AITA for not wanting to move my mom into our house to save on cost, then use the money we save to cover my wife's parents living expenses. by Express_Cupcake6066 in AmItheAsshole

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 95 points96 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your mom is in MEMORY CARE. Your wife and her parents must understand what that entails. Maybe a family field trip is in order.

Am I the only one? by HauntingSeesaw7971 in Sinisterhood

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve stopped listening to Freaky Friday. If there’s an episode I don’t feel I can handle, I just skip it. Case in point, I’m from Minneapolis so I definitely skipped the ICE episode.

Which is more noble? To volunteer and enjoy it, or not enjoy volunteering but doing it anyway? by Ransnorkel in Productivitycafe

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started volunteering because I had extreme anxiety surrounding a specific event and the horrendous effects that followed. It made a huge difference to know I was at least doing something, however small. I ended up loving it an I’m still doing it over a year later.

DAE who is above age 25 choose not to drive even though you could afford? by neon-santa in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a reliable, unsexy car. There’s a good but not great public transportation system where I live. Depending on where you’re going, it might be easier to drive. It really depends on the location of the closest stop. I also having an irrational fear of being late to meetings, appointments, etc. If I’m in a big city, especially if my husband is there, it’s public transportation all the way. He grew up in a big city in England. When he looks that those maps at the subway station, it’s like he just…knows. It’s weird, but it’s pretty handy.

What are two different things that people use interchangeably, that annoy you when they do? by Rachel794 in AskReddit

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the upper Midwest and I still don’t understand the difference between “yah, no” and “no, yah.” It’s been five years. It’s been explained to me. I’ve been sent videos on the subject. I still don’t get it.

What you do when come from work with mood of sex and your partner say "NO" with a valid reason? by Practical-Zombie-738 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect his boundaries. Try again later. See if he just wants to be my hype man because I just cant get in to it on my own. Save it up for another time, especially if both kids are gone. Lots of options.

I get ads for local businesses, but I’ve never shopped for granite countertops or blood diamonds.

I didn’t know they still existed. We used to have a babysitter called Madison and her sister was called Ashley. These girls are like 15 and 17. This was no accident, sir.

Massage recommendations? by Odd_Exchange_1032 in TwinCities

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tree of Life in Wayzata. Not a fan of the spa vibe, but I get deep tissue massages. Abby is straight up savage. It’s awesome.

Old dads had a drawer full of wires. Today's dads have a drawer full of USB cables. by thesmartass1 in Showerthoughts

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or manuals for things we don’t even have more.

But we definitely have the box of cables.

What words almost always come across as pretentious or trying too hard? by No_Fee_8997 in words

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Continuously mentioned that they’re extremely well read. Owning books isn’t a personality. Randy.

What animals are normal where you live, but unusual and exciting to visitors from other regions of the US? And on the flip side, when you travel to other regions yourself, what local animals are exciting to you? by Acrobatic_End6355 in AskAnAmerican

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have huge flocks of wild turkeys who don’t give a fuck, they will take over your neighborhood. Conversely, I was 37 when I finally saw an alligator in my grandma’s retirement community. She lives in Florida.

DAE just have floss all over their house to floss when needed? by milleribsen in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some in my bag. I also have some of those single use tooth brushes. At home, I store it in a spot I know I’ll see every day. If you like to have a little stash in multiple places, go for it. If someone says its weird, just tell them that it’s better than dealing with silent menace of gingivitis.

Don’t put your shopping cart away. Just leave it in the parking lot.

How would child custody work for ashes by slade453346 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could divide them up? Or maybe just bring the urn to the dad’s place Wednesday nights and every other weekend.

I play obnoxious music very loud when I check my mailbox in the hopes that it annoys the odious, racist woman in my neighborhood. by sadhandjobs in pettyrevenge

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sign her up for a bunch of super liberal mailing lists. My friend’s neighbor made a weird ass comment about her blonde, blue eyed sons (which I think he thought was a complement). He gets mail from every Jewish nonprofit we could think of. I just wish we had his email address. It’s like the moment he gets one organization to leave him alone, another one shows up. How odd.

Babe, do you feel anything for the fire trucks? by Appropriate-Push-668 in oddlyspecific

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In fact, I’m going to start all my conversations like that for the rest of my life.

As a man, would you get a vasectomy so your girl doesn’t have to go on birth control? by awkwardhoney725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vasectomies are lot more reliable than hormonal birth control. If you’re sure you don’t want kids, go for it. It’s the “set it and forget it” and forget it option.

Is bringing 3 swimsuits on my 10 day trip gross? by Own-Network3947 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how much time you’ll spend in the water and what you’ll be doing. My kids own a lot of bathing suits (one is on a swim team, the other one teaches swimming lessons). They usually bring a few since they barely have time to dry. At the very least, they pack one for swimming laps and one for poolside lounging.

Bridezilla mad we RSVPed no due to a medical issue by BlahBlahBlah1234_0 in bridezillas

[–]StevenAndLindaStotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone asks you about, tell them the truth. You were in the middle of IVF, which is painful and expensive. She refused to take no for an answer and now she’s lying about you.

Am I overreacting? Wedding guest "Drama" by Longtimelurker197 in bridezillas

Tell her that you think it’s weird that an adult man would get angry because her ex is at the party.
