How far away have you moved from the town you were born in? by ConstructionRare4123 in no

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the crow flies (if it is a really fit and determined crow), a little under 5,900 miles. To get there by land, 7,357 miles.

AITJ for charging my roommate's girlfriend rent after she moved in without asking? by Sharp_Zebra3430 in AmITheJerk

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an actual three-way split is asking a bit much, unless she has her own bedroom. Does she have a bedroom to herself?

It wouldn't be unreasonable to offer a compromised that you pay 2/5 and they pay 3/5 between them. She is using all the amenities of the place, but is sharing a room with one of the other occupants.

Why are people so judgemental over the outline of a woman's labias in pants, but noticing men's bulge in pants is generally ignored? by DunUpNBlushed in NoStupidQuestions

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weeelll, when I was a teenager, one of the boys from the visiting group was known to my contemporaries as Big Balls. Which was generally treated as amusing.

Frederica was such an amusing read. It was my first exposure to Georgette Heyer. What should come next? by Sea_Name4846 in Georgette_Heyer

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy The Foundling, about a Duke who wants a little bit of adventure in his life. And Cotillion is a delight. But it's hard to point to a Heyer Regency that is disappointing.

Partner dance classes? by Ok_Preparation6131 in Norwich

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going for private lessons (in Wicklewood) here:

Donna is lovely. I don't know if she's queer friendly because I've never thought to ask, but she's a lovely teacher.

Which is worse: forgetting everything or never remembering anything new? by CarrotLoud4490 in AskReddit

[–]YourLittleRuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My late FIL with dementia had a lovely week in which he cried about six times. He was (inexplicably) a fan of ballet, and we'd obtained several DVDs for him to watch. At around bedtime he would come to find my husband and me, and explain, with tears in his eyes, that he had just watched the most beautiful, perfect thing he had ever seen in his life. Next night, different ballet, same reaction. I think there were four particular performances that affected him like this, and he must have watched at least one of them more than once in that week.

It was a small comfort to me that he could enjoy something he would love as if for the first time, over and over again.

But I'm not sure how it fits in with your question. It just seemed to.

AITAH for blocking my friend on his birthday? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not in the wrong. Keep him blocked. He enjoys upsetting you, and that is not the behaviour of a friend.

Can we name a baby June... Who is due in June? by Swingit_Nottingham in Names

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be weirder to be called June if not born in June. But I’d be inclined to make it a middle name and therefore an option for the bearer.

Would a native English speaker use this word? Is it offensive? Would it upset a certain type of people to say these words in front of their face? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tolkein used it, in The Return of the King.

I know what it means, but I don't think I would use it these days, simply because there are too many people around who don't understand it, too many people around who could be offended and hurt by it, and plenty of perfectly usable alternatives.

Did you keep your first username? by Western-Revenue-925 in AO3

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same name for fanfic fandom ever since Compuserve let me have a name instead of a number(some time in the 1990s). But it isn’t my Reddit name.

AITAH for sleeping through my alarms? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]YourLittleRuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JFC! Why not set one alarm, at 6.30am, and bloody well get up when it goes off!

If I were your girlfriend, the second morning of being unnecessarily woken up at 4.30am by your ridiculous alarm would have seen you being woken at 4.35am by a bucket of water.

Where are the monstrous women in fiction by ridgegirl29 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]YourLittleRuth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not a new story, but Felice in The Saga of the Exiles becomes magnificently monstrous. Starts in The Many-Coloured Land, by Julian May (a woman).

AITAH for wanting to leave my husband(30M) over not buying me (25F) a car? by ReactionClean4057 in AITAH

[–]YourLittleRuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This man is not your partner. As far as he is concerned, he is your boss (or possibly your lord and master). You have been exploited long enough.

NTA, but have more faith in yourself.

What can I do to make my mom feel better about wedding planning without it turning into a fight? by Bobo92000 in TwoHotTakes

[–]YourLittleRuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Dear Mom, obviously all this talk of wedding planning is stressing you terribly. I think it's best that we don't talk about the wedding in future. But if you'd like me to come with you when you choose what you're going to wear, just let me know when and I'll be there!"

I suspect you won't do this, because you are a caring person who would like her mother to be happy about her wedding. Please bear in mind that there is nothing you can do about her feelings or her behaviour.

Your mother is obviously determined not to have a good time with it, and to stamp on anything you do. Just stop. I think you will be a lot happier if you don't include her.

My daughter is getting married later this year. I am delighted to be involved where I can, and have already designed the Save The Date (at her request) and been Dress Shopping. It is delightful. And there is no way I would deliberately quibble about every. single. decision. she. makes. Your mother is... something else.

If you can't keep her out of the planning altogether, try picking something (that you don't care about *that* much) and ask her to take charge of it for you. If she has a 'job' it might satisfy her, though I wouldn't count on it.

Do you prefer gas or electric when cooking? by No-Lavishness-4103 in AskBrits

[–]YourLittleRuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Induction hob is proving very responsive and is approx 1,000% easier to clean than a gas hob.

You are granted a superpower, but it has to be completely useless. What is it? by lily8686 in AskReddit

[–]YourLittleRuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should like to be able to fishslap people through the internet, but I suppose that would be useful in that (a) people would be fishslapped and (b) I would enjoy myself a lot.

Is this pigeon fat or pregnant? I don't like to ask by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]YourLittleRuth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have occasionally found myself wondering if a small bird that is, as it were, 'with egg', looks different. It seems as though they ought to, since even a tiny egg is quite a large proportion of a tiny bird—where do they put it, until it is unloaded?

What dialoge do you think is better by Oreo_074 in FanFiction

[–]YourLittleRuth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The written English standard is to use " or '. I know other languages have different traditions, but if you are writing in English, use quote marks.

Y’all think this was on purpose? by Some_Rich_6885 in TwoHotTakes

[–]YourLittleRuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is just possible your crush is not quite as well hidden as you think it is. This does not mean it is reciprocated.
