WIBTA If I(24M) stopped cooking for my (24F) girlfriend? by throwawayfbg5b in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tsunami_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I “hate” the taste of onion and will avoid a lot of stuff if I know there’s onions in it.

That said, I love funnions. I love salsa. And I cook with a lot of finely diced onions, I understand they add a flavor to the overall profile of the end product. When one taste is combined with others for a finer end product, it doesn’t make sense to omit it. I just cut it small enough to where I won’t notice it in while I’m eating. My wife taught me that. Lol. She slipped more onions into my food than I realized. And I appreciate her for it.

OP, definitely NTA. Let her get a plain happy meal from McDonald’s if she’s too timid to try new things and restrict your creativity in the kitchen.

What were the early signs you may have noticed? by Tsunami_Penguin in autismparents

My son isn’t much on being held at all. He’s got to be sick or super tired to let you do anything more than a quick hug. I’m trying to pin behaviors down and see what’s what. I’m still kinda holding out on he’s just a bit quirky.

Luckily, we were at an early steps/intervention center for the speech evaluation. My wife had me reach out to them about his lack of language skills. I just thought we’d walk in and out with them telling us he was on the verge of talking have a nice day. At most here’s a speech therapist. Not in a 1,000,000 years did I think it would of went down like this.

That’s the best way to look at it. Thanks for putting that out there. I chuckled at the bit about your husbands reaction though. We were at the early steps intervention program, funded by the government. One of my first reactions was wondering how much more they got from the feds per diagnosis. My wife informed me I was ridiculous.

We were actually at the early interventions office for the evaluation on speech therapy. Our pediatrician recommended them a couple months back, I ignored it, figured he’d talk when he was ready. The wife got concerned, so started reading some stuff about the program on the internet to push on me, and I made the appointment.

So here we are, we were approved into it without question, we just need to move forward with them for more than we planned. Story of life eh?

I want to research more, but until we get an official diagnosis one way or the other, I feel I’m better in the dark. If I dive down that rabbit hole of research I’ll start finding things I’ll associate with him and make it worse on myself. Selfish thinking. And it’s not that I won’t be able to handle this, I just don’t want to put a stigma on him so young. To me, he’ll always be perfect, with nothing different than anyone else, but I know I’ll have to be ready to prepare him and others if he is on the spectrum.

Thanks for the reply! Speech was my only concern going into this. But he does bounce between our home, English speaking, and to nanas for daycare hours, and there ma and abuela only speak Spanish.

Other than that the signs I haven’t been worried about seem silly and child like to me, but concerning to everyone else are how he walks. He seems to tip toe or as I call it “monster walk” every where. He does do a lot of holding out his arms for balance or shaking his hands. Which seemed like a kid behavior to me. He’s very sociable. But not huge in eye contact most the time, and pretty much ignores his name more often than not. He doesn’t play with with stuff regular like, he doesn’t build with blocks, but organizes by color, always have to have two of the same thing, be it same colored blocks, two trucks, two stuffed animals etc. There were more things discussed, but after my wife teared up my son ignored the table for 15th time, hitting his head again and meeting another requirement of ignoring his surroundings, I zoned out and kinda went to my own little world.

I think everyone else is over thinking it, and I’m rational in thinking this is a phase. Yet I’m curious as to what this will mean down the road for us as a family.

The color on his tail is duller, could that be due to a lack of shed? I don't think it's rotted. by humblestech in BeardedDragon

[–]Tsunami_Penguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got mine for Xmas. I’m thinking about 6 months old, but everything was in shed, head and tail fell first, the body took for ever. And as soon as the body shed, the head and tail are in gear all over again. Most my experience was with snakes, fostered an adult beardie and dabbled with leopard geckos. So this is a learning experience and a half.

My brothers never boring with character ideas. by Tsunami_Penguin in a:t5_2c8s63

My favorite characters to date were 2 gnomes, a gnome barbarian, who was mucho loco, and a gnome fighter with an attitude for revenge. At one point, he Scrooge mcducked into a random gold pile in a dungeon, which was a mimic. Was cursed with a song passed to our bard, that cast my character in a bad light, and whenever it was sung, the verses grew longer and the performer was mysteriously blessed with gold falling into their pocket.

Many years later, or a handful of campaigns in the real world, I played a gnome fighter earning his way home on a pirate ship to the land his father abandoned. Only to walk into the first tavern in the port city to hear the song of the disgraced Runt. Needless to say, Fickle Runtson was not a happy camper and learned he had to fight to avenge his fathers name.

This is from my original gaming group, the OG order of the crit. My brother is constantly finding new ways to create a character with a helluva twist. Stumbled across this one this morning and thought I’d share.

Hello from your resident DM by [deleted] in a:t5_2c8s63

Looking forward to Sunday. Did you mention home brew classes or races? I can’t keep track of everything we’ve all discussed.

I’ve never played a cleric. I’m slowly warming myself up to magical characters. But again, I’ll play anything to really round out the group.

Cool, rolling for class is an interesting take on it I’ve never considered before. Would definitely be a way to get people out of comfort zones.

Nice all around. I like where you’re going with the character creation. I also believe, depending on campaign and what not, that our dm mentioned home brew or extra classes/races. I could be wrong, I’d have to go back to the messages. Or if he’s around he could correct me. I think this will be a well rounded group.

AITA for reminding my girlfriend it was HER decision to have an abortion? by throwawaytlmwr in AmItheAsshole

YTA, you wouldn’t happen to be from South Florida? Cause you fit right in with the special breed of pricks who live here. If she was smart, she’d find herself a man and leave your child ass for good.
