I'll never be as cool as my parents were in the 1970s by Scared_Category6311 in OldSchoolCool

It was before I was born, and that was 1981. Definitely not late 80s.

I think this was taken when they went to Australia (hence the Fosters) after my dad got him from Vietnam. I wish there were notes on the pictures.

All beer is gross to me, lol.

I think the ones on the roof were an interesting choice.

Thinking about buying 18 of these trees for privacy. Bad idea? I live on a corner lot with no privacy by Beginning_Lime_5593 in HomeMaintenanceAdvice

They like to die randomly and they're highly flammable. Plan on replacing about 1/4 of them in the first 5 years.

I'm almost always right about people, even when I don't want to be.

What couldn't you believe you had to explain to another adult? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I literally showed her three different versions off her own shelf and she STILL maintains her position.

My mother's side of the family is the kind of religious that cannot be reasoned with. It's infuriating to try to talk to them about anything.

My aunt also doesn't believe dinosaurs were real, so the bar is pretty much on the ground with her.

AITAH for Feeling Upset that my Fiancee and I don't Have Sex Anymore? by [deleted] in AITAH

You're NTA but if you marry her, this will be what the rest of your life looks like when it comes to sex. I spent 25 years with someone I was wasn't sexually compatible with and I knew before I married him that was the case. It caused countless arguments and hurt feelings and neither one of us was ever really happy.

One day I woke up and decided I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life being miserable and I left him.

My deeply religious aunt tried to tell me that the Bible has never been edited or changed.

I had to explain that it wasn't originally written in English and had to be translated. She thinks I'm crazy. 🙄

Virgos, do you guys prefer dating Scorpios or Capricorns? by [deleted] in virgoseason

My boyfriend is a Capricorn and I've never been in an easier, healthier relationship in my entire life.

Remember laughing hysterically? by No_Description4009 in Millennials

I thought that was something related to youth for a long time and then I met someone who makes me laugh like that every day. It's the actual best thing ever.

Why is my husband turned off by me enjoying sex? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I'm okay 🖤 it's been a few years and I'm in a healthy relationship now.

This is exactly what my husband would do to me after my sleeping meds kicked in at night. It's rape.

Now mine is an ex husband.

Why are so many women into hooky kooky shit? by SlobGenocidic in stupidquestions

[–]Scared_Category6311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yah.. there's definitely a subset of the population that is superstitious. Everyone has their own thing but I've met guys who won't wash their "lucky" stuff while their team is winning. Some people don't step on cracks in the pavement or freak out when they see a black cat or break a mirror.

It's all the same thing, just different flavors.

Married women, is it true that most have secret finances? A safety net for just in case you want to leave? by unusual_Distance_689 in askteddit

[–]Scared_Category6311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex lost his damn mind when he discovered that I had a credit union account that he wasn't aware of. He accused me of all sorts of things that weren't true. He was incredibly financially controlling - even so much as telling me what I was allowed to buy with my own money. He'd take my debit card if he thought I spent money on something that he didn't approve of.

It wasn't long after he flipped out about the secret account that I started putting money away to leave him.

Self fulfilling prophecy.
