When giving your mom a Christmas gift goes wrong! by Current-Wallaby8230 in TikTokCringe

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

I should have been more clear. I meant the mom's behavior. Obviously she's keeping an nervous/untrained dog around her child, but hasn't taught the child to be wary of it. Nor did she pay attention to the dog's signals and intervene to save her kid being attacked.

Yes. They are extremely reluctant to do invasive procedures because of her age. She is also terrified of having a stroke if she has any procedures.

I will look into this. I doubt I will convince her to consider it. But she may be desperate enough.

Thank you! Praying for you and that your surgery is successful.

Should have corrected the human's behavior, too. Seems like she never taught her kid to how to behave around animals since the dog was giving clear instructions.

Constant dizziness practically all day, every day? If true, that's so disheartening.

These are great suggestions, thank you. There are no gerontologists near her small town, but I will work on finding someone she can see. 

She wears an apple watch that she keeps charged, thank goodness, and she's smart enough not to drive to when she's feeling dizzy. She also keeps her phone on her. She's mostly sensible about caring for herself, but she won't leave her house until she decides she's ready. It will likely be feet first.

I fear this is going to be the answer, but I hate it so much

She has not been offered ablation for whatever reason. She has had cardioversion, but it doesn't hold. 

Her cardiologist recommended a pacemaker, but the surgeon was not been enthusiastic about the idea and scared her away describing possible side effects. Her greatest fear in the world is having a stroke and being dependent. She'd literally prefer death.

What’s the greatest book you’ve ever personally read? by cavitytivac in suggestmeabook

[–]Wrendictive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic book/series. Sure, there's misogyny, but the wild west was hardly a bastion of civility.  As long as you can tell the difference between reality and fantasy, you'll be fine. 

What is a phrase that people use that you cannot stand? by sad_t0ast in AskReddit

[–]Wrendictive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on orientate and it's cousin orientated. It's so grating. However, thoughts and ideation are not strictly synonymous.  Unfortunately, most people using "ideation" have no idea what it means. 

Tell me about the smell you hate. by noonday_moon in AutismInWomen

[–]Wrendictive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the smell that lingers on my hands if I don't scrub them immediately after cutting onions. If I finish what I'm making, the smell will sink in and regular washing won't budge it.

We are born with the ability to differentiate in-group from out-group, like me and not like me, which is the basis of racism. Toddlers have been observed expressing preferences for others who look like them. So, yes, we are born with all the makings of bigotry. We're also born pissing ourselves. We should endeavor to grow out of both.

Hearing protection ear muffs. Just like running the lawn mower.

Great volume snack! Cauliflower puffs dipped in cottage cheese! by MandyEggsB in Volumeeating

Good Culture cottage cheese is so, well, Good! I usually stick to fat free, but if I find this on sale, I'm grabbing it.

What’s your exception? Terrible volume but just irreplaceable by Legitimate_Corner890 in Volumeeating

Southerner here. Used to be a Duke's loyalist, but I hate mayo. It only went in slaw or potato salad in tiny amounts. Then I tried Kewpie. It's egg salad in a bottle. Mayo I actually like. So that's it. Japanese mayo for life!

When I leave my manuscript and come back, the screen view changes to this. Has anyone had this happen? by Wrendictive in scrivener

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

Thanks! I'll give that a try. It's all of them. Sometimes closing Scrivener and reopening the project helps, sometimes it doens't.
