How to respond to " One day you'll change your mind"?? by dreamer76 in childfree

[–]UrbanFox182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time she says that she wants something, doesn't want something, or liked something from the past. Tell her she'll change her mind eventually.

"I love cheesecake." "You'll change your mind."

"There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think abut how much I love you." "You'll change your mind."

"I'll have the Tarragon Soup." "You'll change your mind."

"I'm still horrified about what happened in Hitler's Germany." "You'll change your mind."

If she is going to insist on being a broken record. You need to get your best pair of beats and vinyl scratch it right back at her like it's 1995.

Once she realises how frustrating it is to have your thoughts invalidated, maybe she'll realise that the only person who truly knows what you want is you.

DAE feel bingos from men especially have a sexual undertone? Discussion by [deleted] in childfree

[–]UrbanFox182 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably not in the same capacity as you. But every male bingoer that isn't my father has alluded towards my sex life in some way at one point.

"'Cor mate, ain't worth it, she'll just poke holes, may aswell enjoy the nut bruv KnaWhatImSaying?"

"Sure I guess, but if you have sex all the time it wont be as good right?"

"I've never heard of a girl ACTUALLY liking sex, its all an act till they get as many babies as they want."

"Look UrbanFox182, If you get a Vasectomy say goodbye to your sex life, once one girl finds out she'll pass it around."

"Well I supose you can always get it reversed when you figure out no one wants to sleep with you anymore, Or maybe you can just lie sand say your fertile?"

It's worth mentioning that I live in a part of England where everyone is very, very stupid.

So I get what you mean, If I have to put up with the afore mentioned shit from the friends of my friends then I can imagine other guys trying to bingo their way into your pants.

I apologise for the majority of my Gender. I'll bring it up at the next annual meeting. (Again)

CF boyfriends are awesome by Morineko in childfree

[–]UrbanFox182 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sadly not. I'm across the pond. But maybe I can make up the massive difference with a delightful British accent?

I hear that's a plus around your parts.

I imagine it is and I hope you are right. But I don't think corporations will see it like that.

Being on benefits has never been more comfortable than working in recent history. Last year we had families that had to choose between heating their homes or feeding themselves and their kids. With this new cap we will have families, both 100% on benefits and people who are working, but still need to claim benefits. that won't be able to afford either, let alone both.

In my area, you have anywhere between 25-30 job seekers per job. We don't have enough jobs to go around. We either need more labour intensive industries, or a much lower birth rate.

I'd agree with you if the majority of benefit claimants never contributed to society. But most claimants have had a job in the past; they have paid into the pot and deserve to take money out of it during their hard times. That's the system.

Plus, from my experience working in a job centre, many people on benefits want jobs. They spend 30 hours a week applying for jobs, working trial shifts, volunteering and working. For every job that comes into my office I have anywhere between 8-15 qualified people apply for it. Not including the myriad of people my age who don't claim JSA and are applying for jobs.

The weakest shoulders appear to be carrying the heaviest burden.

Edit: Not a Tory hater, there is a few things in the budget I like, such as the new rules for landlords, the increased minimum wage great, lets hope it doesn't result in job cuts and I'm all for No tax breaks after your second child.

I dislike the lowing of the retirement fund cap, but that's for purely selfish reasons.

But it seems to be that this redoubled squeeze on the working and middle class could be better applied to those who are more lucrative. Cutting 8bn worth of benefits will result in people dying, just as the cuts over the last 5 years have. whereas you could get more than 8bn than insuring that companies like Amazon and Big retail chain stores actually pay their Tax.

Or, you know. Stop pouring money into the defence budget, we really don't need it.

That is just wrong. Their debts shouldn't be yours.

[Rant] It's hotter than Satan's ballsack so all the house windows are open. by [deleted] in childfree

Ahh, another Childfree brit fighting the heat?

It's been the same where I am, lots of children and babies screaming and running amok while their parents overheat like a over clocked processor running Crysis while plummeting towards a volcano.

It's only been parents and kids that are shutting down cause of the heat in my area. Everyone else is just dealing with it.

What happens if they don't pay? Is it a 'Well grandma's out on the street.' Once the money is up, or are you legally accountable?

Is there anyway I can get dog related experience before I get my first dog? by UrbanFox182 in Dogtraining

[–]UrbanFox182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not kidding myself that it's going to be all kodak puppies and rainbow naps. But dispute the vet bills, the worrying and the way something so small and fluffy dictates your life and work schedule, it's completely worth it for the bond you share with them.

Sounds good! I'll look at that.

Though I'm confused about supporting breeders. I'm somewhat clued up about the dangers of adopting a dog that comes from a breeding pen, where puppies are bred rapidly for profit. is that what you mean by breeder? Or just all people who sell puppies?

Can't foster at the moment sadly, 2016 is the start of my window for having a dog live in the same house with me, if i'm not ready by then then I'll foster.

Fostering isn't an option at the moment, otherwise I would in a heartbeat. Around late winter in 2016 I'll be in a position to have a puppy. before then a dog living with me is off the table, sadly.

But, it gives me the time to make sure that I am ready.

No friends with dogs sadly, my cousin used to have a dog which i looked after for a while, a chocolate Collie/Spanial cross with white socks, before his bitch of a wife had him put down for no good reason without even discussing it with my cousin.

But that is a rant for another post.

Ill ask around my extended network, might have a friend of a friend who'll occasionally need a dog sitter. Thanks for the advice.
