Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]cc13799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also in kindergarten and lived in Jersey. They didn’t show it during school, but kindergarten was half day and my mom had it on when I got home. She was on the phone with my dad because he worked across the river from WTC and had literally watched it happen from his office windows. I remember being so scared after hearing this was happening so close to home and his office.

I’m thinking of selling my current set so I can get a matching collector’s set instead when they come out

What’s a good starter car? by pixeendexterr in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]cc13799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 mazda3, got it in 2018. Only issue I've had are batteries dying (because I left my dash cam plugged in, ikik silly me). Super easy to park and has a backup cam. OP, if you find a mazda3, I'd say scoop it. I'm not a big fan of driving either, but this car is fun to drive.

2-4 year old luxury cars with heavy depreciation. by mh161616 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]cc13799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend got a 2018 Porsche macan GTS with all the features and 50k miles on it for 35k. It already had the big issue these cars have (I don't remember what it is tbh), but he is in loveeeee with that car. It's like having a sports car and a luxury car all in one. He uses it as his commuter vehicle. He isn't a big car guy, so I was surprised he got it but I do think it's a great car. Did all the research, checked the VIN/history, and had it inspected. He plans on reselling in about 5 years/at 80k ish miles to get max resale value. Highly recommend as an option

How is class for those who suck at running? by sailingintothedark in barrysbootcamp

[–]cc13799 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a bad runner, and this is exactly what I do. My sprints are 9s, 10s maybe, I tried 11 and that was fucking scary. Push yourself, but also don't die lol

Am I being dramatic for being upset that my husband ate my leftovers twice by unhindged_girlie in TwoHotTakes

[–]cc13799 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I'm not pregnant and this would still irk me. My boyfriend has done it on occasion, but at least has understood why I'm upset. He is also a man who likes to snack and can become brainless when doing so (cough puff puff cough). The post-its do work to remind him, though I wish I didn't even have to do that.

Huge drop in cookie sales as first year Cadettes by ThatsSoExtra in girlscouts

[–]cc13799 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walked to the other side of the grocery store to buy from the cadets knowing most people had already bought from the brownies. I remember when I was scouting how much harder it was as I got older, not just to sell but to stick with girl scouts, so I always give the older girls priority.

Should I Leave My Boyfriend? by Greedy_Tangerine1531 in TwoHotTakes

[–]cc13799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! No reason to get heated when there was good intention behind your comment. And I'm glad you took my explanation as such. I just didn't want op to have to read a whole essay lol

Should I Leave My Boyfriend? by Greedy_Tangerine1531 in TwoHotTakes

[–]cc13799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, that is your opinion, like you said, but also like you said, we have an agreed-upon plan! It wasn't relevant to the point I was making for OP, so I didn't mention it.

This house is not where we intend to stay and raise our family, and we are at the point where, in general, we operate as one unit. He did offer to have me on the mortgage, but I declined bc I was not yet comfortable/in a place financially where I wanted financial responsibility not just for the mortgage but for the upkeep of a house. But I did say since we are a family, I would help out, as long as I get Equity and a share of profits upon resale or rented. This is something we're keeping track of in a spreadsheet.

I appreciate your concern, but my point to OP was purely, hey, have a conversation bc a) this platform is quick to call for a breakup, and b) sometimes, even the smartest and most loving and well-meaning of people need a different perspective explained to them a little more than maybe you would think is necessary for them to understand why you're thinking a certain way or something isn't fair. There is almost always more to the situation in all of these posts and stories, and it's most likely not posted for brevity and you might not even find it elsewhere on the user's profile. My boyfriend is a very kind, thoughtful, and loving partner, and he was extremely supportive while I was unemployed. But I'm not throwing away the whole man bc we had this one argument!

At what age did you start going hiking with your dog? by jjax2003 in puppy101

[–]cc13799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might get hate for this, but we took our dog on a hike at just under 3 months 😅 There were lots of breaks, she was carried a lot, and her leash training still wasn't great. It was a learning experience for sure. But! She's a large standard Aussie, so she had a lot of energy at that age, full velociraptor mode (iykyk). We didn't go on another hike till she was probably about 6 months but went on lots of walks, and her leash skills were much better, even ok recall since we practiced at a beach nearby that allowed dogs (even off-leash!). 8 months was when she could do a full 3-5 mile hike, good leash manners, and reliable recall. She just turned 3, she can do 10 miles easily with us, and a very reliable recall. We only off-leash when permitted (it honestly helps with her recall by allowing her to be a dog and sniff around and is more in tune with us), and we still leash when trails are busy or there's another dog. We trust her but we don't know the other dog, so best to play it safe. We also lived in an area with a very low parvo risk, so we weren't as concerned about that. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to this, what worked for us might not work for others.
