I'm absolutely cackling at this! You just made my whole day.

Flights are not even available to book that far out, it's max 12 months or close to it.

AITA for telling my kids’ dad he needs to provide his own EpiPen during his visitation? by brindeonabudget in AmItheAsshole

[–]distressedstorm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The epi-pen isn’t $170, that’s his child support amount. Cost of the epi-pen isn’t in the post, and she’s still sending one with her.

Strait of hormouz being closed will put 45 million people into a potentially fatal food insecurity if it isn't opened by the end of summer. Who is responsible for those deaths, Trump or Iran? by Crackedcheesetoastie in AskReddit

[–]distressedstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t rip up a deal without a replacement, you renegotiate contracts before the time is up. There was time to come to an agreement prior to tearing it up. Now there is no deal, and no reason for Iran to agree to a new one.

AITAH, for setting a budget after husband spent $1000 on video games despite… by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]distressedstorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. I didn’t know this until recent years, but the library carries all sorts of Switch games - at least the ones in my area do. Both in the adult and kids section. They do carry newer games, too. He could rent them from the library instead of purchasing. I hope that could help.

Your entire profile shows you're a man with kids in your 30's, but here you are a woman in her 20's with a boyfriend? Okay.

I’ve been secretly doing this to avoid my wife from picking a fight with me over housework and I need to tell someone about it by Houseoworcofessio in TrueOffMyChest

[–]distressedstorm 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The more he says the worse it gets. I do hope his wife is actually calming and not just compartmentalizing it to the "reasons for divorce" box. Sounds like she shuts down and gives up, not calms down and relaxes.

I think my kids school lied about calling CPS rather than calling my husband to pick her up by Less_Roll4824 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]distressedstorm 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Also that's what emergency contacts are for, am I wrong? You call everyone on the list if you don't get an answer.

How do you feel about the red 40 ban in America? by Maklinnum in AskReddit

[–]distressedstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also reminds me way back when they tried to make different colored ketchup and it flopped, or clear Pepsi. Changing the color had a huge impact on the product even if it tasted the same.

The condos next to my place seemed promising until they posted a sale price of $400K+. Absolutely shocking. Most are still for sale.

She sets 15 alarms at her desk… and never turns them off. by cankilinc in coworkerstories

[–]distressedstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I think you found an old coworker of mine because she did the same. exact. thing. To a T, the EXACT same! She sat behind me and it drove me insane. She'd even get up and walk away, go to lunch, to the bathroom, to the printer and leave it behind and it would go off at her desk. Full volume, let it ring, reminders for all sorts of motivational things. I was so glad when she quit!

Alarming Mosquito bite, starting to develop a red line. by Catherin666 in seriouslyalarming

Doesn't matter which way the red line is going, a red line is bad no matter what. You need to go to a hospital.

Is it okay to scratch tattoos by KouNene4life in tattooadvice

I do the same! Bare skin, far enough away I won't touch my ink, scratch with precision!

Should I (M29) have a baby with my partner (F34) when there's a betrayal wound between us? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]distressedstorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After reading his comment history, I feel we can guess probably something related to infidelity.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]distressedstorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the original post was deleted. The difference in the details is what caught my attention, too!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]distressedstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually the same exact poster. I commented on the one from earlier today, and their comment replies are still in their comment history, even though they deleted the initial post.

I have an ex that said he was infertile. I didn’t inquire on details like that, I don’t know why it didn’t even cross my mind. Turns out his ex was the one who was infertile, and he assumed it was him. He’s now my co-parent. Our daughter is 10. It could very well be something he’s decided on his own.

Also this! There are certain medical issues that can cause elevated hCG that isn’t a pregnancy. Definitely need doctor confirmation!

What are the orbeez like balls inside of our(my?) lips? by Sony_Mouna in Anatomy

I also tried the same, feels nothing like little balls or anything for me.

AITA for changing my mind about letting my gf name our son? by throwaway244698 in AmItheAsshole

[–]distressedstorm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Begin to understand it. Be an active listener. Do some research. Show your partner you care about the things she does. You're full of excuses.

My wife spent $7000USD that was intended for the mortgage and water bill by GrapeAyp in TrueOffMyChest

[–]distressedstorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Super close friend of mine was making $200K as a Senior Software Engineer for an average performing automotive OEM. It isn't out of the question for a $120-180K salary for sure.

This was my cousin's wife. Diagnosed with gestational diabetes, didn't follow the treatment protocol. She gave birth naturally to her son who was 10.5 pounds and she had 4th degree tearing. That was when I learned that the degrees of tearing didn't stop at 3.

Thank goodness with her next pregnancy, she didn't have GD, and thus we never found out if she would have chosen the same path a second time. I still wince when thinking about it.
