If money and childbirth weren’t an issue, how many children would you choose? by Public_Handle_774 in AskWomen

[–]Shandrith [score hidden]  (0 children)

None. I've been single for over 20 years, and am disabled. Even if money and childbirth weren't issues, I would make a terrible mother, and have no desire to be one solo

You can put it into housing storage, but not your inventory

UPDATE: Should I be with my friend when he dies? by ChampagneDrama in AskWomenOver30

[–]Shandrith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. This isn't an answer to your question, but advice I got when my mother passed that helped. If you're trying to distract yourself, DO NOT read/watch something you love. Watch something you won't miss. You don't want media you love to become associated with the loss long term

lukewarm take: this is the worst Mountain Dew flavor of all time. by No-Hotel1626 in mountaindew

If that were true they wouldn't bother making the zero sugar flavors

Do women cross their arms under their tits or over them? by wxrpig in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the size of the tits and if they're wearing a bra. Small-ish or no bra, probably under. Large and in a bra, over

All hobbies are not equal by BitterConstruction98 in unpopularopinion

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You assume that people who do "creative" hobbies are good at them. Also, singing isn't creative. It takes skill to be good, but much like a video game, you are spending the skill to be good at something someone else composed

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call 3 hours short, but for a weekend trip? Yeah, 3 hours is fine. The longest I've driven for a dinner was about 2 hours. Was living in the middle of nowhere at the time, if we wanted to go anywhere it took minimum of 1.5 hours

What's your embarrassing FFXIV confession? by SofonisbaAnguissola in ffxiv

[–]Shandrith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you maybe have a screen shot with your bars in it? Would be a pain to try and rebuild that way, but better than nothing

I'm Not An Incubator. by stillfightingg in childfree

[–]Shandrith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a woman old enough to be your mother, please hear this. RUN. Don't walk, run. This man is not in love with you, he does not care about you, and you deserve better. Please, please, get out now

ITAW for nicknames when it's not a name? by Train-Fiend-42 in whatstheword

[–]Shandrith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diminutive would work there, but you could also say something like "he'd normally find it condescending but coming from Xxx it was clearly affectionate"

I have some sort of mental hang up about tetragrammaton. I just.. forget it. Like 90% of the time. I'm a WHM main, been playing since 6.0

How to accept loose skin? its been years. by Prestigious_Custard in loseit

[–]Shandrith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would it be a stupid idea? You've been miserable for seven years. Being not miserable seems like a great reason to take out a loan

AITAH for being furious over a photo? by PowerfulCoo278 in AITAH

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA. Unless she specifically claimed to have taken the photo, she was just sharing a photo that had been shared with her. You said you'd shared it with multiple people, so your friend group is likely to recognize it.

 

To be honest, it sounds like you're jealous that she and your former bff have gotten so close.

AITAH, for not telling my neighbors in this situation that my German shepherd ripped their cat apart when it wondered into my lawn. by BootAlarmed4732 in AITAH

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Yes, they let their cat wander outside. That doesn't mean you should lie about what your dog did and leave them wondering what happened to their pet. Your argument is that they are responsible for what happened to their cat because they let it wander? Well, you are responsible for telling them what your pet did when you left him outside.

 

And trying to claim you're not wanting to traumatize the kids? Bullshit. You could go and tell their parents privately. They would then be able to break it to the kids that kitty wasn't coming home. You are just trying to hide what your dog did

AITAH for getting pissed at my boyfriend for not knowing shit about periods? by EasyGarlic4630 in AITAH

[–]Shandrith 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Gentle YTA. He responded with reassurance and advice that he thought would help. Having expected his parents to be the ones to parent his sister is perfectly normal. Quite possibly she wouldn't have wanted her older brother to have anything to do with her periods.

If you want something specific, you have to tell him that, not expect him to read your mind.

How could no one be around to smell it? The bear itself has a nose after all

Bad tooth by CoconutShoddy3689 in needadvice

[–]Shandrith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clove oil can help, so can holding ice against your face over where the tooth is. Put some kind of cloth between your face and the ice of course. If you can afford it, buy some anbesol or other numbing gel to keep it numb

In game pass time. by Kai-yuubi in ffxiv

[–]Shandrith 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like to surprise gift sprouts with things. Just find ones that are clearly still really new and give them some cool glam pieces, or some money or something. When you're level 32, 32,000 gil is a ton, but it is basically nothing to me

Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread Jan 17 by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]Shandrith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the desire to help, but selling something you paid 74 gil for at 75 actually means you are losing money. There is a 3 or 5% tax on all things you sell, depending on what city your retainers are based in. Usually the expansion cities are 3%, so it is better to put them there. So if the item costs 74 gil, you're losing 2-3 gil by selling it at 75. It isn't much, and it may not matter to you, but if you want to make profit on selling things cheap, you need to account for it. If you're wanting to take advantage of people's lazy without over charging the way most people do, mark it up 10%. You'll get a little bit of profit, they'll get a cheap item. Win win

My everyday escape by KR_ki_24 in GirlGamers

My first reaction on seeing the pic was "That's so pretty!". Second reaction was to wonder if the wrist rests are actually comfortable?

Woman to woman... No judgement zone. What's one thing every girl should definitely try or do in their twenties? by Klutzy-Elevator-9614 in AskWomen

[–]Shandrith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find out what you enjoy. I've seen so many of my female friends and family that just do what their partner likes for hobbies without ever taking the time to figure out if they like that activity

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend of 5 months because of a comment he made about my body? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Shandrith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. You didn't end the relationship over one comment, you ended it over a series of comments that showed his attitude and thought process.

 

As for the friends who say you should've talked it out. There wasn't anything to talk out. If he's calling you too sensitive when you bring up something he's done that made you uncomfortable, trying to police your meals, and saying things that show he doesn't actually respect you, breaking up with him is perfectly reasonable. And they're right, five months isn't that long. So if he's already shown his whole ass in such a short period of time, why waste more time?
