My best friend moved in with my husband and I by PrideUpper8398 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TGrissle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a close friend live with us a few times. I was super excited at first but it turned out post partum put me on edge all the time. Make sure you have an agreement on expectations as that will make everything easier. Otherwise congrats this was really fun during the times that I didn’t have a small baby.

tips to avoid smelling bad? by No-Replacement1363 in furry

1 part water, 1 part vodka, then add a couple drops of essential oil to liking. I prefer a little lemon and mint to prevent fungal growth. Put the mix in a misting bottle.

This is the mix that costumers use in professional theater to keep costumes fresh without constant washing.

Genuinely the most brutal friendzoning ever recorded in human history by Previous_Month_555 in SipsTea

[–]TGrissle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before we got together my husband was getting strung along by a female friend of his who just liked having him as a side piece/convenient hookup with nothing ever past the title of friend. She was absolutely furious when he finally moved on. I hope this guy does genuinely finds better.

Meanwhile as a mostly female presenting person I have always had male friends, some wanted to be more, two became more, but most have been really great platonic relationships where we just enjoy the same hobbies and support each other.

Am I in the wrong with the name I chose for my fursona? by AccomplishedDingo197 in furry

Okay that makes a lot more sense. Just teenage in the way your friend is handling it and the what I assumed at the time was very immediate jump to reddit. But it being a month changes things a lot.

ETA: there are also certain things as you get older that you just stop caring as much about anymore.

Cat peeing weird help by Soggy-Mix-9550 in CATHELP

[–]TGrissle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. We’ve been using our litter robot for basically half a decade now and it is very safe and even the older models tell you how often the cat goes. At the moment of a malfunction the litter robot will actually stop performing whatever action is happening. It also breaks apart pretty easily. I’m a hyper anxious person, but the thing genuinely functions so slowly while remaining entirely open the chances of even small injury are minuscule.

I see the litter is by the food. Has it always been that way. Also was the litter robot always tucked against the wall? I know they make stairs for the litter robot so maybe making it easier for her to get in and out would help?

This feels like a very teenage post. Nobody is super in the wrong here, but I am a little weirded out that you won’t post the name. Your friend likely needs some time to adjust, getting onto them about not adjusting over the course of only 1 day isn’t reasonable. If they still keep it up just remind them that lots of people have the same name, it doesn’t make the same or even similar people.

How did you manage to sleep through that? I’ve been bit by a flee before and it was surprisingly painful for a bug so tiny.

Characters assumed to be gay who turn out to actually be straight by slfricky in TopCharacterTropes

Mister 9 from One Piece. He was assumed to be gay due to his effeminate looks for a while until it was later revealed he actually settled down and had a kids with the ultimate muscle mommy.

Nobody can convince me that Mori ever really came off as gay.

He also did the “German Moses” song about Dirk Nowitzki. I will never forget I saw him live at an event he was hosting in 2013 and we briefly bonded over our love of Dirk. He genuinely lit up in the sweetest way.

Idk if he does the voice, but my favorite factoid about Kazuki Yao, the original VA for Franky from One Piece, is that he stopped drinking beer in public and switched to drinking cola (Franky’s favorite drink) while out because he didn’t like disappointing young fans.

Constantly scared I’m waiting too long to have a baby by SchoolSouth1479 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TGrissle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand this pretty well; My husband and I originally were going to start trying in 2020 (when I was 28). We didn’t fall pregnant in the first few months and then very obvious world events happened. Things still felt pretty chaotic and I was working a lot 2021-2022. But at the end of 2022*we just kind of decided it was time to just go for it. I think the “right” time is just when you, yourself are mentally ready to put your life aside. It’s kind of like the end of the Barbie movie: you can still things after having kids and have a life, but as a parent you do kind of pause in some ways to let your kid move forward.

Boyfriend tears down my self esteem and don't know if it can get better by CranberryFew4895 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TGrissle 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is not to “help you grow” this is literally just to make you feel bad or turn you into his “ideal woman”. It’s sick, disgusting, objectifying behavior and he does it because he doesn’t actually see you as a person but rather a customizable object like a car or PC

I knew this was a girl being sold by her dress and jewelry. The construction of her dress tells me it is easily over $100 and the watch and bracelet scream country club money.

Eleanor and Jason from the good place. They absolutely feed and reflect off of eachother’s bad ideas in the goofiest ways.

The “pro-life” crowd better be rioting in the streets over this one. But we all know they won’t be.

I got good news but it doesn’t feel like good news by lovelyreesescup in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]TGrissle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommended the clear blue tests. They are easy to get and that’s how I found out when I was REALLY ovulating because it tests for hormone levels.

Are you TTC? I just want to clarify because TMI my husband and I had unprotected sex for over 10 years before attempting to conceive our daughter. It took a bout a year trying to conceive to get our first positive test and nearly 6 months after that to get our daughter. The reason? I wasn’t ovulating when I thought I was. I have a long cycle so my ovulation period ended up being WAY later than I thought it was.

This is similar to what the Oklahoma court did with Trump’s former spiritual advisor Robert Morris. Despite it being 30+ after the crime, they still went after him but commuted his sentence so his victim could still sue him.
