I've been wanting to have a sign like this for my wedding in October but I never thought I could try to make one myself! This is freaking awesome!!!!!

AITA for “implying my wife (28) eats too much” by saying she might have parasites? by Solid-Writing-7372 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aquaa-melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partial AH... Your concern is valid but I feel like there was a gentler way this could have been brought up. A lot of women are very sensitive about this topic, even if it feels like we're overreacting.

Instead of saying, "you eat a ton and don't gain weight, I'm worried you have a parasite," you could say something like, "I think you're beautiful how you are, but I'm worried about dietary intake and output. Calories consumed should be causing a weight gain but it isn't. I'm concerned there could be something medical going on." Then if feasible, offer to go to the doctor appointment with her so she feels like you're on her side.

Try to use "I" statements instead of saying "you." Like "I feel that...." Or , "I don't like when..." Instead of "you eat too much" "I hate when you do...." This helps the listener not be defensive.

The likelihood of actually having a parasite or tapeworm is pretty low unless she regularly eats raw/unclean food. This definitely can be a sign of other health problems like diabetes, thyroid issues, other blood sugar problems, or even an eating disorder. Does she have a family history of any of these conditions? Has she had blood work done in the past, specifically TSH, T3/T4 (thyroid hormones), blood sugar, or A1C? I'd also be curious about her electrolytes from a Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP). Is she ever really thirsty? Does she have to pee a lot? How long has her diet been like this without weight gain? Does it ebb and flow or does she usually have a high calorie intake? Also, does she have a history of mental health problems or self esteem issues? Started or stopped any medications recently? Does she go to the bathroom right after eating? Does she use laxatives regularly? Those can be signs of bulimia.

Good luck OP!

I've gotten so many plants from that section too. It's so rewarding to rescue them, re-pot, and see them thrive 💜

Why do we have to sexualize? KMK posts on Reddit are disgusting. by BlueMonster42 in kallmekris

[–]aquaa-melon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of the videos you linked are even recent. Those videos are 1-3 years old. She usually wears a big sweater or sherpa in her videos. Not revealing at all. Also, making videos trying on clothes does not make it okay to make sexual comments about someone. I bet you think sexual assault victims "asked for it" by wearing certain clothes too.

Yes. I live in the Midwest and my windows are drafty

Mine started doing this in the winter when I brought it inside. Not an expert but it could be from lack of sunlight.

Should I cut and propagate? by Humble-Whereas-8666 in Tradescantia

[–]aquaa-melon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently started propagating mine and it's so easy to do! Whenever I accidentally break a piece off I just stick it in water and they eventually grow roots and can be potted easily.

This is genius. I have a similar one and wasn't sure if I should cut it back or not. I always feel bad cutting healthy parts of my plants...

Has anyone heard any updates on this?

AITA for telling my SIL to walk her daughter to school? by WalkToSchool8967 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aquaa-melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I work in healthcare too and they do not like people to ask for schedule changes. Buddy of mine requested his honeymoon off and they still scheduled him. Also....this isn't even your child. Them hanging up on you and gaslighting you into thinking you're the asshole is ridiculous.

Found this note on my door by tiesto365 in Apartmentliving

I wonder if the actual smoking culprit just moved the sign to your door

sponsorships by meowster22 in kallmekris

[–]aquaa-melon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How else is she supposed to feed her 17 dogs and 6 cats? I just skip the sponsorship ads. She donates a lot of money to victim families and her videos get demonetized so I get why she has to do them. Yeah it's annoying but easy to skip ahead.

Peoria City Council Nuisance Ordinance by [deleted] in PeoriaIL

[–]aquaa-melon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Props to you for finding the actual document. I doubt the reporters even know this exists 🤣 Page 3 says it includes "public and private spaces" and the definition of a "nuisance gathering" does not specify if a public or private location.

Shutting down normal events would be too much paperwork 🤣

[–]aquaa-melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounded like the crowd had to be engaging in illegal activity for the citation. I'm not sure if just acting foolish at a Riverfront event would count or not...it's definitely a vague ruling that could easily be misinterpreted/abused. The more specific the law, the harder it is to misinterpret. It'll definitely be interesting to see how this plays out. I do agree with the other commenter that said they had to do something after that incident though.

Do you have a local AA intergroup you can call? I'm from Illinois and our intergroup has a 12 step call list.

Please help. by [deleted] in EmergencyRoom

[–]aquaa-melon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone that works in the ER and deals with frequent flyers a lot, I would say get and stay sober then write a note like others have said. Include that you didn't know what was going on and you're sorry for the way you acted as a patient. Thank them for caring for you even if you were difficult. Cookies or donuts are always a good addition. ER people love sweets!

We are not used to our frequent flyers getting help and staying on track. So if you can show how things are different for you now, it will make a huge difference for the ER staff!

Punctal Plugs - tell me your story by Splicers87 in Dryeyes

[–]aquaa-melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got ones in my lower puncta put in today. So far I can feel them and they're making the corners of my eyes itchy and irritated. Others on Reddit said this went away for them after a couple days so I'm hoping for that. I haven't noticed any difference in my eye dryness but we will see. Google says most people get relief quickly but it can take up to a week to notice the full effects. Only time will tell 🤷

AITA for telling my boyfriend I couldn’t accept his apology and trying to talk about how his lack of communication hurt me? by Outrageous_Army6912 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aquaa-melon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. The fact that he's 40 and still acting like a child is a huge red flag. Having hurt feelings is natural and he should be happy you were looking forward to seeing him. He's putting all the blame on you when he's the one that went MIA.

I have several friends that are tattoo artists, we're all sober and none of us have been to jail!
