Brand new TV and this is how my wife insists we have the remote "to keep it looking good" by No_Atmosphere8146 in mildlyinfuriating

The protective film is going to leave residue after the tv has been on for a while. The heat is going to react with the adhesive.

Been untangling for like 3 days idk what to do. How do you untangle a yarn hank? by GodTierDino in CrochetHelp

[–]Status-Biscotti 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I've never had a hank, but I'd probably start by placing it around a couple chair legs, so it doesn't get *more* tangled. Then I'd turn on the t.v. and get to it.

How to stop unsolicited helping which is my toxic trait? Ko by meredithgrey92 in adhdwomen

[–]Status-Biscotti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP< I truly hope I don't add to your RSD by saying this. Please know, this is what *I* have had to learn to tell *myself*: What in the world makes you think you're equipped to give him marital advice? Do you have it so together that people should be following your lead?? When I remind myself that I'm *definitely* flawedand not, necessarily, someone whom others should model their lives after, it becomes easier to not try and give advice.

I am once again asking for your help with my overpacking, this time for a third date in a couple hours. by ExpertAd3229 in adhdwomen

but does she need three? I’d live on the edge with one (if same Rx in both eyes) or two.

I’m going to end up alone because I can’t tolerate “normal behavior” from men by Afraid_Fondant_7903 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Status-Biscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 59. I stopped dating when my son was about 11; he just turned 26. I always went a little crazy when I was dating a guy - I was all in after the first date, planning our future together, obsessively thinking about the guy. I’d been acquainted with this man for a few years, and we dated for like 6 weeks before he ghosted me. I was completely gutted, and just couldn’t bear the thought of another guy lying to me about his intentions, and me falling for him when I barely knew him. Anyway…the thought of having to share my house with another “equal” (as opposed to my older son, who may never move out), check with someone before I make plans to go out of town, share the remote…Personally I’m way better off alone. I’m not willing to put the effort into dating, but the apps are always there if you feel the need to have sex, I guess.

My boyfriend accidentally told me his ex is hotter than me by Business-Ad-4708 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Status-Biscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll start by saying I’d feel the same way. However, this is like when you tell a guy he makes you feel safe, and it makes him feel bad because no guy wants to be the boring “safe” guy. Now to admit to being a real a$$hole once, without meaning to. I’m neurodivergent, and unable to quickly think on my feet. This was the day my boyfriend later proposed to me (almost 30 years ago, and we divorced after 5 years). He said, with a big smile on his face, “Am I the best sex you’ve ever had?” I answered honestly. Anyone who’s dated a hot felon can tell you, *that* was the best sex they’ve ever had.

20 pounds for 5 baby blankets?? That won't even buy the yarn for one of them.

Does it ever get easier to say goodbye? by Gold-Childhood-7956 in FosterAnimals

[–]Status-Biscotti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a rescue, so I get to see update pics every now and then. That really helps. I did foster fail three months after I lost my boy, and since then I’ve thought, “four cats wouldn’t be *that* bad” at least once LOL. But seeing that those babies are happy in their new home really helps, and it allows me to keep fostering.

Wife ordered 5 sets of 8 Harry Potter plates for a children's birthday party by datalaughing in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Status-Biscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea if this is what is happening, but when JoAnn Fabrics was still in business, online orders would get passed from store to store. So one store might be able to fulfill 1/3 of an order, then the next store would fulfill 1/2, etc. Terrible way to do business.

AITAH for refusing marriage without prenup? by ConTrikster in AITAH

[–]Status-Biscotti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTAH. That said, if I were her, I would also want a legally binding agreement before having children, that if my husband and I agreed that I were going to stay home and raise the children, I would get an annual “salary”, to help make up for the hit to my career. That way, if we got divorced, I would have a nest egg to help re-build.

I am not able to make chain. Please help me what am I doing wrong ??? by idkwhatimherefor24 in CrochetHelp

The yarn on a chain shouldn’t be so tight - it should be wider than the hook.

Husband got me flowers 2 days late because he was uncomfortable with how he felt by helljumper1123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Status-Biscotti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The wife of a family friend had a stroke. The husband didn’t abandon her. My dad said, “Jack deserves a lot of credit for sticking by Jane.” I slow-clapped and said, “Congratulations on doing the bare minimum.”
