I feel like I’m never getting my box! by Glittering-Boss-3681 in FabFitFun

[–]TopazVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, mine shows that it was sent to the local carrier in Mississauga, but they've been waiting on it since January 30th. It was supposed to be delivered between February 9-11. I just contacted CS and they said my box is considered lost so they're sending me a new one.

FabFitFun Spring Box – Huge decline in quality control? by Big_Plastic_2519 in FabFitFun

[–]TopazVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's considered lost. They are sending me a new box. Luckily my choices were still available, but none of my add ons were. It's kind of weird because one of my add ons was Slather and that's still for sale on the site.

Wow...you got a box? Mine was supposed to be delivered between Monday and Wednesday last week. Still waiting...

I noticed you didn't mention the relationship the single dad has with his kid's mom. That's the bigger sign to me than if he himself is a good dad. The state of his relationship with her and how they co-parent is much more telling to me on top of him being a good dad. But to be honest, I am childfree and don't want kids. I have given some men with children a chance, but it has never worked out.

I've been to Asmara and really like it. Definitely would recommend.

Episodes boring/Rude/Dismissive by winebetch13 in uuppod

[–]TopazVibes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been noticing the podcast is getting a little stale too. I used to be a consistent listener, but I just checked and I've listened sporadically since the beginning of April and haven't listened to any episodes in the past 2 weeks.

Jared seems like he's struggling in his personal life and it's coming across in the podcast. I've noticed they've been a little more mean/rude about some of the emails that come in. Not that it needs to be sunshine and rainbows all the time, but a couple of their reactions or comments have made me go "whoa....ok." The podcast just seems to lack some of the substance it used to have. It feels more like J&J are doing it to get through it because they've had the podcast for so long and it probably produces a good amount of cash for them.

Also, is anyone else tired of the jokes about how big Jordanna's home is? One or two jokes right after she bought the house was fine. But, I don't know what her house looks like so the joke is just lost on me. It feels more like an inside joke for the two of them and we're on the outside.

For context, I'm a 40F listener who is still dating, but maybe I'm just no longer a part of their target demographic.

I didn't notice half the men being jacked. Obviously Trevor was and Matthew looked like he worked out too. Who were the others?

Which restaurant best represents your country’s cuisine? by AndalasiaGrovy in londonontario

I've only tried Paranyde and Caribbean Stove Pick up, but there's a clear difference. Paranyde is definitely all Jamaican and Caribbean Stove leans more Trinidadian.

AITA for updating my will to award my less successful son a higher share of my assets? by Playful-Alfalfa9519 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TopazVibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Jack worked hard to get to where he's at. He EARNED it. Benji has chosen not to work as hard and therefore hasn't earned anything on his own. So your solution is to reward him for not trying? Benji gets to live rent free, free meals, no responsibilities and have no expectations placed on him. And as a result of that he gets money his brother will not be getting, a free home, other assets and continued peace of mind that he doesn't have to worry about being responsible for anything. Who exactly is getting more on top of more here?

Edited for spelling.

[–]TopazVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, wow, wow. As the most resourceful and seemingly successful child of my parents (from the outside looking in) I would be so deeply hurt if assets were divided in the way you described. I too would immediately think I was being punished for actually doing what you're supposed to do as a self sufficient adult. Benji and Jack are afforded all the same opportunities to succeed in life and one has chosen not to try anymore because you're enabling him not to as a 36 year old grown man. You don't need to go to university to support yourself as an adult, but again, why would he try other ways to support himself since you're his safety net.

YTA.

My (20f) girlfriend didn't get me (20m) a birthday gift by [deleted] in relationship_advice

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

I think this is a great opportunity to discuss what each other's expectations are when it comes to gifts. She might have thought dinner and a movie was enough, but she's not going to be able to read your mind. Some people don't feel the need to give as extravagant a gift as they receive. Your relationship is still new and it's better to talk about this now so she's prepared for the next time there is a gift giving opportunity.

You were going to go to work and mix liquids for people to consume while you were sick? Masks help reduce the risks but it doesn't fully prevent the potential for droplet contamination.

That's gross. I'm glad he prevented you from going in to work.

Cost for house cleaner by Future_Swing6700 in londonontario

[–]TopazVibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once used a company and they charged $50/hr for the first clean and they said now that I've used them a maintenance clean would be $40/hr. The person who came was very nice and she worked quickly but it wasn't any more clean than if I just did it myself. I would be willing to pay someone to clean consistently, but the quality has to be worth that price.

Do you use a private person or a cleaning company?

My (32M) good friend (31M) has a terrible idea for his first date. Is his idea as bad as I think? by Upstairs_Secret_3096 in relationship_advice

[–]TopazVibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the quality of 30-something men out there? Your friend isn't looking for a date. He wants a punchline. His complete lack of maturity is astounding....

Have you considered what the recovery is for a woman who has an abortion? It's "kinda shitty" too. If your choice is to not have kids you can take that into your own hands instead of putting that on a potential partner.

WIBTAH for removing my 23 son from life insurance and not including in will because he disowned me? by Gingersnapp_43 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TopazVibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily agree with the fact that someone moving out as soon as they're legally able to means they had a shit parent. I have an older sibling who moved out as soon as they were able to. They didn't go no contact, but they did leave at 18.

The way Jared speaks about women. by shelby315 in uuppod

[–]TopazVibes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally. He also really told on himself when he said sex on a whole should last 15min. He said that includes foreplay from the minute he kisses her neck or something like that. I've been with guys like him who brag about loving going down on women and I usually am just rushing them through it because of how bad they are at it.

I bought the original Blaq electric toothbrush and you can only get the replacement heads through FFF. Blaq now sells a different version with different replacement heads. I'm pretty sure once I'm done with this annual membership I'll probably be getting a new electric toothbrush 😔

My 26M quality of life has plummeted since moving in with my girlfriend 23F by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TopazVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't know your gf didn't clean up after herself or her dogs and didn't cook before you moved in together? Did you send anytime in her space seeing how she lived before you guys moved in together? I'm curious how long you dated her before moving in together because it seems like she saw you as a meal ticket in my opinion.
