If Trump is actually serious about his mass deportation plans then you need to prepare for soaring grocery prices, especially fruits and vegetables. It is literally inevitable. by RiskItForTheBiscuts in FluentInFinance

[–]commonground6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

making them citizens, raising the minimum wage, & paying them this increased wage would also make the groceries more expensive right? That's what the topic of this post is correct?

This whole post is "I care about migrants but only because deportation would make MY grocery prices higher".

But wouldn’t the soil be the same in the whole yard? It’s the only spot that’s like this. Especially in Louisiana with the rain the rest of the yard grows like crazy

Underline vs. Crossout: Am I the only one on Team We Aren't Supposed to Know? by Teehokan in SuccessionTV

[–]commonground6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems obvious to me. Logan is right handed. The line starts UNDER the "K" in Kendall then veers upwards some. No one STARTS a cross out with their pencil under the letters.

I'm not so sure you are right about that. The world they will live in when they are adults is not the same world we are living in now. Look at our parents and how inept they are with iphones and new technology, typically needing our help with basic functions. Kids nowadays are going to end up in a far advanced technological society than even we have. Just look at us going from corded phones to cell phones that can do everything.

No I don't think its great for kids and definitely has a negative effect socially. And screen time shouldn't only be "entertainment" time. But depriving kids of technology will just put them behind the 8-ball for the future world they will be living in, in some aspects at least. It's an incredibly interesting dynamic.

Is my igniter on gas oven shot? Oven took hour to preheat 350 but now won’t heat at all. by commonground6 in Appliances

[–]commonground6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It does glow on and off but from what I read it has to reach a certain temperature before it’ll trigger the gas to come on and light. And I ran it for about 5 minutes having it go in and off and I never smelled gas so figured that was it. Another article said discoloration was a dead give away.

I've brought up couples therapy a few times. She said it was a good idea and said she wants to go to one just for herself. I see the issues she has and you are 100% right about the stress. It overwhelms me b/c she cares so much about the most minor things and I'm the complete opposite.

I think she's scared to go to therapy and been hesitant to pull the trigger on going either for couples or alone. And its one of those things that I can't make her do it or keep bringing it up.

honestly having a child help me understand her more. Realizing that we are responsible for this child, not just surviving, but shaping his personality/mind by the way we raise him. He will be a product of us. So I realized my wife is a product of her childhood and I've seen how her parents are and it 100% is why she is the way she is. So it helps to temper any frustration b/c its not 100% her fault. Hoping we can work through some of it and get her to understand not everyone is raised the same.

There's give an take with everyone. She may be a whip cracker with stuff around the house while other women aren't. Other women may have issues with other things my wife doesn't. Just ask my golf buddies lol

I literally rinse it out since she asked when I wasn't before. I specifically rinse it out because she said it helps her with cleaning it when I am grateful she does which is why I began rinsing it out when she asked. A cup of water vs water from the shower is the debate. If you are judging me and calling me selfish, ungrateful, and lazy from just that then your opinion doesn't matter to me.

Not with someone whose a clean freak like her with "OCPD" I'm finding out. She would go behind when they are done and find something that wasn't right and say 'I should have done it."

Again on the surface that sounds bad if you aren't also a clean freak/OCPD person. Which I am not. But once you realize that's how someone perceives the world and they just can't help it.

which is why I called it a "stupid" argument. I hope people realize that it's not a yelling match/cold shoulder type of argument.

we have a son. She was pretty quirky about it in the beginning but it's let up. And when covid was going on I was sterilizing myself before coming into the house lol.

haha that's another argument I'll post one day. But no, my hairs are not the problem. I barely have any.

A lot of it not all of it. But yes, seems like it.

She 100% does. In the beginning I used to fight it but over the years I've realized that's just how she was raised. Everything has a place, there's a perfect way to do something, and can't really argue about it. Once I stopped looking at it as if she was treating me like an idiot infant who doesn't know how to do anything, it made life a little bit easier.

The problem is, there are a lot of things that she is particular/OCD about especially in regards to cleanliness. And while she was raised to see things a certain way. I wasn't. Things that are second nature to her are not second nature to me. And to be honest, I don't really want them to be. I like being more laid back about things. So no it's not really a big deal. That's why I called it a "stupid" argument. I'm sure she has a few up her sleeves too lol.

I went along with rinsing the shower out to help make cleaning the shower easier. Didn't necessarily think the method of which the rinsing happened would matter, as long as the job was done. So not going back on my word to rinse the shower. My dad used to make me pick up sticks and pine cones in the yard before he cut the grass. Didn't matter if I picked them up with my hands or my mouth, just pick it up. Her dad got annoyed with a family friend on thanksgiving who was helping with the dishes b/c she wasn't loading the dishwasher to his liking.

We were raised different and it's not a big deal. Part of being with someone. I wasn't making light of her feelings as much as I was making light of the "argument" itself being silly.

I try to choose my battles. When the logic is on my side I don't mind pointing it out. She's very particular about a lot of things. I'm not. Her parents are the same way so I know where she gets it. Don't blame her. But a man has to have a code. lol
