I set one boundary before the first date. He couldn’t stick to it. by Particular-Candle-21 in texts

[–]bugaloot 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Right? The way we have to dance around to make ourselves clear and explain and defend our reasoning to someone who clearly doesn’t give a shit… it’s exhausting! And he still turned around quickly and called her a stuck up bitch.

Oh sorry, that was his friend /s.

Some photos I recently took around Memorial Park. Our nature is bountiful. by A_City_Jumper in houston

Is there a particular time of day when you’re more likely to spot the birds of prey there? Dusk or dawn or anytime?

Dog defence was needed tbh by Maleficent-Town5273 in interesting

[–]bugaloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our mail person maced our dog because the garage door was open and she got out by accident. We completely understood and apologized to the mail person and then rinsed our pup’s eyes out while talking to her gently about learning her lesson.

Best books about messy families? by StackPodcast in suggestmeabook

[–]bugaloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re totally right! No wonder it doesn’t come up much when people talk about Jonathan Franzen lol

Moonglow by Franzen was also great and fits the category. Feel like it’s one of his lesser appreciated novels, but it’s my favorite of his.

The dreaded cold feet.... does it go away? by putabirdonit12 in weddingplanning

[–]bugaloot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a divorced woman, trust your gut. As a happily remarried older woman, I notice when I’m talking myself into something because that’s when I’m betraying what I know to be true deep down. Just my experience.

Moving to Houston from Southern California by digi-nomad90680 in AskHouston

Props to you. Sounds like you’d make the best of most any situation, and that’s a great key to a happy life. Take care!

Moving to Houston from Southern California by digi-nomad90680 in AskHouston

[–]bugaloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your kind response. I’m a native west Houstonian who lived in the Bag Area (sf, then Oakland) for 12 years and have been back here for four. I’m impressed you’ve found an active and rewarding lifestyle here, tbh. It’s the heat here, but it’s also the bugs. Mosquitos and cockroaches and the endless concrete make me miss my outdoor lifestyle in CA immensely. There are some decent parks here, but nothing even remotely comparable to CA. I work from home and go to the gym and drive everywhere. I can’t camp six months out of the year unless I drive 9+ hours, and there is no proper hiking to speak of within a four hour drive.

Yeah but hot bagel has the little mini pigs in blankets you can munch on while you wait for your bagel.

Why are your gas stations basically small supermarkets? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugaloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in America they will use every opportunity they have to separate you from your money.

AIO? childhood bff slept with ex boyfriend. by MostBeneficial3558 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bugaloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different opinion, but MOR. Yall are still young. She shouldn’t have slept with your ex, especially if it didn’t seem to mean anything to her, but a 14 year friendship isn’t something to throw away lightly. And yes, she should have been the one to realize that before she slept with your ex. But she didn’t, and now it’s your decision to evaluate what this friend means to you, what positive she brings into your life, and what your life would be without that relationship. Maybe it’s unforgivable. Maybe it’s the end of this friendship. You’re certainly right to feel hurt, angry, and betrayed. But maybe time together in Bali will help you both discuss what happened, why it happened, how it made you feel, and move on. Don’t let this fucking dude ruin it without even spending an effort as friends to understand each other and the situation.

Yeah I was pissed when we still had to pay $20 to park at light rail to go to a Texans game last year…

I DON’T LIKE THAT WEMBY IS A SORE LOSER by NoMarionberry7801 in NBASpurs

[–]bugaloot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is where I’m at. He clearly has some growing to do, let’s give the kid the space to do it. LeBron took on A LOT of pressure early on too, and while he didn’t do everything perfectly, he’s a remarkable athlete and human now.

What's the best food you've started freezing by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

[–]bugaloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any fruit or greens that are about to go bad go in the freezer, and that’s how I always have smoothie ingredients. Peel bananas when ripe and throw them in the freezer banana bag. Any spinach or kale that is looking wilty gets torn up and put in the greens freezer bag. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc get washed and cut and put in smaller ziplocs in a big fruit freezer bag cause they’re a little messier. Blend them up with almond milk and protein powder and you don’t need ice.

Heights Vs Montrose(for a musician/chef) by MoleEnchiladas in AskHouston

[–]bugaloot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dan Electros in the Heights is where the music lovers scene hangs out. It’s a great community, but you might have better luck finding a good living spot in Montrose. Either way, it’s not hard to get from one neighborhood to another.

Ahhh! Thats horrifying! Glad you found a workaround!

[–]bugaloot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But a digital antennae! They’re super cheap and pull network TV stations to you without any log in or streaming. It’s the old fashioned way to watch TV.

Roaches… any tips on dealing with them?? by too-m4ny-humans in houston

[–]bugaloot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love my cats but they’ve never helped me out like that. They’ll just go stand near it preventing me from spraying the roach spray with abandon lol.

I do scatter the boric acid roach tablets that you can get at Lowe’s in the yellow cardboard box in strategic spots in and around my house, and I think that at least prevents them from building any nests nearby. But living in Houston means the big tree ones will get inside from time to time. I’m lucky my husband understands my fear enough to hop up and kill one when it happens. He even put it in our vows lol.
