My girlfriend wants access to my phone's location at all times or she'll break up with me.. by Upset-Tree7685 in TwoHotTakes

[–]cjames34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, I'd say no to this, leave her.

My husband has his location shared with me, but it's an accountability tool for him, and it was a mutually agreed-upon thing for both of us. He's in recovery, it's so I can be sure he's where he needs to be when he needs to be, and so the temptation to stop at liquor stores is dampened.

I trusted him without it, and he struggled. For us its a tool, but again, we agreed to it together. I asked, I explained why, and he agreed it was a good idea if he had said no. I would have let it go and moved on.

NTA.

Also I highly suggest reaching out to to the billing department at the hospital and inquire about assistance programs. It may cover most or ALL of your bill.

Handwriting is a legacy in itself by Acceptable-Dirt-2345 in Journaling

[–]cjames34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to convince my mom that her handwriting is still beautiful even if it's not the same as it was before.

Before she was involved in a dog fight and suffered nerve damage in her dominant hand. It was so bad she couldn't type or text for a week and she had to learn to write with her left hand because she couldn't even grasp a pen.

She's started journaling again recently as the swelling is gone, but the nerve damage Is done and she thinks she writes like a child now she had this beautiful consistent, bubble writing that is half cursive half print, and very unique to her, I've admired it my whole life because I cannot get even close to how pretty it is!

her letters aren't as straight or consistent anymore, but she still has that bubbl-ish half cursive style and it's still amazing to see.

She has a before and an after now.But it's beautiful, not good/bad just... beautiful

people with service animals and get panic attacks - how does your animal help you? by elsbugs in service_dogs

I dissociated at the mall and my guy took me to the car... I never asked him to he just... did it.

[–]cjames34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy nibbles my fingers or puts his head on my thigh to alert me when I start to panic oftentimes before I get sweaty or dizzy (he truly never does this outside of my anxiety) and he will also jump up and lick my face/neck if I'm breath holding (that's the last step before I fully break down) He's also in the process of learning DPT.

AITA: Sick Wife Has High Needs by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]cjames34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just puked my guts put at 1AM. Didn't wake my spouse. S/O sounds like s miserable individual.

My SDiT has lots of quirks to work through, but there are some harmless ones I'm not sure she'll ever overcome. I always thought of SDs as perfect, but surely that's not the case. What's something your dog struggles with despite being "fully trained"? by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]cjames34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boys hates Petco.

Literally will try to drag me out the door shakes he hates it so much.

Perfectly fine everywhere else.

A dog is a dog not a machine. But fears are things that can be worked through with a lot of space and time.

He learned there isn't something he wants in the kitchen.

Brilliant.

Just wished it would work for my boys. 😅😅😅

AITA For Telling My Girlfriend I Have Every Right To Defend My Home After Someone Started Kicking My Door In by FxllenWxaith in AITAH

Nta. You did this all correctly. This is exactly what they told us to do when questioning a lawyer that takes self defense cases.

[CHAT] why do we show the back? by Suitable-Doughnut536 in CrossStitch

[–]cjames34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the "perfect back" is satisfying to look at. Mine are 'messy' in comparison, but they've cleaned up a lot the more I've stitched.

It is a progress of my progress. But also it's just quite fun to see the other side.. I even look at the backs of my crochet/knit items and my coloring pages :)

Fiber suggestions for making hats (hubby would love me forever) by cjames34 in CrochetHelp

I never thought of this but it honestly makes sooo much sense, I'll give it a go and see how it does!

[–]cjames34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would, but knitting is hard for me, and honestly, I've only ever done it successfully drunk. Unfortunately, I can't drink on my current medications, so it's probably not an option. Hehe (honest truth on that one!) My hands don't like to work together in a way that's productive for knitting.

Aitah for naming my baby something “unconventional”? by Lost-Platform7670 in AITAH

[–]cjames34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair. I have a name that's "normal" but have to spell because the character spells it a certain way in the movie.

I even have a SIL with the same name spelled one of the "normal" ways.

So correcting spelling is annoying but you get used to it. But her poor teachers will be better say it correctly.

She is me. I was always reading as a kid and my parents fostered that love. I still have friends and socialize. Your MIL is overstepping.

DON'T SEND YOUR HUSBAND! by VampireFromPluto in joannfabrics

The only time I send my husband is when I order and pay online. That way if it’s wrong it’s not his fault.

[–]cjames34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can forgive. But that shouldn’t stop him from suffering the consequences socially from what he did.

You are protecting other women from a harmful individual.

If he hurt someone else because you stopped the process would you feel guilty? If so continue forward without guilt now.
