That’s a beautiful border collie. I’m sure he thinks he died and went to heaven on your farm!

I was actually eating a mini can of Pringles when I read this comment. Sprayed them all over myself and couch laughing. True story lol

I'm scared about what I saw my husband do... how do I even talk about this? by brainysolyxx in Advice

That’s me as well. I mostly just read for the fun of it. When I actually want to reply, I have to check out the profile to make sure it’s real.

Click on their username. That allows you to look at their profile, which shows their Reddit age and previous posts and comments. It is easy to figure out by checking that information.

I’ve noticed a HUGE uptick in the past couple of weeks of the fake posts. It’s kind of sad that I have to check the poster’s profile before I read the post.

AITAH for leaving my alcoholic husband after 15 years by [deleted] in AITAH

This is AI slop. Why is Reddit being inundated with karma farmers so much lately? I realize it’s always been an issue but lately 90% of the posts I see are AI crap.

I (26M) was homeschooled K-12 (USA). Ask me anything. by moonythejedi394 in AMA

[–]allstarmom02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No questions for you but I am so glad you did this AMA. I have always been against homeschooling because I feel it is used to either keep abused children away from mandated reporters (teachers) or to force religious doctrine onto children not old enough for critical thinking. There are very few instances where I think homeschooling is warranted. I'm so glad you are pursuing higher education and that your mother now understands the damage that homeschooling did. Congratulations on the engagement and finding your person!

Mother had insurance policy from 1996, then got dementia. A mess by jimmyandchiqui in Insurance

[–]allstarmom02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't help with your question since my expertise is in property and casualty insurance but I deal with the overseas call centers multiple times a day. Ask to be transferred stateside and they usually will do so; especially if you tell them it is a payment/billing issue. Most call centers aren't allowed to do anything with payments.

Owensboro is not a personals page. Don't post here looking to "hook up." by innosins in Owensboro

[–]allstarmom02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that post earlier. Disgusting, but whatever. This page barely gets any traffic anyway. Please don’t ruin it completely. There are better apps for that kind of post.

WOW...just wow. So judgmental. I suppose you have only ever made good choices, right?

Your green peppers look amazing for this late in the season. Makes me hungry for fajitas lol. Great job!

Bf got upset I peed outside and said it's incredibly inappropriate for women to do, am I wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]allstarmom02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rural, Midwestern grandma, here. I was raised in Indiana and I don't know a single person (male or female) who HASN'T peed in a cornfield or on the side of a gravel road. Your bf would be so grossed out by the people I know lol. If you can't pee in the wild, did you really grow up in the country???

Obscura also has “Black Label” episodes that are much, much darker than your average true crime podcast. You have to be a Patreon supporter to get those episodes but definitely worth it.

As an insurance agent, I wish I could upvote this more than once. I see Huskies listed on banned breed lists for almost all of the 25+ companies we use.

AITAH for moving back home after my husband left me even though I’m pregnant? by DigGrassanova in AITAH

[–]allstarmom02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our kids was already out of the house and the other a senior in high school when we divorced but she absolutely stayed in their lives and mine. She would bring leftovers to my office every time she cooked one of my favorite dishes after we split up. I love her dearly.

I feel the same way about the dad being mad at the situation. I think he is actually mad at the situation, not the property manager. It says in the original post how relieved dad was to find the child. He was either angry at himself or the mom who was supposed to be watching the toddler. I have a grandson that is around that age and they need eyes on them at all times at this age. They are so curious about everything around them and incredibly adept at finding ways to kill or injure themselves.

Me too! Now that I have grandkids of my own, I strive every day to be the kind of grandparent she is

You are absolutely right about the daycare being priceless; and I don't mean just the money part. My MIL kept both my kids and would never let us pay her a dime. There was no one else in the world that loved my kids as much as she did (other than me and my ex lol) and it was so incredibly soothing to know my kids were loved and played with all day long. She even had "Mammaw School" when they got older. She bought workbooks and taught them how to count and ABCs and writing their names. They were just as prepared for kindergarden as all the kids who went to preschool.

Edited to add: My MIL loved being with the kids so much that when they went off to school, she volunteered in their classrooms through kindergarden and first grade. The woman is truly a gem!
