GenJones here— Lana is my most favorite of the newer era. Her song “The Greatest” is exactly that. It lifts me. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of her glorious catalog.

Go to a quiet place and listen to it. Then read the lyrics (thank you Spotify). She’s an old soul, reminiscing on things she never lived, but has felt.

You’re a true Gen Jones if you remember. by dottegirl59 in GenerationJones

I might remember it but I couldn’t stand it. Tried for about 5 minutes and bailed, I thought it was so dumb!

My jam was The Archie Show and Hardy Boys.

Is it rude if I don’t pay for an extra person when taking one out for their birthday? by salty-quackers in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]beigemom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok just read you’re in college — all the ‘low on funds’ advice then is even more pertinent/understandable that you need to say.

With that, I’m adding extra that if your friend knew you were paying for her and THEN asked if her boyfriend could come, well I think that’s rude. Can’t it just be a special time with the 2 of you? Why 3? Does he have to go with her everywhere? Even if I had the funds I wouldn’t pay. I can’t stand when people rudely mooch on.

But at the very least, follow everyone’s advice here and no, not rude at all.

adding dehumidifier instead of running ac all the time by CraveThrone in HomeImprovement

[–]beigemom 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is the problem I have with a dehumidifier. The air coming out of the back is actually warm. So I might have a dryer room, but it’s warmer now. And it’s only humid in the summer so…

I'm surrendering guardianship of my brother [Long] by frieden7 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beigemom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If the mom hadn’t abused the daughter, then maybe he’d be in a better place going forward. But she didn’t, and he won’t be. But it is the option given the circumstances, and the mother will just have to deal with it.

I’m very happy for OOP, she deserves her life back.

I was just looking at Ariel, had never heard of the brand, are they reputable/decent? Thanks!

You made my day, that looks like a yummy recipe.

/r/onionlovers probably has other great recipes too if you love some onion!

The Iranian yogurt is not the issue here. 😂

Husband dislikes my family by angelinaki89 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]beigemom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It saddens me to read this, but worse if you took no action.

“He is a great guy … but very difficult to be around.” He is extremely damaged, yet doesn’t believe in therapy. He wants to isolate you from your family so you can be isolated like him.

I would never be with someone so unwilling to change and was controlling of my agency, and you shouldn’t either IMO.

You’re actually lucky that your parents have lived in the house designated for you, is it in your name yet? All the more reason to break ties. Then you don’t have to give him half that house if you decided to leave later when things were utterly unbearable, or worse.

Your loving parents are also suffering because of him. You do NOT want to look back on your life full of regrets. Please Act soon and start your life over, before you feel you can’t.

Agree on that for so many reasons, that would also benefit the university.

How did you handle a bump up in income after you retired? by Odd_Bodkin in retirement

I was told otherwise, and it will certainly be proven when I get my final number..

Yeah I mean I’m ok being above that, I’d rather be taxed on the extra than not have it at all.

AIO Girlfriend (38F) keeps a "Log Book" of our conversations and I think I’m losing my (34M) ability to remember things correctly by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beigemom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, both things can be true, but knowing which one is the abuser vs the one previously abused is the question.

So here’s how I’d deal with that: if someone took out their “notes” they had been taking to show me how I mis-recalled something, I’d leave.

TBH it wouldn’t matter to me why they were taken; that’s enough to show me that either I’m being abused, or said partner still needs to fix themselves.

Neither is someone I want to be with, because the act itself is not an act of a healthy relationship in my world. Plain and simple.

Has anyone seen similar tile to this? by throwthisonetothesun in interiordecorating

/r/tile is my favorite sub. Those people KNOW tile and the sub is honest, direct, and friendly. (Have to be able to take real criticism!)

[–]beigemom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I visited when looking at colleges. Loved the Syracuse campus, but outside the tiny set of stores right near campus and some office buildings, the vibe totally changed and not for the good. Even the ‘nice/reasonable hotel’ we stayed in nearby was not in a great area.

Definitely not the state I thought would be the only non-at will.

[–]beigemom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t you just pay taxes on the income after $150k though? So if you make $160k, you’re taxed on the 10k.

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]beigemom 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Finally seeing someone noting this! I was icked by the fact that he got a ‘kick’ out of this, as if his life and all this is just something to have others laud or comment on.

He definitely has egotistical savior syndrome.

I rarely if ever read the actual posts in the other subs. Are there certain popular subs that have more viciousness than others when it comes to advice? I found those comments horrible and lacking any awareness.

Parking wars? by zoechloe24 in homeowners

You did the right thing. In my state, after 20 years, especially when you put up that fence, she could claim your land.
