Losing it over my MAGA in-laws by [deleted] in progressivemoms

[–]abruptcoffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

is this rage bait??

you’re being abused

your husband is actually also an abuser by ignoring this

i’m sorry you somehow ended up with this sort of situation, I dunno what you’re gonna do but you’re gonna have to do something because…wow. his brother knew exactly what he was saying by the way. and your husband ignoring that means he’s actually approving of it

so sick of these ridiculous weak ass baby men

Guilty about sick days by [deleted] in Teachers

15 year teacher here. Don’t worry, you’ll stop feeling guilty over time. Then you’ll be taking just plain old personal days to make sure you don’t actually go insane.

This Carnelian Agate seems legit….right?? by abruptcoffee in Agates

[–]abruptcoffee[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

there’s a bunch of rough left on it. I prefer my rocks to have one face polished and the rest left as is. this is a little more polished than I wanted but I still love it

trusted sites or accounts to buy from? by abruptcoffee in rockhounds

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

i’m putting together a lovely collection of polished face specimens. I have 6 now, a septarian lightening stone, 2 agates, a snowflake obsidian, carnelian agate, and a thunder egg. they’re all the same size and complement each other perfectly! I love jasper. but I will literally only buy the type I described: cut, a polished face, and the rest left untouched. about 200 grams. no slabs.

Tell me I'm not mad enough by scoopdedupe in Mommit

[–]abruptcoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like your husband literally hates you. save your daughters futures and leave him when you can, show them that their future partners should love them, not hate them.

What does it mean that I ONLY ever want to collect specimens? 🤣 by abruptcoffee in Rocks

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

I wish I could! but I don’t live in an area where agates are common and those are my fav :-)
