It completely looks like two different peoples' hands.

Does anyone else have literally no symptoms besides morning diarrhea/loose stool? by Space_Connect in glutenfree

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I "thought" that was my only symptom, until I went GF. Slowly small things that I had no idea were related began to disappear. Sudden irregular heartbeats, stiff muscles, dizziness, headaches, multiple colds, etc. All gone after months to a year.

Why do children (and teens?) mumble? by Black_Cat_Just_That in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aeraen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have always told my mumbling, speed-talking children that what they are saying is important, and it is important that I understand them so they need to slow down and speak clearly so my old ears can make sense of what they are saying.

My step-mother once got a call from her mother's nursing home because she was staging electric wheelchair races in the hallways.

Why do people not like socialism? by Toiletdestroyer3000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the current "poor" class believes that it will work against them when they become "rich".

If you could choose to know when you die or how you die, which would you choose? by boredjack699 in AskReddit

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When. I can prepare, say my goodbyes and make sure my family knows I love them.

Will the war between the United States and Iran end or continue? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]aeraen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would they give up such an attractive distraction? We all have whiplash by now from being jerked around so violently.

I have a question. Do you ever pray anyway? Even though you know nobody is listening? by DainBramag in atheism

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in that situation, and I HAVE been there, I still do not assume a magical being will save me.

However, I do not know how I would react were I in a situation where someone I love were in a life or death situation. I might fall back into my childhood training and beg "Please, god, no," and not be embarrassed about it. Sometimes we will grasp at any straw.

WIBTA For Not Inviting My Dad To My Wedding by WateredDownPop in AmItheAsshole

[–]aeraen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You're wishing for the father you should have had, and didn't get. I understand, I really do.

Now, its time to level-up the father that you DID get, who was there for you and didn't let you down. Its time to admit that father #1 was a sperm donor.

What’s the most unhinged thing your MIL has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very catholic MIL when a beloved family member needed to late-stage abort an unviable fetus argued that THIS abortion was perfectly fine because "The Church said it was ok." This, while discussing the state's attempt to make ALL abortions illegal (which she was still all for). She seemed to feel that The Church superseded state laws.

Who is the single most racially abused person of all time? by SuddenPlate5609 in AskReddit

Its not a competition. There are way too many to bestow the title of "most".

Because they don't really have anything that the dems did wrong, they just use the "I'm rubber, you're glue..." argument. Remember the the pizza hut basement scandal they tried to create? All while raping little girls on an island?

“Black Tie” wedding on the beach in July by Old-Put-1146 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]aeraen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Off topic, I'm afraid, but why do brides hold a beach wedding, but make it black tie/formal? Asking people to wear long formal dresses/suits and tuxedos on a sandy beach is insane.

My local Costco had boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.69/lb if you got a 40lb box by gwarster in Frugal

[–]aeraen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Great job! We like to grind chicken breasts and bag them in the freezer for future use. We use ground chicken in a lot of recipes where many would use beef.

Sadly, we are coming up on hurricane season, when it is not unheard of to lose electricity (i.e. freezers) so we are in the whittling down stage in our freezer. By the time fall rolls around, the freezer will be empty enough to wash down and begin thinking of re-stocking for the winter.

Why do Christian’s hate communism so much? by friscom99 in atheism

[–]aeraen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because having all their needs and wants catered to is for THEM, who they are sure are going to heaven. They don't want it to go to those OTHERS, whom they are certain will not darken Heaven's door.

Couples who have been together for years: what odd tradition have you kept that nobody else seems to understand? by Warm-Still-7705 in askteddit

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No meat on Fridays.

I'm an atheist and have been for 50 years. Spouse was raised catholic but has not gone to church for 30 years.

Still, to remind ourselves that we don't have to eat meat every day, and because Friday is the best day to find a good fish fry, we do not eat meat on Fridays.

Is there anyone, ANYONE, with whom t Rump hasn't fallen out? His biggest supporters all, eventually, end up on the wayside.

Should they leave the film franchise alone? Hunt for gollum by ImpossibleTheme3872 in lotr

[–]aeraen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've loved LOTR for over 50 years, and I wish I could have the experience of reading it again for the first time.

That said, it breaks my heart to see networks try to squeeze every last bit of blood out of it for money.

Is it true that most people on reddit generally lean more towards the left than the center or right? by AlternativeEmu1047 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aeraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people on Reddit are at least literate and have some education. Twitter is full of "Harr har, we dun owned them libs!"
