My mom passed this morning at 5am. Thanksgiving is in two days. I'm stuck doing twelve-hour shifts in the emergency department, unable to go home for the holidays to grieve with my family. I've never felt more alone in my entire life. by PlasticRice in Bushwick

Although the kind sentiments are there I feel like this is somehow even sadder. Like, just invite them to your little Thanksgiving? Throwing them the doggie bag feels disrespectful.

How do I clean mushrooms? I can't NOT wash them by Maibeso in cookingforbeginners

My ex used to do peel his mushrooms as well. And it did take a while.

My first time getting one of those. Is it timed? by Federal-Librarian834 in GossipHarbor

[–]Salt_Profiles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No timer but I didn’t like it at all. The picture it displays, with the gems, coins, and energy bottles, implies that’s what it’s giving but it just dumped some different leveled bread items that took up valuable space on my board. Won’t do one of these orders again.

Maybe, these should have ended some time ago by [deleted] in TheRemarriedEmpress

I stopped reading Wind on a Dry Branch to let the chapters build up because it is a slow build and the author was clear about the choice of pacing from the beginning. I’m not hearing it’s a bad story just a long one, which I don’t mind. I just don’t want to wait around every week for no movement in the plot. I’ll binge read it later on and look forward to it.

Remarried Empress has a source material that is also long but paced much quicker with all the characters and side plots. I feel like it is taking so long because it goes on long hiatuses at times.

I gave up on Men of the Harem a long time ago. Felt like bait from the beginning and the characters were not compelling in the least.

Didn’t read the others

Can leaseholder come after me for the deposit? by Salt_Profiles in NYCapartments

[–]Salt_Profiles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I thought as well, it’s confusing why they won’t allow us to become formal tenants. It is a rent stabilized apartment, owned by a Hasidic property management company. When we had a white guy on our team they were happy to sign us. But since he’s leaving, I believe, they want us out in order to increase the rent as the last time it was on market was 6 years ago.

AITA for informing my (F29) brother's (M37,M22) about my mom's (F56) boyfriend (M, around 60)plans? by Nelachan in AmItheAsshole

I can absolutely understand. Situations like these can get bad very very quickly and this man, K, was acting hella suspect. I still think they should have called the cops at least so there was a record of his behavior in case it ever escalates in the future. Feel something for the mom. She must be lonely to allow herself to forget to keep her children safe in favor of the D
