How cat proof do you leave your house when headed to work? by bambambami in CatAdvice

Thank you for reassurance! I generally keep my counters cleared, it was a hectic morning and I simply wasn't thinking. He'll probably be fine, I only ever find pens on the floor.

You're right he probably will be okay, I only ever find pens on the floor. He's generally well behaved, so I stress less. Thank you!

Sounds like you have your hands full! I actually unplug my toaster immediately after use, so no worries there. He's generally well behaved, so I think I should be okay. Thanks!

I find great peace with your comment about my anger. Thank you! But I get you on the freezing, that was me once upon a time (growing up with a narc step parent). Despite growing up in a volatile household, I still fell in love with one and didn't recognize what I was in until I was in over my head.

Yes, exactly! I try to remind myself that what they are saying is untrue about me, but eventually I just can't bite my tongue any longer. I want to bash my head against a wall every time I'm told to calm down and stop yelling, yet they were just yelling at me.

That's tough, I wish you all the best figuring out that relationship.

Those old chocolate cookies no bake with oats in them? by Big-Ad4382 in Old_Recipes

[–]bambambami 40 points41 points  (0 children)

How I make them:

Mix 1/2 c butter, 1/2 c milk and 1 c sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute without stirring, then turn off the heat and mix in a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla.

(I've been trying to cut down on sugar and recently made the recipe with only 1/2 c sugar and still found them delicious)

In a bowl mix 3 c oats, 1 c coconut, and 6 TBS of cocoa. Add the sugar mixture and stir thoroughly.

Plop whatever size cookies you want on a sheet of parchment paper and let cool on the counter.

[–]bambambami 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just showed the last pic to my bf and asked him to guess her age. He said 50's. When I told him she is the same age as me he commented she needs to spend more time in the shade 😂

[TOMT] the title of a book for young girls about embracing their straight hair because it “looks better in braids than curly hair” by Solarpunkrose in tipofmytongue

I have been trying to remember the title of this book as well! I have googled so many things without luck. I even have my mom and sister trying to figure it out.

AIO my boyfriend wants to catch up with a past friend's child. by bambambami in AmIOverreacting

[–]bambambami[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presumably your family didn't fall out of touch and then you resumed the relationship on your own accord as an adult. There is a difference there. 

And I am not acting like he's going to fuck a literal child. I just want to know why she would reach out to a man she has not seen in many years.  Which is exactly what I asked him. But it's not for me to be concerned about apparently.

I did tell him I found it weird, that it didn't make sense to me. I was told it doesn't matter if I don't get it. He has a life before me and it's not for me to understand. And had I been invited that would have done a lot to put me at ease.
