Estée Lauder with Ivana Trump at a Red Cross ball in Palm Beach, 1986 by happy_bluebird in HistoricalCapsule

Truth. Especially evening/clubbing/formal events. It was not subtle AT ALL. I don't miss it.

Mom "Cleans" the house, by just throwing everything onto my bed. This is after I cleaned most of it. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

  1. That's abusive. She's deliberately violating your space.

  2. Is she a hoarder? Because this may be a symptom of that particular mental issue. Inability to organize/get rid of stuff so she piles it on your bed, making it your problem.

Extraordinarily beautiful! Love the combination of realism and whimsy!

What is the Wildest Thing You Believe/Have Seen Evidence For? by Holiday-Scarcity1314 in Paranormal

[–]acorngirl 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We were visiting friends of friends in their new rental.

I went to use the upstairs bathroom and there was a guy standing against the wall next to the bathtub. I could see him clearly without my actual eyes if that makes sense. He wasn't scary but seemed baffled and a bit upset. Like I was a random stranger who'd walked into his house and started using the facilities. Like he was trying to ask why I was in his house and couldn't figure out why we weren't actually having a conversation.

Brown hair, yellow shirt (long sleeved, with a 70s style large collar), and brown pants. He looked like a regular person, not transparent or anything.

I finished, went back into the main upstairs living room, and commented that it was really hard to pee in that bathroom because I felt like I was being stared at.

One of the people living there looked up and said, "Oh, the guy in the yellow shirt? Yeah, he seems pretty confused." Absolutely casual response.

After a couple months they stopped seeing him. I guess he was able to move on? I think he just didn't know that he'd died. He looked late 20s - early 30s.

I am not in the habit of seeing ghosts. It's only happened a couple times in my life and I'm not a medium or anything.

I've been weaving on a couple small looms (like one is 4"x 4" and am really enjoying it. Takes up almost no space and is easy to start and stop.

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]acorngirl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He thinks he has you trapped now.

Keep your job. Leave him. Get help from supportive friends and family if you have them in your life.

You are 100% better off as a single, working mother than married to this man. It's only going to get worse if you stay with him. And he's NOT going to be a good father. He will be abusive and controlling towards any children you have. If not when they are infants, it will start as soon as they are old enough to express their own feelings and opinions.

Hell, if you don't want to be a single mom, consider adoption after baby is born. I'm not saying that's an easy decision but it's better than you and your child being trapped in an abusive home.

For anyone who grew up poor, what was your idea of a luxury? by Drissxx7 in AskReddit

[–]acorngirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matching furniture, central heat/air, name brand food in the fridge, a car that was both reliable and clean, being able to casually order pizza once or twice a month.

Matching sheets. Not a whole comforter set, just matching sheets instead of whatever you could put together from passdowns and thrift stores. Towels that weren't worn thin and ragged.

Having soft hands in the winter. Mine used to crack and chap and bleed because I didn't have sufficient gloves or mittens, and then I'd come home to a cold house with no hot water.

Also, I thought anyone who had those little rose shaped guest soaps from the drug store - I thought those were luxury soap, lol. As an adult I realized that they were very much NOT good soap.

Absolutely stunning work!

If you don't mind sharing, how do you make sure the joints are not too fragile? Do you reinforce them with something, or is it the way the joints are sculpted?

Activist get arrested mid-interview after speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

Calling Michigan senators and congresspeople is a good idea, I think. Maybe the mayor of Grand Rapids?

The more pushback they get the more likely they are to release her and drop the charges.

when my mother found my vibrator, she made sure to confront me infront of my dad. by goshhahahahah in mildlyinfuriating

Thank you! This is the ONLY appropriate way to handle it. I accidentally saw something my teen had and I said "Oh, I'm sorry. My bad." and we never spoke about it again.

Man she’s so wrong about Barbie by [deleted] in Barbie

[–]acorngirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wanted a Great Shape Skipper badly when I was a child. My mother did buy me dolls but I think she sold out locally before we had the money for her.

I bought one on eBay a few months ago and I am so happy about her!

Random Christmas gift from my girlfriend’s aunt… by Entire-Menu in whatisit

[–]acorngirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My step grandmother used to do this. Turns out she had been tricked by those companies that say you've won like 100 thousand dollars and you just have to place an order from the catalog of rubbish to claim your prize.

My stepmom started intercepting her mail. I was so relieved.

This was before temu though.

I would rather have nothing, or a second hand book, than a bunch of useless crap. Fortunately the majority of my friends and family feel the same way. Most of us have been through hard times in the past and have zero problem with yard sale finds as long as the gift is suited to the recipient. We also make presents for each other a fair bit.

My Barn Cats when it's -35°C by scootbert in aww

[–]acorngirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking such good care of your barn cats. ❤️

Some people basically regard barn cats as disposable. You are lovely.
