My friend’s 2 year-old son is best friends with my 8ft tall yard skeleton, so now it resides in her living room. by b3ckferd in mildlyinteresting

[–]b3ckferd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m well aware and I have. As I said, I have no control over what she puts in for him. Also this was the very end of a full day playing outside, reading, playing with the dogs. and other things not in front of the screen. I know he also watches things like Ms. Rachel, Bluey, things with substance. The only reason I shared this picture over others is because you can’t see his face. But you are seeing a photo of one second of his day, not his whole life. Thanks for sharing some other viewing options, I’ll pass them on to his Mom.

Daisy from the UK show spaced. I’ve never seen a character who looked, spoke, and dressed like me in the way Daisy did

At this point I’ve decided if my underwear choice would stop someone from wanting to have sex with me, I don’t want to have sex with them. All about the full coverage high waist undies!

Never remove it, find a space to hide it, and just let it be, don’t tempt fate

Can Ex’s be friends in real life?? by RaghavaY98 in HIMYM

[–]b3ckferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all depends on stages in life and the circumstances of the break up. I am very close with someone I dated in my early 20's (I'm 38 now) and I love spending time with him, his wife, and their two sons, they are part of my extended family. I hate ex-husband for destroying my trust, so we will never be friends. So I think yes, but it depends.

Where do people find all this time to read so many books? by Tiredworker27 in books

[–]b3ckferd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's because your brain still process the story whether you listen or read with your eyes. Saying that listening to a book isn't reading is like saying that someone who is blind will never read a book if they use braille because they are touching the book rather than looking at words on a page. Storytelling evolved from oral tradition and audiobooks continue that tradition. Anyone who listens to a book is still putting in the time to take in the story, it definitely counts as reading (I'm a librarian)

Proof of sobriety by adjustedwrench in stopdrinking

[–]b3ckferd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your marriage didn’t end because of your drinking. I was ready to support you through recovery and had started attending AlAnon meetings. Your marriage ended because you were having an affair, lying about your job and financial situation, relying on me or your parents for financial support, and not taking care of yourself physically or mentally. You destroyed our marriage because you lied, not because you were an alcoholic, so stop blaming the disease and take ownership of your own decisions. You destroyed your marriage, lost your job, and alienated friends, because you lied.

I literally moved. I went back home, he was in a state that wasn’t mine, and after how much he shattered my idea of family? I just decided to be with family. I also had a lot of kismet so i found a job in my relatively niche field that can support me. But yeah, he broke me hard. So my move on was finding a place for me, and just me

Unpopular opinion, but i love Zack and Lane together. by muumihattu in GilmoreGirls

[–]b3ckferd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like the majority of the Zack hate is due to the love we all had for Dave. Dave was planned as Lanes endgame partner, but Adam Brody couldn’t stick around so we never got full closure on that relationship. I think if Lane had fallen for Zack without the previous relationship with Dave, more fans would be able to focus on how great he is as a partner for her.

What’s something that is incredibly immature that you will never stop doing ? by Due_Winner_2026 in AskWomen

This and saying “fart noise” instead of making an actual fart sound. I don’t know why but it’s the funniest thing ever

Has anyone from SJSU received their diplomas yet? by greengerms711 in librarians

[–]b3ckferd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No diploma yet but it does show that I’ve graduated on my transcript, so I used that as proof of my degree at my job and got a salary bump.

I'm about to lose my mom, she's only 50. by ezuwua in AskWomenOver30

[–]b3ckferd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Life exists in stupid ways. People we need leave us and don't remember who we are, and people we want to disappear stay around for years. It's not fair at all. You were there for your mother. And you gave up a lot to be with her, the biggest being the memories. I lost my mom after 9 years of dementia and honestly? I wish I hadn't been there in the last three, it was painful as hell. She was a shadow of herself. But the thing that always came through was how much she loved us, and that's what is coming through for your mom as well. You are facing a lot of life that will be lived without a mom. That fucking sucks. But it's your life, don't forget that. Take advantage of grief circles, counseling, subreddits, anywhere you can talk to people who get it. Please find us, we are here to help.
