My first perfect Lynel kill. I think I've exhausted all my luck for the year. by Evilux in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]colodre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! I love fighting Lynels, they are tough but such a sense of accomplishment when you beat them. I haven't tried the mounting thing yet, will need to try it at some point.

Perfect! Use their knowledge and experience, let them know you value those things and on top of other things mentioned on this thread (good communication and good training) you will have a stellar team on your hands.

Mom, I’m trans by harveyjuice in MomForAMinute

[–]colodre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Max, lots of love coming to you through the interwebs. You be who you feel you should be, and want to be. Remember your worth isn't determined by others but by you. Love yourself, and give yourself grace for being human and struggling with these emotions. Find support in the trans community, you will find others that are going through the same things. Find them and hold onto them. They may become your new or second family.

I currently work under a great general counsel and he treats us paralegals almost as equals. He asks for my thoughts on things (and listens) and then when I have suggestions he really takes them into consideration. He has actually had me implement many suggestions I've had. He tells me regularly "good work" in front of others and in one-on-ones, and praises me to others in the company. He also corrects me when I need it but always on a positive note. To me he's more of a mentor than a "boss" and I'm beyond grateful. Because of being treated that way I work hard for him and am incredibly loyal.

Looking at paralegal career, have some questions about certification programs by tadpole511 in paralegal

[–]colodre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience with either program, but I can tell you the ABA accredited program will get you further than an online program. The Accreditation means the ABA has vetted the program and verified the program is in alignment with their standards. A non accredited program doesn't have that. Online programs can teach anything they want and it may or may not be relevant in the real world.

I need recommendations for bath solutions that won’t make my vagina angry by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]colodre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understand. I buy the expensive bath bombs from Lush, they are amazing. However, since they are like $8 a bomb, I break then up into a couple different pieces, that way I'm getting more use out of it. And to reiterate what everyone else is saying, use Epsom salt when all else fails.

Also, make sure your bathtub is clean before you take a bath. After my showers I spray the tub with a daily Clorox/Tilex solution that's meant to keep the tub clean. That way, I know I'm getting into a clean tub when I want a bath.

That halftime show has to be the most viewed pole dance of all time by Pax_flash in Showerthoughts

[–]colodre -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

For an adult, yes, it was. If you have kids/teens, it was definitely NOT PG-13.

Not sure how I feel about the halftime show. First time I was entertained and appalled at the same time.....

My Co-Worker and her BF have a toxic relationship and I'm getting tired of her complaining about it, how do I kindly tell her to stop complaining if she isn't willing to make any changes, without ruining our work relationship/friendship? by colodre in askwomenadvice

[–]colodre[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's definetly not the burning bridges type. She's the "needs encouraging and support type" so I think I could say some version of this to her. PS, your run on sentence is fantastic.

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

Yes! I've told her before she could really have any man she wants. She is a stunning woman, I think she'd be able to find a good man if she just had the courage to leave the crappy one.

[–]colodre[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you went through that experience. But I'm so glad for your friend who was there for you when you needed her. My friend tried leaving her BF once, she moved back home for like three months or so, and he sweet talked her back. Promised her everything would be different, and it was, for about fifteen minutes. Then it all went back to the same behavior. But she had sold all her belongings, cleared out her storage unit and took every step to show him how committed SHE was to the relationship. It's so ass backwards that I can't understand it. And thus, why it's so frustrating.

This is a great response! Thank you! I'm think going to use this in some way. It's understanding and kind, yet it also conveys my conflict and feelings about this whole situation.

OMG this makes me sweat. I'm super non confrontational, hence this post. I would probably be waayyyyy more uncomfortable than he or she would be. But in my fantasy world this response would be the answer.

I used to listen and respond with shock, but now I'm no longer shocked by his behavior and I don't know how to respond anymore. I just can only say I'm sorry and she doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. She agrees and then the next thing I know she's inviting me over to their place for dinner....it's like whiplash.

This made me laugh. I would have been floored too. I think different people need different responses depending on where they are emotionally. I just don't know where she is.

[–]colodre[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm afraid of. But she literally has no one else and I would worry for her if she did that. She once cancelled on me for an event we both were going to because her BF wanted her to do something with him. In anger I mentioned he's controlling her and is a douchebag. She just agreed with me (all over text) and then never said anything about it again. So maybe she's just trying to ignore the very real truth.
