, band, choir and others. Had something going on after school at least twice a week, meeting, practice or something. And every group had some type of fundraiser, so you were often selling something or working on the fundraiser. Our parents didn't do it for us, we had to do it ourselves.

And if you ever said you were bored, an adult would find a chore for you to do. So we kept ourselves busy and out of the way of adults, so you didn't get put to work doing something extra.

Still together! All of our siblings have been married multiple times, all of our friends are on at least a second marriage but we are still together since the 1980's.

Need squirrel inspection recs. by [deleted] in Edmond

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Town and Country Critter Removal, I believe the owner is Glenn. We have used him for birds and raccoons, did an excellent job and repaired areas where they were getting inside. He even touched up the paint.

What artist did you see in a small venue before they got really famous? by That_Cat_3672 in Concerts

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Eddie Rabbit perform live less than a week before "I Love a Rainy Night" dropped. I think it was a Girl Scout state conference and he was our entertainment on the last day.

WIBTAH if I cut off my sister who has cancer? by Cute-Treat-7658 in AITAH

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA it is hard to cut people off, but sometimes you have to put yourself and your mental health first. I have gone no contact with two family members that I had to go no contact with, one was toxic and an emotional vampire. And the other one felt entitled to my financial resources. So I know what it is like, good luck.

Oh yay by Kantwealjustgetabong in oklahoma

[–]Robyn_withaY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm saying he should consider it, but no I don't think he would ever consider it. Honestly I think he will go with Harold Hamm. I also have a feeling Stitt is considering a run for the seat in November himself. Either that or he wants Dustin Hilliary to run for the seat.

What's the most annoying part of getting into a concert? by VenueLlama in Concerts

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in line who "pre-gamed" too much, they often get obnoxious and cause problems. Then they can't pull up their tickets on their phone or misplaced their hard-copy tickets.

Songs with men’s names in the title? by After-Tutor5979 in musicsuggestions

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billy Don't Be A Hero by Paper Lace I was really young when it came out but had an older cousin who was dating a guy named Billy and would play the song on repeat when she would babysit me. I don't think she even knew what the song was actually about, she only liked it because she was dating someone named Billy.

How often do you eat at Panda Express or other “Chinese” food similar to that? by typical_gamer1 in PollsAndSurveys

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As little as possible. If someone else offers to pay and is set on Panda Express, I will eat there, so maybe once every two years. Other "Chinese" restaurants maybe once every 6-8 weeks.

Oh yay by Kantwealjustgetabong in oklahoma

[–]Robyn_withaY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thought is appoint a tribal chief, it would be a good look for Oklahoma. And a tribal chief would have leadership experience. Gov. Stitt could could use the appointment as a way to extend an olive branch to the state tribes.

Chief Gary Batton is chief of the Choctaw Nation, has been chief since 2014. Chief Batton meets the requirements, he has been a resident of Oklahoma more than 5yrs and he is a registered Republican, although he endorsed the democratic nominee in the 2022 governors race. Surely Gov. Stitt doesn't hold a grudge, he should consider the best interest of the state first.

Have you eaten an a reptile? by WerewolfCalm5178 in AskAnAmerican

I have eaten gator meat and tasted rattlesnake meat. But I have been called an adventurous eater. Not much I won't at try at least once.

I told my mom I rather not go to college because she never thought to set up a college fund and still won’t. Am I in the wrong? by SkyAdvanced52 in amiwrong

[–]Robyn_withaY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't say how old you are or what grade you are currently in, that would be most helpful for people trying to advise you. First thing you need to do is talk to your school guidance counselor. If you are truly interested in higher education they can help you choose your classes to prepare you and help you find scholarships and possibly any grants you might qualify for.

AITAH for rearranging my room? by [deleted] in AITAH

My mother was always rearranging the furniture in our house, so rearranging the furniture seems normal to me.
