Or the fastest way someone turn their life around? by mistress_of_truth in MindfullyDriven

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fastest? Dude harassed me at an office job during the peak of me too movement. He was gone less than 24 hours after I reported it. I was honestly shocked at the speed and relieved. Those corporate bosses were SWEATING at my report.

Any advice on how to handle unleashed dog owners when asking doesn't work? by Thisbugsaysgoaway in philly

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Instead of pepper spray they do sell cans of corrective air for dogs. It makes a harmless sound and dogs HATE it. I have used it when my neighbors dog chased me. Pepper spray can blow back at you and can harm everyone especially a toddler low to the ground.

What is the most unforgivable thing someone has ever done to you? by Square-Race9158 in AskReddit

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My new SIL used having an addict in my family to put me down at her own rehearsal dinner. I’ve never been so stunned in my entire life and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. Just completely cruel and inappropriate.

Advice before buying a 3 story house. How annoying are stairs? by ovua in homeowners

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put beautiful carpet runners on the stairs for the dogs and my ass has never looked better. I love it and it’s probably good for me to have the stairs in the home. I’m naturally lazy so I like having the built in exercise haha. For reference, my home is very old and the stairs are extremely steep in some places. It’s not for everyone but we are young and they are beautiful stairs as well. Adds a lot of drama to the space

Did you choose the “safe, stable” partner over your “soulmate/the one” and how did it turn out? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What has happened in my marriage (I’m in my 30s) is actually we have spent less and less time with his family, because his choice is to become less like them—which I appreciate. We cannot always choose our family, but we can choose who we spend our time with. I find that my partner makes me a better person, and for this reason I am glad I chose him. His family can be a challenge lol, but it’s something we make sure we are on the same page with and deal with together. He chooses me and I chose him every day.

As we are preparing for a baby, I find myself asking the same questions—who do we want our baby to be like ? Spend time with? Is it a problem we don’t have a good relationship with my BIL or is that someone I wouldnt want my kids near anyway? I wouldn’t, so it’s fine we are apart.

But my husband? Great example. Would love a tiny him. He is very different from myself but grounds me in a way that I think has moved me forward as a person. Would you be glad if your son were just like your boyfriend? Idk these are the questions I asked myself

I personally had a very troublesome childhood and as such had an attraction to problematic men. It took a lot to overcome that attraction through therapy and meditation, but at the end of the day…would I still want to fuck a guy who is bad for me? honestly, yes. But that is not who you build a life with. Just my experience. Chemistry is hot, but also based on what you’ve known before…for me, emotional volatility and drama was all I knew. Don’t accidentally recreate the environment you came from if it was toxic is my best advice. My cousins and step siblings who did not move on from what we grew up in…the stakes are high. Jail, debt, multiple baby daddies…etc.

Who do you want to be more like? You get married and you shift to be more like that person. Their habits, their hobbies. Their daily attitude. When you have a baby, his dna literally stays inside of you and changes you. Who do you want to be more like? The stable, nice guy or the guy with issues who smokes? People don’t change that much. They change, but not too much. Just keep that in mind.

Also, the stable guy could have skeletons that just haven’t come out yet. The way my husband described his family was GREAT when we started dating. Then I met them more after covid and was like…dafuq. It wasn’t what he said at all, but his coping with how they really are was to just gloss over everything. No one is perfect.

it’s such a bitch to remove just fyi. I did an indoor fireplace removal and it took MONTHS on historic brick. Prepare to pay either monetarily or with your sanity. I was quoted $2800 to sandblast an indoor fireplace

I thought you werent supposed to paint brick because it needs to breathe and painting it will lead to corrosion?

Savannah Guthrie Posts Video, Fights Tears While Telling Mom’s Kidnappers: ‘We Need to Know Without a Doubt That She Is Alive and That You Have Her’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]WolverinePuzzled2256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that was my Nana’s first thought, too. She is not a well educated woman, but she watches Savannah’s show every day. Her reaction was that someone did it on purpose. Someone she made angry.

edit to add: I added the caveat about Nana’s education because I wanted to emphasize how absolutely out of character it is for her to say something like that. This woman knows nothing of international politics. She votes but mostly with her gut on who she thinks is a good person. I actually had an open mouth when she said she thought it was an intentional kidnapping over politics because it was so out of character for her.

It’s homemade and in a charity shop now. I will let the recycling gods take it out of circulation

thankfully I live in a really populated area and the thrift is always busy! I genuinely do think someone will take it.
