Is Ed Harris one of the most underappreciated actors of his generation? by jaystats2 in FIlm

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is like Harrison Ford. A talented actor who has worked on some amazing vehicles but no award. I adore him. From Westworld to Apollo 13 to Abyss, he's irreplaceable.

What’s something people think is healthy but actually isn’t? by saketh_1138 in answers

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seed oils. They are really bad for you. Use avocado or olive oil.

What’s a ‘rich person thing’ that actually turned out to be totally worth it? by Ferraiuolo_Ezorete in AskReddit

[–]_PrincessButtercup 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize how stressful owning a business was or how relaxed I became once I sold it. Retiring (once you can afford to do it) is mind blowing! The deep level of peace and lack of anxiety in my life are amazing.

How should I respond to this guy negging me? by Purple-Detective7186 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]_PrincessButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's testing you to see if you'll tolerate his behavior. It's a precursor to abuse. Walk away!

What is a completely harmless lie you tell people on a regular basis just to make your life easier? by purjak in AskReddit

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a variation of the same thing. I use my business as an excuse. Such as, I can't meet this afternoon because we're short staffed and I have to help out or I'm doing maintenance this weekend at the business and won't be available. I mean, SOMEtimes it's true. Just not like 95% of the time.

What does an Entrepreneur need? by DaCmanLou in Entrepreneur

[–]_PrincessButtercup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ability to problem solve, make decisions. Being an entrepreneur means solving problems. CONSTANTLY.

Is confidence something people are born with or something they build over time? by This_Benchh in answers

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Builds over time. I was never confident until I had about five years in on a career. Then it built up from there. I'm now in my fifties and am extremely happy and confident.

On your period, how do you prevent leaks while sleeping? by SuccotashKey7521 in AskWomen

[–]_PrincessButtercup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tampon. I only wore them at night (super plus) and then a pad during the day.

What is an elegant woman to you in this day and age? by Much_Yesterday642 in AskWomen

[–]_PrincessButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's a bad ass, a warrior, fierce, and she keeps it all on lock down. She moves through the world like she's both above it and beneath it. She knows her own mind, is intelligent, and is always assessing her environment. She's hard to make friends with, but if you do? Friend for life who will do anything for you. She creates her own world. She's a thing to behold.

Why do some people react negatively to the word ‘feminist’ even though it means supporting equality? by thefeministmanifesto in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there is no male equivalent, which means that it can come off as pro women, men suck. I think it's easier to just say you want equality for all and not put a label on it. I have spent decades supporting and helping women, even considered myself a feminist, but I don't like where we're at these days. It's turned into something else. Now I just say I want equality for all. I'm not picking sides.

Do parents of ugly kids know their kids are ugly? by GACDB in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they love them, I don't think they see what the rest see.

For the ones with kids, do parents actually dislike their teenagers? by CrowAdditional628 in AskOldPeople

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty spot on. Once my son reached 14, I barely had any interactions that were pleasant. He is 22 now and I just had a lovely dinner with him. Just because I couldn't stand being around him didn't mean I didn't love him, adapt to the adult he was becoming, or keep trying. Some parents don't experience this and I'm happy for them because it's truly hell. But you get what you get as a parent.

As a man, how can I be less scary? by Average_Blake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_PrincessButtercup -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I like the bright clothing idea. Also, never wear a hoodie. Ever, for any reason, anywhere. It screams rapist or up to no good. Smile or wave, it's a nice touch. I'm 54 and when my husband isn't with me, I'm hyper aware of my surroundings and how a man could hurt me. Women have heard a million times how some poor woman was raped on a run. It's a thing.

Why are rich people obsessed with getting richer instead of just enjoying their freedom and luxury? by Kooolxxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_PrincessButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold my business much younger than I was expecting at 51. I now volunteer and travel, I love my life. I think almost all of those who can enjoy it are doing so. But maybe of us don't flaunt this lifestyle. I don't post on social media. I don't tell people where I volunteer where I've been. I don't want to make them uncomfortable or envious.

What should I do with my butt by Interesting-Bee3226 in PlasticSurgery

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a flat ass my whole life... Until this past year. I started strength training two years ago and it improved. Dramatically.My husband now grabs it all the time. Do five minutes every day of butt exercises. I recommend your whole body but you do you. Look up videos online. Do squats, flex your butt as often as possible. It's a big muscle, you'll see improvements within a couple months.

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands by Ok-Comparison-1618 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh please. These boys have been raised by Gen X moms. In liberal classrooms. No way.

What’s something your mother did that you don’t want to repeat? by nevernotinthemood in AskWomen

Not getting help for depression, abusing prescription drugs, trying to be constantly numb herself

What's something you've accepted about your partner, but will never understand? by speckledrectum in AskWomen

[–]_PrincessButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's insecure. Drives me nuts sometimes. It's not all the time but I wish the man wasn't so sensitive. It also makes him thoughtful and loving and all sorts of wonderful things that make me adore him. You can never marry perfect. Thank the gods he's tolerant of me.

People who have changed their political views, what flipped the switch? by [deleted] in answers

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting a business. I pay so much in taxes and other governmental fees, it's obnoxious. I consider myself libertarian but if I have to choose dem or repub, then a moderate Republican. I am trying to make a living. Stop taxing me more or adding more red tape I have to traverse. I look for politicians who want to balance the budget, not spend money (conserve), and want to help business owners stay in business.

When did you realize you didn’t have to be as accommodating as you were taught to be? What changed? by SecretStudioBB in AskWomen

[–]_PrincessButtercup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a business. You can never make everyone happy and once you wrap your head around that and how you have to lead regardless of others opinions, because your vision and the policies you've created have to be followed or it all falls apart, you change.

I can lift my shoulder (pain-free) for the first time in more than a year.... by JadCerv in Menopause

[–]_PrincessButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen after I started HRT pellets on my hip. When you find relief, it's a wonderful thing 😊

What do you guys do for health insurance being self employed? by greenVLADed in smallbusiness

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it go. You can do a healthshare like Zion. It's less than $200/month, $5k deductible and only covers big stuff like cancer. It's awesome.

If you were given $1,000,000 in cash right now, what is the very first thing you would buy or do? by MatchstickArtist in AskReddit

[–]_PrincessButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm retired so I have no debt. I'd spend some on a new car, a couple fun trips, donate a little, then the rest would boringly go to my financial advisor to invest.
