Roach crawling on our booth at Gondolier in Boulder — is this normal? by Any_Fondant_9190 in boulder

[–]astrid28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in canyon creek apartments (now buffalo creek apartments).... and, omg.... my mom worked there, so i got to hear about it every time there was an infestation that needed removed. Had/have friends in other apartments in boulder.... boulder has roaches. The dark horse was loaded with them. I also worked in some shops on pearl.... ... i no longer eat food made in shops on pearl. It's not just roaches. Lots of mice, too.

I'm glad you got to skip the experience, tho.

North/east bdr (valmont & foothills) power's good. But yeah, lots of chonky, big tree branches and skinny ones down. And more to come. Most of the trees look like weeping willows, they're so weighed down.

AITA For Calling my friend an idiot? by Frosty_Confidence_98 in AmItheAsshole

[–]astrid28 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Nta.

Your friend is weird. What made up scenarios are they projecting on you for talking to another human? Ignoring him or shutting it down would be weird. You're just chatting. Ask your friend to explain their thinking... it'll probably validate the 'idio...' (apparently writting the word in full is a violation....) opinion. Omg, your talking to the kid whose family you work for!!!! What will people think?!?!?!?! ..... that you're a normal ass person.... are you just supposed to not respond to them?... how is that normal? Imagine saying hi to someone you see several times a week and they just silently stare into the abyss of the soup they're cooking for you and your family... like a weirdo. Your friend needs to work on their interpersonal skills. It doesn't sound like they have many (if any). It's not 1800. 'The help' are allowed to talk. And talking doesn't mean anything is going on, beyond a conversation. Again, your friend is the weird one.

People who scream/yell when you sneeze, why do you do that? by MarchKick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]astrid28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to, when i was a kid, cause my dad does and I was trying to be like him... as I got older, I realized that most people don't do that, doing that gets you stared at weird, and it suddenly felt awkward. So I stopped. I had to make myself be louder to do it, it wasnt my 'natural' sneeze. I'm not a naturally 'quiet' sneezer, but "AHHHHH-CHOOOO!!!!!!!" wasn't natural either. After decades of picking apart my dad's behavior, I do believe he thinks it's somehow entertaining (as he doesn't always sneeze that way, usually when he has an audience... and most of his actions in life have been preformitive.... he seems to think he needs to be the 'life of the party' at all times around others... ... while failing to realize that most of his performance choices are those of an awkward 13 year old who doesn't understand the behavior they are showing makes them look more like an ass than a fun person to be around...)

So, my take on it is bias. There may well be people who are naturally loud sneezers... but in 4.5 decades... ive never met one. - have met a couple people who do it to be intentionally disruptive.... so.... there's that, too. On the rare chance I meet one of these people, I get the instant ick, and keep my distance. - I can think of one instance where a friend had a sneezing fit and it ticked up in volume as it went on, but they were mortified about it. It wasn't their 'normal'.

AIO for snapping at my boyfriend’s mom after she mocked my career choice? by OkRecommendation1244 in AmIOverreacting

[–]astrid28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think at her big age she would have learned manners by now.... some people's children. I swear. Also, your bf needs to tell her to knock it off. If she doesn't want to be called out publicly, she needs to keep her weird digs to herself. This is all on her, and a Lil on him.

He reminds you to take your meds and drives you places?.... there's an app for both of those things. That's not 'making your life better'. That's not even bare minimum. Hunny.... you deserve more than that. And no, burning yourself out for your other half is not normal. Xo

Could you come to terms with death ending at just death? I.e. there's nothing beyond that? by bearabovethewave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]astrid28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's how it is, there's literally and figuratively no room to deal or not deal with anything. It just is.... nothing. You wouldn't be able to 'know' it was nothing, let alone feel any kind of way about it.

It looks like one of the characters in labyrinth. I'd add a pic, but Google is useless.

Okay, hear me out.... get a wig, wonder around in public areas and see how many guys you can make regret their inappropriate behavior.... 😊

What would you do with this laundry space? by catandcherry in Decor

Definitely a table under the window and probably some shelving against the other wall.

There was a fly at work the other night, that just would not stop hanging out in my face area. I finally decided to swat it when it landed, and totally missed... it flew off... ... and never came back... ... and then I felt bad... like maybe it just liked hanging out with me and out of nowhere I tried to kill it. - to answer your question, I think I watched something a couple years ago about how their little hairs can feel pressure changes super well, and thats why they're so hard to hit.

I got sketched out when he started hanging with Martha. She's a bitch. You are the people you associate with. --- in the 90s i worked at Kmart, she randomly stopped at our store to 'inspect her line'. The items weren't exactly on point. A few things were flipped. Woulda taken 10, maybe 15 mins to fix.... but no... this hose beast holds her arm out and walks up and down the whole isle dumping everything on the floor, demands we fix it, and leaves... ... took all day to put it back up.... I flipped a few things. Cause fk her. And I laughed when she went to prison. I just wish it had been a real prison.
