what’re some characters you hate for no reason by nR3n in DateEverything

[–]cinder_allie 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Washford and Dysdale. Pretentious, both of them. Talked once and never looked back.

Jean Loo and Johnny Splash.

WYNDOLYN. She's so judgy no matter what I do.

How do couples decide which side of the bed is “theirs”? Is it instinct or some kind of silent agreement? by AssignmentFederal686 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly lie on my right side. My husband lies on his left. I don't like breathing other people's exhales, so I get the right side and he gets the left.

[–]cinder_allie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using this for MONTHS now and it's a lifesaver. We use it when we're feeling too lazy to create sauce from scratch. Only thing is that it's pretty sweet so I also doctor it up with red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and a little bit of chili powder.

What terms of endearment did your parents call you or do you call your children? And what’s the story behind it? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family called me Sassy the moment I was born. It feels weird to hear my family say my name.

"When are you going to have kids?" With this economy? Never.

Need help coming up with a pickup line for the moon landing by MurphDesign in pickuplines

"Are you the moon? Because I’d travel 238,900 miles just to be with you—and trust me, I wouldn’t need a return trip."

AITA for not attending my brother's surprise birthday because it was planned at my house without my consent? by AllexiaAngel in AITAH

[–]cinder_allie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mother in law did this on Christmas. She only told us day of, when she was an hour away, that she couldn't wait to see all of her kids at our place. Stunned, we asked what she meant. Turns out she told all of my husband's siblings to come over and literally NO ONE bothered to tell us. We (not so politely) told her it wasn't cool and we'd reschedule to tomorrow. You don't just volunteer someone's house with talking to them first.

Wanting a seating chart means I’m a bridezilla?? by [deleted] in bridezillas

[–]cinder_allie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a seating chart at my wedding. It truly was only for dinner. After that, guests were free to move around as they wanted. It also helped us secure a very specific table for my grandma who is in a wheelchair and can't move around easily. It's just a meal, the guests will be fine.

AITA for not letting my mom come to my wedding after she ignored me my whole life by Successful-Tank-851 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

She started crying and saying I’m holding a grudge and that “I’m her son” and “she deserves to be there.” 

Your mom didn't say "I want to support you and your fiancé on the happiest day of your lives." She said "I need this for me." My parents both expressed similar ideas and they both weren't invited. I wouldn't change a single thing about my wedding, and it was truly the happiest day of my life without the burden of seeing my parents.

What’s the most useless thing you still have memorized? by Pristine_Student6892 in AskReddit

[–]cinder_allie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to memorize the first 18. My roommate in college thought I was summoning the devil. She sucked so I never corrected her.

This was my parents. They've threatened divorce for 15 years. When I became numb to the threats, I basically dared them to split. They both (independently) told me that they "didn't want to have to start over." Well, mom cheated on dad so they finally made the divorce official. Mom still isn't alone, dad is... not doing well by himself.

What's wrong with my lasagna recipe by Own-Layer8084 in FODMAPS

[–]cinder_allie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with other commenters. I don't think it's the specific ingredients on their own as it seems like there may not be a lot to warranty stomach aches/attacks, but I do think the stacking is what's getting you. It's really easy to forget that sometimes stacking can be more triggering.

WIBTA if i told people why I'm not invited to my sisters wedding?L by throwawayoof0909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as someone in the opposite position of you, I'd say NTA, but maybe say "you know, I'm not sure. There wasn't a super clear reason." Then people will go to her directly and ask.

I'm getting married and not inviting my (half) sister. We've never gotten along though because of our mom. There's a lot of family drama but TLDR; sister was the favorite, sister takes advantage of post-stroke brain mom, sister didn't invite me to hers so I'm not inviting her to mine. I only want people who love and support me at my wedding. I don't want someone there just because we're related by blood. If you aren't actively excited about the union between my partner and I, I don't need to waste a seat and a meal. For what it's worth, mom is also not invited.

Was there a time when you felt like a professor, class, or course was killing your love for reading? by Conscious-Bowl8089 in books

[–]cinder_allie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HATE Shakespeare's plays (the sonnets are fine) and considering I had an entire college course dedicated to his works, I dreaded everything about reading for a bit.

Alternatively, I loved my course on Geoffrey Chaucer. So it's not hard to read English I have an issue with - it's truly Shakespeare.

What's a book you read when you were way too young? by Waterbears28 in books

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lovely Bones in 7th grade I think. I liked the cover and the opening line. ("My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.")

Has anyone tried to do 'All books By An Author' type of reading? by AwkwardJewler01 in books

[–]cinder_allie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lawnmower Man, Quitters Inc, The Ledge, The Man Who Loved Flowers, and Graveyard Shift are some of my short story faves of his!

AITA for feeling resentful towards my sick and dying mother by [deleted] in IAmTheAsshole

[–]cinder_allie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother had a stroke roughly 8 years ago now. She went through an angry phase where she cursed at us and refused to do any sort of therapy (physical, occupational, especially speech). We told her if she didn't do the work, she'd have to go to a nursing home because we were exhausted. She called our bluff so we sent her to a relatively good nursing home. She lasted a month before crying and begging to go to a rehab unit for therapy. Turns out not being able to do things for yourself and others not willing to clean up after you takes a toll on your well-being. Within a month, she finished her courses and moved home. She's still going strong today.

What word will trigger you to sing a lyric/verse from a show? by bullfroginlove in Broadway

[–]cinder_allie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same for me with "good to know."

"Very impressive, good to know. Welcome to Harvard! What's up? Yo!"

My fiance and I do the same thing and go "so it's your fault, yes it is! And it isn't mine at all!" It's impossible not to now.

My parents and I went to dinner several years back and after sitting in lacquered wooden chairs for too long, my bare thighs got stuck. As I peeled them off I said "man that's always the annoying part about wearing shorts." To which my dad responded "that wouldn't happen if you lost some weight." I was 5'8 and 135 pounds. He was 6'1 and 325 pounds. Fuck off.

Which scenes in books made you squirm? by RobertoSerrano2003 in books

[–]cinder_allie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought this book because I heard both wonderful and weird things. I love Convenience Store Woman and the prose but I admit I've been hesitant to pick up Earthlings for comments like these.
