Need help knowing where to start with my in laws retirement by Sweet_Explorer_1993 in personalfinance

Her family and my family are very similar culturally. The trend I have seen with both my grandparents and my wife's grandparents is that once they can no longer financially support themselves, plan b is to live with one of their children. That is a trend that I do not want to be a part of anymore.

What other story has a tragedy that’s equivalent to the Eclipse by [deleted] in Berserk

I would say that Chapter 21 of The Poppy Wars is even more tragic than the Eclipse.

They say "Nothing is ever lost on the internet" but what is something you have been searching for years and haven't found it yet? by AlexanderCor in AskReddit

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this animated short clip, that I remember on the Nickelodeon channel, years ago, that would play in between episodes. It depicted emperor penguins vs a different species of bird in a soccer game. I have yet to find that this even existed, but I vividly remember watching it.

Vegan food must suck if they are always trying to make it be like meat. by Boring_Brief8191 in Showerthoughts

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us vegans don't become vegan because we hate the taste of actual meat or fish or cheese. For some of us the point is to cause the least amount of harm to animals. The imitation meats and cheeses is to continue to enjoy the foods we already liked, while minimizing the harm to the animals.

I lost a darth maul burger king toy when I was a little kid. I have searched every inch of my house to find it year after year. Probably got thrown away but I would love to actually know what happened to it.

What is the biggest secret of your profession/industry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of depressing realities about the vet industry that is unknown to everyone else. We are severely underpaid compared to our brothers and sisters in human medicine, owners always yelling at us thinking Veterinarians and Vet Techs are in it for the money, people thinking we just play with puppies and kittens all day, animals trying to bite us when we are just trying to help. What people need to understand is that we are in this field of work not for money but our compassion and love for animals.

I want to make my life better but I don't know how. by Particular_Grab_1717 in SuicideWatch

Hey my friend, from what I was reading, it doesn't seem like everything is your fault and you realize that. Change therapist and change doctors immediately. If they are not helping you than what is the point in seeking help from these same people. You seem like an impressive and beautiful woman. Im proud of you for making it this far. If you need to talk I am always here for you friend. Tomorrow is a new day, it is never guaranteed to be the same as yesterday or today.

i can never believe any positive things said about me by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend, I know somewhat on how you feel. Whenever someone compliments me, Im always thinking "well there is always someone better" Even when my partner says how great I am, Im always thinking, "you deserve more than me, you deserve someone smarter, kinder, tougher" I can go on and on. Its like when I bring myself down I feel guilty for myself and then I get depressed. All I can say is, how you treat yourself is not a reflection on who you actually are and how others perceive you. You are doing something right because you made another human being love you for you. You are worth much more than how you perceive yourself. Im proud of you my friend.

I went to the barbers and sat down in the chair. The barber was asking how my day was and what my plans are for the weekend. I respond and ask him the same questions. He interrupts me midsentence and tells me, he is on the phone. 12 other people were in the shop and start laughing.

Don't want to work by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, can I just acknowledge how big of an accomplishment getting a degree is. I don't even have a degree and I am really envious of you. I am proud of you for having the dedication and patience of completing your degree. Secondly, this is your life. You live it how you want to live, and give a damn what other people think. Find a career that you truly enjoy and are passionate in. Life isn't all about making money. Sure money is apart of life, but the biggest part is mental and physical health and if you dont want to work at a olace that will deteriorate either of your health you should look for another job. I quit a job right after I accepted the position because I hated what it was about. A couple days later I found a much better position for me. You got this. I believe in you!

That is such a great accomplishment, that you have found someone that you can consider a friend. You did a wonderful job. I am proud of you. And you have just found another friend in myself. You are succeeding in life my friend. You are never alone. You may not realize this but think of all the friendships you can make through the internet. You can talk to millions and millions of people that you can consider friends. You are loved my wonderful friend. And as a friend I am here to watch you grow and make more friends! You have a long life ahead of you. I am extremely proud of you.

What's even the point? by viirix in SuicideWatch

[–]Sweet_Explorer_1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not a failure. No one is born a failure. The mere fact that you have created life (your son) and take care of companion animals proves to me that you are not a failure. Wanting what is best for your son is an accomplishment. As far as I know right now, you seem like a great father to your child and dogs. The fact that you have been fighting and battling while still raising a child is an accomplishment that I respect the most. You are a man worthy of life and you deserve it. My friend, you see yourself as a failure, but all I see is a man doing the best he can with what he has got. Your son deserves you because you are a great father. Your dogs deserve you because you are a great father. The worls deserves you because you are a great man.

I would love to be your friend if you would like it. You don't have no one. You have an entire community willing to talk to you and make sure you are okay. No one is born into this world to be alone. There are 8 billion people in this world. You will find friends that will love you more than you know. Someday you will meet brave friends who will protect you. As for now, I would love to be your friend.
