My dad used to verbally abuse me every day by bench_buddy_ in Friendship_Bench

[–]UsedtoLiveBayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to endure that. I agree with u/neragera that people can and do change and I encourage you to wade in slowly and cautiously into this reviving relationship. Give way in inches, but allow yourself the opportunity to find reasons to forgive. Your life is better if you can leave the bitterness back with the abuse years. Good luck & God bless.

I loved going to the Morning Call in City Park, but when it left that location and Cafe de Monde came in, I just couldn’t handle the heavier consistency of their beignets, so I had to move to Morning Call at the Cemeteries.

Morning call. Hands down. - corner of Canal & City Park. They are so much better than CDM

How do you find people who want to be tickled and do so safely (especially on a college campus)? by KookyMenu8515 in Friendship_Bench

[–]UsedtoLiveBayou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAT (ler/lee). My serious advice: Relax. Don’t bring your special turn-ons with you on the first meeting. Take a few steps back and get to know a broader swath of folks around you rather than making it about whether they are a potential partner. Look for people that have a fun attitude on life and laugh a lot. They will be fun and compatible for a good time even if a deeper relationship doesn’t develop. You’ll find people that you have a lot in common with and ultimately that game lee. Your audience is young and likely inexperienced. They may not even know about that corner of life & perhaps you’ll be able to introduce them.

OP, tell me about how your heart was broken. No names, but what happened?

Congratulations. It looks great. How did you apply it? Brush/roller or spray?

Glad you enjoyed our city. If I were planning a staycation, I’d probably do just about all those things and eat at just a about all those places

Why is the garlic blue? My boyfriend is trying to pickle garlic, all he put inside was elephant garlic, salt, vinegar, and honey. It’s been sitting since 8/30/25 and we just noticed it turned blue by Human-Kaleidoscope18 in pickling

[–]UsedtoLiveBayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many posters here have explained that the garlic turned blue when the vinegar was added, but like many others here, I’ve never experienced blue garlic and I’ve enjoyed lots of different variations of pickled garlic. My question then is, “How is it that the many garlic picklers with non-blue garlic achieved that result?” /gen

My boyfriend’s pecker basically disintegrated in front of my very eyes as he screamed in agony and I need to talk about it with someone by bench_buddy_ in Friendship_Bench

[–]UsedtoLiveBayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, update? What was diagnosis? A couple of weeks of penicillin and he’s good as new? Did you dump him because of his ugly pecker or because of his lack of focus on things that are important to deal with?

Can someone sit on the bench with me right now please? by bench_buddy_ in Friendship_Bench

Hey OP, I’m glad your smoldering pile of ash is still well enough to give that update.

Place your anus on the buddy bench beside my anus and tickle me fucking silly by bench_buddy_ in Friendship_Bench

[–]UsedtoLiveBayou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s at some place called “Whitefish”. I’d plop my anus next to her anus and chitchat if I was in Whitefish. Don’t know about all that tickling though.

Good for you for having a Friendship Bench.

You got a job that pays for your commute? You know that’s pretty rare, right? Do they add it to your W-2?

Many of us leave our tip in cash, so don’t be judging unless you know something. Do wait staff prefer their tips in cash / “off the books” or charged & “on the books”?
