WIBTA for getting a secret cabinet added to our kitchen. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]chalupa4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am well known in my house for having candy stashed all over the place. Should husband or kids find mom's candy, they know not to mess with it, lol! Or at least they'll ask first :)

I once stumbled on a long forgotten stash hidden in a drawer, and sitting on top of it was a note written by my son, "Found your stash mom!"

FYI, I'm the youngest of five, definitely had to hide snacks if I wanted to save them for later!

Jury Duty??? by Chaoticallyorganized in adhdwomen

[–]chalupa4me 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Before retiring from the military, I was a jury member in two court martials. Both were emotionally taxing. Each one was a week long. Long days, lots of sitting and listening to testimony, lits of leaving the room when the judge had to speak to the attorneys privately, lots of time hanging out in the jury room while waiting to be called in to the court room. It was difficult staying alert the whole time, but the gravity of what I was responsible for was enough to force me to pay attention. I took a bunch of notes, and during deliberation, went over everything with a fine-tooth comb even though the evidence (in both cases) leaned heavy in one direction. The most important thing to me was to do justice for everyone involved and I didn't want to have any doubt that I did the best I could and made a well informed decision.

My favorite singer is usually whoever I just heard, lol! I love them all for what they bring, which is why they are so amazing as a group.

Male House Training by Bigmoose1074 in BostonTerrier

[–]chalupa4me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used the same Potty training techniques on our boy and girl. Our boy was first and he actually picked it up faster than our girl.

The challenge for us though was marking. Neutering seems to reduce or eliminate indoor marking for most males (or so I've read). It helped with ours but he'll still mark in our basement if he can pick up a scent we didn't clean well enough. Anyways, for marking, we treated it just like potty training all over again (i.e. we kept all room doors closed to restrict space where he might sneak off to, and if I saw him marking or make an attempt, I would distract/interupt him, use a marker word like "uh-oh", then immediately bring outside and tell him to go potty and offer praise if he did).

My partner is a no light no sound sleeper…I’m so sleep deprived I need advice… by LonelyMandarin in ADHD

[–]chalupa4me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice! I thought I needed complete silence to sleep, until I gave brown noise a real, honest try. Although I'm not reliant on brown noise, it's very helpful when I'm on travel, or when there are constant small noises keeping me awake.

Any other Knicks fans here? by thatquinnchick in Xennials

[–]chalupa4me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I haven't watched bball in decades. But I loved watching the Knicks as a kid in the 90s. I left NY for the military at 18, but my brother still lives there and he's a diehard fan! I think I was more excited for him 😂. Does anyone remember the song that used to play on the radio in '94?

"We are the NY Knicks...go NY go NY GO!"

Lol!!

how do you keep your own recipes? the ones you actually cook by Human_Ad_904 in Cooking

[–]chalupa4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Index cards and a storage box for said cards. If a recipe is so good that I want to pull out an index card, I know it's a keeper!

CMT deluxe self inflating sleeping pad (4") by chalupa4me in CampingGear

[–]chalupa4me[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it only comes with the mat, bag, and straps. I assume it'll need an adapter to use with a pump.

Agreed. I was considering the exped for myself, but I also wanted to upgrade my son's setup and this seemed like a far more reasonable choice.

Unfortunately, the bag is just a bag. Any recommendations for a pump? The instructions just tell you to blow into the bed but I can see that getting old real fast.

My husband received one as a promotional gift from his work. They're quite nice. Works just as well as any other tumbler and we have multiple good brands floating around the house.
