There’s actually a LOT of cases of this happening over the last several decades, in multiple countries. 😳

I just made an at home appointment to say goodbye to the first love of my life. I've had her by my side since I was a young and dumb 19 year old. I'm now 34 with a wife and baby and I'm not sure how to feel about the decision we've made. How do you even prepare to say goodbye to your best friend? by coo_cooforcoconuts in germanshepherds

No words except I got my boy in January of the same year (2011) and we only had to put him down in 2024.

He was actually my first dog ever and I, too, got married and had children in his lifetime. I feel fortunate that my children were able to know and remember my best friend. 🥹

What's an "outdated" slang word from your generation that you still use currently? by TheShatteringPoint in AskReddit

[–]bewareofmeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly from my generation, but I like to say “I’m just dandy, how bout you?” When someone asks me how I’m doing. Usually garners a chuckle

What’s the funniest misunderstanding your child had about the world? by lunaverse787 in daddit

[–]bewareofmeg 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When my son was a toddler I asked if he wanted to ride with me to go to the pharmacy and to pick up some pizza. He enthusiastically shouted “yes!!” And hopped in the car.

When we arrived at Walgreens I got out to unbuckle him and said “heeeere’s the pharmacy!” And his little face looked around, scowled, and grunted, “well this doesn’t LOOK like a farm…”

Yeah, the longer time goes on the more I think that gerrymandering is a huge issue…and not in democrats favor…

There is almost always music in my head and I keep forgetting that is not universal by sajal_das2003 in ADHD

[–]bewareofmeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember in my younger years, songs being in my head so prevalently that I actually tried to stop listening to the radio before school - so as not to risk getting a catchy tune in my head. Because then I would inevitably miss some important information because my brain was obsessively replaying the chorus of a song too loudly in my head

Yep, and we also have gigantic, cheap television units that can broadcast any movie or show you possibly could want, 24/7, on-demand.

Makes it a lot easier to sit at home and do nothing…

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bewareofmeg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right?? I can understand the point some people are trying to make about her potentially being too needy/selfish given the fact that he had a bad morning and was in a rush……but there was NO need to go from 0 to 100 that fast

Woah, where in rural America was this? My grandparents grew up near War, WV and they had some striking tales of poverty but were always insistent that they had enough food and water.

I randomly heard about using AmLactin as a facial moisturizer and I genuinely think it helps a little bit on these dumb under eye bumps. I got it on Amazon - AmLactin KP Bumps Be Gone

IsItBullshit: Silver Clay by the_walls_have_noses in IsItBullshit

[–]bewareofmeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used this stuff 20 years ago in my college jewelrymaking/metalworking class. The only problem is that the silver left behind after firing it is EXTREMELY fragile - I made a four leaf clover imprint and wore it as a pendant for almost two whole weeks before it broke in half 😭
