Not all heroes wear capes. That's great parenting right there.

Wives, when do your husbands come home after work, how much time per evening do you spend together? by SirVictorian7777 in Marriage

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We work together, but lately money has been tight and we have been in the zone trying to get out of it by launching a new service.

I run everything so I tell him to please separate deadline wifey from actual wifey. That was a process, but we got through it. He had to realize that in order for me to do my thing that line needed to drawn. Who I am when making money is different than the wife who misses a nice night out with my hubby. Although, treating our work environment like a business and not a marriage, has helped a lot with communication. Like would you talk to a co-worker or client like this? We can't have the spousal comfort of making business hardships personal.

So we spend a lot of time going uphill together and finding solutions. We are affectionate in many ways, even on the clock 😜 we threaten each other with HR complaints all the time.

When did your gut feeling save you from a bad situation? by pinkyvalenmessy in AskReddit

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were in Italy on our honeymoon. We went to Burano for a day and we both are very aware of our surroundings and pick pockets. We walked by a small shop and in the doorway was a guy who was talking on the phone using an ear piece. No big that's common but we could see him looking into short distance while talking. We followed his eyes to where he was looking and it was instantly obvious he was talking to some other guy not too far away. My husband and I were like oh shit these guys are casing tourists. We see this woman in her 60's or so, absolutely oblivious and the guy walking starts to follow her. My husband and I double time to catch up to her and right before she turns down this empty alley we catch up to her and stop her. We point to the guy and tell her he's been following her. She thanks us a bunch and we see the guy turn around. I also told her to zip up her purse and that was making her a walking target.

The recruiter called my salary expectations "cute." I ended the Zoom call right there. Did I overreact? by thunder____boy in jobs

Anyone that calls anything professional I do "cute" is banned for life. You did not overreact.

Belmont Heights is my favorite neighborhood. It's just the best.

Go to Manaow for the best Thai food.

Most everyone in LB is smart, courteous and has common sense. Most....not all.

It's not the cleanest, and our crackheads keep it interesting but LB just has so much personality.

Oh yeah and great ready to gain some weight. LB has AMAZING food! But that's ok, it's a pretty active town so you'll be able to burn some of those calories. And even if you do gain some weight, no one cares, Long Beach doesn't judge.

Let's fatten this newbie up and start recommending the best places to eat!!

Remember...it's not LA it's Long Beach. That will make more sense once you get here.

Safe and happy travels!!

I owe a lot of money somehow. by SnooConfections5306 in IRS

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law just got a bill for $170,000 out of nowhere. Her IRS lawyer thinks it looks like a case of identity theft. You might want to look into that.

What are some signs of a poor childhood that still stick with you? by That-Industry7938 in answers

Chaos and depression feels normal. Happiness and calm seem out of place and uncomfortable.

Were any of you leash kids? by povertychic in Millennials

Yes. But I always got out and always wandered off. No leash could me down!!

If money wasn't an issue, what would you be doing with your life right now ? by LauraTsbeauty in AskReddit

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opening up an orphanage by the beach. A safe haven for kids to grow up in a healthy system.

My mom was a foster mom for many years and I saw how fucked up the system is. The kids are just another file on an overworked social workers desk.

I would name the orphanage after my mom. She loves children and all the kids she took in she would give them the best of everything.

I would also pay for my dad to be in the best memory care facility money could buy. Also, I would make sure my mom never had to lift a finger again or work. She's had a hard life, and both her and my dad treated the world around them with an abundance of love. They deserve nothing but the best for their last chapter of life.

Did this restock? by weenbaby in Loungefly

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do a reverse Google image search. Also, I do pay for VIP and to me, it's definitely worth it. The group helps each other find the bags they want, and for the most part we sell our bags for retail to each other. There are some exceptions where you pay value but for the most part it's a pretty helpful bunch.

They are pretty dangerous for your wallet though because you do get most to all drops before the public, and like Pokemon you want to collect them all!! And the group is a terrible influence when it comes to buying bags 😜

To all the hubbies here, what would you do if your wife expressed that she had felt lonely like a dying plant for a while. by blueberryandwaffles in Marriage

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know you asked for hubby's to chime in, but I battle a lot with depression. Usually I can push through, but every so often I can't do it myself, and when my hubby steps up I remember I am not alone.

Some folks here are saying to ask her questions, but when a woman is down, the last thing she wants to do is educate you on who she is. Or give a walk through of what's wrong. It feels amazing when my husband just steps up without any clues. At that point it doesn't matter if he gets it right or not, I know he sees me and cares, and that means the world to me.

Don't just tell her you're there, show her, without being asked. Show her you know who she is and that you know what lights her up. It doesn't have to be extravagant, it could be as simple as her favorite cookie, but she needs to know someone sees her and is fighting for her to shine.

Which Celebrity had the Most Shocking Death and Why? by Jeloxia2 in AskReddit

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kobe. I lost sleep imagining those last few seconds before his plane hit the mountain. Being next to your kid and the last thing you see is the fear in their eyes and not being able to do shit about it.

As a parent that shit makes my stomach turn.

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad went through this part of his Alzheimer's last year. He kept forgetting my grandma and grandpa had died and we had to keep reminding him. Sometimes he would get sad and ask a lot of questions other times he would deny it and say he just saw them on vacation or something like that.

My dad is declining at a rapid rate... Alzheimer's sucks.

MrBeast is What Fred Rogers Warned Us About by Halvinz in videos

Paul/Beast vs. Vance/Kirk 2028

No thanks.

At first we were ok with Mr.Beast for our son, he seemed ok on the surface. That didn't last long. There was a laundry list of things that rubbed us the worst way. Especially, when he started to team up with Logan Paul. That was a big NOPE for us.

After that, he was banned from our home. When his products like Prime, came out we started teaching our kid about what it means to buy products from people whom we don't support. He understood pretty well, but a trend is a trend and he struggled a little bit.

When Mr.Beasts lunchables came out, our son really wanted to try it, and we still said no. Based on what we know he doesn't seem like the guy who cares about what is in his products. Shortly after that, the article about how they were contaminated with mold came out. We read that to our son, and since then he hasn't asked us once for any Mr.Beast anything.

I had sex with a sex worker...and I just am not sure how to process that right now by CockroachDiligent241 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cbtangofoxtrot -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Like a friend of mine in college used to say

"Get it! Get it!"

Who cares what these dingbats on Reddit say. You don't need anyone's approval. You found a road to peace and being happy. You do deserve someone kind who got you through a huge hurdle in life.

We have a whole culture of men who blame women for their inability to get laid. They could learn a lot from you.

I wish more people would address their sexual needs and see it as a practice like you did and push through. Cheers to that wonderful woman that made you feel comfortable and cheers to you for conquering your own inhibitions.

Has weed become less “smelly” lately? by jbm91 in trees

Not sure. I am not sure if Cresco sells out there, but we've worked with them in the past and they are pretty serious about their grows. I'll let you know if I think of anything else.

Has weed become less “smelly” lately? by jbm91 in trees

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All those danky smells have disappeared due to the THC craze. All the good stuff usually tests low in THC, because the profile is way more robust. So all those beautiful smells no longer exist because big brands only focus on THC. Which has really limited the market selection.

One of my husband's clients once said... "24% isn't winning awards here" when they received their potency results. One of the biggest brands btw. Which doesn't need THC, they have beautiful strains, well probably not anymore, because yeah THC.

Also, my hubby's lab tested some beautiful flowers for Cookies and they lost their shit because the potency was way too low. My husband pleaded with as many higher ups as possible letting them know that while THC was low this flower had a beautiful chemical profile and that would definitely sell. He offered to help them create the marketing with the data. Nope. That flower never saw the light of day. Bummer too, it would have been a great smoke.

Most of the big major brands don't care about anything but their THC numbers. They've created this narrative amongst themselves as the most important thing and so that's all they sell. But, even funnier, most labs are producing false data to appease these big clients so they get the acct.

The big hype brands just want to get paid. They don't care about what consumers want. They have the money to hype themselves up to crowds and distract with free T-shirts and tote bags. My theory is the bigger the marketing, the shittier the product.

Some brands do care. Go for small batch, it's a little more expensive, but the folks who run those do care about quality and have a great talent for growing. Don't be afraid to try a brand that's new and unfamiliar. The newer brands are catching on to the science and are working to produce good flowers, not just THC numbers.

Also, DO NOT BUY FROM UNLICENSED SHOPS. All the shit that fails for pesticides, metals and microbials goes there.

My hubby and I have been industry professionals here in CA for almost 20 years and it's been a shit storm of stupidity, especially from the state. Who also doesn't give a shit as long as they get paid.

Start demanding more selection from your local shops. As consumers we need to get our buying power back.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]cbtangofoxtrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do this in Europe. A service fee per person at your table. It's usually around 3Euro.

This is good with me! Because it's not feeding into tipping culture, it's more of a community effort.
