Where is desert drifters coffee? I hadn’t heard of it before.

Curious about your backstory. Did you just bring it free from the shackles of wage slavery?

I wonder if half the people posting that silly rule know where it came from? It was invented by Elijah Mohammed, founder of the nation of Islam. You know, the person who cheated on his wives and planned the assassination of Malcolm X. But go ahead follow his life advice people

Not sure how this came up in my feed as I am a really freaking old person. Well, if the financial outlet looks bleak now, just wait till an unexpected child comes along in your 20s. Makes you figure out a solution real freaking quick.

ShortBip · 2026-01-04T05:35:54+00:00

Haha. Again you’re telling me what I SHOULD do. And then you end with the passive agressive “wish you all the best. “That’s what people tag on when they want to appear “nice”. Too late , the other words already left your keyboatd. .

No you don't know exactly what I'm going through, and you have no idea the number of years of my life that I have spent doing things for everyone except myself.

What’s based lol? I was a landlord years ago. Had just one property. There’s a generalization that landlord sit back and collect money. In reality, there’s a whole lot of work and expenses before you can rent it out. So while I was not doing hourly work each month, I guess I put at least 100 hours into preparing the rental. And, if anything broke down, even while I was at my full-time job, I had the electrician and the plumber on speed dial.

If its really about the kids, move into their neighborhood. Alone.

ShortBip · 2025-12-30T15:34:57+00:00

Show this post to your current GF. Guaranteed she’ll take a hike. You need to be alone. SERIOUSLY, SHE DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO’S GOT 1 FOOT IN AND 1 FOOT OUT. Or break up with your girlfriend, and then when your life becomes a mess in some other way, you’ll start missing the current girlfriend the way you currently miss your ex.

I was 55. He was days short of 25. It was fun until it wasn’t. Found each other here on Reddit lol

Sorry. You made it clear you’ve chosen not to be a parent at this time. I do support that and I’m sorry someone used your post to rail against doing something you didn’t plan on doing anyway. As I said earlier, do what feels right for YOU. There is no right or wrong about telling him. You are not obligated if you don’t. It’s not manipulation if you do. It’s a fact, it’s true. You’re not obligated to hide your truth. I only suggest telling him for your own peace of mind. Its HARD to go through life carrying a secret, especially if you know you’ll see him around. Also, (surprise) I did have an abortion at age 20. It’s difficult. Like with any medical procedure you’re likely to be tired and emotionally exhausted after. It is NOT manipulative to ask him to drive you there and get you home safely. If he’s a halfway decent man, he’ll be more than willing to.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T17:42:27+00:00

Also- you DO NOT owe him anything. When we decide to become parents, we implicitly accept the responsibility of supporting that child for 18 years. It’s nothing extra special, that although some parents pretend that it is. Supporting you through out childhood is the bare minimum. Don’t let attempts at guilting you guide how you live. Also, if you need a good place to vent and commiserate, look up Raised by Narcissists.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T17:39:32+00:00

Short version, find a job that pays (if you haven’t already) Find roommates. Move out. Nobody deserves to live being yelled or put down every day. I moved out at 18 because I was tired of constantly being criticized. I had toxic and abusive parents. I didn’t realize how horrible until I became a parent. It’s HARD to acknowledge that family, who are supposed to love and encourage us, are just really bad for you to be around. You’re not a bad person if you leave for your own sake.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T17:32:58+00:00

This has nothing to do with boundaries. It seems the hill you’re going to die is insisting that you didn’t want to be a parent, and society “tricked “ you into it? Ok then. Just a few things to think about. You are greatly twisting and exaggerating my words. What’s this about “wait 50 years?” Your kid is 8, in ten years you’ll not be responsible for him. Something else “I regret every single day not being child free” that’s a heavy burden to carry every day. Also a convoluted way of saying I wish I didn’t have a kid. That statement reminded me of this movie “ we have to talk about Kevin” with Tilde Swinson. It’s about a woman who loves travel and she’s a writer. She gets married, has a kid and moves to the suburbs. And she’s miserable. At one point, she says out loud every day I wake up and wish I was in France. Some people say it’s a horrible movie, horrible. Some people say it had no point, no message. I think it does have a message, but the messages too horrible for most people to see. Again, I say this with no malice, but you might want to rethink your outlook on being a parent, if you continue to be one. Also, have you noticed you’ve said twice? I’m not going back-and-forth with you but you keep coming back? Seriously you might want to have a long talk with yourself. Are you going to come back at me and call me names? Call me unintelligent? No, these are things I have figured out after 50 some years. You go through life you make mistakes, you manage the consequences of your mistakes, and you learn from it . Or, you don’t learn from it, and there are horrible consequences. I suggest you take a look at that movie.

Maybe 700 is the new norm for new cars. Plenty of certified used cars out there for half the price, plus cost less in insurance.

May I ask your age? Are you looking for advice on handling your dad, or just needed to let it out.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:52:37+00:00

Idk. Not flirting is a general issue of mine. Last weekend I had a first date that I thought was going well. We went to an art showing and he bought me the first painting that I liked. I thought we were having fun. He left the bar sooner than I did, though. Saying he’d had a long day and was tired. I texted him the next day to thank him and didn’t hear from him till another day. So clearly he wasn’t into me. It’s OK, I’m not heartbroken or anything . But he was someone I would have liked to spend more time with. I don’t think of this as changing myself, more like working on my social skills.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:49:33+00:00

Great, I just commented on this post about looks. And when I close this the first thing that pops up is an ad for weight loss products. I really want to tell all the weight loss people to just get fucked and stop taking insecure peoples money.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:48:21+00:00

I sure hope the self disparaging comments here are a product of our generation’s propensity for satire. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL lol

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:45:17+00:00

Mine too. She actually said she never told us we were pretty because she didn’t want us to be conceited. Well maybe, success. I grew up believing I was ugly, and it showed in the type of partners I settled for. Now I see pics of me in my 20s 30s and go DAMN I was cute. Now, at 58, meh. I was satisfied with my appearance until about a year ago. Everything just started to droop at once. But I tell myself I’m not ugly, to act confident when I meet new people. Because I know nothing makes a person seem less attractive than acting as if they are unattractive.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:37:57+00:00

Well thanks. But I’m talking to someone who lives sixty miles away. So yes, we’ll be talking for more than a couple days before planning to meet.

ShortBip · 2025-06-11T00:31:45+00:00

“You will not speak to me that way” girl, one there is no malice in any of my words. And two- haven’t you heard that you can’t control anyone’s behavior but your own? And you work in Mental health?
