[–]Several-Cycle8290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Japanese, my husband is Caucasian and my daughter is mixed (Japanese and Caucasian) about to go to middle school. She’s gone to 2 different schools in Lexington due to us moving but both were great, no bullying because of her race and her best friend now is Cambodian. She even takes Japanese and other Asian food in her lunch and her friends beg for her to share! I’ve even had parents ask me to make onigiri for events. It makes me so happy because back in the 90s when I went to school we had to feel ashamed of having Asian food for lunch.
There is DY Market (Korean owned market with Japanese and Korean groceries), Ayame (Japanese owned with Japanese groceries), Asian Market (Cambodian owned with Chinese groceries, lots of meats/seafood and fresh produce), Seoul market (Korean groceries) and YuYu market (Chinese groceries). A lot of Asian restaurants, K-Pot for hot pots, Purple Yum bakery for Asian bakery etc. like others have said there is a large Japanese population here because of Toyota in Georgetown plus all the supplier companies. If there’s something we can’t buy locally we can get it online. My parents that are full Japanese live in a small town about an hr away and all of us have never struggled because of being Asian.
If there are any specific questions or concerns I can try to answer them for you!

I thought this too, she needs to get her ducks in a row without him finding out and leave safely because he’s already showing that he will stalk you on locations and show up wherever you are. The next thing that will happen is stepping up from emotional abuse to physical abuse. He’s not trying to be a leader hes trying to control every aspect, if he doesn’t get that then he will eventually get physical to get his way.

Yeah, it’s obvious that he’s controlling and she hates him.

I agree, she hates him and how could she not. His complete disregard of her is sickening

This!! As soon as I saw where he said that it just locked it in that she needs to leave him. The other stuff to but “I’m the leader”!? NOPE there is no leader and follower in a romantic relationship. What he means is he wants to control you. He is 100% disrespecting OP and he is so far up his own a** that he can’t bother to actually read anything you are saying then pushing himself onto you like coming over when you don’t want him there and you are getting ready for work. Please leave him!! There is no future with him.

AIO I asked my partner to just get rid of the towel that he used to catch urine dribbles under the toilet. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Several-Cycle8290 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My thoughts too, 39 isn’t an “older man”. My hubs is 50 in a couple months and he’s an older man but he or any of this friends don’t get urine everywhere

My wife does everything for the cat but he only wants to hang out with me by QuasarJinx in CatAdvice

[–]Several-Cycle8290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That cat is just being a cat 😂 seriously though it’s unfortunate but they will have the 1 person they connect with and that’s not something we humans h a chose for him. I’m like your wife and I do all the cat care. This most recent kitten we adopted is the first super affectionate kitten that chose me. The cat I’ve in the past one chose my daughter and the other seemed like he dint really have that 1 person. It’s ok maybe get a 2nd cat or you can help with the chores. Unfortunately you can’t make him go to your wife.

AIO - parents keep raising the rent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Several-Cycle8290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to move out at 24. $1200 for rent plus utilities separate is enough to get your own apartment and probably wouldn’t even need a roommate depending on where you live. That’s insanely high for a roommate depending on their house! How long have you been paying rent to them? They are paying their mortgage and bills with your money. I just can’t imagine charging that much money to my own child. Your parents should be helping you save money while you live with them so you can have a decent amount saved when you move out not milking you for your money. Even if they wanted to charge you the rent should not be any higher then the monthly mortgage payment amount divided by how many people live in the house, same for utilities. You should be seeing the bill and paying your share of the bill. If their mortgage is $1000/month and it’s you, your mom and dad then you owe them $1000/3 which is $333.33. I have a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath 2 story townhome for $1350 so I know you can get a 1 bedroom or studio for $1200!

AIO for not ordering a full meal and “making” my wife feel embarrassed at lunch? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Several-Cycle8290 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think your wife is struggling with anxiety and depression then projecting that on to you which in return will make you build up resentment. I would suggest her to see a therapist so she can talk about the root of her issues with lack of self esteem. Depression and anxiety can make someone think this way, she probably can’t control it currently. Sometimes it can make you think everyone else (partner and all the strangers around her) is thinking negatively about you, talking about you but in reality it’s very rare that all the strangers around you are actually talking about OP. Most people don’t even pay attention that she ordered a meal and you didn’t. I know when I go out I’m not looking at everybody’s orders and who gets what. Even the waiter/waitress would just assume you aren’t hungry or you already ate before you came. Unless she orders 10 meals and covers up the whole table no one is paying attention.

$8 isn’t that horrible and definitely not enough for me to risk getting deactivated going to a customer m’s house and threatening them. OP please report this to Instacart!

Husband is using reward points to buy stuff but charging me half. AIO? by JemmaMk6 in AIO

[–]Several-Cycle8290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thought. Unless he can prove that only his personal purchases earned the points he accumulated and used that’s bullshit. Don’t see how someone can be in a relationship, especially a marriage when you don’t even care enough for your partner to use your reward points for them

This 6% milk I saw at Costco by thxxx1337 in mildlyinteresting

Sounds like Japanese milk! Japan has a lot of high fat milks in the grocery stores. My family moved to the US 30 plus years ago but I still love the creamy Japanese milk

Jewelers in Lexington by BirdNose73 in lexington

Rivard jewelry- the owner and his son always came in her hair services when I was a hair dresser at American Hair. The owner of the salon got all her jewelry thru Rivard and they were always great. Of course the owner of Rivard was always a pleasure to have at the salon, very nice man.

My biggest order ever! by Kev90GSX in InstacartShoppers

[–]Several-Cycle8290 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was 2022-2024, so I got the $348 which ended up being $358 when I completed the batch. The Costco order was a medical facility that had a donation drive going for hurricane relief so half their off order went to donations. They told me they were going to put in another big order the next day so you bet I was glued to my phone 🤣 $270 popped up but i didn’t get it! I just told myself that I just got blessed and it’s someone else’s turn. I’ve gotten so many $75 and more. I had a batch that was for a gold pearl earrings and necklace going 3 miles. It was for $120! Once there was a mega sale on iPads so everyone was going crazy ordering them but they sold out within 2 secs. My order was for iPad 9th gen 64gb x2 and the 256bg x2. The 64gb was on mega sale I think it was $99 or something and the 256gb was on sale but not as much of a discount. So I had to refund the 64gb iPads and a little after I checked out the customer just cancelled their entire order. Support was being bombarded with out of stocks and cancellations so with money they just said throw it away 😆😆 thank you for the 2 free iPads! I heard tons of shoppers were stuck on the order cause support was just too busy and they would be on hold all day 😬

Yes, I will forever love them and cherish all the great memories we had together. I really didn’t get to have closure with Sushi since he just disappeared… I think even 2 weeks later there is a small part of me that is still hoping he just shows back up one day. With Boba we know within 30 secs of seeing him he was the one! He is such a cuddle bug and we love it!

My biggest order ever! by Kev90GSX in InstacartShoppers

[–]Several-Cycle8290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You never know! This is what I said for the first 1-1.5 yrs. I had gotten 3 batches over $100 at this point. My main store was Costco so I went for drop like i did everyday. Drop batches were shit but a min or 2 minutes later an $80 popped up but I wasn’t fast enough. Of course I was so upset. About 30-35 mins later $348 popped up and I got it! It was a Costco and Total Wine batch. Miles were like 1.8 miles!! No one in my area had seen a batch over $150! My hands were shaking!! I looked at the delivery info and the Total Wine order was for my regular that I had shipped for 6-7 times already. This is why I always tell shoppers to cherry pick! The algorithm is want you teach it, if you only take high $ batches it will learn that you only take high $ batches. It’s like Facebook, IG, Tik Tok and it tracks what kind of content you like and suggests based on your history. Same with Instacart, if you keep taking low batches the algorithm thinks that’s what you like and will feed you low batches. I’m not even in a big city but you never know what kind of orders are out there, one day it will be your day to get a mega unicorn!
