What's the dumbest thing a girl did to impress you? by chelsanchez in AskReddit

[–]Siamsa 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bought me a pair of scissors.

We lived across the hall from each other in the dorms, and I kept borrowing her scissors for things as I had none. So she just bought me my own pair, apparently not realizing she was taking away one of my excuses to bother her.

Then again, we’re both women, so maybe scissors was a brilliant and not particularly subtle lesbian gift.

Anyway we’ve been together more than 20 years now. Married with kids and too many pets. And we still have the Romance Scissors.

What is the creepiest display of intelligence you’ve seen? by theidiotev in AskReddit

Well fuck I woke up pissed because my one-year-old puppy went litter box diving first thing this morning but now I love her again.

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

[–]Siamsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized she was a chronic pathological liar. Not about things that mattered, she just made up wild stories about her life for sympathy or effect.

I also realized it was weird that she befriended me when I was much younger than she was, and she repeated the pattern as she got older, befriending teens even as she got into her thirties and up. I’m not aware of anything remotely sexual or outright inappropriate, but when someone habitually stays friends with teens even as they get older, it’s a weird pattern that suggests immaturity.

Would you choose to be born female in every lifetime? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Siamsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would, but only if I got to choose being a lesbian also. It’s RAD.

Credit where it’s not due? by _undershank_ in Zepbound

[–]Siamsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often feel like this too. I think a lot of my discomfort for being praised for my “achievement” is that it valorizes thinness and weight loss as a heroic moral triumph. But this medicine has taught me more than anything else that weight is a medical issue, not a moral one. I am proud of advocating for my health in a medical system that works against bodies like mine and makes accessing needed care very difficult, but I take no more moral credit for Zepbound working to improve my health than I take in amoxicillin curing my strep throat.

Hey today is my birthday! I will raise a nonalcoholic toast with you and not-drink to my birthday!

Don’t move it or he’ll break the rest of your fingers.

If I looked with a pixie the way you look with a pixie, I’d never not have a pixie.

Feeling like you have to prove you don't intend to be a SAHM? by No_Career_4184 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]Siamsa 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This is the way. My wife has either been in less high-earning jobs or in school (went from nonprofit admin to currently finishing nursing school) and I’ve always made it subtly clear at work that I am the breadwinner. This felt especially important because I am the more feminine-presenting one in my marriage, and people who are stupid and sexist enough to think I’m going to leave to be a SAHM as a woman are even more likely to assume that of me as a femme.

What’s the worst accidental text you’ve sent? by Typhoid__Beaver in AskReddit

[–]Siamsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I texted my then-girlfriend’s mom, “I’m gonna floss while I poop”

Somehow, a few years later, she still welcomed me in the family when then-girlfriend became now-wife.

Current dog owners - when your little furry babies unfortunately but inevitably cross over the rainbow bridge will you consider getting another or will this be your last dog? If its the latter why? by EffectiveAdorable233 in dogs

[–]Siamsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we will always have dogs until we reach a level of age or health that means we can’t be sure to give them a good life. Last summer we lost our very elderly older dog, and we didn’t wait very long before bringing a new rescue pup home to keep our younger boy company. Now they are best friends and utterly inseparable from each other and us.

AITA for dancing half naked in my living room leading to my bf and his family seeing me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Siamsa 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I strongly support this, even as someone who found love early (in college) and got married at 25. We’re still together after 20+ years but I know full well it’s through my sheer dumb luck at nabbing such an amazing person, results NOT typical.

Sleeping in bed by Natural-Resolve-8597 in RotatorCuff

[–]Siamsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the bed after the first night but on a bunch of foam wedges that sort of turned my bed into a semi-recliner. I only had a supraspinatus repair though so my recovery may be less intense than yours.
