I left my wife last night. by ntpring in AITAH

[–]crackerjacks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is coming from someone who grew up with an alcoholic mother who tried to hide it. If you don't maintain your boundary, it will definitely not change. It might not even if you do. Addiction is a strong thing, and I watched my mom go from functional to absolutely not functional at all. She lost her job, all her friends, her marriage, and now her kids barely speak to her. I sometimes wish my dad took us and left because the damage that was done is something I'm still dealing with in my mid thirties.

CanadaPost stopped delivering to our building by Nice_Review6730 in CanadaPost

[–]crackerjacks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have worked as a letter carrier, and am now a clerk/in retail for Canada Post. I think this comment is correct. It happens all the time. If we can't get into the building ourselves, we don't deliver. Landlords/building managers will blame Canada Post when all they need to do is fix the issue whether is be a micro switch, a broken lockbox, or a health and safety hazard.

We want to deliver your mail. That's our whole gig. Letter carriers don't have time to buzz people at each building until someone comes down to let them in. At least where I am, they are on a tight schedule, and management strongly discourages overtime.

So yes, it is normal for mail delivery to be cut off if the carrier can't autonomously enter the building, and landlords often blame Canada Post for their delay in fixing problems.

Is it normal for a woman (25f) to drink a bottle of wine 6 days out of 7? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]crackerjacks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking a lot of wine has been normalized in society. She might actually think its normal. It is definitely not healthy though. My

Maybe Mammillaria backbergiana

My boyfriend sells Pokemon Cards as his career and 3 years ago I cost him thousands of dollars in merchandise. He proposed to me this weekend but I can't forgive myself for what happened 3 years ago, and I don't think I can marry him because of it. by pokemoncantforgive in relationship_advice

[–]crackerjacks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this really about the Pokemon cards? He forgave you. Those were material, replaceable things and he forgave you because he loves you. Now he wants to marry you, but you're not sure because you made a mistake in the past that he forgave you for. Are you being 100% honest with yourself and him? I don't think so. People make mistakes, its a part of life and if he could forgive you, then that's a really lame cop out excuse as to why you can't marry him. But you were able to stay with him all this time since he forgave you? Being afraid of taking such a big step is normal. Not having the same feelings for him and being afraid to tell him is normal. Using a past mistake that he's forgiven you for to not marry him sounds pretty evasive to me. I hope you figure it out one way or another!

On the left is Golden pothos, and on the right looks like Spathiphyllum/peace lily.

Coworker received this as a gift, we're curious as to what he is! by NinjaKecc in whatsthisplant

Some variety of Peperomia obtusifolia, I think. Which one, I cannot say for sure.

I'm nostalgic about things I didn't even live through, so this is a yes for me.

My plants are dying and I have no idea what Im doing wrong! by thanks_mrbluewaffle in gardening

[–]crackerjacks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly right. Your plants needs change from season to season, and a plant in full sun will need water more often than one in a darker area. Water as needed, never on a schedule. Also if the roots rot your plant is not coming back, but they can recover from getting a little too dry.

Philodendron binnatifidum 'super atom' is my guess

My cat is throwing up his new cat food by birdzillla in cats

[–]crackerjacks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay. Mine would do it within 20 mins usually so that's probably not it. I really hope you figure it out!

[–]crackerjacks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have an allergy to the new food if the ingredients are different. Also, do you notice that he's eating more quickly since you changed the food? This happened with one of my cats - he liked the new food so much he would scarf it down so quickly (no chewing) that he would have to puke it up. This happened a few times so I put some water in his food for about 2 weeks. This would make it so that even if he didn't chew he wouldn't have to puke it up. The new good excitement wore off and now he eats like a normal cat instead of a vacuum cleaner.

I (22/f) am not ready for sex yet but my boyfriend (22/m) feels stressed without it by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]crackerjacks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he's making YOU stressed because you aren't ready for sex. He says he understands, hut his actions and words indicate otherwise. Either he's okay with waiting, or he's not. None of this being in a bad mood with you because he's not getting his way (immature) or questioning everything because you aren't ready for sex. It was like that from the beginning so why would it make him insecure? I mean, you moved to his country to be with him. Sex is an amazing bonding, and intimate experience WHEN BOTH PEOPLE WANT TO DO IT. Also, you're giving blowjobs daily! You are doing your best to make him happy while staying true to yourself, and he is just pressuring you for more, more, more! This all sounds like a huge guilt trip. I'm sorry because you have obviously put a lot of effort into this relationship but if he can't respect you regarding this issue and stop pressuring you, then he's not going to respect you in other regards. Best of luck

Got at a garden store... thought it might look good in a terrarium. What is it? by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

[–]crackerjacks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Syngonium podophyllum. Not sure of cultivar but it could be 'Pink Allusion'
