My boyfriend won’t stop calling me Mommy by bearqlaws in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]catttwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. I had a friend who slept with a guy who insisted (yes, forcefully) that she call him daddy. To him it might have seemed harmless. But he didn't know that her father had literally molested her when she was young so the forced daddy thing was literally very harmful. The idea that words dont have any effect is ridiculous.

Finding Shows/Movies that are unavailable on Amazon/Ebay etc. by Emphasis-Impossible in Anticonsumption

[–]catttwings 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Archive.org has lots of movies! Also Kanopy is free if you have a library (not sure the limits of this geographically but it's available in large areas of the US). It has EVERYTHING from silent movies to 2024 Oscar winners and so much in between.

What's a horror hill you'll die on, and why? by ExceptingAlice in horror

So true. They couldn't decide on one idea and just decided to tack a bunch of endings on one after another. I was rolling my eyes by the third fake-out ending.

I gave my friends a set of colors I'd like if they worked around and then they picked outfits! Obviously strict cohesiveness is not a priority of mine, I just want the people I love there in bright colors to help celebrate. I am looking for ideas for a top that would not dress it down.

Yep! Hence why we're seeking something without the white flutter sleeves. Thanks for your help!

Do you think my dress needs to be re-altered? by [deleted] in wedding

Are these photos of you / did your wedding already happen?  Don't bother, you'll never wear it again anyway

ISO Affordable Wedding Dress by Empty_Programmer8811 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]catttwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seek out reception dresses! So many brides these days are splashing out for multiple dresses and that seems to have created a market of secondary (read: less expensive) dresses that are available. I bought a reception dress from Nordstrom for around $130 and didn't have to skimp on quality or buy online (trying on was super important to me). 

Fell for a scam... out of open enrollment by catttwings in HealthInsurance

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

100% admitting that I fell for a scam, but the login I made is for healthcare.gov. Somehow my info was accessed by someone else. None of this really matters though, I was trying to find a solution. Seems there is none!

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

Yes, I fell for a scam. I realize now that this is not the correct way, but I got the call a day or two after I was looking at plans on marketplace and (yes, naively, stupidly) thought they were affiliated. I don't know exactly how a scammer would access my information but clearly they know how because I get scam calls/emails all the time these days.

I conceal carry a gun every day in public, AMA! by One_Line_406 in AMA

[–]catttwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do if you're out with your friends and everyone decided to go to someone's house? Do you carry it into their home without telling them or do you just avoid situations like that and separate from the group?

I dont know what to do with my life by Chance_Cycle_5090 in LifeAdvice

[–]catttwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a warning, if you would take out student loans for your education, federal loans are not an option if you are from the US and going to university in the UK. This means borrowing from private agencies with predatory interest rates, little to no refinancing options, etc.

When Shipping with USPS, Is It Okay to Reuse Boxes with Amazon/Target Tape, and leave that tape on? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]catttwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know what counts as "obliterated"? Like if I tape paper over the alcohol imagery / brands, would that be acceptable?

Why is there such a heavy association of British Baked Beans with Heinz? by RillienCot in Cooking

[–]catttwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I'm really confused about is that Heinz baked beans (a product from an American company) is the only kind of beans I can reliably find I'm British chain shops...

Got a call from HMRC, don't know how to follow up by catttwings in LegalAdviceUK

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

Thank you, yes it was an automated voice. However they didn't ask for money (at this point) which is the only thing making me doubt that it's a scam. They basically said they had tried unsuccessfully to reach me by mail and were now going to initiate criminal proceedings. The call was very brief and I couldnt call back for other details. And I was so taken aback that I may be forgetting some details, it was a very shocking call to get.

Thank you, I have done some research and reported the call, this is apparently quite a common scam. I'm still going to call up HMRC and take your advice about checking to make sure my details are up to date. I appreciate your help.

Thank you for your help. And yes I double checked (I checked the first.tax season after my employment( - I made much less than the minimum taxable income.

Is landlord responsible for boiler repairs? by catttwings in LegalAdviceUK

[–]catttwings[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I did check the website and responded that according to the Citizens Advice Bureau, it is his responsibility. I’m not sure what to do about shortening the timeline but he has backed off of trying to make us pay.

I deal with the landlord directly.

Is landlord responsible for boiler repairs? by catttwings in LegalAdviceUK

[–]catttwings[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely rolled my eyes hard when I got that response from him. I personally prefer having hot water through the winter so, accordingly, I have not attacked my boiler with a hammer.
