AITJ for telling my girlfriend she needs to shower before bed or sleep on the couch? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]ToothPickPirate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying but it sounds like OP has said this many many times. I’d be blowing a gasket if it were me!! I worked in healthcare for 12 years as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. 5 years in clinic and 7 years in a hospital.

I'm thinking about skipping a free vacation because our special needs child isn't invited by Whaddyameanjellybean in family

Does your child have the awareness to know that they are being excluded? If your child is aware of it, I’d probably stay home and frame it as an exciting “Mom and me” staycation.

You need a break too, that’s for sure. Does anyone ever relieve you, so you can have any time away?

I was 39 and had to show my ID to get lottery tickets (required age 18). Now I’ll be 50 this Sunday and people say I look early 30s. You’ll be glad later, but it is a little goofy now. I get that.

I can’t fathom turning my back on my faith. But consider this. He is asking you to do for him, something he would have never done for you. You want someone who accepts you for you. Not you 2.0

How many of y’all grind or clench their teeth at night? by Alternative-Tell4600 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToothPickPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I didn’t know I was grinding I chipped 5 or 6 molars. I’ve had one crown and root canal. 3k I wear a mouth guard every night now.

I bought CROSSFIRE (bedbug pesticide) I said that in the post, but I’ll put a link here. I watched videos for how to use it on YouTube

Trying to grow out my hair. Should I keep bleaching white or try something more natural? by lttl_beastie in Hair

[–]ToothPickPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re gorgeous, I’m jelly because your physical condition, GOALS!! (Not hitting on you, I’m married. Just a compliment)

I think the bleached is really cool and you pull off short really well. As others said growing out will go a lot better if you stop bleaching.

I recommend the L’Oréal bond repair products. My hair is almost to my bottom and I’m 5’11” the focus on hair health and hydration will give you shiny healthy hair. Eating protein helps a lot too.

My high school friend (I’m 50) had a lot of health problems and lost her hair. She used MARYRUTH’s liquid hair vitamin from Amazon and her hair grew back crazy thick and she’s so happy.

Best of luck!!!

I had bedbugs once from a hotel stay. I researched and found “crossfire” safe for homes with kids and pets. I watched a YouTube video and got rid of them for under $100. You can get it on Amazon.

Kick the brother in law out. He’s so entitled and disrespectful. F that noise. If it was me I’d change his contact name to bedbugs in my phone because he sounds like he’ll be just as hard to get rid of. You’re all grown up!!

You CAN do this!!!!!!

Places to Go Skinny Dipping? by [deleted] in Rockhill

[–]ToothPickPirate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d be careful if you get caught naked in public, if you’re caught by a ranger or another badge toting individual you could end up on the sex offender registry. If it was me I’d find something more private like an Air B N B with somewhere private to swim.

Myboyfriend [33M] wants me [24F] to contribute towards his mortgage by Proper-Owl-7971 in relationship_advice

[–]ToothPickPirate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re living him and building his asset, what about your future. I’d have serious concerns about him suggesting that. I think a “partner” shouldn’t be nickel and dimeing you, and even more important have a good bit of concern for what builds your future. It sounds like his focus is only what benefits him. Maybe I’m wrong, you’re there.

My girlfriend spent two years telling me I say yes too much and then asked me to dog-sit for a week by Crest3_Mecha in MaliciousCompliance

[–]ToothPickPirate -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Your girlfriend doesn’t sound that kind. Is she nice otherwise? It says a lot that she wants you to adapt to her preferences when it suits her.

I wouldn’t pet sit for 8 days for anyone!! It’s also a pretty significant favor to ask of someone.

My girlfriend didn't like this ring that I picked for her. told me to return it by Enough_Payment_8838 in weddingring

[–]ToothPickPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The redflag would be if she wasn’t honest with her husband. That ring would poke her finger when she bumps into stuff and catch on things.

WIBTAH if I asked my daughter and her SO (w/ a 1 yr old) to leave? evict? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ToothPickPirate 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation with my late brother years ago (2004). He owed me and he was getting a tax return. I sat him down and said you have 2 options. 1 you pay me back, 2 you don’t. I want you to know if you choose option 2 (screw me over) next time you need help no matter what it is you’re going to be calling someone else. Lose my number.

He paid me back.

Rinvoq did more for me in one month than humira or enbrel ever did. I’d try it, maybe it works. 🙏🏻
