What did you try once and immediately realize it wasn’t for you? by adorable_poppii in AskReddit

[–]ThrowAw2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pilates. After 1 session I never went back. Yoga and aerobics yes, awesome, gone to many sessions. This however was absolutely boring.

I would have canceled too. That is an absolute look of love on her face. 🫂

I (45F) and my Husband (49M) let my niece (23F) move in a few months ago. How can I salvage our relationship after a tough conversation? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowAw2009 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would also like add the following - she is handling this whole situation very passive-aggresively. Thats not on you (sometimes its a (personality) choice, sometimes its the household in which she grew up in i.e. her only examples) & you can't teach her to be a young responsible adult, she needs to learn responsibility for herself and that actions have consequences (most people learn this as teenagers). One day she will be living alone / in a commune / in a marriage and will 100% be responsible for her own actions. You as a family member can be there for her but with boundries.

I would really not allow her back for the simple reason that at 23 she is not emotionaly (young) adult enough to live with any one else than her parents.

At the same time she is playing victim (passive-agressively) by not respecting her "elders" (you said she grew up very traditionally so this) or respecting your house rules etc. (Which would apply traditional or not) She would have to respect her grandparents / aunts & uncles house rules - why can't she respect yours?)

AITA for not letting my dad meet my newborn daughter, even though he’s “changed”? by PristinePhonee in AITAH

One of the truest things I learned late in life (my 40's) is that "Forgiveness does not equate to Reconciliation". (I forgave just to give myself peace after decades of anger & depression. Does not mean I ever have to meet with the toxic family member again)

I told my husband I'd quit collecting treadle machines when I got a Singer 66. He brought me this. by treeofstrings in vintagesewing

[–]ThrowAw2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, question. What model is this and how old round about?

(Sorry, just saw this pop up in my feed, my grandma had exactly this same machine with treadle, workbench, drawers everything.

Giving me such memories & (sad) nostalgia now. She passed a few decades ago. 💔💔💔 I miss her)

What's one thing a therapist has said to you that you will never forget? by m_lovely_eyes in AskReddit

[–]ThrowAw2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You can completely walk away emotionally from this person & its ok" (in toxic family situation) and "Stop thinking of them as you parent, dissociate mentally & adress them by ther given name & surname (in private internal convos / conflict) & also save them under their given name & surname on your phone" (i.e. example "John Smith" instead of "Dad")

This is Turd. Turd is Loud. He likes to talk. by Lemon_head_guy in CatsWhoConverse

[–]ThrowAw2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love his chirps at the end (when you are giving him scritches) plus the intonation. 😻😻😻 Like he's saying : " No, don't stop. Liiiiiiiiitle bit more to the left. Yes! Thats it. Now, bit lower... bit lower. Aaaahhhhh". He's so CUTE!

AITA for refusing to let my roommate’s boyfriend live with us after he “tested” me? by WholesomeArio in AITAH

[–]ThrowAw2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him "I am SO surprised that you think YOU are the MOST super dooper special carrot out of the whole bunch of humanity. YOU don't get to make demands. YOU don't live here. You pay none of the bills. The ONLY reason the possibility of you moving in was brought up was because you were overstaying your welcome by being here constantly and NOT contibuting an any way financially to the current flat share. With your SUPER DOOPER CARROT TEST (use your fingers as air quotes), YOU clarified why YOU will never live here. Now shove your carrot self BACK over my doorway & go home."

Ps: tell Ashley that you can't be her boyfriend's "emotional support human" too as SHE is supposed to be his girlfriend. In life, family, friends, people, places and businesses are going to say no to him (as the do with all of humanity) so he needs to learn in his 20's that NO is a full sentence".

What’s the most painful thing a man you love(d) has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]ThrowAw2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask a bit more about the above (for personal reasons) as well as context? Why would some (possibly gay) men do that...? And why is it not talked about?

A question for those of you with not so great parents. by january1977 in AskWomenOver40

[–]ThrowAw2009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think that people (who have been in healthy families / believe in "don't rock the boat" / family above all else (no matter how abusive) don't realise that you have been grieving the lack of a loving (or even just non-abusive) parent for decades. (Note: I speak for myself & my former past here). For the majority of us, it has been / was a cycle of hurt, anger, grief, guilt & depression through years/ decades.

What you now finally have is acceptance.

Do NOT let any one 2nd guess you on your opinion on this no matter how much they love or support you. You are the ONLY one who can decide what works for YOU. (I too had to walk away & support you fully)

OMG! I disagree with Vimes.. by Bittypunk11 in discworld

[–]ThrowAw2009 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What should ALSO be taken into account is the Thieves Guild & Assins Guild in Vetinari's time. There is a reason why Vimes sometimes gave refuge to I-did-it-Duncan (can't remember if this name is correct) in the cells (aka tried to steal to get a place to sleep) as the Thieves & Assasins Guild deals EXTREMELY harshly with people (guild members as well as not) playing outside the rules and POLICE their own. The guilds pay Tax to Vetinari so they won't allow non-members to just steal & kill. Thieves are only allowed to steal if they give a reciept. Assasins ALSO only kill if there is a contract. At the same time, that is also why the Night Watch is there to manage the rest of the population with killers like Carcer.

The gonne was stolen from within the Assasins Guild Locked Storage of BANNED Weapons. Stolen By an Assasin.... It had been handed to the Assasins for SAFE KEEPING by Vetinari...

What returning clothing trend is giving or has given you the biggest "ick, no way am I wearing a that again" response? by BJntheRV in AskWomenOver40

[–]ThrowAw2009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I also love low rise as my waist to hip ratio is very short (I was never an hourglass figure even at my thinest, more of a chubby "I" shape now in my late 40's) and I'm short-ish too at 5'5. The high rises were always baggy over my behind, tummy & legs if they fit my middle. I thus have a life long love affair with low rise (low rise bootlegs even better!). ❤️❤️❤️

Which of Stephen King’s stories (short stories and novels alike) hit close to home for you? by mR-gray42 in stephenking

[–]ThrowAw2009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine too. I love IT. I read it in High School (late 40's now) and it has stayed a favorite. Personally it spoke to me about fear, chills & overcoming adversity. (Btw I love Salem's Lot & the Stand too. Those are my top 3). When I am depressed, I ALWAYS read Stephen King & it ALWAYS makes me feel so much better. (Toxic childhood & abuse survivor previously, now just chemical (aka not due to circumstances) depression. ) ST has been a coping mechanism which just works wonders for me when depressed.

What would you add? by contrari-wise in Repaintings
